What's in my cart...Tophop, ZARA, Lastcall

Lately I've been a bit off makeup.. that's right I said it! Summer collections have underwhelmed me to say the least. My fingers are crossed that the fall collections will be more exciting -- Guerlain's looks promising!

In the meantime I have been OBSESSED with fashion blogs (Atlantic-Pacific, buy now, blog later, and Pink Peonies are a few current favs!) and just discovered Polyvore. I've gotten super inspired to mix up my wardrobe and transition into a slightly more sophisticated style of dress. More preppy with a trendy edge =) To do this I have decided to invest in some classic pieces as well as a few trendy pieces that I can mix into the clothes I already have.

These are some recent purchases I'm waiting for in the post...

APRIL Wish List: Shoes & Bags!

Lately I've found myself browsing less for makeup and more for accessories, particularly handbags and shoes! Here are a few of the things I have been lusting over lately...

Sperry Angelfish Slip On Boat Shoes

I can't help it, I think boat shoes are cute! I've basically fallen in love with these.. they must be mine! You can check them out here.

Louis Vuitton Damier Neverfull MM

I haven't purchased a handbag since my last summer and I've gotten an itch for a new one! Although I would just die for a Celine Luggage bag, something like this LV tote is more affordable for me... and is still right out of my price range :)

J Crew Tillary tote

So this is my Celine-inspired substitute. This handbag is from J Crew (found here) and is leather, so I'm thinking the quality would be nice!

TOMS Ash University Rope Sole Classics

I've never been a huge fan of TOMS, but I saw these in the store a while back and I still think about them.. You can check them out here!

'TRENDS: Wedges/Summer Heels' to LIVE FOR...

With spring and summer slowly approaching I have started scoping out possible additions for my shoe collection =) The past few years I have been obsessed with platforms (heels I mean, when talking about shoes 99% of the time I'm talking heels lol) and over last fall and winter it turned into WEDGE platforms.

Aldo 'Luzier' $120

I fell in love with a pair of Acne booties last year, but at around $800 they were out of the question. I was pumped when I found this pair at Aldo that resembled the Acne booties and were actually in my price range! They are totally killer and I get compliments every time I wear them :)

Now on to finding some summer wedges and platforms..

Aldo 'Evroange' $100



Aldo 'Edvalson' $90

I'm about 99.9% sure I am getting Aldo's 'Evroange' wedges. I LOVE the pattern on the platform heel.. it's very Aztec/Native American-esque which is a trend that I have been getting into lately.
The next pair 'Edvalson' are also a great pair of wedges. I like the idea of getting a nude pair for the spring/summer.. they can go with almost everything. I'm wanting a pair that are slightly darker than this one, a color that will sort of blend with my tan and almost disappear when I wear them. May sound weird, but it will make your legs look amazing and long as hell!

I am also lusting over one pair of heeled sandles in particular. The Jessica Simpson 'Dany' platforms.


Jessica Simpson 'Dany' in Grey orig $120

 I have found these at numerous websites for anywhere from $80-$120. They come in black, grey, tan..and perforated brown and frost (cream colored, pictured below).

JS 'Dany' in Frost

 About a month ago there was a sale on hautelook.com and they had the 'Dany' for like $45!!! I'm pretty bummed I wasn't quick enough to get them in my size :'(  Not sure how often I would wear these, but I desperately want them in grey.... I mean, I could wear them around the house..right? haha


What shoes are you lusting over?? Would you rock super high platform wedges? Comment below!!
