Floral print makes my heart sing.

wish

I kind of have a constant wish list going in my mind. Of things I'd like to add to my wardrobe each season. If I had an endless supply of money, I'd add every piece. But because I don't, I pick and choose the pieces that I'm really excited about, the pieces that I think will have a lasting place in my wardrobe, or the pieces that I can find at a great deal. This season, for fall, these are the things hovering around on my wishlist:

White Oxfords. I've wanted oxfords for a while now because of their ease and comfort, and because of their character. I'm a little preppy at heart, and I know I'd get a ton of use out of them. Oxfords that are white and a light tan would work too.

Over The Knee Boots. If I had skinny model long legs I'd want these even more, I'm not sure how they'd look on my short frame. But they're definitely on my list of things to try on!

MAC Lipglass. As much of an advocate as I am for MAC, I've never tried their lipglass. I'd love a warm, natural dusty rose colored gloss for fall.

High Waisted Pants. This is another one of those things that I'd need to try on to check out how it flatters me, but I'd like it if my short legs looked longer. Dress pants that I can roll up the bottoms of to show off cute ankle boots or high waisted shorts that I could wear all fall with thick colored tights underneath them and knee high boots...either way I'd love it!

Puffy Vest. In a bright, obnoxious, look at me! color. I have a plain black puffy vest and I love it because even if I'm wearing a thin shirt on my arms it does wonders for keeping me warm. Easy to throw on, easy to move in when a jacket is slightly too inhibiting. Now just looking for a fun color for winter.

Animal Print. Super in this season, and super timeless. The areas in which I'd want animal print are either a cardigan for layering purposes, cute little flats like these ones that are laced up in the back, or possibly on a purse. But since I'm not really in the market for a new purse, I'm going to look into finding a cardigan or flats.

Lace Tights. Also super in this season by being part of the lace trend, I like their slightly gothic feel. More dramatic than plain tights, they can easily add a little punch to a dress.

swiss

OPI just came out with a new Swiss collection and I'm dying to get my hands on a bottle of this Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous color...it's so much more sparkly in person! Also, I just love the names for OPI's colors. There's a gold similar to this silver called "Glitzerland", and it's the Swiss collection. Oh how easily amused I can be!

I'm slowly acquiring classic pieces of jewelry. This pretty, simple silver chain is one of them. I rarely ever take it off, even when I'm wearing other jewelry. Just layer it on.

I am not a delicate girly girl. But twice this summer I've let my nails look like I am.

I live in flats. Boots that are flat or ballet flats. My black flats had recently been worn past the point of no return, and I was able to find a very similar pair on sale. Give me two years and I'll wear these down to nothing too.

I fell in love with these boots at Younkers. Where they were $200. Then became reacquainted with them at Macy's, where they were $90. A few sales and coupons later, and they became mine for $66. And I'm still in love.

simpson

Normally I am not a fan of Jessica Simpson's shoe line. They always have a close-but-not-quite feel to me. But these adorable lace up booties? Home run.

daily

Lately I'm into lipstick. Of all different colors. These ones are MAC's Diva, Vegas Volt, and Rebel. I love them all equally.

daily

I love lace, so I'm basically thrilled that it's super in this season. I got this lace dress at Forever 21 and wore it the next day. It's an off-the-shoulder type and basically perfect.

romp

Wait, one more glimpse of summer love. Then back to fall. But seriously, a long black cardigan over this, cute black ankle boots to go with? Ahh I love pieces that can transfer through the seasons.

herringbone

And now starts the progression of fall clothing I'm falling in love with. That dress on the left? Those tights? Oh yes please.

daily

This is a $4 Goody hair accessory. It's like the perfect little piece of sunshine to add to my hair when it needs some oomfph.

bag

Um, perfect nautical beach bag? Yes please! Anyone want to go to Nantucket?

daily

I got this vest thing from Buckle. It sat in my closet for a month because I couldn't decide how I wanted to wear it. And then I figured it out, and wore it two days in a row because I love it. That's the back, all lace. Looks super cool.

fall

This picture makes me excited for fall clothing. My last fall on campus. And the leaves. That's what I get from this picture.

nautical

Oh how I love all things nautical. Wait, no. Not all things. Cheesey anchors all over the place, not for me. I like the feeling of trends without obvious cues.

table

I saved this picture out of an email from CB2. And I titled it, "lova that table". Because I was in a quirky mood, yes, but also because, really? I know it's two tables pushed together, but I love the way it looks as one long unit. Can't wait to have a house of my own to decorate! And to entertain in.

I first saw this bracelet in New York and really liked it, but it was $30, and I don't spend that much on jewelry. At some point I'm sure I will, because I get that the quality makes a difference, but I'm still in the broke-college-student-saving-a-lot-because-I-don't-know-what's-yet-to-come-in-my-life stage. So I waited, found a coupon, got a deal, and then still paid a bit more than I usually do on such things, but for the bracelet I haven't stopped thinking about since New York. It's Fossil, and I love it!

I love makeup. MAC, in particular. Recently I acquired a few Macy's gift cards. Macy's gift cards = new makeup for me! I ran up to Hailey, my favorite girl at the MAC counter, clapping my hands telling her I had gift cards, which put a big smile on her face, because she knows I don't spend much, unless I'm spending gift cards. I needed to replace my bronzer, because I'm almost out, and Hailey excitedly asked me if I wanted the limited edition packaging. My response was, "of course!". Look how beachy and fun this compact is! I love it.
