Lusting Lately ~ Spring 2013

 

this zara leather jacket w/ ruffle detail is incredible.  it's the perfect color for spring, with just the right feminine touches - peplum, ruffles and zippers oh my!

 

i heart this rebecca minkoff m.a.c. shoulder bag.  i love the camel contrast with the navy print.  it screams spring fun. 

 

my gf cari was wearing these celine sunnies last week and i made the mistake of trying them on, and falling massively in love.

i love pretty much anything dvf puts out, and these opal wedges are to die for.  rose gold strap, cream crisscross and wood wedge, i heart them so much!

 

i heart one of these items so much, i did a bad, bad thing and purchased it.  not for the price listed, but still, quite a luxurious purchase for this girl. 

 

any guess what that item was?  be sure to check out my instagram (@lyndsylee) later next week to see!

 

what luxury items are you craving this spring?

Forever Frugal Friday

i am loving this pintucked tie neck button up A LOT!  perfect girlie top for work and play.  love the red, love the ruffles and the tie is the icing on the cake.  pure prettiness! 

Desperately Seeking Sully ~ Orange Crush

As I look at the window and am greeted with fog, it has suddenly dawned on me that fall has arrived and with fall comes new scents, flavors and a color palette.  And since we are in the month of October (and I did just return from Amsterdam where the color of the country is orange) I decided I should really try to incorporate the color that I despise so much into my wardrobe.

clutch, watch, bangle, ray-bans, earrings, iphone cover, gloves

I think the easiest way to incorporate orange for me would be in accessories.  Accessories allow you the luxury of being bold and bright without being too trendy or over the top.  I am loving all these varieties of orange goodies but am most definitely favoring the iPhone cover, as I am about to make the switch from blackberry to iPhone.  It's a little bit edgy, fun, punk and perfect to set me apart from other iPhone users.

sweater, blouse, ruffle top, pumps, dress, scarf

While the easy and safe route would be accessories, I would like to own one orange staple item.  However my fair skin and light hair are not complimented by orange.  So the trick is to find the right orange for you!  For me, I veer towards the coral and the red-orange options.  But if you are gonna go full out orange a scarf or shoes would be another great choice. 

This fall I am really going to try face my fear of looking like a pumpkin and try out this orange trend.  With options like the ones above I am pretty sure I can't go wrong!  What are your thoughts on orange? 

Gung-ho or steer clear? 

Forever Frugal Friday

I haven't really seen many items at Forever that I am dying to own, but I think I would very much enjoy owning this Lacy Ruffle Dress.  It is just a little more fancy then a cotton sundress, but still casual enough that you wouldn't be overdressed at a concert at the park or pier.  I especially like this dress because it has a little 70's flair to it.  Plus I am a total sucker for ruffles.

I am a total sucker for comfy cozy gray tees.  This Flounce Ruffle Top reminds me of this other top that I saw some time back (I think from Anthro), that I thought would look so cute for summer paired with white skinny jeans and some flat cute sandals.  Throw in a denim jacket for when the sun goes down and voila, perfect summer outfit!
