Best of the Best Wish List

So I decided to compile a 'wish list' of items I would love to own. Simply my version of The Best of the Best.
Herve Leger "Cutout Stretch Dress"
Reason why I chose this dress is the bandeau neckline with the triangular boatneck-style panel. This is an edgy form-fitting style with an array of graphic cutouts. It's chic and sexy, but not forever 21 skanky. You can wear your hair straight, curly, or even up with this dress, and we all know not all dresses can pull that off.
Christian Louboutin "Tell Me Peep-Toe Pumps"
This Graffiti inspired design made out of Italian leather with exaggerated letters and contrast trim makes an outfit. Most of the time, women pick out their dress and match the shoes to the outfit. These shoes take control, you match a simple dress to these shoes- thus, the shoe has character while your outfit plays the supporting role. Now how many shoes can you say have this power?
Burberry Taffeta Trench Coat
We all know if someone was walking down the street with this coat on we all would stare and wished we had this coat. Burberry is well known for its versatile cuts in coats which makes everyone good in their coats.
Yves Saint Laurent Puff-Sleeve Cardigan
Now who doesn't love Cardigans? This Italian silk, cotton, and cashmere with long puffed sleeves and draped front is cardigans at perfection. The front shows a more relax fit but the back of the cardigan is very fitting and well tailored with a relax feel. This is the Queen of Cardigans.
Salvatore Ferragamo "Grazia Peep-Toe Pumps"
During the presidential election Kerry sparked some controversy when he was spotted with his $600 Ferragamo shoes. Clearly these shoes are worth talking about. So my pick goes to this gorgeous metallic leather style with the signature ribbon detail with the metal heel. And anyone who knows me knows I love the self covered platforms.
Alexander McQueen Short-Sleeve Satin Dress
This slim fitting dress with a seductive V neckline. I'm not really into his crazy designs/prints and love LBDs but this dress has the shoulder pad theme that many celebs are into these days.

Diane von Furstenberg's Paranga Tee paired with a DVF skirt
Who can pull off an oversized shirt like that? AND make it look chic? You can wear this walking around the city during the day OR a night out.
D&G Wool Blazer
This is the definition of chic suiting style. This is CEO meets fashionista. This is more feminine than those career suits you find in department stores, which hide a woman's figure.

Versace
This leather detail Sleeveless Dress is form fitting richly detailed with luxe leather inserts and exposed front zipper. The back of this dress is also all leather. This mix of fabrics and design makes it unique, and more detailed than simple zipper dresses you can find in forever 21.
I am a Fendi purse kind of girl but once I saw these shoes I forgot all about their signature F print bags. This shoe with the gold tone logo detail in the front doesn't look tacky but timeless.
Jimmy Choo Snake-Embossed Platform Sandal
Can you just imagine yourself wearing these shoes with a pair of skinny jeans or short dress? YOU WOULD LOOK DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. Jimmy Choo shoes, enough said.

Prada Cervo Bag
I'm not a brown leather type of girl but this bag made from deerskin leather with calfskin leather handle and goldtone hardware makes this bag an exception. This bag is versatile and can be used during the day running errands or going to work.

David Yurman Diamond & Sterling Silver Knot Ring
This ring is from the Rio Knot Collection. This graceful exuberant design shows the signature look of a David Yurman piece from the sterling silver cable with a loop of pave diamond. With this ring almost $2,000 It def is on the "best of the best wish list"

RADO watch
Freshman year, I got a Movado watch for XMas. I thought I got the best of the best of watches and nearly died from happiness. My father than laughed and explained me that RADO watches are better. He currently has one that is scratch proof and then i realized his watch put mine into shame. This high-tech ceramics, sapphire crystal, and platinum color with 64 diamonds is a watch that meets perfection.
Oscar de la Renta Illusion Top Dress
Why do i like this dress? because I can see Blair Waldorf wearing it. This dress is made from Italian fabric with a sheer layer over a sweetheart-neck lining and a full cloque skirt. I like the jewel neckline with the fitted bodice with ruching at the waist. It gives off that natural waist look.

Tory Burch "Panzi" Sequined Shift Dress
Tory Burch
I love love loveee when Tory Burch uses sequence and rhinestones. She never makes it look tacky or cheap, which usually happens when you make a whole garment out of sequence.

Laundry by Shelli Segal Beaded Choker Mini Dress
Laundry by Shelli Segal

Shelli Segal was my favorite designer in 8th grade. I wore these tan corduroy pants with sequence butterfly with crystals flowing down my leg. I literally thought they were the best pair of pants I ever owned. (They sound tacky, but they made me feel so fashionable in middle school) I would rummage through the racks at bloomingdales hoping to find Laundry pieces at that age. Once I saw this dress, it reminded me of why I loved this designer. This mini dress offers a futuristic look at party girl chic from this geometric dress.

Vera Wang Rhinestone and Lace Bib Necklace
I absolutely love the new trend of bib necklaces. This Bib necklace has different size and shapes of rhinestones with the delicate touch of lace makes it easy to wear. You can wear this with a simple shirt and jeans or a strapless black dress. So it wearable during the day or night. Hair up or down.


Hermes
Hermes Reversible belt in Black calfskin with a silver plated buckle. Could you imagine wearing a $1,000 belt?


so anyone who has gone shopping with me this year knows what I've been prowling for... A faux fur vest. I was at Nordstroms with Mollie and this lady walked by us all dressed in black with a Red Fox Faux Fur vest we both nearly just stopped and stared at her. She looked so chic and young and she prob was like 40. Funny how it's so hard to find this vest when I feel like I used to see fur vests all over the place when I wasn't looking.

So that's my list for now, fashionistas. Of course there's more... But until then, here's my wish list for the month of June.

XoXo,
