Boucle Belle


blue/wine/rose/lemon/grey 

Currently craving these snuggly boucle sweaterdresses from Topshop. They look perfect and cozy for everyday wear and winter layering, and dressing up with heels and a statement necklace. And so soft! I want one in every color, but especially wine. I'd probably sleep in these too, so it could really be a sound investment... 

January Wishlist


Keeping and updating a wishlist helps me focus when I'm out and about or at the flea market. It also helps reduce impulse purchases in favor of curating and crafting a well thought-out, cherished collection of objects. (1) Right now I'm about to start crocheting a striped neck scarf inspired by the one I found on pinterest in shades of soft grey, brown, poppy and cornflower blue. Perfect nighttime t.v. watching project for the next week or so! (2) The next thing on my list is a medium-sized, structured handbag. I've craved every color of these Cambridge satchels, including mint and neon yellow, but I'm pretty sure the Modcloth's Oxblood version from is now my fave. (3) I'm still hoping to find a working vintage typewriter for a good price. (4) After trying Sugar's lip products, I really want to try their clear lip therapy and the pretty pink Rose. (5) Studded, buckled and low-heeled: could these babies be the holy grail of shoes? Too bad the original, Chloe's Susanna, are like a million dollars. I'm seriously considering Forever 21's red version...which would go nicely with some bright coral nailpolish, like Essie's Snap Happy (6), and a good pair of black skinnies (7). My closet is technically lacking this staple *gasp*! (8) The last thing on my list right now is a ladder. Yup, a plain, simple, hopefully worn, hopefully free wooden ladder; I want to lean it against the wall near the stove ad hang pots, pans and utensils from it with s-hooks for easy access.

Sweet September

I'm so happy it's Autumn - the house smells like a candy factory and I love it! I've been setting dishes of Smarties around the house, baking butterscotch chip cookies and apple crumbles, making Fall pom-pom wreaths, and watching the new bbc show Copper. However, I haven't changed out of t-shirts and jeans for a while, so I'm feeling in need of some more sartorial sass. As the temperatures drop and the wind picks up, I'm planning layered looks. Sweaters and skirts, tights and shorts, jackets and dresses - this really is my favorite time of year!


September Wishlist

  1. kick-ass lace-up brogues {I want a sturdier pair to replace my worn-out faves)
  2. a leather-sleeved coat, either army or khaki would be great.
  3. best buy: asos skull bracelet
  4. the Especially Escada perfume sounds divine - pear, rose, ylang-ylang and musk 
  5. Yves Saint Laurent's y-mail wallet {I've been obsessed for years}
  6. I need to stock up on tights, and I'm loving these Romwe stripes!
