All I Want.

Items on my radar RN…

I am majorly digging the Missoni vibe of this pajama set ($120 for top, $120 for bottom).  Almost too pretty just for sleepwear.  Could the top double for a daytime look!?


I know I’ve mentioned the beautiful prints Biscuit puts out a ton of times, but I’m newly smitten with their Bloomsbury pattern in both colorways ($60 for a boudoir pillow)

I also dig their marfa print, which they’ve just restocked after selling out.  I think it’d be perfect in a nursery — check out this crib sheet!

As I mentioned previously, I rarely, rarely ever buy anything full price at J. Crew because I fully expect either a promo code or a great sale section.  However, I had to snag this tweed pocketed skirt ($110) the minute it came out.  Very Chanel.  So perfect for an upcoming work presentation.  I’ll wear it with a white blouse.  I didn’t buy the coordinating jacket ($198), and I’m not sure I’d wear the two together…but with jeans?!  Distressed jeans, maybe?!  So chic.

Similar vein: this fringed coat ($158) is everything.  As is this one ($86).

I’d been a long-time disciple of Laura Mercier’s secret concealer ($25 — this stuff is pretty heavy…it’s for my fellow sisters with permanent dark circles under their eyes), and then just in the last year or so converted to Cle de Peau ($70).  The latter is TOTALLY worth the splurge.  A tube will last forever, it goes on like a dream, and it doesn’t look cakey.  But when I couldn’t sleep the other night, I went down a crazy rabbit hole watching different YouTube videos makeup artists had put out on how to contour, strobe, and all those other crazy terms about makeup that I have no idea about.  I rarely wear a full face of makeup so it was more curiosity than anything.  Anyway, one of the artists strongly recommended Nars’ creamy radiant concealer ($28) and it made me wonder if it might be a good supplement to the pricier CDP magic.

The makeup artist also strongly recommended this Nars brush ($55) for contouring/bronzer/blush.

The videos made me want to rethink my makeup brush game.  My absolute favorite one is this Laura Mercier “finishing brush” ($44).  Only I use it for way more — I apply face powder and bronzer with it.

I saw this OTS striped top from A Piece Apart at Intermix the other day ($298) and thought it looked super chic and fresh and right now. But, $300 for a striped top?!  I just couldn’t bite the bullet.  So I was ECSTATIC when I found this lookalike from Zara for a cool $36.  I’ll be wearing it with my new flared jeans from Frame Denim (on sale for $143-$191, depending on color/wash).

 

 

These oversized tassel necklaces from Holst + Lee are everything ($198).  I like the idea of wearing them over a simple white dress ($88) while I’m down in FL in a few weeks.  And speaking of warmer weather dresses, I have my eye on this frothy pink dream for Valentine’s Day and this for a summer BBQ.

 

Ahem, how beyond adorable is this $50 scalloped top?!  A must.  I like the simple styling below — just white jeans and some great sandals.

Love the sweet colors of this Rebecca Taylor sweater (on sale for $219), but gotta admit that I’m more likely going to be buying this far less expensive Gap find in the lilac ($49).

This memoir ($16) by a British aristocrat is next on my list after it was recommended by a fellow blogger.
