Lust List

spring wishlist


Here are some items and trends that I'm currently lusting after! Scallops, pleats, and neon are just a few trends that are currently catching my eye. I've been on the lookout for the perfect watch, and this Marc Jacobs one might just fit the bill! I just love the warm tone and modern-ness of the light pink tones in rose gold! These checkered pumps by Miu Miu are an absolute must, if only I could get my hands on them! They're darling, don't you agree??? And of course, a tweed jacket, which is a fashion staple in my opinion! Still looking for mine!

Outfit posts coming up soon!

Garden Party


My love for pastel continues! This dress is the perfect combination of multiple pastel hues and a flirty one shoulder silhouette. I paired the look with some bright accessories-fuschia lipstick, an orange pochette, and sparkly bracelet-which I think adds some great contrast to the cotton candy colors in the dress.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Circle Circle Dot Dot


Happy Friday everyone!

Polka dots are such a fun print to wear, though I feel they can be a bit overwhelming at times. I like that the ones on this shift dress are larger, which in my opinion, makes the print less busy. I contrasted the usually feminine print with a more rugged safari vest to balance out the look. I bought this vest a while ago, but find that it's a very versatile piece in my closet. I've worn it so many ways, and it really has the ability to change the look of an outfit and tone down any fussiness.

Amethyst


Although I have a tendency to wear bright colors, purple isn't a popular color in my wardrobe. I couldn't resist buying this royal purple top though! It's made of a sheer chiffon silk fabric that flows really well and has an open back. I had a hard time coming up with a way to wear it, but my problem was solved with high waisted shorts and a bandeau....and some black pumps of course! Let me know what you think!

Abstract


This is actually the first time I've ever worn a romper....and I kinda like it! It was really easy pulling together the outfit, as all I needed was a blazer and heels. The romper stands really well on its own too, since it has such a bold print and bright color.

I have a really hard time finding blazers that fit well since I'm pretty small. Most blazers are too big and need alterations, but this one is really perfect. I'll let you in on a little secret....it's actually a little boys blazer!!!! While I did get a few funny looks when I was trying it on, it was well worth it, since it's practically the perfect simple blazer. I love the crest on it too!

Seaside



The sun FINALLY came out yesterday after a week of gloomy weather! What better way to celebrate by wearing a bright color? This Marc Jacobs pleated top is one of my favorites! Orange seems to be one of the spotlight colors of the season and in my opinion, can work on most anyone. It really adds a glow to every skintone doesn't it?

I paired my orange top with a leather skirt from Zara that I bought a while ago and of course the Zara heels that have been so popular lately. I really love the simpicity of the leather skirt and I'm sure you'll be seeing me in it more often from now on!

Happy Weekend!!
