Tuesday Lust List

By Whitney

This fall is full of neutrals – except this time it’s not just black and tan but amazing blush tones and rich metallics that are making the cut.  September is always a tough time for shopping; you’re not quite ready for fall yet because it’s technically still summer so clothes never seem THAT cute to you.  I always think it’s a good thing because mental note what you want and once we are all in cold weather mode, buy it when it goes on sale!  Oh and WHOOPSIES if you got this to your emails yesterday!

Clockwise from top left:  Sam Edelman Belinda Boot – $175 // Krewe LGD Sunglasses – $235 // Tory Burch Anorak with Plaid Lining – $595 // JCrew Cable Crewneck Sweater (love the texture on this that comes in great fall colors) – $98 // Chloe Lauren Flats (my FAVORITE flats in an awesome fall metallic hue) – $475 // Splendid Chambray Shirtdress – $185 // JCrew Easy Short in Marble (I love how this print can pair well with a black silk top to go out or a chambray top during the day) – $50 // Joie Kulani Top (such a gorge white top to wear ALL year long) – $228 // Rag & Bone Dunaway Hat (inspired by my ever chic friend Anne who was rocking a hat the last time I saw her and I was envious of how cool she is) – $198 // Santi Beaded Minaudiere (this gorge line of clutches is already noted on my holiday gifts for my mom) -$195 // JCrew Cari Cami in Watercolor Floral – $98

Thursday Lust List

By Whitney

I sound like a broken record but every year around this time I struggle.  It’s warm but not hot, it’s cold sometimes and then it’s not.  Layers are obviously key.  However, what to buy during this season is even tougher.  You have weddings to go to, kids birthday parties to attend, beaches to visit (and beach bodies to work on)…I mean LIFE IS TOUGH.  So when my lust lists are even more random than usual, let’s blame the April/May transition.

Clockwise from top left:  Jimmy Choo Ivette Sandals (drool) – $775 // Alicia Bell Tie Tunic Dress (we have found the perfect cover up, people) – $198 // Roarke Dove Gray Scarf Necklace – $395 // Carrie Cami in Tropical Frond – $98 // Kate Spade Clam Shell Clutch – $298 //  Cece by Cynthia Steffe Eyelet Shirt Dress – $158 // Tropicana Madison Zip Pouch – $55 //JCrew Teardrop Stone Necklace – $102 // Topshop Crocheted Dress (LWD season here we come) – $130 // Henri Bendel Victoria Sunglasses – $125 // Krass & Ko Striped Shorts (are these not the cutest running shorts??) – $45 // BaubleBar Beaded Strands (in coral and in so many great colors) – $36

Lust List – Home Decor

Once I do actually make my move to my new apartment, I have been leaning towards a new look.  It’s been in the process this year (a few vases and trays here and there) but now that I’m moving to a place I’ll actually own I want it to look like an actual home.  Not just a home but the perfect one for me to come home to and to entertain!  Here are some things I’m thinking about…

Clockwise from top left:  Worlds Away Felix Side Table – $250 // Mariposa Seahorse opener (for my dream beachy bar cart) – $32 // Marika Bench (I can’t decide between this cobalt, aqua or a fun coral color!)  – $210  // Aqua Garden Stool – $225 // Aerin Shagreen Tray (shagreen is just so luxe) – $325 // Oversized Crisscross Mirror – $329 // Blakesley Indoor / Outdoor pillow – $44 // Faux Blue Coral – $67 // Scallop Border Placemat – $32 (each) // Vintage Faux Bamboo Dresser (if this were in white it would be a must in my bedroom!) – $2445 // Elephant Cachepot – $145 // Alegria Baline Otomi Pillow (this pillow.  so stunning) – $150 // Coral Picture Frame (I ordered this and it is GORGE) – $29 // Egg Table Lamp – $249

Tuesday’s Lust List

By Whitney

My lust list this week is a bit confused because I am confused.  Do I want winter cozy clothes?  Fall day looks?  Holiday sparkle?  Fun accessories?  I mean I just do NOT KNOW.  I want everything apparently so please excuse the hodge podge.   What I’m really lusting for is a replacement to my black wool winter coat (mine don’t fit so it’s a reasonable excuse) so stay tuned for options on that this week.
