state of the union 1

what i’m eating | guys, shake shack came out with a chicken sandwich and let me tell you, it looks unreal. yes, i have yet to try it, but it’s something straight out of my food fantasies. as of now it’s only at their brooklyn locations, so i will without a doubt be making my way over there. there’s nothing like their burger, and i’m loyal to it, but when a chicken sandwich looks like that it’s time to try something different.

what i’m wearing | i received this snake cuff bracelet from baublebar for my birthday from a friend and i absolutely love it. i usually don’t wear jewelry other than my rings and my earrings, but i’m all about dainty bracelets. i used to wear an evil eye bracelet every day, but after it broke i’ve been in the market for a new one. i happened to find one earlier in the day (thin gold chain with an evil eye in the middle) and have been wearing both bracelets since. i’ve also started to revisit some of my favorite dusty roses/nudes, like exposed from tarte. it’s a great formula, has a minty, refreshing scent, and looks great on.

what i’m reading | right now i am in the midst of decorating my place and let me tell you, it involves books and lots of them. i’m a huge fan of coffee table books, but i like to mix them up. while some of them may be more fashion-focused, i also have a few historical selections and one or two on the kennedys, elvis, cookbooks, you name it. american beauty is one of my favorites, so i’m excited to finally get everything all set up.

what i’m lusting after | there’s not much too say other than the fact that i think these schutz shoes are gorgeous. i’ve been eyeing them for a while, and recently saw ayesha curry rocking them and i’m more obsessed than ever.

what i’m listening to | if you need a new musician to listen to and appreciate music that you can’t get out of your head, then erik hassle is the choice for you.

what i’m decorating with | as you may know, i love elvis. i wanted to find a way to incorporate my love for the king into my new place without it being too much or weird. well, luckily enough i was out for dinner the other night and saw a reprint of andy warhol’s double elvis hanging in a white frame at the restaurant. it looked amazing and inspired me to do the same for my own bedroom. i ordered the print from art.com, so hopefully it won’t be too aggressive (it won’t be)… we’ll see how it turns it out.

rebecca minkoff jules satchel | ray ban aviators | dogeared pouch | sam edelman yates heels | heritage cookbook | heartloom zuma romper 

tomorrow i’ll be heading to san francisco (pictures to come!), but before i left i wanted to put up a quick post. i can vouch for the romper on the bottom when i say it’s one of the best purchases i’ve made. i’ve already worn it more than i should, and i’ve had it for a few weeks. if you happen to be a foodie, heritage is for you; it’s one of my favorite cookbooks thanks to its colorful imagery and delicious recipes. in terms of clothing and accessories, the shoes are a bit wild but that’s what makes them fun. aviators are a classic and i’ll always have them on (maybe black ones in the future), but for now i’ll be sticking with my gold/dark gray-green pair that everyone seems to have. lastly, rebecca minkoff may have created the perfect work bag (and dogeared’s pouch would fit nicely with it).

the lust list classics

 

anything and everything inslee // the coolest speaker i have ever seen // hand towels that get a little wild // the perfect everyday bag // the ultimate red lipstick // these booties are the definition of lustworthy // i’m not usually a pearl earring kind of girl, but i love these 

there’s obviously a theme here… a little bit of classic red, sleek black, pearls, and some basics. this year i have worn a lot more black clothing than i used to. there’s something so easy about throwing on a black leather skirt and top or even a black dress. it looks like you’re put together, even though i might have just rolled out of bed. add in a red lip, and you’re good to go. from the title of my blog you may be able to tell i have a thing for lipstick, and that’s an understatement. i love lip color, whether it’s plum or nude, and i especially love bite’s products. they make insanely pretty lip colors and they smell amazingly good. lisi lerch’s earrings are a dupe for oscar de la renta’s tassel earrings, and won’t destroy your wallet. also they’re not heavy, even though they look otherwise. if you want a unique speaker that sounds UNBELIEVABLY GOOD, restoration hardware has you covered. seriously. i went into the store, plugged in my phone, and sat there listening to “all i want” by kodaline for a good amount of time (not dramatic at all). plus, it’s completely natural… no electricity needed. finally, i will continue to dream about those shoes and that bag, and one day when i have my own place i will be getting those hand towels.

black and gold

there’s an obvious theme here… clearly i’m feeling the whole black and gold combination. so on this glorious wednesday morning, these happen to be a few of the things that i’m loving.

this watch is the perfect mix of masculine and feminine elements // i’m not a big fan of bags (only because i never carry them) but i love this one // i snatched these earrings at j.crew on sale, so that may or may not have made my day // i SWEAR by this mascara… it’s lifechanging (and yeah that might be dramatic, but it’s true) // my go-to shoes for day, work, and night, plus both colors are great and they’re on sale almost everywhere // this ring is what i’ve been looking for my whole life without even realizing it

the lust list - summer

these sunglasses are the perfect combination: tortoiseshell and mirrored lenses // this necklace is straight out of my dreams // these sandals are perfect the summer and look like they’ll match anything // this romper is straight fire (sorry had to say that) // these earrings are absolutely stunning // this bag seems like the perfect size and the chain is adjustable which is more than a plus

FINALLY… finally it feels like summer is here. the amount of school work i’ve had recently has been insane so my free time to do blog posts has basically been non-existent. but now that summer is right around the corner i’ll be sure to give this site the love it needs. to kick off my posting once again i put together a few things i have been hardcore lusting after. multiple outfits have been dreamed around each of these items, but knowing me i’ll wait until the last minute and end up not getting anything, which is the best option for my wallet… except i don’t think i can resist those horn earrings or that necklace, or anything…

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.

 one // two // three // four // five // six // seven // eight

this friday i will not be participating in black friday due to an out-of-nowhere surgery because of a wisdom tooth gone awry. instead i’ll have to wait until cyber monday, and hopefully make some purchases then..  if any of those items end up going on sale, i’ll snatch them up in a second. or i may be on too many painkillers and end up missing the whole thing. two thumbs up for modern medicine!

crime and punishment

clothes, fashion, glitter, holiday, madewell, pumps

the title of this post is probably the closest representation of my relationship with fashion. my love for clothes and my “obsessive tendency” of checking up on my favorite brands and fashion blogs could be considered a crime (in the terms of stalking/possible restraining orders against me from websites, which if they existed i would have)… the punishment is even worse: new arrivals or holiday collections. it doesn’t sound like a punishment, but it is. if i could (and i would) i’d spend ALL my money on clothes, but at least i have a bit of restraint, and i’ve gotten much better about impulse buying. my biggest tip is favoriting things you love and waiting to see how long you think about them… if you forget about them delete it from your bookmarks, if not get it or wait for a sale. now before i get off topic again, let’s talk about madewell’s newest arrivals. literal perfection. the combination of color, warm and cozy textures, plaid and printed patterns, comfy accessories, and most of all, glitter, has me freaking out. the following outfits are so lust-worthy and definitely have a pieces i may have already splurged on… (sorry that the trapper hat looks like the most amazing thing ever)

color code: black and blue

so i know the words black and blue evoke the grossness that are bruises, but if you get past that imagery, it’s actually quite a nice color combination. even though they’re both dark tones, they are complementary and can make an outfit. obsession could probably define my relationship with those tech cases, and i can not wait until i can get them before i head off to school!
