While I was home full time with the baby I lived on a reduced salary and found ways to save and be careful with money. After all, I was content to be with my little princess, and everything else was secondary in importance.
Now that I am, once again, walking the office runways, modeling the streets and riding the fashion subway, there is no way around it: I need new clothes!
Here is my wish list for this fall season:
1) The shoes, the shoes!
We know I want shoes. If I get lucky I might even get them today! Of course, I'm talking about the Tory Burch ones.
2) A new coat.
Holy crap, do I need a new coat! I've had many different coats these past years, but it's been a while since I've really loved any of them. And yes, you should love your coat, especially if you live in New York and you get to wear it eight months out of the year!
3) Fancy Tights.
I really love these ones from Miu Miu.
The problem is they probably cost a million dollar, and if you have it to spend I say: "Great! Go get them!"But if you are more like me, you try to find ways around the not spending the million dollar you don't have anyway...
So the more I look at these tights, the more I think: "I could make those myself..."
Well, stay tuned, and you might just get a post on how to make your own Miu Miu embellished tights!
4) Cashmere!On a cool fall morning, I love slipping on a soft cashmere sweater. I could buy 10 new cashmere sweaters every year, all in different colors.
Banana Republic used to be a decent source for cashmere sweaters, and they used to sell them at around $70 each.
I wrote "used to" because they don't sell them anymore. Blame the economy if you wish, but today the closest thing to those cashmere sweaters are these blends of 31% Cotton, 25% Silk, 20% Viscose, 17% Nylon, 4% Cashmere, 3% Spandex. Now say that three times fast!
On a different note, I don't need a new bag (I can't even believe I just wrote that).
The truth is my "handbags space" in my closet is full at this point, and I think I'm pretty much covered, especially if you add "diaper bags" to the equation! ;)
What will you be buying this fall?

I always seem to want a new coat when winter rolls around.
I just can't be satisfied. It's like i need to buy a grey cashmere coat to be fully satisfied.. with a hoodie, down to my knees.. :)
Those fancy tights are HOT!!!!! I love them :)
I never imagined Bedazzling them in an haute couture way could be so cool
70 dollars for a cashmere sweater? Why didn't I stroll into one of those stores? - Oh right it is because of my allergy to malls. I'm sorry those days are gone. After pining after those beautiful shoes, GO FOR IT!! But promise no more than one pair?

Love fancy tights - maybe we can pull off a diy pair? I should try! =)
Gee Whiz, Did you finally get the shoes?? Can't wait to see the pics of them on your feet.

Sorry NYC, didn't mean to rush you about showing me the shoes, with a new baby and going back to work you must be tired.
Daisy
Yes, Daisy my dear, I got the shoes! :)
I will try to post a picture of them soon.
