SEQUINS!

I absolutely adore sequins. If I could wear them everyday, I totally would! Maybe if I moved to L.A. it would be slightly more appropriate...hmmm. Interesting thought. Anyways, sequins CAN be worn during the day in teaspoonfuls, and of course at night in cupfuls!!!

This Matthew Williamson dress is so incredibly gorgeous!! The dip-dye effect is utterly cool and slightly hippie, which is def my style. But it also enable this dress to be styled in completely different ways. It can go the boho route by adding some earthly sandals and leather cuffs, or it can go rocker glam by adding edgy booties and maybe some chain-like accessories. The colors of the dress are in perfect sync with the arrival of Fall.
I know, I know, another dress, but I just can't resist!! Paul & Joe created the epitome of a sequin dress. Classic gold (and silver? maybe it's just the light?) makes this the ultimate New Year's Eve party ensemble or....just a great stand-out for a fancy event. Adding a thick belt would give the dress a little more definition and a little break from the shininess.
To continue my love for Rachel Zoe and all she wears....here she has on a great sequin jacket. Black sequins are slightly more subtle but give off just enough flash. I need a jacket like this NOW! Obivously she knows how to style it perfectly by keeping everything else simple and has great juxtaposition with her flowy top.

Wish List

The other day I went on a little shopping excursion with my roommates. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, yet I found SOOO many cute things! I suppose that's usually how it happens...you go in looking for nothing and find everything...and when you go in looking for everything you find nothing!! Since I do not have a disposable income and probably should be saving more money to pay for a little thing called college tuition, I could not buy all that I wanted. So I decided to post the things that are next on my wish list...

A'Gaci just opened in Chi-town and I was very pleasantly surprised with its selection! Some pieces were a little too teen and others were a little on the skank side, but I did go into the fitting room with six pieces...which is a lot for me. The first thing I want to get from there next time is this brown belted bomber jacket. I thought the jacket in black looked a little cheap looking, but this brown one looks perfectly distressed and not too fake. AND it will go with everything...casual with jeans or edgy with a cute dress.
I don't know if I've been watching too much Rachel Zoe Project or what, but I'm obsessed with fur right now. Now, I'm not as crazy fur-licious as Rach (yeah...I'm gonna call her Rach) but I think I could rock a fur vest. And this looks exactly like what I've been envisioning...thank you WhoWhatWear for bringing this to my attention! Even better it's from H&M!!! And the little tie belt gives a little shape to the furry-ness.

The next purchase I NEED to make is a pair of black heeled boots. The more I look around for a pair that has the right type of heel and the right height boot shaft, the more I keep coming back to this pair from J.Crew. I believe I have already posted this pair, but I will do it again because my love for them is that great!
I know there is more...so to be continued...
