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.

1) Tory Burch Brita Riding Boot

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.

2) Marley Lilly Monogrammed Duffel

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.. 

3) J.Crew 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. 

4) Moon and Lola Acrylic Monogram Necklace

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?

5) Bun Bow

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!

1) Tory Burch umbrella

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.

2) Jonathan Adler sticky notes

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.

4) Frye boots

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. 

5) Kate Spade watch

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

6) Spray water bottle/fan

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!

Wishlist Wednesday

Hey everyone! Welcome back to Wishlist Wednesday (or as my boyfriend calls it, the easiest way to find me presents). 

1) Lilly Pulitzer bikini 

Great fit and pattern combos!

2) Red Dress Boutique dress

 I love this bright and versatile dress that's perfect for showing off a tan. (Note to self: get a tan)

3) David Yurman cable bracelet

If only. Santa if you're reading this I was a very good girl this year!

4) PB Teen wall decals
My roommate had these last year and everyone who came into our room commented in how great they looked. I think they're a perfect way to make our cinder block walls more homey. 

5) Kate Spade popsicle coin purse 

So summery and cute!

Wish List Wednesday

Like most people, I have a wishlist a mile long. Browsing online and visiting stores to add to it is a hobby of mine. Some of the items on it are more realistic than others, but I would definitely be happy to have any of these! These are the five things that I am lusting after most:

1) Metro Watch

Among purses, I believe that watches are the best kind of fashion purchases. Their value does not depreciate, they last forever, and they get so much use. I am always looking to expand my watch collection, and these Kate Spade watches are adorable. 

2) Athens Dress

I've tried this dress on two different times, and both times I put it back on the rack because there were other pieces that I wanted more. But I'm still thinking about how cute it is! I'm definitely hoping to add this to my collection soon. 

3) Monogrammed chevron binder

Maybe its nerdy, but I love love love buying school supplies. It gets me so excited for new classes, and I like to tell myself that cuter supplies motivate me to work harder. I just preordered my Lilly Pulitzer agenda, and this binder is perfect for my next school purchase. They come in a variety of colors and patterns and all can be monogrammed. 

4) Pineapple Bikini

I have a confession to make: I collect bikinis. Somehow I can always manage to justify buying another one. While I've curbed my bathing suit habit a bit, this pineapple bikini might be enough to make me fall off the wagon.

5) Espadrille Wedges

I've been in the market for wedges that I can use both at work and with casual outfits, and I think these J.Crew espadrilles fit that description. They're versatile and also a great height for a tall girl like me. 

Hopefully I can pick some of these up soon! What are you wishing for this Wednesday?
