Lust List

samudra bags are the best // the go-to pair of sunglasses // keep calm and wear lipstick // a camera that would be great for taking some artsy cherry blossom pictures (if they ever bloom) // a small bag for someone who doesn’t like to carry any bag // a dress that looks as comfy as pajamas // a BAM pair of summer sandals // a hat i wish i could wear

the weather here in d.c. has been absolutely insane… one day it seems like it’s about to get nice and warm, and the next it’s snowing and we have a delay in classes. i’m holding out hope that spring weather is right around the corner, and it should be, but the wait has me imagining summer. so until the spring temperatures arrive, i’ll be looking up warm weather clothes and pretending i’m in some tropical place.

the party never stops

amy-adams-vanity-fair-oscar-party-2014-ftrlast year when i wrote about my favorite outfits at the oscars i happened to focus on the vanity fair party, and this year i’m doing the same. at this point i feel like best-dressed of the oscars is all over the internet, and even though i may pick an outfit that isn’t as “popular” as others, it was probably already seen. i’m acting as if no one has seen outfits from the vanity fair party (which most likely isn’t true at all), but don’t blame me for trying to be a little different! i love to see what people wear afterwards, and i also imagine what i would wear if i ever went… not that i would ever be invited, but still. before i get into my outfit picks, i’d just like to mention that:

  1. the selfie that ellen took was amazing. i mean seriously, that was next level.
  2. jennifer lawrence tripping (again) was perfect.
  3. john travolta messing up idina menzel’s name had me laughing for longer than i’d like to admit.
  4. brad pitt passing out plates when the pizza was being handed out seemed so normal.
  5. the whole dancing with celebrities montage while pharrell performed “happy” was surreal.
  6. some of the comments during the red carpet coverage were ridiculous, but completely serious… “these people have been out here since 9 am today, they haven’t showered in days.” like what? what does that even mean? how does the commentator know that?
  7. pink’s tribute to the wizard of oz had me more than a little emotional. definitely had a flashback to childhood…
  8. emma watson and joseph gordon-levitt make quite the duo.
  9. lupita’s speech made me tear up.
  10. frozen won and all was right in the world.

there are so many different parts of these outfits that i love, and am tempted to stalk half of these looks on their respective websites. that actually is probably my biggest issue when it comes to following fashion bloggers… i find these outfits and get a small obsession with them, and then i go to the websites of the stores where they were purchased and watch the items like a hawk. basically sit there and wait for them to go sale. so if any of you want to be like me (which i don’t recommend), check out some of these bloggers!

new york fashion week

6a00d83451595d69e20120a6fe7499970b-800wiwithin some of my wildest hopes and dreams is my desire to one day attend a show at new york fashion week… while looking at photos of different shows is great, and it may cause uncontrollable envy and serious clothing lust, being at a show is still something i would love to experience. since i’m in college in a place that doesn’t happen to be in new york and since i don’t have any invites, it’s not like i even have an option to attend. but STILL, a girl can dream.

instead of doing school work i spent a good amount of time stalking some of my favorite designers and seeing which had looks i can’t seem to forget. i easily could have included way too many pictures, and things could have gotten out of hand, but i decided to narrow it down to a few shows: rebecca minkoff, mara hoffman, and j.crew. hope you all become just as obsessed as i am! (but really)

rebecca minkoff:

LUX_6910.450x675

if i could do that emoji with the heart eyes i would… because this combination is everything.

LUX_7159.450x675 LUX_6927.450x675 LUX_7033.450x675

j. crew:

Jcrew_004_1366.450x675 Jcrew_011_1366.450x675 Jcrew_016_1366.450x675Jcrew_021_1366.450x675

and last, but not least, mara hoffman:

obsessed.

obsessed.

i will find a way to somehow get this dress (or at least i'll try)

for my internship i’ve been sticking to the same uniform: black skinny jeans, a nice shirt (or t-shirt if i know i’m going to get dirty), and ballet flats. luckily i love wearing all three of these things, so it’s been working out, but every once in a while i love dressing up. i’m not really feeling the possibility of ruining my clothes, so i tend to do that thing where i vicariously live through bloggers/plan out regular outfits for the weekend when it is totally unnecessary. for example, i am seeing the lumineers in a few weeks and i couldn’t be more excited… so like the insane person that i am, i’ve been planning out outfits in my head repeatedly. at this point, i’m up to outfit number three, but i know i won’t be settling for anything soon. at least i’m honest with myself..

as many of you guys know i am more than obsessed with stripes… it’s really bad. i see them, in any form, and try to convince myself its necessary to get them. it’s a habit i’m breaking, but a habit nonetheless. anyways, the majority of bloggers i follow tend to rock stripes in so many different ways. the upside about this is that i can dream up different outfits with pieces i already have thanks to these blogs. the downside is that i may see them wearing something that i could define as life-changing (me being dramatic) and favorite it, watch it obsessively, hoping it goes on sale, ultimately falling into an endless cycle.

elliott3a few months ago i wrote about one of my favorite bloggers, sincerely, jules, and how much i wish i could look as stylish as her a in sweatshirt. if i could pull of a sweatshirt like she does i would do it all the time.. (currently working on this since i just look like a mess). anyways, i decided to start a series where i’d feature some of my favorite outfits from some of my favorite bloggers. even though i’ve already done a post on jules before, i had to do an updated one. as i mentioned before the only way i can think of to describe her is simply that she is the shit. pardon me, but it’s true. her style is the definition of california cool, and if anyone could push me to wear a pair of high tops with a dress or heels during the day, it’s jules. i love how i talk as if i know her, even though i clearly don’t, but she is one of those bloggers you want to know. i could totally see us hanging out at the beach or browsing the shelves at zara, but that sounds so creepy so i’m going to stop. all in all she seems like a fashion buddy/a friend you’d want at your side, so i’m more than happy to kick off this series with her.  bcnbraid2memorylane7 newstuff surfbarcelona8 nordstromsavvy10 memorylane6

tumblr_mn3xq7e8eJ1qim02bo1_500i have a confession to make… i’ve hopped onto the pinterest bandwagon. when i say i fought this for about a year, i’m not kidding. i even made an account and then refused to use it, but it was for a good reason. i knew i’d become addicted, and i was right. knowing me i couldn’t just have any names for my boards, so when i tell you that i spent a good time brainstorming some “witty names” (that aren’t all that witty) i’m not exaggerating. pinterest has become a process, but it’s a process i love. planning for next year’s dorm decorations has already begun, and i have been working on my summer loving board like no tomorrow. if i’ve been off of my computer for a while i will sit and scroll back until i find my last pin, and start looking at other pins from there. i’d say i wasn’t addicted, but that’s a lie… (seeing that i have every possible form of it downloaded: phone, iPad, etc.) i’m still on the hunt for other pinners to follow, which gives me just another excuse to keep on pinning… or this whole post may be a cry for help in stopping this obsession (but not really).tumblr_mgr2r6uyZY1rd9ycko1_5002c75bdabf838a26131966fa0e3d01caftumblr_mkjnjxBt8S1r7304ko1_500d1fab949e1c57019844edd9e3f234655

Screen Shot 2013-06-08 at 2.05.33 AMsincerely, jules // nars heat wave // pamela love bear ring // lena shimmer ring // lena shimmer double bar ring //  steve madden snakeskin wedges // rag & bone booties (so expensive, so i’d try to find a dupe) // nars cruising // haute hippie texas look // ray ban aviators 

i am a huge fan of the graphic shirt. for me they’re up there with stripes, and although i don’t have nearly as many as i do stripes, i still treasure them. graphic shirts may not be your thing, and you could be looking at this and thinking, “why?”. but if there’s a part of you that wants to try them, please go for it! they are so easy to wear casually, or dress up. i love to do both… for example, one of my favorite shirts looks great with a pair of leggings and cream colored lo-top converse, but it looks just as good tucked into a tan leather skirt with a pair of flats.

lust list neutrals

the coolest east coast poster // vampire weekend’s new album // some snakeskin stunners // necklace of my dreams // new york inspired phone case // pretty rad matchbooks // lustworthy tortoiseshell sunnies // comfiest looking pillow ever // perfect everyday bag for the girls who don’t like to carry bags // THE SHOES // ideal bracelet for leos (aka me)

i’ve mentioned this before, but i have this bookmark folder that happens to be the bane of my existence. yes, this is dramatic, but it isn’t healthy. this folder is called the lust list, items which i want really badly, but will hold out on until they go on sale (meaning i most likely won’t get them). the tricky part is that more often than not these items sell out, and i’m left with non-buyer’s remorse. i’ll also delete items from this list, but they’re still in my memory (and my shopping cart), so they’re never truly gone. there is one item, the ragini sandals, that i check up on multiple times during the day, since there is only one shoe left in my size in stock. yes, i’m still waiting it out, hoping that this site will notice these last two sizes aren’t selling and mark it down. not to mention i have an insane amount of outfits planned out around these shoes, but i still haven’t gotten them. knowing my luck these shoes will be gone once i do this post….
