The Shopperist: I Want It Now

Probably one of the most mundane, albeit most realistic things I’ve ever posted on Shopperist…

I desperately want these 1969 jeans from Gap. My short legs long for something fun on the inside of jean cuffs and some magical genius clothing designer has answered my call. Totally affordable and, to be quite honest, “back to school shopping” does in fact apply to first semester graduate students.

I just love Etsy so much. Literally, anything you want you can find there, handmade.

I always boast that I’m not a fan of anything nautical-themed, but I’ve been finding more and more that I guess…. I am? Anyway, this ring is adorable and I want it so badly!

I’m going to need the Alexander McQueen Cruise 2011 collection to find its way into my closet.

Specifically these two pieces.

My inability to walk gracefully in heels aside…

I need these pumps in my life.

Never had I imagined such gorgeous nude heels in my closet, but these by Jessica Simpson need to find their way in there.

As move in date with my partner in crime approaches (August 7th is so not far away!), I’ve been looking at more and more things to get to decorate!

Our second bedroom is going to be our computer room, and this precious little usb hub from Fred Flare would fit on my new desk, right next to my new iMac, so beautifully.

Once again, I’ve found something marvelous from ModCloth. And, once again, it’s sold out. That’s alright though because truthfully I don’t need another summer dress… I just want one.

Ok, so this is a bit of a cheating post because I already have a pair of these sandals.

But they are incredible and I want a million more pair.

Sanuk makes some of the most whimsical sandals (not shoes) and these are definitely awesome. They’re made out of the same material as a yoga mat, so it feels like you’re walking on air (or, I guess, a yoga mat). Either way, they’re insanely comfortable and feel amazing. The only problem I’ve found so far is that they do get your feet pretty warm, but that’s probably just your inner energy (any yoga-ers out there get me?).

Anyway, I got them at my local REI store for like $30, it looks like they’re selling to solids on the site for $26 and the Safari prints (of which I want both) for $32. Totally worth it. I want them all!

I will never stop loving ModCloth. Unless, of course, they continuously run out of the dresses I want in the sizes I want at the price I want to pay… before I get the chance to even know the item was created.

Alright, I was going to cop-out and post about these shoes today, but that would be cheating since it’s a given I want them (they may or may not be the exact shoes my mom and I got matching tattoos of. They probably are though).

But because I’m no cheater, I found something else to update with! Introducing items from Anthropologie’s new Passage to India collection. Cute, brightly colored clothing and accessories that make me feel like wearing them would put me right into “Darjeeling Limited.”

This necklace is frickin adorable and while I don’t usually wear statement pieces (because I never know how to pair them), I would consider getting this.

My partner in crime and I have officially started the apartment hunt and it has not been easy. I’m overly neurotic about almost everything and while he’s pretty go-with-the-flow, there are certain things I can just not sway his mind about.

One of the things helping to quell my anxiety and keep me excited, is the prospect and finally getting to decorate all over the place! And this coat rack is frickin CUTE and may be my first purchase for my our new apartment! I love the light blue and thankfully it will add some color to the living room (my mom, in all of her sweet intentions, is forcing upon us a white leather sofa. Uh…). Urban Outfitters has this + more bangin’ awesome apartment furnishings, but like always, they’ll cost ya. I will probably swallow my pride on this one though…

If someone wants to facilitate my starting a new project (which will inevitably be abandoned… or maybe not) I welcome them to get me this book!

The cover alone makes me long for the few summers I spent at my grandparents’ home in Sweden.

This little octopus cuff is so cute! I’m normally not a fan of gold jewelry, but this has an antiquated finish that makes it look vintage and so funky.

Adorable!

And look soon for a new layout on Shopperist created special for me by Jeff at welovejeff.com!

Spring has finally sprung *duh-dunk-kssshhh* and thus begins my never-ending quest for the perfect summer dress. This years search is exacerbated by my pending trip to Washington D.C. at the end of April. A day full of beautiful sunshine, gorgeous weather, museums, delicious Georgetown coffee shop food, walking + talking… all culminating to the show of the year with the lovely French boys of Phoenix! So, as I play this day over and over in my head, hoping it turns out as I wish, I am searching ever-so-hard for a summer dress to fit this perfect scene.

This Cockadoodle Dress from Anthropologie may just meet my standards. Oh gosh, how I long for the day to wear that with some adorable sunglasses and prance around in the warm weather…

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 12:27:55 -0500

Thanks to my friend Holly -who I’m sure shared with me this link so I would update- I have discovered this lovely little shop on Etsy. These earrings are so me, it’s unbelievable… and there’s a matching necklace as well. If I can’t motivate myself/find the time/ stop being lazy enough to actually get out and start photographing again, at least I can have some jewelry that says “hey! I love photography! And pictures! And figuring out apertures and shutter speeds!”

You can check out AnOriginalJewelry’s shop here (because, ps, there’s a whole lot more cute stuff where this came from)

Holy Spring-time, this dress is incredible. Betsey Johnson, found on ModCloth, and way out of my price range. I was contemplating swooping it up today, but at $300 it’s not exactly an impulse buy.

But damn, it is CUUUUTE!

An early Christmas gift to all who share the same passion for expensive, classic, and fashionable items as I: the new Sex and the City 2 teaser trailer. And as a true homage to a one, Ms. Carrie Bradshaw (aka Mrs. Big), a pair of fierce Manolo Mary Jane pumps. As if I could wish to own something so perfect…

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 08:20:00 -0500

I will admit it: I am a product of my yuppie surroundings and secretly love Lacoste. Not enough, I don’t think, to spend a ridiculous amount on a polo to wear with my collar popped in high school, but seeing pictures of my parents from the early eighties wearing Lacoste polos with THEIR collars popped make me feel nostalgic, even though I wasn’t born yet.

Anyway, these watches are really attractive, I just wish they had larger faces (as I am a TOTAL sucker for over-sized watch faces). I am particularly a fan of the one on the right, “Biarritz,” but could do with a little color also.

Alright: Christmas is exactly a week away and while my present has already been bought, I’m still at liberty to make a fantasy wish list.

Item One: this fucking fab Marc by Marc Jacobs bag. Admittedly, I am a MJ worshiper (as will prove evident, if it hasn’t already, by subsequent posts of other products showcased in the Nordy’s catalog), and this bag speaks to me in all the right ways. Oak Brown; oh my god I could die you’re so gorgeous (as is the Spinach, Moss, and Cranberry). So C. Cringle, give Mr. Jacobs a ring and pick one of these up for me. Thanks!
