Wishlist Wednesday

Happy Hump Day everyone! Anyone else think of the Geico commercial there? Here are this week's additions to the ever-growing wishlist. This one is pretty fall-centric because of all the beautiful fall collections that I've been browsing through this week.

I love this boot. The color is amazing for fall and I like that, unlike on so many Tory Burch shoes, the logo is subtle. These were on sale for $299 from $495 at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and I had a long internal debate about getting them. By the time my debate was over, all that was left was a size 5. Tragic. They're sold out in brown now but still available in black.


I love the classic look of this duffle. I travel a lot, and this would be the perfect replacement for my old suitcase. I think that everyone can agree that if you're going to monogram anything, it should be luggage, and I find this to be a very classy use the monogram.. 

Quilted tack jacket
 I know that it's the middle of summer, but I can't resist coveting this J. Crew piece. It would be perfect for fall, and be a good substitute to the North Face Denali jacket that I basically live in from October to December. 

I like the heavier look of acrylic monograms for fall. I lean heavily on brown and gold accessories in the colder months, so I would get a tortoise-shell monogram and a gold chain. BTW, I have a friend whose monogram is actually KSM, the standard "example" monogram. How lucky is she?

I'm a fan of hair bows, but I have such thick hair that hair clips usually end up looking a little funny because they can't grasp a lot of hair. This bun bow is the solution; instead of a clip it has an elastic. This would hold much better in thick hair, and is also shown being worn on the wrist! I find this to be a perfect accessory. 

It's almost the weekend, preps!

Wishlist Wednesday

Wow it's Wednesday already?! I feel like all of a sudden the summer is flying by...Anyways happy Wishlist Wednesday! Enjoy and be sure to tell me what you're wishing for this week!

I've been using an umbrella with my company's logo on it this summer, which is unfortunately not as attractive as it is functional. This umbrella would be much better looking for when I go back to school.

I have a little obsession with sticky notes. My desk is always covered with them because I'm constantly writing down my random thoughts on them. I wouldn't mind having a desk covered in these adorable owl ones though!

3) Tory Burch cardigan
Can you tell I've been pursuing Tory Burch online? I have the "shrunken" version of this sweater, which I love for its warmth and style. I also like this longer version as well as this oatmeal color.

Fun fact about me: I am a cowgirl. No, for real. I've competed in rodeos and been trained in roping, bareback, gymkhana, you name it. Frye makes THE BEST cowboy boots. I've had mine for 6 years now (wow I'm old). In addition to wearing them on horseback, I like wearing Frye boots in the fall, and these have caught my eye. 

I blogged about this watch the other day...and now I'm thinking about getting it. This is how blogging can be dangerous, folks.


This is only a half serious item on my wishlist. When I was in elementary school, everyone had these spray bottles that misted you while fanning you at the same time, perfect for humid New York summers. I could seriously use one of these right now as it's going to be ONE HUNDRED degrees in NYC tomorrow (and probably about 29 degrees in my office). 

Stay cool, everyone!

Rain, Rain Go Away

I love New York. I love the history, the architecture, the culture, and the people. I love the sitting on a park bench and looking out at the water while the sun is shining. Which is usually is on a summer NY day. Therefore,  I naively thought that I was leaving rain and clouds behind in South Bend and so I put my rain boots in storage. Big. Mistake.I feel like every day since I started work I've either been walking to or from the office in some kind of downpour.
So, I've been in the market for some cute, rain-proof shoes to wear during my commute. Luckily, jelly flats are becoming more and more popular among my favorite designers. Check out my picks! 

I'm loving these J.Crew Factory rubber flats so much that I bought them for myself. They're fun and stylish, yet still totally practical. The color will definitely cheer me up on a rainy day, and the bow is a cute preppy touch.










Which is your favorite? What shoes do you love for rainy days?
