Top 5 Things On My Christmas Wish List I Was Really Nice For This Year

I gave cash tips when I could, tried to be open-minded as much as possible, gave others the benefit of the doubt, etc etc. I was really nice this year because of the top 5 gifts on my Christmas wish list. Think I'll get them? We'll see.

1. Leopard print flats such as Clark's Valley Lounge...

Because they can give a sassy chic kick to my outfit, plus I'm really into leopard print right now.

2. Patent leather pumps such as Ivanka Trump's 'Indico' Pump...

Because a pair of black leather pumps are a basic closet must-have, they can be worn with pretty much anything including dresses, skirt, jeans, trousers- you name it and its got your back.

3. Oversized white shirt such as Zara's Oversized Shirt with Pockets...

Because it's super sexy and comfortable at the same time! I'm dying to pair it with leather leggings for super simple chic look.

4. Marc by Marc Jacobs 'Too Hot to Handle - Mini' Leather Drawstring Crossbody bucket bag...

Because it's cute! And I love the idea of a mini bucket bag opposed to the regular sized ones that always seems a little bit too big for the shape.

5. Barton Perreira Joplin sunglasses in Heroine Chic-Gold...

Because I love the tomboyish-ness of these sunglasses and just I just can't stay away from the tortoise shell frames!

My Long Ago Grunge Days Haunt Me

I remember when Winona Ryder was the IT girl.  Dazed and Confused and Reality Bites were the movies that imitated current life... kind of, or so we wished. Doc Martins, cardigans and makeup free faces with only bold red lips were the hottest thing. These are the things that I remember when I see the printed dress with lace trim from Zara, does it make me want to buy it and relive those moments? Umm... yes.

Shorts + Skirt = SKORT!

I remember the skort in the 90's, it was one of the fashion trends of that time. When I happened upon the vibrant blue Skort at Zara's it immediately made me nostalgic, not that there was really anything to love about 90's fashion. Naturally Zara's 2013 Skort has made a transformation into a high-end, trim and prim with an essence of 'it's totally okay to wear it to work' skort.
