Current Wishlist

Hi readers! Happy Labor Day! I hope everyone's having a wonderful day off.

I've gotta say, I'm really getting into the fall fashions right now. I'm going to attempt to brighten and freshen up my clothing offerings, for sure!

I am definitely one who loves layering things. And I love warm, knit scarves and sweaters more than probably anything else! There's just something about bundling up that makes me feel so warm (no pun intended!) and cozy. I'm pretty sure I'll have to move somewhere with a winter after I graduat from college; otherwise I'd never get to wear this stuff!

So, without further ado, here is what is currently on my wishlist right now:


Twisted Ascot Tee, Anthropologie

The lovely sort of ochre color in this top is something that's sadly missing in my wardrobe. I can picture this matching with so many things, and it would be great to layer under cardigans! I hope to snap it up some time soon.

Wide-Wale Roll-Ups, Anthropologie
These shorts are the perfect pair to layer over some tights for those fall days when the temperature has dropped just enough to make bare legs a no-go. The corduroy fabric and great color options (twists on your normal neutrals!) fit the bill for me as well.

Sidebent Tank, Anthropologie
This is a tank I tried on in store when I was home back at the end of July. I loved the fit and the color options, but didn't bit the bullet and buy it. I've been rethinking it ever since, and am especially happy to see my side in this lovely colorway still available online.

Brooch-Topped Skimmers, Anthropologie
I'm in need of some new, good-quality flats to wear around, and this pair is adorable! Although perhaps not the most practical for everyday life's callings, I still wouldn't mind slipping my tootsies into them for the day.

Double-cloth lady day coat with Thinsulate, J. Crew
This coat is most likely going to be at the top of my birthday list (hooray for having a birthday timed so nicely with fall!). I love, love, LOVE the heather majestic purple color offering, a color which seems to be one common to many items in J. Crew's collection. This is probably my favorite purple-y blue color out there, and this coat will be mine. I just need to figure out my size! Sizing at J. Crew always seems to be so strange for me.

And that's it for now! In other news, I have some things coming my way from etsy sellers, so you can be sure I'll post a recap once I've received my purchases!

Monday Longings

A further new weekly feature for the viewing pleasure of myself, as well as my readers of course!

This feature will be posted every Monday, and will include a list of the few things at the top of my wish list currently. Perhaps it will supply some comfort to me and prevent my wallet from being completely empty as I refrain from purchasing these things!

Here goes...

[1]

1. A colorful pair of pants, like these here! Isn't that rose color a fantastic take as opposed to a neutral? I can picture it going with so many things! Plus Pilcro is probably my current favorite maker of pants. So comfortable, great quality, and for a decent price when it comes to upper-end clothing products!

2. A worldly pillow. Clearly my travel bug has translated to how I want to decorate my home. Now I just can't decide, which one do I prefer? Aw heck, I want both!

3. This jacket. I can see it carrying me perfectly through the fall weather here in Vermont. (Very) early birthday present, perhaps?

[5]

4. And lastly, for my sweet tooth, these delicious-sounding cookies. I love Earl Grey tea, and so I'm so very tempted to fill my desire for an order of these scrumdidlyumptous treats.

So there, some lovely eye-candy to start the week off right! Talk to you soon, readers!
