Today's Wishlist

Most of these have to do with my upcoming trip to England that I'm incredibly excited about.

This amazing passport cover. I posted about a wallet from this amazing Etsy shop a little while ago.



I bought my first maxi dress in 2008 at The Gap when I worked there, and I purchased my second one this week. I may or may not have worn it like 3 times already. Since I'm having such a love affair with it, I think I'm ready to branch out to maxi skirts. This one from Anthroplogie is gorgeous.



I've been wearing the same pair of black Ray Ban Wayfarers for over 2.5 years, and while I love them, they've definitely seen better days. I'm loving this two-toned pair from Ray Ban as well.



Even though I have like 5 pairs of Toms (shoes are my weakness) I've wanted a red pair for quite a while. I think they add the perfect pop of color to a summer wardrobe. I love these Red Canvas Classics.



They sold out before I got a chance to purchase one, but I'm completely obsessed with this three-tier ruffle jacket from LOFT.

Fashion Inspiration: Carrie Bradshaw

So, SJP aka Carrie Bradshaw has the most amazing wardrobe ever in the final season of Sex and the City.










I'll have one of each, please.

Elie Saab

How amazing are these dresses in Elie Saab's Spring 2011 collection? I know I'm a little late in posting these, but I am DYING over them. I could buy one and wear it in my daily life, right?

I want to listen to this album all day while wearing this skirt.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Pinterest, but most especially because it's increased the amount of sparkles/glitter/shimmer/sequins in my (virtual) life.

If I ever have an extra $258 laying around waiting to be spent on something beautiful, this would be it:

In more realistic news, I love this heart pin from ban.do. And I love her hair. Why can't mine look like that?

Summertime

Okay, so I just made this skirt using a tutorial from this lovely blog. It only took about an hour, and I plan to make 50 more this summer. The top of the skirt is elastic, I'm just wearing a grey flower belt from Anthropologie over it. Also, I think this is probably only the 2nd or 3rd picture of me that has ever made an appearance in the 130-ish posts on this blog. So enjoy.

Summertime fills me with hope. My plans so far:

1. Ride my bicycle everywhere.
2. Go on a lot of picnics.
3. Make tons and tons of homemade ice cream in the Kitchen Aid ice cream making bowl that I keep begging Andrew to let me get.
4. Perhaps take up blogging again...i.e. post more than once or twice a month.
