(Top to Bottom) 

Vince Camuto - Amori (Buy it here)

Jeffrey Campbell - Melina (Buy it here)

Jeffrey Campbell - Boone (Buy it here)

Seeing as my 22nd birthday is coming up (not really--October baby over here) I thought it would only be appropriate to make a little collage displaying the newest item(s) I would like to covet for myself. Black boots are versatile and practical (the sweetest words any student loves to hear), and these boots have just the right amount of edge to them. Cutouts and metal detailing make me all weak in the knees. Ouuu ahh. Anyways...until my birthday, I will satiate my shoe hunger with more online window shopping.

Spring Essentials : Handbags

I can't lie, about 90% of my purses are black. It's only because I'm driven mainly by my sad student budget and I need something a. big and sturdy enough for school, b. reasonably priced, and c. in a color I can wear with anything. But imagine for a second I had the bank account to purchase any purse I want (every girls dream am i right??), I'd buy that impractical clutch that matches only one outfit. So here you go; I've compiled my dream collage of purses I'd buy this spring. Let's all salivate together.

1. Steve Madden - Bstevie
2. Saint Laurent - Neon Yellow Leather Monogram Shoulder Bag
3. Zara - Shoulder Bag with Metal Fastening
4. Philip Lim - Black & Iridescent 31 Minute Lambskin Clutch
5. Michael Kors - Gia Shoulder Flap Bag
6. Marc By Marc Jacobs - Moto Satchel
7. Zara - Animal Print Messenger Bag

I hope ya'll are enjoying my little spring essentials series :)

Till next Thursday. Chow!

Spring Essentials : Trench Coats

I've never owned a trench coat and I'm dying to invest in one for this spring. Whether it's a classic trench coat or a modern take on the coat they can add sophistication and style to any outfit. I'm ready to save and invest in this staple classic every woman should have in their closet. I found a couple of jackets that I personally love and want to own.

1. H&M - Trenchcoat in Light Blue
2. H&M - Trenchcoat
3. Club Monaco - Isabelle Trench
4. Zara - Flowing Trench Coat
5. Mackage - Avra S4 Coat with Leather Sleeves

I can't wait to own any one of these. Get ready wallet!

Wish List: Spring Black Boots

 

Needless to say, I've been obsessed with black boots this fall and winter. Rockin boots into the spring and summer will be something new for me but I'm so in love with the trend that I'll take the sweaty feet. I love how a pair of sturdy leather boots can edge up any outfit. I foresee me dressed in feminine summer dresses with badass boots. Now... if only these boots were a fraction of the price, then we'd be in business.

Btw, props to me for my first Photoshop collage creation. Hello lasso tool!
