Wanting: Sneak Peek to Fall

 1. Reed Krakoff Leather Trimmed Sweater, $1190 2. Rag & Bone Durham Leather Boots, $525 3. Chloe Studded Leather Boots, $1,290 4. Diane Von Furstenberg Cassidy Leather-Sequined Skirt, $475 5. Chalayan Cutout Skirt, $480

It is the first day of summer but I'm thinking about fall thanks to all the new pieces that popped up on Net-A-Porter this morning. Nevermind that we are in the middle of a heatwave, I'm dreaming of asymetrical wool skirts, perfect grey boots, and leather trimmed cashmere.

Hopefully this autumn delirium won't last long, as I have a full summer spread out in front of me that I want to enjoy. Well, If I ever get this work crew out of my house. 

 

Wanting: Proenza Schouler PS1 Cobalt Suede Bag

Major bag lust going on right now. Proenza Schouler, $1,995

 

My Picks: J.Crew New Arrivals May

Cashmere Open Stitch Sweater in Seaside Aqua and Classic Mini in Double Serge Cotton in Spearmint I kinda want to wear these together.

I couldn't find these shorts for sale online, but I'm intrigued. 

Silky Pleated Pant in Navy and Vintage Cotton Cap Sleeve Tee in Blue Belvedere I just like this overall look. 

Audra Sandals I really wish they had made these in matte black and silver colors, but I'm crossing my fingers the pale gold works. I love a little criss cross around the ankle.

 

Marni Astral Blue Cardigan

 

I've been collecting clothing with grid patterns for the past year, so Marni's Fall 2012 collection is right up my alley. I'm still loving marled knit sweaters, and the checked blue overlay on this cardigan is just the icing on the cake. Marni.com, $760

Anthropologie Symbology

1. Sacaton Dinner Plate, $20 2. Symbology Coasters, $10 3. Symbology Trivet, $24 4. Pennant Inlaid Knob, $14

The cups I found at the estate sale remind me of Anthropologie's latest home collection. Geometric patterns are having a resurgence right now, and reaching saturation levels, but I really love this color palette. There are coasters to match the trivet, and they are high on my wish list.

 

Manolo Blahnik Satin & Grosgrain Mary Janes

I haven't wanted a pointy toe shoe in ages, but these Manolo Blahnik heels make my heart race. Saks, $830

Home Wishlist: Sparkling Wall Hangings

Native Line tapestry from Maryam Nassir Zadeh, $285

Mirror and wood hanging tapestry from Anthropologie, $4,800

We have two designated living spaces in our new house, one being more formal, while the other has a more relaxed 70's feeling. I want something like these tapestries to hang in that room, but it needs to be a little more budget friendly. 

I keep wanting to touch my computer screen when I look at the woven metallic tapestry. The shimmering brass, gold, and silver threads are gorgeous.

 

Wishlist: Sparkle and Shine

I'm in the mood for some sparkle, whether it be just a touch, as seen on Gucci's Pleated Silk Skirt and Topshop's Metallic Heel Sandals or full blown like Theory's gorgeous blue Sequin Dress and Miu Miu's Glitter Cat Eye Sunglasses. Oh, how I want those sunglasses.

 

Heart LR by Loeffler Randall

I've been packing and unpacking for the last week, but I wanted to pop in and wish everyone Happy Valentine's Day! 

Several years ago a certain boy asked a girl out for Valentine's Day but retracted the offer all in the same phone call. He tried again for a date three days later and the girl decided to give him a second chance. Good thing, as he turned out to be the man she was going to marry. So readers, if you think you have a knucklehead on your hands, it may turn out that they are just shy in matters of the heart;)

I'm over on Loeffler Randall's blog today sharing more of what I love for Valentine's Day along with NY Mag's Jenny Kang, Cup of Jo's Joanne Goddard, Lucky's Julia Kalachnikoff, and Glamour's Maria Duenas Jacobs. 

 

Loeffler Randall is celebrating the launch of their new Heart LR line. The collection consists of weekend perfect sandals and clogs, like the lace up Kaysa featured above. I can't decide if I love the black and wood contrast or the all nude better.

 

Florence Broadhurst for Kate Spade

 

I've long wanted a Florence Broadhurst print in my home after seeing her designs pop up in UK publications years ago. Now Kate Spade is making it possible for you to wear her designs as well. Her Spring 2012 campaign is saturated with the Japanese Floral pattern, one of my favorites.

While I couldn't live in a room completely covered in print, I would gladly take any of the wallpapers, bed linens, and drapes featured in the first image. And don't get me started on that headboard, which is covered in my latest color crush, coral pink.
