What’s on My May Wish List

I love putting together a little wish list every month; it’s almost as much fun as actual shopping. This month’s round-up is a nice little mashup of fashion and jewelry, with a few fun home finds thrown in.

What’s on my MAY wish list

Before I dive in, I wanted to share two hyperfixations. The first is a big fringe piano shawl. When Kelly visited a couple of weeks ago, she had one on, and I became obsessed. She bought hers at a thrift store in Brooklyn, but as it turns out, Etsy has so many. I wound up buying two: a vibrant yellow and a more classic ivory. These seem to me like the way to add a chic vintage vibe to Charleston’s many garden parties and events, where everyone is wearing dresses.

The second: vintage Chinese Tang jackets. This started for me (as so many things do right now) with Conner Ives. I really want this. Alas, it’s very expensive and impractical. One of my favorite vintage accounts had a big drop and posted this vintage coat, which I actually like even more. I nearly bought it, but I think it would be too small. What is interesting about that one is that it’s a set: a fur collar and a silk jacket. Which got me thinking. A removable fur is so much better, especially if you live somewhere warm. I have my grandmother’s fur collar that I could easily add to a silk jacket. Then I got on Etsy and had an absolute field day. It was an actual treasure trove. I ordered three jackets, none of them more than $200. Also, not my size, but this $50 gold brocade jacket feels so similar to the Kallmeyer one I pre-ordered on Moda a couple of months ago.

Anyway, the rest of my wish list is below. So many fun things.

PS – April’s wish list!
