Wishlist

I want to share with you all five things that I'm yearning for, for Christmas.  I hope it gives everyone some ideas or at least some inspiration for the holidays!!

I found the shoes about a year ago on SoleStruck.  This site has the most AMAZING shoes all in one location! I'm obsessed with the claw heel and the covered plaform.  They would look amazing with tights, leggings, or a dress and a cozy sweater.

Gee Wa Wa Fatale Platform

I love this jacket for a quick layering piece.  It comes in black, but I'm trying to break up the solidarity of my color palette.  I've been really into shearling for this winter and a large lapel is always a great statement!

This Funktional Leather jacket is to die for.  It is lambskin leather, so it's super soft.  The draping in the front is really flattering for someone of my shape and bust.  The back is paneled and darted so it creates a great effect in the back.  This would be my go-to coat for every occasion.

These leggings are a little risque, but I love the contrast of the sheer front with the opaque black.  They remind me slightly of the Katie Gallagher leggings I've posted before.  The would be perfect under a tunic, with a dress, or a skirt with wedges or combat boots.  It's the right amount of leg for the winter and creates a great contrast.

This ring has been so popular!! I have a knock off that I bought from a street vendor in New York, but the color is almost completely gone.  I love that this ring is adjustable so you can switch fingers if you wanted.  It is the perfect ring for a little bit of edge while still be sleek and functional.  I love the brass tone because it already looks rustic, so any wear that the ring will endure will be less obvious.  This is a must have!!

Find Your Clinic

I saw the Jeffrey Campbell Clinics over my summer in Philadelphia doing my internship for Urban Outfitters. 
I tried them on in the store, and from that moment on I was obsessed.  The ankle strap hits me perfectly, the platform and wedge make me about five inches taller! Every day I imagined my outfit wearing the Clinics: leggings and a tank, skirt with my leather jacket, dress with tights, and everyday I was disappointed to not own them.  I found them at SoleStruck finally, but not in my size!! I hunted around on the internet for them, and couldn't find them anywhere.  I finally found them on this random website, and used my grocery money for the month to buy them!! I couldn't pass up the chance to own these beauties.  I just got them in the mail and I couldn't be more in love with them.  Fierce is the word that comes to mind.  Now when I go out, it doesn't even matter what I wear, because I have my clinics.  When you have the right pair of shoes, it elevates any outfit and makes you feel incredible.  That is what my Clinics do for me.  So I challenge everyone to find your own Clinic.
