August Wishlist

Here's the August wishlist...if I could I would have weekly wishlists (because that better reflects my shopping habits in real life, heh), but I think that would be very time consuming. So here are some of my favorites for this lovely transition period that is coming upon us.

1. ASOS $53.90 2. ASOS $75.80 3.  Anthropologie $80 4. ModCloth $68.99
Wear white while you still can! To be honest, I'm not sure if I believe that whole "don't wear white after labor day" thing..mostly because I'm not a huge fan of wearing just plain white. But I can see myself wearing this cream colored peter pan collared dress all year round (though the long sleeves might be hot in the summer).  These shoes are also fantastic...I think the black ones are out of stock no (boo...), but they also come in taupe  and a lovely shade of pink.  This ring is so cool! I love the awkward tension created by the balancing sphere. And isn't this lovely faux fur hood just the greatest! I don't think I survive without it this winter.

1. ASOS $53.90 2. Anthropologie  $148 3. ModCloth $99.99 4. Anthropologie $78
I've noticed that bird prints have gotten somewhat popular this season, as well as sheer collared shirts...so I think this shirt is a lovely compromise. I have also been looking for a good pair of oxfords to carry me through the fall and winter.  I am going away to Washington D.C for a term this fall and need to professional-ize my wardrobe. I think that these would make a great everyday shoe. This Mod Cloth dress is fantastic! The assymetrical scallops are squiggly and delicate in the most perfect way.  If I actually save up the money and buy anything on this list it would be this awesome grey bow sweater.  I think I need to see it in person though...maybe it's too much?

Ahhh...it'll never be enough.

June Wishlist

Ahh...July is almost here and that also means the summer is half over.  While it hasn't exactly gotten that hot here yet, I'm already thinking about fall clothes and colder weather.  But it really is way too early for that, so to get my mind back on track, I decided to show you some of my favorite items of June...things I would buy if I could...I think I might make this into some kind of recurring blog post on my blog. 

 Left to Right: ModCloth $107.99, Anthropologie $128, Anthropologie $138, ModCloth $51.99

These dresses are perfect! My absolute favorite is the red, white, and blue one from Anthropologie (perfect for watching fireworks on the 4th of July).  It also has an open back and an adorable bow...I actually got to try this on the last time I was in an Anthro...and it fit so wonderfully! I hope it goes on sale soon! I love the dresses on the ends, too, because they seem to transcend seasons...I can see myself throwing on a pair of tights or stocking underneath and wearing them all winter long. The second dress is not polka dotted, but rather polka squared...! Its unique and beautiful and casual.

I've recently begun to re-embrace shorts. I could never really find a pair that I liked or that looked good on me...Shorts just seemed like a boring staple or something you sleep in.  But it seems like people are starting have much more fun with their shorts! All the patterns and interesting cuts and bows from this past season were very refreshing. I am also pretty happy that the whole "scalloped edge" thing is catching on.  I wish I could have called it, but I got really into scallop edged clothing like a year ago, when there really wasn't much to pick from.  While I'm not too sure I'm the kind of girl to wear something shiny and silver like the dress above, I do love the shape and tiers of the dress! And isn't that crystal and gem encrusted bicycle necklace THE BEST?

Well, apart from shopping online, what else have I been doing? For one, I went to the Massachusetts RMV (why they didn't just use DMV like the rest of the country, we'll never know) and converted my current NY State learners' permit to a Massachusetts one.....making me an official resident of the state of Massachusetts! However, if you ever ask me where I'm from, I will say New York because I love being a New York and did live there for the first twenty years of my life. 

Other than that, I have been house bound for the entire week, while taking antibiotics for this thing I have on my right pinky finger.  I apparently got some kind of chemical burn which got infected, and now I'm in quite a bit of pain.  Luckily, the antibiotics I got yesterday should kick in soon, and get me back up and running in a day or two.  

I I feel up to it...I might even publish my first style post for the blog! Yay!
