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….

“sea”quins and seashells

Two things I love about the summer: sequins and seashells. I’ve seen sequins pop up everywhere, especially J.Crew! Seashells are a part of my love for the beach, but I love a touch of them, either in a bracelet, necklace or printed across a gorgeous scarf. The mermaid trend was seen all throughout the SS ’12 runway shows, and I couldn’t be happier. These next few pieces would be a step in the way to achieving my own Ariel dream!

This ASOS pencil skirt to me is a mermaid tail come to life. Ever since I was little and would watch “The Little Mermaid” on repeat, I’d imagine being able to swim under the sea like Ariel. This skirt is the closest I think I could come to it! The array of peach, pearl and gold, the pattern the sequins make and the fit are all just stunning. I seriously hope to add this skirt to my wardrobe (summer job I’m counting on you!)

This scarf has the most amazing pattern, seahorses, shells, starfish, and on and on. I love the light blue mixed with gold and the affordable price. Thank you ASOS! I’d pair this as a belt around a white shirtdress with some fun gold wedges, or as a hair scarf with a white v-neck and some cuffed up boyfriend jeans.

There were only sixty of these skirts made for J.Crew Collection, and I have a feeling I won’t be getting one of them 🙂 A bit expensive, but the detail of the pattern, the blue sequins and the fact that the skirt is pull on (a plus!) makes for a fun, but elegant summer skirt. I’d pair it with a white button down knotted at the waistband, tan leather gladiators and a messy ponytail.

Simple, but still gorgeous I love this shell bracelet from Mirabelle, and it’s currently on sale at ASOS. The gold band itself is delicate and refined, but then there’s the shell which gives it a more outdoorsy feel.

This J.Crew skirt is definitely out of my price range, but that doesn’t mean I can’t love it! The combination of colors (sea and sand), the silhouette, and the sequins all put this skirt on my favorites list.

To me there’s nothing better than going to the beach on my days off. I worked from 10 to 6.45 at J.Crew and have set up camp on my couch and now refuse to get up! So while I sit on my couch and catch up on tv I decided to gather together my favorite beach items! Hopefully I’ll head out to the beach tomorrow.. Nothing like wishful thinking!

1. a hat to protect you from the sun  2. some great shades  3. a fun beach read  4. full coverage sunscreen  5. metallic thin strapped flip flops (reduces tan lines!)  6. lip balm with spf  7. a delicate necklace  8. moisturizing body lotion  9. a colorful beach towel   10. casual, but cute coverup   11. something to tame the mane  12.  my summer playlist  13. a spray to get those beachy waves

I’m a summer baby through and through. I would rather be on the beach, with my book and a half and half, or diving into the ocean, than anything else. So when summer rolls around I pull out some of favorites, such as my whole entire John Mayer collection (perfect to drive out to the beach to) or Bobbi Brown’s Beach collection. I literally used to wear Coppertone as perfume, because it smelled like summer THAT much to me. So you can imagine how much I love the whole Beach family if any of you are familiar with Bobbi Brown’s amazing line. I’m still in the process of rounding out my collection, but soon the oil and scrub will join the family! The smell is out of this world, and if you want sunshine, sunscreen, ocean spray, and memories bottled up (as cheesy as that sounds) these products are for you.

Why do I get the feeling that I’m planning a giveaway?…
