Wish Want Love Covet 5

Blah - so much is happening right now that when I sit down to write a blog post I can't keep it under a bazillion words.  I've moved into a community house in which I'm VERY happy at and am both getting my room ready by painting/capret installation and dealing with the fact all my items are strewn everywhere in boxes.  Today is Friday....a relaxing day (for the moment)....so I thought I'd post up another wish want love covet blog.  No good reason, other than I have some free time and I found some really cute things! 

Squee! I really adore aprons, although most of the ones I like are far too small for my curveacious hips.

Oh my goodness this is so incredibly me.  And snazzy like hot.  Yes!

This is beyond super cute fantastic - I'm realizing I want the things I own to be both beautiful and meaningful.
This shrug is beautiful!

I am always in favor of the key&lock combination.  This is simple, streamlined, gorgeous, and ridiculously priced for what it is.  Things this expensive just drive me nuts.  Beautiful things should not be beyond everyone's budget.

Sooo pretty - celtic designs with red garnets?  Delish!

Following along on the whole - I love keys thing.....

this necklace is amazing, although perhaps a bit big for my tastes

...................but who knows? Those things change.

Yeah, I know......the same ol' same ol' red and black, but it's just so damn sexy!

Wish Want Love Covet 4

Pretty and Elegant.  I like jewerly, and have been wearing more of it more often, but I tend to stay to my tried and true favorites that are comfortable so I'm looking for more things that are pretty and basic and versitile....


http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.212184350.jpg


I'm also growing out my hair as a part of a multiple layer promise to myself on several things.  I can see my bangs now - which is a little weird.  And it's quickly going to get to that "In-my-face-I-hate-it-it's-driving-me-nuts" stage.  Which isn't really a stage for me so much as a year long patience trying endurance test.  There are reasons I'm doing this that superceed the irritation factor.  It is worth it.  However, I need things to make it pretty during this stage and ways to keep it out of my face....and that means BARRETTES!!!! And HAIRBANDS!!!

This one is pretty, black and white to be versitile, elegant, and sparkly.  Though my frienship with Elizabeth, I'm gaining an appreciation for sparkly things.

 I LOVE love love LOVE flower barrettes and this one is so feminine and I love the colors.

I enjoy tortishell.  I think the rich honey color goes well with my skin and really love the sparkly bits.

Again - Elegant, black and white, soft and feathery.  Pretty Pretty.

There is a theme here...... And these are actually two combs facing eachother, so it would be strong enough to hold my fine hair.  I don't have very thick hair, so most clips and barrettes slip right out.

Wish Want Love Covet Housewares

So once again my interest is swinging back around to fashion and pretties, design and motifs.  I dressed up all pretty today in red and black with some kitten heels.  I'm heading out to a rock show my friend is playing in.  And besides the corset I'm going to throw on later for the fun of it, I thought a beautiful feather boa would complete the outfit just perfectly.  Unfortuneately, I don't have one...but this one would go PERFECT with what I'm wearing today.

I've also been madly rearranging my apartment any chance I get and I just want it to look - different.  First time since I was 18 that I get to have my own space to decorate and I realize how little I've developed my houseware style in those adult years except for odds and ends here and there.  There've been little ideas floating in my head how I can adjust the ambiance by the decor I chose and there are quite a few things that are just going to have to go, and a few things I'd love to start prolifferating around the house. 

Candles are definitely one of those.  I think a few unique cnandleholders would really bring something to the room, and here are a few I really liked.  Red. Black. Classic Metal and Sensual Glass.

I'd also like some natural elements as well - I have a small collection of stained bamboo holders and darker stone oriental urns and containers.  I think the red dogwood branches would be a wonderful addition when I have a larger place.

And mirrors! I want appropriately placed mirrors throughout my home.

I like the fame on this one.

And I think this one has a great sense of depth to it.

As pretty as all of these are, there are 

so many things that I need to focus on first. 

Responsible things.

Ah, responsibilities.



Wish Want Love Covet 3

It's been a while since I had a Wish/Want/Love/Covet Fashion Post.  I've had some more time on my hands lately and 'lo and behold - the desire to dress up pretty and invest time and attention into what I'm wearing and how I look has returned!  YAY!  So - without further ado, a new list of wish want love covet....

I'm totally not wrapped up into the whole 'Steampunk' movement that's sweeping my area.  However, there are some pieces out there that frankly just kick ass - this belt being one of them.  *Drool* ....I'm also wondering if I can make something that would resemble this with my newfound leather crafting skills....I'm pretty sure, however, that this amount of design would supercede my abilities at this point.

Wish Want Love Covet...

5" Heels? A little much...but I still want them.

Super cute tiny little pretty earings.

I'm in love with strappy suspendery type things lately. 

I desperately need sock garters.  Yes.  Sock garters.

I want them.

And I love Amerian Apparel's tights/leggings/hose. 

These slit leggings look so fashion grunge.

And would add great texture to a lot of things.

These would look bitchen' with my new suspenders. 

Add a little pizzaz.

How hot are these?

That's all I got to say. 

YYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!

OK, ok, ok.

(I'm excited)

I GOT THE BOOTS

for my birthday!!!!!

They're pretty and sexy and fit well and the heel is perfect and they're stable and gorgeous and awesome and I love them....I really REALLY REALLY Love them!

(thank you SO much Mamma!)

Boot and Belt Madness

I'm in love with boots, but with large feet (size 11, or 42 European) it's practically impossible to find good boots in my size. In face I frequently have to go to ...um...more..."slutty sites" is really the only appropriate term I can think of. Tranny sites also have my size in boots. Go figure. Anyway, I stumbled across this site which has some actually cute shoes in my size. Mmm.. add to the covet list. Ignore the half naked ladies that were included in the pictures. I will NOT be dressing like them.

And for the belts. I have ONE belt currently I bought in high school. I realized this morning that I am going to fantasize about having some more right now. Since my boyfriend originally got laid off in June, this is the first time I'm really feeling the >crunch<>

Back to the belts, though. I have a love hate relationship with them. I love the idea of them. I need them when I lose weight and my pants start to drape, but they hate to look good on me. I have to be SUPER careful about which belts I wear, as my curvy waist doesn't always look great in all belts, especially with the big and chunky bright belts which seem to be the most recent fad. I've been looking at every store I go to but nothing stands out to me. What can I say? I'm picky. But I think it's well worth it to be picky.

This is a wide belt I could totally dig.

I LOVE this "equestrian belt". Can't really explain why...the mild bondage aspect to it (I love that look), or the clean lines with the simple accents?

Gotta have a red patent leather belt in your arsenal.

Not sure if I'd wear this with my fashion aesthetic, but I'm intreguied by this Autumn Belt

Wish Want Love Covet 2

Such a cute top - very versitile - very girl-scouty (which I sucked at, by the way)

I LOVE the pink and the little details

I REALLY want some more very feminine blouses.

Can't see the detail very well with this picture,

but this would also be a great versitile piece. The bow makes me smile.

This is AMAZING. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the roses.

SO sleek but feminine too. I love flouncy,

and I think I'd be able to pull off the flounsy-ness of it.

So adorable. Mink and Bow Headpiece. Yay.

A girl friend of mine and I went browsing last Sunday and she kept putting hats on me. We laughed like girly-girls. It was SO fun. She lives a couple states away and that makes me a little sad, because I LOVED hanging out/browsing with her. She's adorable like me in an alpha-female, don't take crap, but still giggly way.

Wish Want Love Covet

Going Dizzy with this Navy Dotted Secretary Blouse.

A brown I could fall in love with.

Vintage Art Deco Purse.

Pretty in Pink Dress.

Absolutely gorgeous pink blouse. Too bad it's too small for me. :(

Birthday/Christmas Wish List

So it's my birthday in less than 2 weeks. Christmas is coming up. But I'm broke and poor and I've DESPERATELY been coveting things clothes/shoes/jackets/beads/etc... recently. It's frustrating that I can only very gradually acquire wardrobe items, but when I go to put them on I realize I have nothing else to go with them. Found a cute $1 skirt...but have no shoes (or blouse) to go with it. Found a beautifully white and black striped adorable cardigan-esque cotton jacket. But no shirt that will go underneath it it.

GRAH!

Anyway, I was making a list for others as to what I would like for Christmas (honestly, given the situation most of everyone is in financially, a smile/call/hug will suffice because that's about all I can afford now). But I figured it'd be fun to list some of the things I've been drooling over/would love to have. A list of "If I had a bunch of money to drop..."

And I've tried linking the photos to the websites....but it seems like it's having problems.

Cute little adorable blouse.

Gorgeous red clutch

Who can't use a polka dot scarf?

And this abstract scarf ROCKS my socks off.

So chic. AND affordable. Amazing.

Granted, these ARE a little elfish, but the swooshieness of them attracts me.

I want these. I want these. I want these.

Oh how I want these.

Very cute and elegant ID case.

I have one pair of jeans right now. One. And they're baggy. So I want more jeans.

Red. Sexy. Want.

A classic shoe (once again, I don't have).

Sassy and spunky.

They'd be great for a lot of things.

And that's the end of my completely consumeristic and silly want fest. I'm going to go back later and try to make all the stupid links work. Most of these were from www.etsy.com or www.whitehouseblackmarket.com . Anyway, I've got a ton more posts to do...it's just been super busy and stressful lately.

Hugs!
