Wishlist Wednesday // Gap is so good right now.

GAP had a really slow moment for a minute there. Every time I walked in I was bombarded by black denim, and don't get me wrong, I love black denim. Let's get real though, black denim paired with really poorly tailored sweaters is no good.

But online GAP got some new arrivals and they are offering 2-day free shipping today and these newbies won't be in store until the 30th. I'm just saying.

1 // This plaid car coat is killing me right now. This beauty comes at a over-$100 price range, but GAP always has a good sale and this should be on your list if you want to jump on the plaid trend and a classic silhouette. 

2 // Sherpa-lined everything ever since I watched Friday Night Lights. Tyler and I BOTH want the classic Tim Riggins denim jacket, sherpa collar and all. This is the edgy motorcycle mountain babe version of it. 

3 // Let's talk about this parka. Oh man, I can't even talk about it because I'm speechless! All I'm going to say is that this baby runs large and it was featured in Vogue. Listen to Anna, she won't lead you astray. 

4 // I'm so drawn to marled red sweaters. They remind me of cinnamon tea and fire places. I mean. Plus the pockets could make you look cute or bunchy. It's worth the risk. 

5 // The color of this beautiful sweater is mushroom. You better believe the first thing I thought of was this one time in Germany my mom and I ate this delicious and creamy mushroom soup before a hike to mountain castles. It sounds really dreamy especially since it was rainy and I had a bag full of kinder candy. It was the dreamiest. 

You might as well pack this sweater for your next German mountain excursion. 

6 // This isn't from the GAP. It's from Urban Outfitters and I hate that place. You know that. But I want this sweater. Oh I want it so bad. Just click the link and look at it. You'll want it too. 

7 // I really like this take on the "GAP" logo tee. It's different and a little Madewell/J.Crew. You better believe I like that. 

8 // Who said you can't wear fall florals? Maybe Miranda Priestly but screw her right?

What You Should Be Buying // Some Fall Essentials

1 & 2 // Fall nail polish. I'm into dark, dark, I mean dark almost black berry nails right now, but I'm jumping on the grey nail bandwagon. I mean, basically if all runway shows during fashion week can rock the grey nail polish, I sure can right? P.S. I like Essie because the formula is 3-free and it lasts forever. I can wear a manicure with this brew for a week without chipping. 

3 (similar) & 4 (Similar) // Black skinny jeans are a must for me. Black denim should be a must for everyone. Plus, you can find pairs so nice and so soft that it's like you're wearing leggings anyway, and all BYU girls want to wear leggings right? #StickItToTheMan Pair your jeans with this buffalo plaid shirt a la Madewell and you're good to go. 

5  & 6 (similar, similar) // Um...these boots are another love/hate item. They are Sam Edelman, but I can only find this style and leather/color on Urban Outfitters right now. Help? In other news, this leather jacket from Gap is so bomb and so out of my budget, but bomb nonetheless.

p.s. if you know where to get those booties or shoes similar to them elsewhere, lemme know. 

Oh it's favorites time.

1. Not a link, but a moment. This weekend. I had a wonderful and wet drive up to Ogden on Friday morning. Ready to go get my dress fitted and to be blessed with the kind words of my mother and the wisdom of my father. On the way I got to stop for a visit at a new shopping center in Farmington. The snow was dropping so nicely and I made sure to turn on FM 100.3 because Christmas could be felt in the air. Then Tyler came later that night and we enjoyed today eating Chinese food, searching for the perfect eye shadow, eating more food, laughing at funny videos and old stories, and staying snowed in, because it was like a blizzard today. We were supposed to go back to Provo, but why go back when you don't need to and when you can stay cozy in your home? Plus, Tyler is suffering from some pretty bad PTSD after two car accidents, (I'm fine in the snow) so I felt like it would be best if we didn't stress his Southern California bones out. (Sensitivity and lack of jokes or criticism is the best way to combat this.) No one deserves that after a wonderful and relaxing weekend. And so. Tomorrow we make our way home. Rain or snow. I think we will be okay.

2. I was featured!

3. Powerful. Heartbreaking, but incredibly powerful. 

4. Eleanorisms. SO darling! I wanna be naked too E, I wanna be naked too.

5. The most perfect sweatshirt dress.  I say most perfect, but really...the price makes it slightly less than. I tried this on the other day. So flattering. So comfortable. So warm. And perfect with opaque tights and booties.

6. NAKED 3!?!?!

7. Just picked up Naked Basics.

8. Syvende

9. California lovin'. 

10. The only thing I asked for for Christmas this year. Besides my wedding. For our new home.

12. This look. 

13.  Really into these kicks right now.

Sorry this was late. I hope you are having a lovely weekend. Stay warm. Stay safe. Stay gold.

Wishlist Wednesday: The Usual

Why are so many people surprised about the rain and snow? This is Utah...you should expect Utah weather. I like to think of it as a blessing. A blessing from Mother Nature, God, whatever you believe. We should be happy for seasons and glory in them, because there is a season for everything.

Well, I have another wishlist for you. It's pretty eclectic and it's nothing really new, but hey, that's okay. Enjoy.

Dark Denim Shirts

My poor light washed chambray shirt is taking a beating...I wear it way too much, plus I want something darker for fall and winter. Pair it with a sweater and you're great.

A Sequin and Owl Sweater Please!

 How about this whole outfit?

I can instagram a better photo of this sweater. This picture does not do it justice. It's the most beautiful sweater ever made...okay that's an exaggeration, but it is pretty darn beautiful.

Wishlist Wednesday: iPhone Cases and Other Things

The majority of this wishlist is iPhone cases. I am already thinking about getting a new one. Good thing Christmas isn't that far away!

 Society 6 // 1, 2 

Society 6 has the best iPhone, iPad, and computer cases. I love seeing artists put their work on things that will be seen by everybody. There are so many options and everything is so unique. I would recommend checking it out. I can't get enough of the Up! inspired case. So cute!

Kate Spade // 1, 2, 3, 4

So I have an iPhone board on Pinterest, and the Kate Spade cases are what got me started. I wanted their "Eat Cake for Breakfast" case, but unfortunately, that one isn't on the market at the moment, so I settled for some other ones that I like just as much. Aren't they all just adorable? They come with a silicone lining too. Thank you Kate Spade for the beautiful things you design.

Now for clothing and other things!

1. A Gold Bar Necklace 

 

 I couldn't find the link to this, but if you type Gold Bar Necklaces in Google, a lot of results come up. Also, Etsy is full of cute jewelry like this.

2. And if you are a hardcore ring wearer, or if you're worried about losing your wedding ring (for all those married ladies...)

Urban Outfitters // 1

How CUTE is this? How cute? 

3. A New Scarf

4. Clothes like this for my future children...

 For the days when they want to look a little bit grungy and edgy. Yep I'm already dressing my children.

5.  These two tops.

ASOS // 1

Helmut Lang // 1

6. AND these BEYOND GORGEOUS shoes 

Jeffrey Campbell // 1

Oh my goodness, these are so beautiful. I want them in the weave and in black! Aren't they just perfect? Really though, Jeffrey Campbell never fails to impress me.

What have you been wishin' for lately? Do you have any great sites that sell adorable iPhone cases? I am also looking for cute backgrounds. Lemme know friends! Also, aren't you just loving the fall weather? It's officially here! You better be breaking out the cardigans!
