Fall/Winter Wish List

This wish list has been sitting opened in Photoshop for over a month.  I've been going back and forth in my mind, attempting to identify the essential things I aim to purchase this season.  I think this is the best way to shop. If you're anything like me, you'll find an excuse to buy anything.  I'll justify something until I'm blue in the face and red in the checking account, yet I don't need it.  I do, however, need a freaking winter coat.  I returned the one I purchased last year because it fell apart and never replaced it, only to wear sweatshirts and denim jackets until the cold weather subsided.  Sad, I know, so this winter I pledge to be warm and not look like like a fool. Plus, it's my first official New York City winter as a resident so I need to look the part.  No more hours and hours on the train!

A breakdown:

1. Reiss wide brim hat.  $55

2. PRADA BAROQUE HOLY SHIT SUNGLASSES in shell. $300
Yes, you're reading that right.  I bought them! AND THE BEST PART IS I paid a clean $100 for them.  Here's a short version:  Perry and I decided it was time to get out to Off Fifth (the Saks outlet) mid summer.  We slowly grazed through the sunglasses like goats searching for the perfect piece of grass to eat.  She yelled out to me if I liked a certain pair and not even looking up I said "No, they're not the Prada's I want."  Actually I didn't say it, I wined it like a little baby.  I made my way around to the opposite side, looked up and came close to flat lining on the center Juicy display.  My heart dropped and I had a hard time breathing.  THERE THEY WERE.  The only pair in the store.  But how? Why? They're only being offered in department stores now! They must have been a return.  Either way, they are unscratched, godly, heavenly, and perfect just like your precious first born. You're jealous.  Don't worry, as I type this I stop every once in a while to pick at the broken skin on my upper lip from a home wax job gone a little wrong.  I'm not that cool I just find a good deal once in a while.

3. H&M Wide Leg khaki pants. $40

4. Carven Neoprene skirt. $710  *Good news! Joe Fresh, a Canadian H&M type deal is moving to Soho in November and they make one for around $70!*

5. Burberry Trench $1,200.

6. Cambridge Sachel Company $150 These things are incredible sturdy. 

7. Stella McCartny Double breasted evening coat $2,000

8. Moncler men's Parka $870
