Keep it Going.

Buying

N.Y.L.A. Valley Boots...I have a long, loving history with moccasins and wearing them until my toes scrape the ground (possibly because I bought most of them at dollar stores?) Either way, these seemed like a fun and more durable variation.

Juicy couture Charm Bracelet...I always liked all the cute little charms they have so I bought a silver one.

I can't wait to deck it out! I'm a sucker for cute little tokens associated with memories so what better than a charm bracelet...and if you're gonna do it, might as well be J.C.!



Despising!

So I have gauged ears (1/2 inch), not the most chic look as far as earrings go. I am attached to them though and not ready to let go just yet. One problem...I HATE most earrings out there for my ears

Ugh, it's a trashy mess.

But...there's hope! While perusing etsy I found some awesome alternatives!

The top ones were made from vintage earrings and the bottom pair from vintage pearl buttons! I thought it was really cool so I'm going to attempt to make my own. If i fail...I'll buy these.

So I have been eyeballing duck boots for the longest time, inspired initially by Land's End and L.L. Bean Style. Well of course, then there was Tommy Hilfiger.

Still, I was not totally sold on them for me...THEN, I saw THESE

Michael Kors Slicker Boots...this is what my dreams are made of *sigh*.

Seen here on the gorgeous Garance (from The Sartorialist <3).Oh, what I wouldn't do (well first to have those boots, but also to have her style). She's amazing.

Sadly, I'll probably settle for some Land's End Canvas duck boots to round out the winter but a girl can dream right?

 A while ago I said I was going to post my favorites from Marc Jacobs SS'11. The colors are SO incredible! In the third pic down I really like the look on the background model actually. The purple, red, and that brown sash belt are insane together. What a combination! Spring is going to be so fun to see what people are wearing after the SS'11 shows! The colors are bold and refreshing (color-blocking, yes!) and the shapes (especially the ones seen here) are feminine and easy.

New Year.

Buying

Ralph Lauren Nicole Plaid Belted Trench...I was looking for a good tan trench, I spotted this on the Ralph website and the price was right so I went for it. It has yet to arrive so hopefully it's the one!

Seychelles Blimey Pumps in Clay...The color was not what I expected but I LOVE them. They are so insanely comfortable and the green/brown/gray is a good neutral staple.

Just bought these today...Matt Bernson Matinee Oxfords. Soooo excited for these, just ordered them today and I have so many ideas!

Betsey Johnson Bow Ring...nothing too special but I've been meaning to order it for a while and I finally did.

Juicy Couture Waffle Cardigan...I was recently stopped and informed (for the second time) that Jennifer Garner had been "spotted" in US Weekly in the same sweater! (I thought it was kind of funny)


Considering

 A pair of Bass Nikki boots, I feel like they would do good things for my wardrobe but I don't know how well I'd pull them off...?

I am also looking into going for knock-offs :/ of that Mulberry I mentioned before and a Proenza Schouler PS1 bag (above). I mean I could never afford them otherwise and they are SO amazing!

If I could have it my way with the trench situation it would be this Burberry. Unfortunately, my pockets aren't quite that deep (ok, not by a longgg shot) :(

Blair's main look for the Christmas GG episode. I'm looking into to recreating it at the moment, the blouse, skirt, and tights are all incredible. I mean, I reallyy love this.

Coconuts by Matisse Davis Booties...look eerily similar to Chloe's but I can actually afford them! Why don't I have them yet? I CAN'T FIND THEM! One day, I will own them, mark my words.

And finally, Marc Jacobs Katie Ring...because it's Marc Jacobs and because it's called Katie! <3


here's to your resolutions,
