what’s easier than shopping for yourself? i’ve learned, not much.  while my goal is to shop only for others this holiday season, i can’t help but find things i like along the way.  throughout the year, i tend to keep a running wish list so i can best plan and budget for items on my wish list or be inspired to find similar items are are more affordable.  it also prevents frivolous purchases of just so-so items that won’t stay in my closet very long because of quality and style. here’s my current wish list. i also have put together a list of gifts sure to please him. happy shopping!

winter wild

jacket <willow & clay>, top <j.crew>, skirt <diane von furstenberg>, boots <pour la victoire>, bag <antik batik>, tights <target>

it’s beginning to feel a lot like winter.  cold, windy and a bit miserable.  luckily, faux fur jackets are with us for another season.  i couldn’t live without my collection of wild faux furs (more to come in future posts).  these make my winter blues a little bit better and a little more wild.  they are a good reason for a cold winter.  for this look, i kept my hair swept up in a bun as the jacket provides just enough flounce.  since i’m a huge fan of high boots, these gray pair are perfect and offsets the other colors a bit.  even though flat, they still appear dressy.  my only hope is – no one reports a bigfoot sighting.

fall foliage

blazer <rachel rachel roy>, dress <moulinette soeurs>, headband <zara>, shoes <pink>, clutch <banana republic>, bracelets <variety>

this dress has transcended several years. and, every year in the fall i make an effort to wear this dress for a special occasion.  it’s perfect for a fall wedding or holiday party.  the gold detailing and cascading skirt is so romantic.  i thought this embellished headband would add some extra romance! while technically it’s still autumn (some days it feels more wintry), this dress has become part of my perfect fall attire.
