even though wishlists kind of make me feel greedy i'm always making them, both mentally and in my wishlist folder (seriously). i don't necessarily buy everything on my lists...most are ridiculous things i could never afford, but i just can't help making them! these four items are things that have running through my mind and are a bit more practical than the other things that have been haunting my dreams lately (tom ford?! mulberry?! dangerous.)

in a recent post i was contemplating jc litas and didn't know which color to get...well, i think i made up my mind! these mint green suede ones jumped out at me and it was love at first sight. they may not be a 'classic' choice but mint green is my absolute favorite color and since i tend to stick to neutrals in my clothing choices, i feel like the mint would add an interesting element. and how perfect would they be for spring/summer?? right...i'm off to order them! :P

a few random musings...

i need these shoes in my life. they have that lolita-esque thing going on, which i'm way into. but at the same time they're pretty practical because we all know giant front platforms make otherwise ridiculous shoes feel almost comfortable. almost.

my heart seriously skipped a beat when i saw this lydia courteille ring for the first time. i think it's absolutely stunning and is everything i could ever ask for in a ring. unfortunately this little beauty will never belong to me...it's listed as 'price available upon request' which we all know are four of the scariest words in the english language. i did some research on the designer and found this other piece from the browns website...it costs more than my entire life, pretty much. wow.


and onto one of the weirder things i've seen this week..out of nowhere, i decided that i was interested in a black chainmail shirt. to be honest, i don't think i even really knew what that meant, so i googled it. one of the results was this:

click on the photo to see it in it's full medieval glory!!

THIS IS A REAL THING!!! i was equally parts disturbed and intrigued. apparently it's capable of withstanding small shark attacks. always a plus. and it's fully wearable, perfect for battle AND wrinkle free!! but unfortunately, another reviewer pointed out that it's greasy, so i think i'm gonna have to pass :(

until next time babes

dont be sad when the sun goes down

1. topshop lace peter pan shift dress
2. urban outfitters sheer blouse
3. elizabeth and james 'monroe' sunglasses
4. strawberry popsicles (millions of them!!)
5. ysl rouge volupté in 17 red muse
6. chloe sevigny for opening ceremony platform clogs


just a few simple little things i'm currently lusting for. it already feels like summer here in la! can't wait for school to be out and for the days to be long and (relatively) care free. i plan on spending the time catching up on sleep, listening to gorgeous music and feasting on monstrous amounts of ice cream and popsicles.

lately i've become fascinated with flesh-tone everything. i know this isn't a "new trend" or anything, but my wardrobe consists mainly of black, charcoal, navy and grey. colour is something that i never usually gravitate towards when it comes to my clothes, so all these nudes, beiges, pinks, etc. are very out of character for me. i've also been weirdly fascinated with "granny chic" which, again, is unlike what i typically go for. here's a few things i've been lusting over on the topshop website.




clockwise from top right: ring, silk dress, knit cardigan, boots, leather satchel, pattern tights

i'd wear all of this together, right now, if i could. i especially love the bag. i've been dying for a mulberry alexa, but as i've mentioned before...poor student! maybe this topshop version could do for now?

have a lovely rest of the week!
