Oh, Lita and Ostrich Bag...I want you.

Hey guys!

I REALLY hope I win this black ostrich satchel handbag off EBay tomorrow. I LOVE Ostrich Bags. It's one of my secret obsessions,really. This handbag is vintage and from Italy. It wont allow me to save or right click on the photo to show you guys what it looks like. From the picture, it looks a little dusty but I'm sure I can put a little leather cleaner on it to make it a little shiny and like new! It's in great shape and at a great price!

I have also been really obsessed with these Jeffrey Campbell Lita shoes in mint for a long time now. Seafoam green is my absolute favorite color and anytime I find clothing or accessories with that color, I have to buy it. It's such a rare color and you never get to see it on anything. I dont own a pair of Jeffreys but I hear they are comfortable and made of great quality! These shoes are about 5 inches tall and would put me at 6'3 with these on. My dream! I can wear these with high waisted jeans, with skirts, with shorts, with thigh high thin socks, with anything! They are so versatile. Olivia Vidato says I should just get them, don't overthink it and dont look back. I will trust her opinion and will just do it. I have nothing like this in my wardrobe and I cannot wait until these are in my closet! 

Girl takes a bohemian approach to the brown suede Litas. Very Cute!

More of a architectural feel. Pop of color in the handbag..very modern but I like.

Photos of some girls on the street wearing the Lovely "Lita" shoe from Jeffrey! Nobody really has the mint color, think its time for me to be the first...or at least the first online to wear them and take photos...

I've been dreaming about these shoes for months....

Happy Two Thousand Heaven!

I love the New Year! It encourages you to change your habits, do new things, and makes you rethink how you plan to finally get to your dream goals! I stopped making New Year's resolutions about three years ago because I felt like nothing was getting accomplished. I would start the change and within 2 weeks I would give up or forget about it. So what's the point? I feel like I get more done anyways when I don't make an actual resolution at midnight on New Years Eve. So far it has been working out great for me. So instead of resolutions, I'll tell you guys my goals I hope to accomplish for 2011 and show ya'll some of the clothing I'm loving in this New Year. If it doesn't get acheived, I won't beat myself up over it. There's always next year right?

1. Keep teaching myself how to cook. Cook more ethnic recipes! Buy more cookbooks! ( I already two this year!=an Indian Cookbook and 500 recipe plus book(which includes many ethnic foods)

2. Get an Internship for the Summer, preferably with a magazine and hopefully in New York Austin, Miami or San Francisco. I'm fine with staying in Atlanta too!

3. Visit Mexico City. I love traveling and M.C. is on the top of my list. I am absolutely in LOVE with Mexican Folklore Art, handmade items and Mexican/ Aztec architecture. I hear many stories about how cool and underrated the city is. StreetPeeper.com always shows the awesome street style of Mexico City, plus a vacation there shouldn't be too hard on my wallet. My friend Olivia and I are talking about renting an apartment in the middle of downtown Mexico City for about a month.

Nothing too far fetched right? Pretty realistic I say.

Had my first cupcake of 2011 already and obviously I was excited! Really excited that my afro hair can now go into a perfectly wrapped bun. White Chocolate Macadamia Cupcake with ultra high icing. YUM!

 Here are some of the stuff I'm dreaming about right now...

Jeffrey Cambell " One O One" $134.95

Military inspired wedges!

solestruck.com

Finsk $589 solestruck.com

I can't afford these shoes but they are nice to look at or at least dream about! Some people might be thinking these may be comfortable but promise they will be. I tryed on a similar pair on in the store and they were ridiculously comfortable, and I don't live in heels everyday. They're so architectural but simple

Gee Wa Wa $234.95 solestruck.com

Love Love LOVE these shoes! So weirdly cool! I love the heel and I would probably be 6'1 in these shoes!

Seneca Rising Pynes Romper $168 Nastygal.com

Anyone who has been reading for a while or at least personally knows me, KNOWS that I am a true lover of rompers, playsuits, onesie- whatever you want to call them! They are so playful, comfortable and can wear with just about anything. I love the styling of this look also. The color is beautifuI! need to pair some knee highs with a few of my rompers in my closet collection. 

Leopard Harem Pants $48 nastygal.com

I'm really into printed African esque baggy pants right now! I want at least 7 pairs by the end of March so I can wear them all winter, carry them into the spring and wear nonstop in the Summer. I'm all for Leopard. These are a dream.

Aztec Jumpsuit $68

Here's another one! African printed and a romper!? Need this for my closet collection! Not badly priced either.

Exposed Harem Pants $68 nastygal.com

These sheer harem pants are GENIUS! Perfect the summer. Layer underneath some crazy printed leggings. I can see it now....

I'm all giddy all over these things! I found much more stuff but we can save those for future posts! Enjoy your day, wherever you are in the world! Happy New Year!
