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?

Aqua Leather Peplum

 

this amanda uprichard martini strapless leather peplum top kills me.

 

i mean could there be a more perfect spring sexy top? 

 

yes please.

Forever Frugal Friday

 

i finally found my chambray/denim shirt!  i have been on the hunt for some time now and am happy to report that i found one for under $20 two weekends ago and have already worn it three times!  i paired it out one saturday night with a fitted black skirt, and then wore it to work two separate times with different black skirts.  best news...i received numerous compliments on it and had to share it with y'all. 

 

please note the shirt is a MILLION times better than the picture here.  trust.

 

i also spied these three gorgeous finds and am thinking one (or more) should make it home with me this week.  i was leaning towards the mint high-low lace trimmed top originally but the more i look at the mint metallic polka dot button up and after reading love, lipstick and pearls post on fall trends i think i may get that instead.  and of course i still really want a faux leather skirt.

 

what fall trend are you looking forward to most? 

 

Desperately Seeking Sully ~ Rebecca Minkoff

remember back in junior high, when all your friends had something cool and you just wanted to fit in and buy it too regardless of how silly the trend was (cross color t-shirts anyone)?

well my friends i have major friend purchase envy and it is all due to one girl...rebecca minkoff.

not only does it seem like she is always having a fun time (fun to follow on instagram), but she is always giving shout outs to her "minkettes" and i think it is just about the cutest thing i have seen in a long while. 

and the best part about rebecca minkoff is her use of color, style and playfulness in her designs.  i am definitely lacking a signature rebecca minkoff piece.  my awesome iphone cover was stolen (along with my awesome iphone) and now i am yearning for something new, not only to fit in with my fabulous friends but because i too want to be a minkette!

i currently have the my treasures pouch in my shopping cart but also want to purchase the omfg pouch in persimmon because it brings a huge smile to my face.  the kahel leather jacket is straight up gorgeous and would look quite lovely with the mac stud clutch.  and for that wedding september first, i would be ever so happy to be caught in the claudia dress.  and i am still crossing my fingers i can give my passport another stamp and carry it in this leopard print passport wallet.

are you lucky enough to be a minkette?  what's your fave rebecca minkoff item? 

mark my words - i will be a minkette soon enough!

Forever Frugal Friday ~ Cocktail Party Chic

(click picture to enlarge)

1) French Cuff Shirt (Banana Republic) 2) Glitzy Sequined Skirt 3) Beaded Cluster Necklace 4) Paneled Leatherette Biker Jacket

Next Saturday I am attending a cocktail party at my bosses house and then heading to the bars to celebrate my friend taking his LSAT.  Two very different crowds and two very different occasions.  However, I think the outfit above will allow me to transition from each party effortlessly. 

I realize the necklace is a little matchy to the skirt but, I don't really mind.  And the leather jacket will help keep me warm but also add a little fun.  I am also considering bringing a backup White V-Neck to change into for the bars (also in case I spill on myself at the party). 

A little bit of dazzle and sparkle is just what the holidays need and this skirt is sure to get the job done.

Desperately Seeking Sully ~ That's A Wrap.....

.....Watch! I am majorly go-go-ga-ga head over heels in love with these La Mer watches.  These gorgeous, edgy and sexy watches are just what this girl needs to keep me on time.  Some of my faves are below...

Perfect for hot summer nights, White Patent is all right with me.

For girls night out, this Black Multichain is alright with me.

Rooting for the Lakers has never been easier or more timely with this Gold Glam Chain.

Tell me about it (Pyramid) STUD !

Perhaps the most simple and elegant, this Sparkle Wrap will go with just about anything and anyone!

And because I am partial to anything with the name Venice, this washed gray wrap will do just fine!

And that my friends, is a wrap!
