Ok, I put together a top ten list of items I'd like to purchase to update my fall/winter wardrobe. I think these top ten items will make me happy. I've got a lot of clothes so these pieces would just help me adjust the wardrobe. I will be updating the list as I see fit. Just joking. I will change it up as I research some more. Not purchasing anything til I get the other house sold. BTW, don't be biting off my list.
1)Black Leggings-I already own American Apparel black leggings and I wear them constantly during cold weather but I'm looking to update them this year. I'd like some liquid/leather ones. I probably can't afford the leather ones I want but these look good. I'm looking at these cropped ones b/c they probably come up to my ankles since I'm so short.
2. Loeffler Randall Black Boots- I already own a pair of boots by them but they are short and have a heel. I'm looking for a higher boot with no heel. They are extremely expensive so this would be a very big purchase. They also sell out pretty fast. They aren't the cutest but they look super comfy and very cool. I'm also deciding whether they are comfy b/c the other ones I own hurt my feet to the point where I have to wear flats the next day. I'm going to research these a bit more.
3. Anything from the new J.Crew catalog. I'm in love with the cords in the bright colors. Green and/or purple would be fabulous in my wardrobe. Also the jewelry.
4. Anything from 3.1 Philip Lim. I absolutely love Philip Lim because he tries to bring high fashion to the masses. It isn't cheap but it's still pretty affordable if I don't eat out for a month and so totally worth it. You guys have seen me in my two dresses and they are the s*&t. Here's one of my favorite dresses from this season. The color looks amazing and will totally make me pop.
5. Something gray and something with sequins. Lucky for me I came up with this Philip Lim sweater. This is the back view. This one might require two different items. Banana Republic has this gray dress that's calling my name. It's very MadMenish.
6. Anything from the Alexander Wang line. He's a hot new designer and his pieces are mostly black and who couldn't use a new black shirt, dress, and/or pants all the while looking hip.
7. Brian Atwood heels. I love his sky high heels plus he is dating Nate Berkus. How cute is that? These two styles are nice and different from what I've got. Not a big fan of the animal print but these are kind of cool. They look a little too Steven Maddenish which kind of turns me off. What do you think?
8. A new handbag. I love my purse but it's huge and it's time for a change. I'd like something colorful and definitely not black. I have lots of black handbags. I'm thinking messenger bag. I've also always wanted a Mulberry purse. It's the blue one and it's name is Mabel. Inside joke for some people. This Botkier purple one is kind of cute too. The Marc Jacobs pink one is HOT! I might just get a black messenger bag. Le SportSac has one for like $40.00. It's cute too!
9. Gold Jewelry-I'm all over gold jewelry right now. Mamí bought me some cool gold hoop earrings but I'm looking for some little gold stud earrings and maybe some chunky good hoop earrings. The hoops don't have to be real gold. I had an awesome pair that Michael gave me but I lost one of them in Atlantic City. Don't you just hate that random lost earring? As soon as you throw it away you'll find the missing earring.
10. Penny loafers-I know it's crazy because I had a pair in high school and I worked them. I thought I was the coolest til I had to have them fixed. Being that we were poor my parents took it to the cobbler in Mexico who proceeded to mess them up and I never wore them again. It pissed my parents off but he put this gigantic heel on it to replace the one I had worn out. Brings back bad memories. They were flat unlike these. Here's what I'm thinking. Can't wait to wear them with a plaid skirt. I know they are Louboutins but they are pretty awesome. I'm looking to see if someone else makes one but you've got to admit these are hot. Wonder if I'll put a shiny new penny in them.
XOXO

love the shoe picks! not crazy about the purses *what is this the 80's*
not biting off your list........but I have gone legging crazy! since I have the nordy discount, can't help it.
Get the shiny ones, you can dress them up or down, fun fun.....
Those boots are not cute, especially if they cost a lot. I have seen your boot collection, at least half of it, and those boots will get lost after your wear them twice, let's be real, you have so many fabulous boots.....
where do you find the time???? You should be a personal assistant, you could really help a lot of people when it comes to shopping!!!!! its your calling......
p.s. go with the purple!!!!! it looks great for the fall!!!
