As usual, there are many, many things that I’m dying to buy for this new year. So here’s a peek at just some of the items that I’ve been wanting to have. Of course I won’t be able to get every item on my list, but a girl can dream right?

Elizabeth and James zip hoodie dress, $295
I love this dress mainly because of the zippers. The hoodie also adds a unique touch making it your not so regular LBD. Of course it doesn’t surprise me that I’m drooling over this item because I adore the label.

Monrow roll v neck tee, $122
What can I say, I’m a sucker when it comes to t-shirts, still. I think a part of me will always love that t-shirt and jeans look, probably because it’s so comfy and so easy to pull off. Now I know this t-shirt is ridiculously over priced, but I love the metallic tiger stripes!

Alexander Wang zipper clutch, on sale $195
That’s right, another item with zippers! This leather clutch is simple and I like the fact that it is a foldover clutch, which only makes it more interesting.

Dolce Vita baxter ankle boot, $195
I have been on a mission for lace up boots for a few months already, and I believe that this pair definitely is my ideal lace up flat boot. If I can’t get these, then hopefully I can find something similar.

Elizabeth and James laurent shirt, $225
Here’s another Elizabeth and James item, an over sized button up shirt that looks like it could belong to your boyfriend. I love over sized shirts, I say the looser the better!

Dior Vernis – Nude Chic, $19
I’m really loving this nude colored nail polish. Don’t get me wrong, I still love my red colored nails, but sometimes you just want something simple and clean, and that’s what the color nude is all about.

Pyramid Facet Ring, $3.80
You can never have too many rings, at least I can’t! What attracts me to this ring is not just the price (thank you Forever 21), but I love the jagged sharp points on the ring. Plus it’s gold, a flashy gold, so your hands will most likely stand out.

BDG pleated knit pull on skirt, $38
This skirt is super cute, love the pleats in it. Not only does it come in this purple color, which is one of my favorites, but it comes in black as well (another favorite color).

Janet Jackson was photographed wearing Christian Louboutin lace up boots for an article featured in Prestige Magazine.

During the 2008 RTW (Ready to Wear) fashion shows, Lace up boots were seen all over the runways. Lace up boots have also become an instant hit with Celebrities this year. This season offers a variety of colors and styles, from ankle to knee length boots and peep toe ankle booties.

Boots are a universal accessory that can be worn with leggings, skirts, dresses, shorts or skinny jeans.  I would rock all the outfits below:

What makes an outfit just right? Nowadays it’s all about what bag you’re carrying around, or what sunglasses you have on, but there’s still that one element that can make or break your outfit, and its shoes. With fall right around the corner, there are so many shoes to choose from. Here are a few that I’m lusting after…

Dolce Vita $188

Loeffler Randall $425

Jeffrey Campbell $125

Frye $428

Oh, I know you’re out there. You love the gladiator sandal and wear it everywhere and bemoan the fact they fall in and out of style. I am not a convert. However, I believe I’ve found a happy medium for those who think like me. I spotted these online at www.shopdolcevita.com and thought, hmmm, I could go with that. Check out the major sale. The pluses? No major multi straps and because it doesn’t wrap all the way up the leg and sticks to the ankle, you won’t have to worry about weird tan lines. And I’m loving the bright blue.
