Cute things catching my eye...

As I've been browsing online this past week I've found some cute new items I'd love to add to my closet...my ever-growing wish list continues!  Here's what's been catching my eye as of late:

1.
Boden Montpellier Top


I hadn't been a huge fan of the whole Peter Pan collar look but after trying one out I found on Very Jane (or maybe it was GroopDealz?  Can't remember...) I actually kind of like them!  This top from Boden is adorable and comes in a variety of colors and even some polka dots.  The length is right on the border for me so I think I'll wait for a great deal to give it a try. 


2. 



I really wanted to get in on the coated denim trend last winter but just couldn't find a pair I really loved.  I'm not sure these will be "the ones" but they have great potential!  And the color...GORGEOUS!  The seam across the lower thigh could be a little worrisome, but you just never know.  I'd love to try these on next time I'm at Gap.


3.
Brinjal Pendant Necklace
(pink motif)


I had never really been drawn to this necklace online and even when it hit sale last week I didn't move on it, but when I saw this cute necklace on Jessica in one of her outfit posts a few days later I knew I had to have it.  It was so cute!  By the time I decided I wanted the necklace, it had sold out online so I called Anthropologie's customer service and was able to locate one through their store search (in case you're still looking for this, one of the store in NYC had over 70 of them last week so I'd imagine they may still have some left).   It arrived a few days ago and I love it.  It's gorgeous, and only cost me $19.95 with free shipping.  Score!  I'd love to wear it with this cute look in the fall:


Ruffled Hem Pullover/ AG Stevie Roll-Up Denim/ Splendid "Rodeo" Booties/ Brinjal Pendant Necklace

Ok, I'm seriously dying over these.  I really want a pair of booties that are this awkward, above the ankle height this year for some reason, and after THESE were an epic fail on me during the Nordstrom anniversary sale (they were HUGE around my chicken ankles), I'm still on the lookout for a great option.   I'm totally smitten over these beauties.  Yes, please! Those scallops had me at hello!  Anthro knows how to stock their shelves with cute winter wear!

And last but not least...although I could go on and on and on....

Speaking of winter wear...I am totally in need of a fabulous black and white print cord coat---said me, the second I saw this online.  Seriously, such a great twist on a classic!  I live in the land of always needing a coat from Oct-April so this may be a great option to add to my closet for the not-so-bone-chilling days in fall.  

Like I said, there's so many more things I could have mentioned...this time of year is my absolute favorite for clothes!  So may great layering pieces, boots, coats, etc, etc, etc.  Love it!

What do you have your eye on lately?  Have you started shopping for fall?  Or is it still 99 degrees outside?  

Have a great weekend!

PS--Thanks to those who have helped me clean out my closet by purchasing items from my sale blog.  There's still lots of great items left so head on over to check them out if you're interested!

  1. I bought the Brinjal Pendant in turquoise. I've had my eye on it for a long time, and finally jumped at $19.95. It is a bit large for me (I don't usually wear statement necklaces)but I love it. Excited to see it in an outfit photo on your blog.

  2. Okay, I have to track down that necklace. Here is what I'm loving:

    Free People Ruffle Hem Twill Jacket (at nordi's and free people)-I picked it up today at the Free People store and it is super cute. It is calling you as I think you'll find it very versatile and the ruffles on the back are so cute. You can also roll up the sleeves for a nice look. I think it will be a staple for fall.

    Also picked up the Alsace cardi from Anthro. They just opened up a petite store in Chevy Chase, MD so I was able to pick up the petite version. It's super cute. BTW it would look great with those booties.

  3. I've been wanting a J. Crew fan fringe necklace knock off for a while, so I ordered one this week! I can't wait for it to come. I've also been eyeing a polka dot top on the Wallis site, but I can't bring myself to order it yet.

    1. I've never ordered from Wallis before because I've heard mixed reviews on the quality of clothing and customer service. If you order I'd love to hear about your experience!

  4. Thanks for the shout out! Glad you got the necklace, it's too cute to pass up for that price! Can't wait to see you wear it. And I also have my eye on those scalloped boots. I got the Steve Madden ones too but now I want to take them back and get the anthropologie ones, they're so much cuter!
