Schutz "Sherman" black studded sandals, $239.95 // Coclico "Juna" Open-Toe Ankle Wedge Sandals, $390 // Pour la Victoire "Fabia" Two Tone Sandals, $149.95 // Gentle Souls "Break My Heart" lace up sandals, $185
If I had it my way, all of these items would be making their way into my closet right now. But, I have to pay for the rest of my life somehow (and my 44 inch wide closet would not permit such a thing), so I can't go completely nuts. Only a little (*cue in evil laughter*). With that said, here's a list of things I've got my eye on right now. You can easily shop any of my picks by hovering over the image and clicking on it (a separate browser tab will open up!).
As I'm looking over my list, I realized how most of these items easily coordinate with one another! For example, every one of my sandal picks can be worn with the striped shorts below. The black leather peplum top would go quite nicely with ANY of the bottoms. I guess all those years of trying to squeeze my wardrobe into a small NYC closet forced me to learn how to buy items that I can mix and match the shit out of. Anyway... the studded sandals (Schutz) and the Gentle Souls (the black lace up sandals) are currently in transit. I'm holding out for a better deal on the Coclicos (my favorite of the four sandals) before I take the plunge.
Parker "Talon" Floral Pant, $179.99 // The Limited orange skirt, $59.50 // BCBG "Oriel Printed Boxing Short", $138 // BCBG "Pia Casual Short", $62.99
I've been waiting for the perfect pair of nautical shorts and the ones I found from BCBG fit the bill. And, they're on sale! The BCBG printed shorts are also a dream -- get in my closet! I'm not really a skirt person, but I haven't been able to take my eyes off this orange one from the Limited. Don't even get me started on the printed pants.
Mango "Ethnic Fabric Jacket", $129.99 // Helmut Lang Two Tone "Washed Organza" top, $295 // Club Monaco "Zelda" floral print top, $129.50 // Club Monaco "Denni" white top, $129.50 // Tibi leather sleeveless peplum top, $595
How awesome is this Mango jacket? They've decided to name it the "ethnic fabric jacket" of all things. I'm not even kidding. That is its actual name. Wow. The Helmut Lang two tone top would be a nice addition to my wardrobe. I would have to wear a camisole underneath for the office and I'm good to stalk my clients while they hide from me. I've been trying to experiment with more color and patterns lately, even being a bit matchy-matchy. I'd pair the Club Monaco floral print button down with the Parker floral pant and either throw on the Coclicos or Gentle Souls and then grab the Loeffler Randall Rider Bag on my way out. Damn. Now, I really want to do that. Damn. But, of all the tops, my favorite has to be the Tibi leather peplum. I've been on the fence about peplum (I once wore a neon orange top and matching detachable velcro peplum skirt over neon green tights with LA Gears in grade school and thought I was about that life), but I'm really loving this one by Tibi -- except for the $595 price tag. Unless! I can find it on Ebay or wait for it to go on sale and pray my size is available. It will make the ultimate investment piece!
Gorjana "Taner" necklace, $60 // Marc Jacobs "Ombre Mesh" bracelet, $88 // Loeffler Randall "Rider" bag, $495 // Panama "Bristol" hat, $56
I'm more a "silver" accessories kinda gal, so naturally any jewelry or hardware detail I'll pick will most likely be silver. :) This statement ombre mesh bracelet by Marc Jacobs would add a nice personal touch to any outfit. I like how it stands out without being loud. This Loeffler Randall bag is surprisingly more affordable than all the other designer bags out there right now. It even has bike straps, so you can take it out for a ride in the sun. Genius. And, we all need a Panama hat of some sort. And, finally... I actually own the Gorjana taner necklace and love it so much, I have to share the link. I've been into tiny, invisible jewelry lately and there's nothing this necklace won't go with.
And, there you have it. Hope you enjoyed my picks and are getting to enjoy some of this beautiful weather!
