Currently Coveting

We all have wish lists...the things you are currently coveting, but haven't bought for one reason or another. Here's what my current wish list looks like.

I recently bought this J Crew Open front sweater-blazer in navy (on sale), and I LOVE IT!

Now I'm waiting for it to go on sale again to justify the purchase in at least one other color...maybe both! If you are looking for a comfy but polished layering piece, this is it! 

Did you know that Baggu now has a gingham print?

baby Baggu $8

3D Zip Set $32

My friend and I saw a woman the other day wearing the most fabulous slip on sneakers. Being the shameless extrovert that I am, I walked across the restaurant and asked her where she got her shoes. They were a grey wool version of these Vince sneakers. I love this color too! 

Vince Verrell $195

I've had my eye on a new pair of black sunglasses. Unfortunately a few of the styles that I really like are only offered with polarized lenses, which I can't wear....they give me a headache. Here are a few of the styles I'm currently coveting! 

Smith Founder Slim 2

Smith Colette 

Wish List

I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but I've already started compiling my Christmas wish list. Really I don't need anything, but it's always fun to have a list anyway.

My friend has this sweater, and it's way better in person than in this photo.

Athleta Honeycomb Sweater $98

I would also really like to have the Athleta Aspire pant that I blogged about a few months ago (post here) in Navy. They've exceeded my expectations, and I've worn them even more than I anticipated. 

Athleta Aspire ankle pant $79

If you saw my recent post (here), then you know I'm currently coveting everything from Sézane, including these loafers. 

Michael Loafers $200

My practical self really wants this robot vacuum. I'm kind of a neat freak and get serious joy out of a clean house....the idea of a clean floor nearly all the time is just more than I can handle. 

Neato Botvac D80 Robot Vacuum for Pets and Allergies $449

Regan's Birthday Wish List

Katie and I have a birthday coming up, September 22nd to be exact. My husband laughs when I tell him I have a birthday wish list, but I do. I always have a "wish list", and my birthday provides the perfect opportunity to check a few things off!

Here's what my list currently looks like.

I've been wanting a pair of short rubber rain boots, and these are just what I have been looking for. I had my eyes on the short Hunter boots, but I think I like the style of these (and the price) much better., and I really like the color.

Sperry Top-Sider Starling boot $74.95

We all know I spend a lot of time in workout pants. My friend Katie has these pants, and I need them. 

Vimmia Compression Stirrup Legging $127

As a side note, the product description lists the benefits of compression fabric as: increased blood circulation and skin elasticity, reducing cellulite and signs of skin aging, improved blood flow and oxygenation to muscles and tissues during your workout, increased recovery speed after workout or exertion, less wasted energy, less cramping, and greater running/workout efficiency, and reduced vibration that occurs as a muscle is flexed or experiences impact.

As someone who has their Master's Degree in Exercise Physiology, may I take a moment to tell you that these are just pants, and there is no scientific evidence to prove that a pair of yoga pants can actually do all those things. I could go into detail, but I won't!

And then a few things on my list that I have already shared with you in previous posts....

School House Electric Basic Tumbler

Pendleton Beach Towels

We will be in Sun Valley next week and a trip to Consign Design is inevitable. Chances are I will find a birthday present there and this list will be good as gone! 

Currently Coveting

My Birthday is coming up in less than a week, and as always my wish list is packed full. Here are the things I am currently coveting for the big 33!

Clearly I have blue handbags on my mind...

Mark & Graham Everyday Leather Tote $199

Gigi New York Python Indigo Teddie Tote $295

KSLADEMADE Heather Crossbody $168

And a few things that are not handbags in the shade of blue...

Hunter Gloss Short in violet $130 

Sam Edelman Petty Bootie $130

Three JNYC Eloise Dot Pajamas $114

Let's be honest, I don't NEED anything. I have more than most people dream of, but it's always good to have a wish list. 

Currently Coveting

I love ASOS, and I nearly always have saved items just waiting to be added to my shopping cart! Here is a peek at what I am currently coveting! I'm hoping to transition at least one of these items from my shopping cart to my closet. I do have a birthday coming up...hint, hint!

This sweater is so me. Simple and with a pop of prep! Who doesn't love elbow patches? Especially striped ones.

Striped Sweater with Elbow Patches $37.13 

I blogged about this sweater a while back. I haven't yet purchased it, but I still love it!

Elbow Heart Patch Sweater $37.13 

This sweater isn't necessarily what I would first gravitate towards (see above stripes for my natural tendencies). That said, my lifestyle is casual, and sometimes I feel like I need to "sex" it up a bit. This could be the perfect way! I don't workout just to keep it all covered! And this sweater definitely shows the perfect amount of skin. I really love it, and I might need to have it!

Drape Back Sweater $50.63 

I have been looking for a jacket like this for a year and until now hadn't found the right one. This item probably has the highest probability of making it into my closet!

 Four Pocket Utility Jacket $70.88

And this top...It's fabulous. Enough said!

Color Block V Neck $54

My Christmas Wish List

My want list is ever growing, but here is what I am currently wishing for this Christmas.

Oliver Bonas Cashmere Blend Eyemask $24.19

A Nixon rose gold watch (I like both)

The Spur $300

The Camden $275

K.slademade Leather Crossbody $160

J Crew Printed Makeup Pouch $25

And lastly, I love this Inkwash Tie-Dye Shift from Anthroplogie!

It doesn't look so cute in this photo, but it looks fantastic on fellow blogger Mary of Happily Grey!

I'm really head over heels for this dress! But let's be honest...there is nothing I really need. I guess that is why it is called a "wish" list and not a "need" list! 

Friday Gift Guide - Katie's Wish List

Last Friday Regan gave us her Christmas wish list. This week, it's my turn. Dr. B Friends and family take note. Despite this being my wish list, hopefully it will inspire any last minute shopping you need to do. 8 shopping days left until Christmas Eve! To honor those days, here are 8 things (in no particular order), I lust for...I had to stop somewhere or this post could be pretty long. So let's get to it.

Wool capes are the thing of the season, and I've been looking for one that is different and makes a bit of a statement. This Pendleton Striped Blanket Cape does just that...and I'm a sucker for stripes...and it's on sale for $98.00!

I've always loved pointy flats, and the J-Crew Viv Flats in topiary are beyond. Enough said. (Size 10, thanks.)

My black wool coat was retired last year and needs to be replaced. I wouldn't protest this Burberry Funnel Neck wool coat as a replacement. Dr. B has a thing for Emma Watson and she's a Burberry spokesmodel...so this makes total sense in my mind.

Because you can never have too many pairs of sunnies, these Chelsea House of Harlows would be right at home on my face - in nude or black...I'm not picky. 

Earlier this year I met the girls from DANNIJO, and not only are they impressive, but their jewelry is AMAZEBALLS! And this Wiig cuff...come on, the bows...do I even need to explain to you why Santa needs to bring this to me (My Elf on the Shelf knows I've been good)?!

Stripes and dots. I love them. Commando Polka Dot tights are kind of like a party on your legs. Who wouldn't want that?

I love my arm party, and I'm always looking to add to it. This Giles and Brother Archer Bangle is simple and timeless.

And last, but not least, coming in at number 8, the Patagonia Women's Down Sweater Vest. I'm an Idaho girl at heart, and just like all clothes, you can never have too many down coats or vests! 

What's your favorite pick on my wish list?

Meredith's Wish List

Much of the inspiration behind by blog came from my friend, and fellow blogger, Meredith. Her blog Classy Young Things is one of my favorite daily reads. Meredith has incredible style, creativity, and a shared love for all things Chanel. Her love might actually be considered an obsession!

Meredith, thanks for sharing your wish list, and for your continued inspiration on all things classy!

1. Chanel Cap Toe Pumps- Irresistibly gorgeous and utterly classic.

2. Andy Warhol sketch or print- I love Pop Art and Warhol’s larger-than-life persona.

3. Missoni and Coach Be@rbricks- Low-brow Japanese art mixed with high-brow brands…fun, fun.

4. VP job at Chanel- The reason I get up and work hard every day.



5. Castle- My must-have. Prince charming welcome, but I’ll pick up the tab.
