What I Want NOW!

Girliness abounds in my recent wish list:

Recently I bought a cute square cake pan from Marshalls and after I saw this apron, I imagined myself baking my cute little square cake while wearing this. Is it not adorable?


Spring Mix apron $28 @ Anthropologie

I bought some tulle from Walmart to add to a fifties style vintage dress that I found but this adorable slip from Shabby Apple will do the job and I can pair it with different dresses for added girlishness.


Shabby Apple tulle slip $32

Very lady who lunches, I would toughen up this necklace by wearing ripped denim boyfriend jeans and heels.


J. Crew Carrington crystal bow necklace $295

What I Want NOW!

I am really feeling J. Crew these days, (especially since they have closed Club Monaco in Northpark Mall, shame on them!) They seem to be mixing more affordable items in their line, which I appreciate.


J. Crew slub cotton embroidered flowers tee $42.50

I want to pair this with a black suit and layers of gray and white pearls. I never thought I'd see the day when I would want to pay $42 for a TEE SHIRT but that day is here, people.


J. Crew Winnie jacket $245

PERRRRRRFECT.

Harajuku Lovers women's patch two piece pump $89.95

I have been on the lookout for some non-peep toe but still stylish shoes for work and these pumps fit the bill. I think I may dream of them tonight....They do not have my size on Amazon so I am off to look for a free shipping coupon from Victoria's Secret, I HATE paying shipping and handling!
