Wednesday Wish List 9.2

Quilted Jacket It's almost fall which means it's time to break out the moto jackets! Love the green color on this one. I have a hard time finding the right fit for moto jackets. Nothing is worse than ordering online and finding out the jacket is too tight in the arms or too big everywhere else. Does anyone know how Zara's jackets fit? Big? Small? // Can't stop swooning over these Bonny boots. Can you say perfect fall boot? I'm hunting for a similar, more affordable pair with the black and tan combo but am having no such luck. {Sigh} So far these are the closest I've found from Zara. Still cool but not quite as high swoon factor going on. I wear a size 9 if anyone's feeling generous today. Just kidding. But seriously. // Vegan Leather Clutch This week I was introduced to Mishqua, quite possibly the coolest lady and handbag collection ever. There isn't one item I don't want!  // Camo Pants These need to get in my closet now. I'd like to think I've been a fan of camo for a few years now (My boyfriend is a big hunter so that counts, right?) but my closet says otherwise. I'm loving all of this camo but please don't go for the head to toe look like the Robertson family on Duck Dynasty. No bueno. // Tray One can never have enough trays on the nightstand, desk, shelf, and bathroom vanity for displaying dainty jewelry and a collection of Fresh lip balms. 

I have a special place in my heart for all of those affected and the first responders of 9/11. Let's remember them and what each one did to help in such a time of need.

Wednesday Wish List 9.1

Ship in a Bottle Print I'm still looking for a few more prints for my gallery wall and instantly fell in love with this. Plus, it's only $10! // Double Finger Wood Ring Last night I discovered this crafty jewelry shop that uses almost all organic materials for their jewelry. Everything has a cool, natural feel using different kinds of wood, ceramics, and leather. // Fresh Brown Sugar Fragrance  Carroll and Lauren surprised me with a birthday present this past month and ever since I've been hooked on this sweet and unique scent that I need to stock up. // Skinny Jean This fall I'm digging dark green and camo. // Feline Tee Have you noticed all the different graphic tees popping up lately? This Celfie (get it?) tee is pretty clever inspired by the Céline craze, and WhoWhatWear's LOVE tee is cute but they sold out so quickly I didn't get my hands on one. I'm a cat lover so this tee is even more perfect.

What I Bought in August

Happy Labor Day! I had a blast with friends this weekend as college football kicked off another season. Go Cyclones! Unfortunately we didn't come away with a win but we still had fun celebrating. 

It's hard to believe summer has come and gone already. I'm back in school for my final year and fall is upon us. Whoa. August was good-- it's my birthday month and I went on a cool vacation to DC. My purchase history looks a bit sparse this month, but my new handy dandy camera is not pictured since I was using it to, uh...take pictures. It's a Canon T3i and 18 55 mm lens. We all knew how bad I needed to invest in a camera other than my iPhone. After lots of research and many recommendations I decided  to go with a Canon and ended finding a HUGE deal on it. Couldn't be more happy with my choice!

The palm print blouse from H&M was actually my only clothing purchase while on vacation. I've worn it several times the last few weeks just squeezing the last bit of wear out of it I can before fall. 

Pineapple tee from J.Crew found on sale. I couldn't pass up a cute tee like this.

Matchstick cords from J.Crew. So excited to break these out for fall with cute wedge booties and a sweater. 

Midi ring and earrings from Urban Outfitters. 

Wednesday Wish List 8.2

With this week Iowa heatwave and all the buzz on New York Fashion Week, I think I am finally ready for fall. Despite the fact that fall leads into winter....and that means 4 months of miserable cold weather and snow, fall is one of my favorite times. Especially for fashion. There is just something about cozy sweaters, corduroy, and boots.

Last week I attended the J.Crew Style Sessions (Shout out to the fabulous and ever so stylish Katelyn, Sam, and Kiley whom I met at the event!) promoting their new fall collection and fell in love with every piece. Not that that is unusual or anything -- it's actually seems to be a recurring thing! Chambray shirts, corduroy pants in every shade (I got the dark red), and boots on boots on boots. How's a girl supposed to choose?

I did some deep thinking and managed to limit my fall wish list to a few pieces...for this week anyway.

Classic Stripe Lace Up Who doesn't love a cute pair of tennies? // Printed Point Flat A super versatile flat and I love the pointy toe. // Printed Skinny Jeans I will admit these look a bit scary. Had it not been for Sally's fabulous outfit I would have never considered these. I have yet to purchase a pair of printed jeans but with this price, they are too good to pass up. // Baseball Cap I have been loving the sporty, relaxed look these days. Dressing for class and dressing for work call for 2 totally different wardrobes. For class I like to be comfortable yet stylish. A baseball cap means I can sleep in and extend my blowout one more day... // Madewell Henley Again, it's all about the easy pieces that still look great.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
