2023 Wishlist

When it comes to shopping I've historically taken the "more is more" approach and this year I'm shifting over to a "less is more" mentality and being extra intentional about any purchases. During 2020 and most of 2021 I did next to no shopping and then I moved to Florida, where I blew my budget for a year. While I'm not doing an outright ban on shopping, I'd rather buy one really nice thing I've wanted for a long time than numerous small purchases for the same amount. That being said, I'm still very much on a budget, but below are a few things I would splurge on this year if I had the budget for it all. Most of them I've been dreaming of for years, and some a bit more recent but all are splurge worthy in my eyes. 

Molly Moorkamp Morning Glory Dress 

Byredo Vanille Antique Perfume

Tiffany Knot Earrings 

Aquazzura Shoes

Olivia Von Halle Silk PJs

Adding to cart,

Fall Wishlist

I'm gearing up for a move later this fall, so I'm trying to save money where I can. Sadly this means no shopping BUT that doesn't mean I can't window shop! I've been browsing a lot recently and as a result I have a wishlist a mile long. (Ok, fine - I'll take now to admit I did a little bit of shopping in PB, as noted on instagram) Once I get a better handle on what I need and want for my new apt I'm sure I'll be able to treat myself, but in the meantime I'll just keep admiring. Below are a few highlights:

Christian Louboutin Heels

Massimo Dutti Jumpsuit

ASHA Chandelier Earrings

STYLESTALKER dress

J. Crew Lucie Bow pumps

As you can see I'im in a black and white + floral mood this year. And how cute would some of these be for holiday parties?

(potential gold gala dress!)


Kate Schelter Original Watercolor



GreenPan Padova Ceramic Nonstick Cookware
(even 5 years ago I never would have thought cookware would be on a birthday list)

(obviously want these in every color)

TGIF (finally!)

Shopping List: Boden

Is anyone else loving Boden's collection this season? I've been working on updating my Spring/Summer wardrobe and think I'll have to  add a few of these onto my shopping list. I'm loving all the stripes and gingham featured!

March Wish List

Ever since returning from my trip to Palm Beach I've been in "Spring Shopping" mode. First on the list are these amazing shoes by Charlotte Olympia. I mean, who doesn't love a new pair of new shoes, especially when they are as fun as these?

So I'm obviously not going to get the Balmain version of this cuff, but hopefully I can find something similar because it's so fun and would go with a bunch of different outfits.

I love love love Liberty of London, so I'm obviously going to love any dress that is done in that fabric. I'm loving the fuller skirts Mrs. Pomeranz does, so this one is the ideal.

Tory Burch'S Rodeo Drive Collection

Although Summer isn't in the near future, a girl can dream of it. While I usually embrace my day dreamer tendencies, this time around I'm going to be more of a doer. I just started plotting my warm weather getaway and the necessary wardrobe add-ons. I'm usually not a huge Tory Burch fan, but the Rodeo Drive Collection has be taking a second look. These are a few of my faves:

February Lust List

I'm forever looking for fun new details for the apartment and am obsessed with these lucite bamboo chairs. I totally see them in the kitchen.

I love pearls, especially when they are Gatsby themed pearls, so how could I not want to add this necklace from Tiffany to my collection!?

This bills planner is a must have, because who doesn't need a bit more organization in his or her life, especially when it comes to bills?

Outfit Inspiration: All Year Round

I used to work in fashion, and recently I've been thinking it's time to get back into it. For awhile I felt I hit a wardrobe road bock, and something about this year has me more inspired than ever to update and play around with my style.

Maybe I was inspired by all the tartan and tweed I saw in the UK...

Or these dreamy (yet wearable) ballerina inspired outfits?

But then again, I've always been a Barbie girl, so this outfit is just screaming my name!

However, helloooooo leopard skirt, you need to be in my closet, like now. 

I'm all over the map (which is never attractive) and it's fall so I guess I'll stick to my uniform of black pants + fun flats or sneakers and refine my style at a later date. 

November Lust List

While I've been focussing on decorating my apartment, it's ok to pick up a few details and treats for myself. This is what's on my list this month:

1. UMM hello tortoise headphones!

2. Love having bows on my toes and these are fantastic.

3. It's pretty much a guarantee that a book is going to be on every month's list and this one looks perfect for inspiration for my apartment spruce up! 

October Lust List

Me being me, my list of things I want is a mile long, this is a (very) well curated list of what I'm looking to get this month.

Hot Rollers - I've heard nothing but good things about them, so I just think I need to bite the bullet and finally get a set.

I'm the only one of my friends experimenting with the crop trop trend, but that's ok - I'm playing around with it and having lots of fun. This Zara top might be a good addition to my growing collection.

What would a list be without a pair of shoes? I totally need a green pair of suede shoes - very practical.

July Lust List

I saw this in France and thought they were hilarious at the time. I still do and just might buy for the giggles I'll get alone.

I'm obsessing over these Elsa Peretti starfish earrings. SO cute!

Love anything with bows on the toes...especially shoes. 

Nike X Liberty

In case you didn't know, I'm obsessed with Liberty of London prints. Like Lilly, Liberty has been a constant in my life pretty much since birth. Needless to say, the NIKEiD Liberty Collection made me pause. 

Maybe I'll be more inclined to go to the gym if I have these!

June Lust List

It's my birthday month so while I could make this list super long, I'll just put up a few highlights:

What do you get when you combine Marie Antoinette and pretty illustrations? My new fave grocery store shopping bag.

This French carafe set reminds me of all my time spent in Parisian cafes and is perfect for entertaining!

I think I'm probably the last person to blog about this coffee table book, but I've always been one to buck the trend. I want this, because who doesn't love Kate Spade.

I also want a cronut - anyone want to wait on line for me?
