100th post! with things im currently lovin...

Dolce Vita Drape Collar Coat from Urban Outfitters for $199. I love the dramatic collar! It's so beautifully constructed and I truly wish that UO would hurry up and markdown the price even more. Sigh. As if I dont have enough coats to last me 3 winters already!

Solid silk Elizabeth halter from J. Crew for $88.00 (also comes in white, yellow and black). omgod im really digging the wonderful necklines that have been popping up in jcrew dresses and tops!!!

Dotted Chiffon blouse from Forever 21 $19.50. This fun and flirty blouse screams feminine to me and i love the detailing!

I started buying ruffled shirts last christmas when I scored a bulk of them for el-cheapo and now it's been wonderful to see them in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and fabrics.

Talie Women's Cap Sleeve Belted Sweater Jacket from Overstock.com for $35.99! Don't these look soooo wonderfully comfortable? I'm love the grey and black (as most of my wardrobe consists of greys and blacks hehe...) the yellow is such a pretty color as well but unfortunately it looks pretty dreadful on me! I bought one blouse in that color and for the life of me it's looked awful everytime I've tried to wear it, so pass. :)

Off Post: Shopping List

last night headed over to Zara at georgetown really quick to try on some basic pairs of black pants. Their super basic one at a size 34 fit fine, but was probably too form fitting for the work place. another pair was great, loose enough to be roomy but fit the bum area really well, unfortunately they didnt have any in black (will be back soon, oh yes...)

at any given point in time im always wanting things, here's my current list


black work pants - i realized that i only have 1 pair of black pants that fit well and that I can wear to work! hence i need another pair

rain boots - i've been debating what sort of rain boot to buy!!! while the dream pair would be the nova checks from burberry, ive got to be more practical and will probably purchase them from target. they have a whole bunch of really cute patterns and for $19.99 it's such a deal! i can't decide whether to buy just a plain black matte (that will probably will be more timeless) or a fun colorful pattern, or even the houndstooth pattern in b/w!!!! oh decisions decisions...

incidently it was storming again last night and apparently is supposed to flurry from fri-sat (oh joy...)

short sleeved and sleeveless sweaters - for layering pieces. i love these v-necked sleeveless ones from Esprit for about $35, and i want them in all colors!!! ideally i want crew neck sleeveless as well as crew neck short sleeved (think ala sara jessica parker in that one episode of sex and the city where she is wearing a perriwinkle beret and she has come to the russian's apartment!)

sturdy messenger bag - as indicated in a previous post...leaning terribly towards timbuk2.

hope in a jar - im running out, must replenish!

tarte cheek stains - ack they are wonderful...

black boots - i realized i dont have a pair of tall, heeled black boots! i've got a pair dark brown, whiskey, and rose colored ones but no black...
