On The Radar

With Christmas coming up my mind is on overdrive thinking of the perfect present for the bf. Recently, I did an excellent job in the gift giving department for a special birthday celebration and I must keep the streak alive. However, this post has nothing to do with the bf's gift but as I rack my mind (and the mall) for him, I have come across a few items I would like to purchase for myself. Take note, this is not my official Christmas wish list. That will come later...along with a possible boyfriend list.

Today I had an awesome (in my opinion), classic, outfit idea while sitting in a meeting at work (I'm clearly in the wrong industry). I would love some grey work pants (the lighter grey shade), a blue blazer, and a cute white or off white blouse. I don'h have pictures but if I find the perfect grey work pant...I will let you know.

This beauty can be purchased at Urban Outfitters for $78.00. I also would like a royal blue one, tan, and grey. Urban Outfitters doesn't have green but I would like them to.

I saw this scarf in person, in kelly green...but didn't buy it. Shame on me.

Thank you, Dorthy Perkins. $12.00

I just purchased shoes very similar to this and love them. I think I scared my coworkers with my height but it was totally worth it.

Happy Cyber Monday window shopping!

Holiday Dresses

It's tiiiiiiime! The holiday season is here. Christmas parties are starting and it's time to play dress up. Who feels pretty in a cute dress and heels? I do! I do! I do!

I like the idea of buying a new dress for every fun event but sometimes you have to weigh the price of the dress against being able to make the car payment. A repossessed car is WAY more embaressing than a repeated dress. Sometimes though, its in the budget. Jackpot.

This classy little number is from Modcloth.com. At $180 I consider it a mid point price. $100 is afforable and $300 means you absolutely love it (and secretly will wear it again). $500 means you better be part of a wedding party and were forced to buy it.

These shoes didn't know it at the time, but they were created for this dress. Amazing. The price? $35. Oh my.

I am really loving the one shoulder look and I think this will be on my radar when picking a dress for the upcoming office party. This dress by TIBI was originally $425 but went on sale for $225. I think it could definitely be dressed up with a skinny, gold, glitter belt and gold glitter heels. It would also look great as is, paired with nude heels (to make the legs look extra long).

I think these shoes are appropriate if your going the glitter route.

This dress is adorable and probably the closest one to my style. This photo is courtesty of pinterest.com so I am unsure of the price and where to buy it. So unfortunate.

I can't wait to find the perfect party dress. Only 3 weeks until the office party. Happy shopping days ahead!

It's Been FAR Too Long

I love reading other peoples blogs and have a list of favorites so I REALLY need to try to keep up my own. I find stuff I love, want and even need every single day so perhaps my 2012 NY's resolution will be to update my own blog at least 3 times a week.

In the past 10 (eek) months my wants list has grown substantially (I had to Google to spelling of that).

Recently I added...

Tiffany Trefoil Key Pendant $1685

Gold Tiffany items are substantially more than the silver ones. I am loving my gold Nixon watch and need necklaces and earings to match. I am also lusting after the Tiffany & Co Heart Tag Earings in gold.

Steve Madden Ruckuss Boot $229

I have been wanting these boots from the moment I saw them. I will buy them some day very soon.

With Christmas season fast approaching I am looking forward to finding a new dress. This above photo is courtesy of pinterest.com so I don't know where it is from or a price. Possibly the best part of buying a new dress is buying new shoes to match...

Also courtesy of pinterest.com...sorry. Unfortunately these shoes don't match the dress above but they would really dress up a cute black number.

1 word. pinterest.

I am IN LOVE with kelly Green everything. I want a kelly green Marc Jacobs wallet, a kelly green blazer and a kelly green infiniti scarf. I bet this color will start popping up everywhere very soon but in the mean time it is hard to find!

Happy Window Shopping!
