Currently Craving… Lace-up Booties

This trend is a bit trendier than I would usually go for, but lately, I can’t stop thinking about high-heeled, lace-up booties.  Paired with black tights and skirts & dresses, they’d be just fab.  The same goes for a pair of ankle-grazing trousers, but I don’t own a pair, so that would be yet another fashion craving which I can’t afford to have, so I’ll just stick to skirts and dresses for now.

DANNIJO cravings..

Oh DANNIJO… they just have the best jewelry.  Over the years I have managed to find a few pairs of their earrings at sample sales, but my budget won’t allow for much else.  Still, a girl can dream!  Their statement-making necklaces are nothing short of amazing, and the two below are what I’m lusting for… (and, maybe, going to try and DIY my own little version.) Serena was wearing this one (The Isadore) on last week’s Gossip Girl.  I fell head over heels in love.  It looks a little odd in the picture, but on, it’s just amazing.  It’s also $695, so it isn’t in my future, ever, but I’m thinking maybe I could craft up something similar.

Smith & Vandiver Spa Shower Tablets – Genius!

I’m a huge fan of the bath.  It’s the easiest way to feel indulgent and pampered without well, indulging!  There is no better way to unwind than to light a few candles, dim the lights, and slip into a nice warm tub.  I’ll put on a face mask and tackle a fashion mag or two, and an hour later, I’m relaxed and ready for bed.

The Look for Less… Tiffany Key Necklace

The Tiffany Key Necklace is both classic and super hot right now… (and looks oh so cute with stripes, I might add.) Unfortunately, it’s just not in my budget right now.  Luckily, there are a lot of just as chic versions out there to choose from.  And (somewhat shockingly,) my favorite of all is from Kohl’s.  Not bad, no?

Confirmed…

Stripes are in, and staying in! Just got wind of J. Crew’s Spring 2011 collection and already coveting this top.
