Books I am obsessed with right now!

I am reading the Shopaholic Series (they are so much better than the movie, even though the movie is cute too!). I just finished the 3rd one- Shopaholic Gets Married.

Sophie Kinsella's novels are so witty, fun, and easy to read.
I suggest checking them out for a little literary get away =)

Watches!

A new obsession of mine is watches.

Started with a dream watch that I received for my 22nd birthday from my fiance. A beautiful Michael Kors pink acrylic watch I wear almost everyday: (google image)


Another Michael Kors watch that came in a close second: Available from Macy's


A Christmas present from Santa (via Rue La La): A Betsey Johnson animal print silver watch. Similar to the one pictured below. So cute! (google image)

Jewelsssssss

Here are some amazing pieces of jewelry I can't get enough of:

A girl I went to high school with makes jewelry and she has some AWESOME stuff. I can't even post the ones I love the most because there are soooo many! Check her out! http://www.alicialynnjewelry.com/ and on facebook! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Alicia-Lynn-Jewelry-Designs/156524067706698?ref=ts

Sometimes I think Tiffany & Co is too over done and easily replicated but they do have some pieces that I enjoy looking at:

I love these earrings. Tiffany blue, simple, elegant, yet still stand out. Priced at $500, a girl can dream =)

Another piece from Tiffany that I LOVE and actually own (thanks to my amazing fiance!): Diamonds by the yard. You can wear these with everything and feel like a million bucks!

A Tiffany piece that I hope to own before I die (could become a family heirloom haha) and that I would love for a wedding anniversary (sometime in the farrrrrrr future) or something similar from another company.

Even more unattainable is the timeless Cartier Love Collection. At $4,300 bucks... a trip to China Town is in order... People have mixed feelings about knockoffs, I think if they are unrealistic in your budget and you want it... nothing should stand in your way! ((and I want this haha))

Similar to the Cartier Love Bracelet, is the Kate Spade "hand in hand" bracelet. Which I LOVE! I know many have blogged about this particular piece of jewelry because it is so simple and beautiful and better yet 25% of total sales from the bangle will be donated to women for women international! Priced at just below $50, it is probably my next splurge!

Boots I LOVE

To buy or not to buy, I am not so sure.
Of course there is only one pair left- size 6- my size. Decisions... Decisions. UPDATE: sold out... on to the next one!

Bigger update!! Found a vintage pair on etsy.com (one of the best websites EVER!)
Got um! Thanks to the etsy.com store: SallyJaneVintage!

Once again- Love Tory Burch. This brand is my number 1 wish list! Love both colors of these boots!

A fashion icon of mine: Kourtney Kardashian rocking some awesome boots.
She also states that they are from Chanel, Bea-u-t-ful.

Another pair of boots that I love and stalked for a while are the Steve Madden Troopa Boots in black (the other colors are awesome too though!) Finally bought them- So cute and bad ass!

I want a new bag.

So I have decided I need to hit the lottery so I can buy myself a new (expensive and gorgeous) bag.

Here are some of the front runners:


Love, Love, Love Tory Burch-bags, shoes, and apparel

Now, normally I can't stand Coach, but they have some pretty awesome stuff out right now:

On another hand: a bag I recently received as a late Christmas present from my fiance: I LOVE Rachael Roy! Proceeds from this bag go to help the crisis in Pakistan. Totally worth $20!



The back is signed by many influential people including: Jay-Z, Oprah, Rachael Roy, Rachael Zoe, Vera Wang etc.


Dear Kate Spade,

I usually think your bags are boring and don't see the appeal but WOW have you upped the creativity!

I am so into the book of the month clutch and the Newspaper line! Check them out!
