I haven’t posted in a while, I know. I haven’t been enticed by much. That all changed this past week with some new arrivals I spotted online. Now I am coveting much more than my budget can possibly accommodate at this point. Here’s a peek at what will probably be showing up on this blog very, very soon.
Anthropologie Diamond Flame Skirt – $168 – How stunning is this skirt?? I was immediately drawn to it when I received the new Anthro catalog. I would never think to pair it with an aqua tank, but I think it works really well (which means I will probably end up picking up this tank also). This skirt is already on backorder for every size, so I guess I’m not alone in absolutely drooling over this skirt, despite the insane price tag.
Anthropologie Blurred Boundaries Dress – $178 – This is a pretty insanely priced dress as well…but damn is it pretty. It’s so breezy it is the epitome of summer. It’s not like anything I would usually wear, but I strangely can’t stop stalking it online. Also on backorder in every size, so it looks like Anthro has a couple new hits on its hands.
J.Crew Watercolor Floral Pastiche Pencil Skirt – $110 – I know, I know, I still don’t think I can do pencil skirts, but I didn’t think it was possible to find a watercolor skirt with a print I love even more than the Sunshine skirt. I just can’t resist. No idea why it’s $12 more than the other similar pencil skirts, but who cares when the print is this adorable? I don’t know what it is, but it seems like I’m really into pretty prints lately…
J.Crew Max and Molly Tee – $29.50 – I’m a sucker for tees with quirky prints, as evidenced by my previous A&F purchases. This one is quite charming. I can imagine pairing it with full, A-line skirts for a casual, semi-dainty feminine look.
J.Crew Featherweight Cashmere Contrast Henley – $158 – Love henleys. Love little pops of neon. Just adorable. Since it’s featherweight, it won’t be too hot to wear in summer. I hope.
Abercrombie & Fitch Ainsley Skirt – $50 – Yeahhhhh….it does not look like my addiction to Abercrombie is ending any time soon. This skirt just popped up on the site and I’m in love. Yup, it’s the pretty printed skirt thing again. Plus I know first hand how comfortable their elastic waistband skirts are, without all the typical cons of other elastic waistband skirts (the squishing, the unflattering waistband, etc.). I’m a little weary of the length of the skirt, since it looks short, and A&F for some reason refuses to publish the skirt lengths. Also it looks like $50 is probably way overpriced for a skirt that looks like it’s just flimsy pieces of cotton attached to a waistband, but I have to tell myself I’m paying for the beautiful print.
Abercrombie & Fitch Abra Skirt – $50 – What a cute, bold print. I wasn’t initially attracted to it because my eyes were all over the Dawn skirt, but now I adore it. Paired with a solid tank, this skirt will really pop from blocks away.
Michael Kors Hamilton Chain Tote – $298 – Ok, I usually only post about clothes, but I am also a huge bag and shoe fanatic. All my bags are designer bags, but that’s only because they’ve been the only ones I’ve liked the styles of. Total coincidence, I swear. I have never even paid any attention to Michael Kors bags, but damn is this bag gorgeous. First of all, the Luggage color. How much classier and versatile can a color get? I love this color and tend to get shoes and belts in the same, so this is a no-brainer. Second, the shape – perfect size, ideal shape, can be carried on shoulder or hand-held, perfect for laptops, papers, folders….in short, perfect for work. Third, the gorgeous hardware on the chain. Shiny gold hardware. I love bags that work well with shiny gold hardware – it just adds that perfect touch of glamor. Some say it is too much of a Hermes Birkin look-a-like, but I think it doesn’t look that similar. Or maybe I just love it too much to care…
