It’s my birthday week (the big day is Friday and yes, for some reason this year is somehow hard as it feels “old”). Every year- really almost every month and season and week- I make a wishlist. It’s part what I want, what I need, part who I want to be, and fantasy. For my birthday? I tend to go a little big! It’s like Christmas– but in May! This list will most likely evolve and change for the year, but it’s the start of something new and who and what I want to be. And while I know that there is so much going on and that that shopping can’t solve everything- I like to think that this list inspires you (and me!) to go after our best and brightest selves. We can’t solve anything if we aren’t filling our own cups. So- filling our own carts!

I posted a look in this yellow (sheer) knit. And I love it. The skirt was a bit of an impulse and yet know I want all the yellow knit to match and carry on the looks!
I love my fashion- but I also love my stories, and these fashion books hit the spot:
For some reason I can’t get these Madewell and Reformation jeans out of my head (and they are oh so dreamy for summer!)
I’m also dreaming of pedal pushers and all the ways to style them:
These lady like options from florals to summer tweeds to linen make me want to book a tea time:
And This ring was a gift and absolutely makes me feel like a grown up. I highly recommend:
I absolutely can’t stop thinking about this dress. The hem- and that train! It also comes in a green that’s usually not what I go for but is something I’m intrigued by!
Shop the floral here and the green here
Also on my lists? Dinos and classic bags from Coach. Carolina Herrera perfume (mainly as the bottles are shoes!). Quite a few vintage bags, dresses and more here and there. Ya know. IT ALL!
AS it turns out, I am not great at saying no to me. In some way, shape, time there is a high chance I will get all of these (or find something more fab to lust after). I try not to let my bad shopping habits get in the way of budgets, etc, but this is a time of year that’s hard for me. (Because I do want it all!). So. Over the months I may get it.
It may not be your birthday, but there are so many reasons to celebrate this month. What are you wishing for? Shopping for? Longing to be? What kinds of stories could we tell with all these wishes?
Here’s to yet another trip around the sun– and some fantastic picks!
