Back to School Checklist

What I'm looking forward to adding to my wardrobe just in time for the school year:

denim jacket / white jeans / boyfriend jeans / blue cami / dark wash jeans / textured pants / Tory burch flats / white sneakers / leopard flat / Red flat

//For the Top Half//
Silk Cami: Wear it with skirts, pants, under a blazer, under a cardigan. This blouse is the perfect year-round wardrobe addition
Denim Jacket: Mine is a bit on the baggy side, so finding a sturdy new denim jacket to go with, oh, just about everything is in order

//Pants//
New Skinny Jeans: Mine are a size too large and never keep their shape. I need a pair to last through the  school day
Boyfriend Jeans: Slouchy perfection
White Jeans: I'm warming up to the whole white-jeans-year-round trend...labor day rule be darned
Trousers: This is more of a autumn wardrobe prep: not completely necessary but oh-so chic

//Kicks//
Leopard Flats: Leopard is the new black. Plus, I adore the pointy toe and d'orsay details
Red Flats: simple, solid, can go with whatever I need it to
Tan Flats: ditto
White Sneakers: While breaking the labor day rule on pants, I'm not so sure I could do the same with shoes. However, these sneakers would last me a good 3 days before they go into storage
Sneakers: I love the sporty chic look and these sneakers are too cute to pass up

Lately

Want // Want // Need // Watch // Read // Read

Want: loving the idea of a delicately strappy sundress...I would be even more thrilled if the hem reached my knees 

Need: I'm currently out of stationary on which to record my daily to-do lists 

Watch: for those of you who are unfamiliar with Wes Anderson's work, I suggest becoming familiar ASAP. While some may find his movies odd and entirely confusing, I find them charming and hilarious and they often leave me thinking for days afterwards. This film was no exception. 

Read: my friend, NSR, and I have decided to form a sort of book club between the two of us to motivate us to actually read the books we've been meaning to as well as to have a further excuse to get together. These are the first two picks.

DVF for Baby Gap

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9  /  10  

While surfing on Gap, an ad caught my eye, which doesn't happen very often. I saw this picture. Now i may not be super involved in the world of fancy designers and the fashion industry (or baby clothes for that matter), but i know who Diane Von Furstenburg is and i have to say, this collection for baby gap leaves me wishing i was a kid again. Every piece is very unique and if i    saw a munchkin dressed in any one of these pieces, i would give them one of my envious i-want-your-entire-outfit looks. I know, real mature. 
I also wanted to take this opportunity to wish all of the moms out there a happy mother's day       in advance. I love my mom beyond words...she is pretty cool (as far as moms go) and is my second opinion when it comes to clothes ;). She supports me in everything i do and that is why       i will be spending the day giving her a home-done manicure and facials. So kudos to all of the moms out there.
Maybe after pampering yourself all day sunday, go pamper your baby girl by buying her some new DVF ;)
Just kidding! Enjoy your mother's day!

Lusting over Lavender

Stud Earrings / Bow Stud earrings / Clutch  / Chevron blouse / Ankle Strap Flats / belt / shirtdress / Lace Bodice dress / Jacket / Pleated dress / Green and Purple Flats / Black and Purple Flats / Polka Dot Pants  / Triangle Bracelet / dangle earrings / Pants / boat shoes /Cap Toe Heels / scarf / lace skirt / Blazer /  Textured Bangle

As the warm weather begins, the flowers bloom, and the days last longer, i find my mind dreaming of pastels. Blush, baby blue, mint, light yellow, light coral, and lavender are just a few of the colors taunting me and my wardrobe as of late. I have some sort of clothing in every color except lavender and that is the color that i'm dying over this year! I love that it's a shade of purple (for the raven's, naturally) and yet still so feminine and delicate. I'm really considering buying either the scarf, the plain pants, or the ankle strap flats. What's  your favorite springtime color?
