It's that time of year again..

I'm talking about none other than tax season! And with tax season comes TAX RETURNS! Mwhahahaha.. Each year I like to make out a list of potential purchases to make with a portion of the funds I receive back and then I slowly filter out the wants from the essentials.. With this year I've been trying to change up my wardrobe and start buying pieces I can grow with. As always your comments and suggestions are appreciated!


1. ASOS Blouse with Lace Detail: I love delicate tops, this one is intricate and dainty- plus the price is just right!
2. Zara Plaited Leather Shopper: This has been a hot item for this season and last, a perfect black bag for travel or business- just what my closet needs! Conveniently, I don't own any black bags right now.. Talk about justification..
3. Bass Casell Leather Loafers: I prefer loafers to flats, they last longer in my opinion and are a bit more boyish which is what I like.
4. Asos Heron Leather Lace Wedges: I'm slowly transitioning my wardrobe into a lot of neutral and black, this wedge would fit in perfectly with my new aesthetic!
5. Asos AXE Leather Western Ankle Boots with Chelsea Detail: I had a pair of boots just like these that have succumbed to over-use, so these would be a great replacement.. Also they have a great Alexander Wang-vibe about them..
6. Celine Audrey Sunglasses: These babies are sold out, and way out of my price range, but I'm looking for something along the same lines. They're straight out of "Breakfast at Tiffany's".
7. ASOS Midi Dress with Pockets: I love easy sophisticated dresses that you can just throw on. Effortless chic is the definition of this dress.
8. ASOS Shirt With Cutout And Dip Back: I tend to shy away from loud colors- green especially, but this shirt is so simple and I could see it going with a lot of pieces in my wardrobe. Plus, the back is so fun!
9. Zara Basic Sandal: I'd been looking for a simple black heel and these are so pretty, and the price is awesome!
10. Asos Helios Leather Heeled Gladiator Sandal: I don't own any red shoes. This leather sandal is something I can feel myself growing with. Don't you think?

Back to school wish list pt. 3: Accessories

1. The Row Cats Eye Sunglasses: These sunglasses are the epitome of chic, period.

2. Just found out this snood is no longer available!!

3. ASOS Faux Fur Gilet: For $40 this faux fur gillet is a definite wardrobe investment, and it probably feels realllly soft.. ahh..

4. ASOS Color Block Fringe Snood: I love Snoods, and I love fringe. A snood that has fringe? Winning!
5. Brixton Swindle Felt Trilby: Hats make me feel sophisticated, like those glamorous women who wore hats to important places.. Let's bring hats back!

I feel as though a really good accessory has the power to either make or break an outfit. The accessories that caught my eye from the ASOS were what I felt to be statement pieces. I think each one of these beauties would suit my wardrobe well.. But we'll see!

More wish lists to come!

Back to school wish list pt. 2: Bags

1. ASOS Suede Brogue Detail Satchel: This bag is very striking with the royal blue suede, but very classic looking.
2. Clare Vivier Fold Over Clutch: I really like this bag because it is simple and the pink stands out.
3. Limited Edition Candy Boston Bag: I love love love this bag, I already have the plain Furla Candy Bag in blue, but the calf leather in the python print really kicks it up a notch.
4. Sang A Mini Pop Matte Python Bag: There are no words that I can think of to describe this bag, none. I must have you!
5. Zara Leather Tote Shopper:: (No longer available, but I can still dream, right?) I love neons, period.

Handbags are now a necessity for me. I used to be content with large pockets, but now that simply won't do. I like my handbags to be unique but not complicated. A handbag should brighten up your whole look, completing your ensemble. These bags are fun and classic, and since I tend to stick to a monochromatic palate with my clothes in the winter, any one of these would bring a little life into my winter wardrobe.

More wish lists to come!
