Monday's Most Wanted

The top five things I've convinced myself I just canNOT live without this week.

     1. Mansur Gavriel Bucket Tote in Black with Flamma

          This up and coming brand has recently be featured by Elle, Zoe Report, Who What Wear, and NET-A-PORTER, and it's easy to see why.  Just take a peek at their website!

     2. Black Orchid Lipstick by Tom Ford

           Perfect color for Fall!  Now if only it weren't cray cray expensive.

     3. T3 Single Pass Flatiron

          After 5 years of faithful service, my T3 finally gave out (which is pretty remarkable given how many times I dropped it onto every type of counter and floor imaginable).  And this item I seriously cannot live without--so I ordered a new one!  It's even in an absolutely adorable limited edition lace print.  AND it was on sale on Gilt.  The universe totally has my back. :)

     4. Tanda Clear Plus

          According to an article on XOVain, which I read kind of religiously, a tool very similar to this is basically a modern day miracle.  For half the price and similar ratings, I think I just might have to snag it!

     5. Silk Black Jumpsuit

          Part of me feels like jumpsuits are for children and convicts, but recent red carpet sightings by the likes of Diane Kruger make them seem a WHOLE lot more legit.  I'm thinking played-up makeup and black heels...

Fall Fixation: Black & Gold

Fall has finally arrived!  Time to sift through my closet and plan for the season.  This year, I'm enamored with the black and gold.  It's so versatile, and so classic.  

I'm particularly fixated on footwear.  I'm craving a pair of black patent leather ballet pumps with a gold 1-1.5" heel.  I know, not specific at all, right?  Well, I've searched high and low, but I still haven't been able to find the perfect pair!  The closest I've been able to come thus far is the Delphine by Gucci.  Sadly, they're suede and have a slightly open toe.  Not to mention being over $400 on sale.

I spotted a few other super cute pairs too, but they're still not exactly what I'm looking for...

Tabaret by Sigerson Morrison

Pointed Studded Ballerina by Zara

Ballerina by Dior

Amy Pump by Tory Burch

Bonnie by Diane Von Furstenberg

For now, my quest continues, but I'm just not sure how much longer I can hold out!  Maybe one of these lovely runner ups will end up gracing my shoe tower....
