Musings of a City Girl

House of Harlow 1960

Abalone Station Necklace

Color: Multi (more colors available)

Retail Price: $150

The first musing of the new year! I have been MIA from my blog, but trust me I am still stalking my favorite online shops and obsessing over those special pieces I would love to have (in my dreams at least ha ha ha). My latest victim is this aztec inspired House of Harlow necklace. The black version has been on my wish list for months but I am really digging its colorful sister. This piece would add some spice to any outfit, and with that price tag it had better add some spice for many years to come.

The Queenie

How hot are these peep toe ankle boots? I went over to the Sam Edelman website to investigate after Kim Kardashian tweeted a picture of her rocking these boots. These babies won’t be available in stores until November, but I’ll be daydreaming about the gunmetal booties until they hit the shelves.

Totally Turnlock Watch

Color: Black (more colors available)

Retail Price: $ 250

I am not a fan of bracelet watches but this one landed on my wish list. It is stylish and functional (well maybe not that functional since you can’t just look at your wrist and know what is the time). The watch reminds me of “Inspector Gadget” in a way ha ha ha. The turnlock is what takes this watch from blah to cool.

Note: Doing wish lists keeps me from buying things. Isn’t that odd? It’s like therapy for my shopaholic ways ha ha ha. That is what lead to musing of the day…

Dreamy  Logo Pocket Pouchette

Color: Rust

Retail Price: $298

Why are we attracted to things we know will never work for us? The 6″H x 9″L x 3″D handbag is not large enough to fit all of the stuff I carry around. I also find handbags with logos splashed all over them to be in extremely low taste. Unless I receive the item for free, then it is fine ha ha ha. But seriously I don’t think the walking advertisement thing is very attractive. However, there is something that makes this bag very appealing. Maybe because the embossed logo is not so obvious. Cross-body bags are all the rage right now and the color makes a nice statement. To me it just has that cool aura just like the iconic designer himself…Marc Jacobs.

Three Chain and Flower Brooch Necklace

Color: Gold

Retail Price: $120

Gilt Price: $44

I will think about these babies for the 2-3 weeks it will take for them to get home. Usually items don’t take that long to ship from Gilt Groupe but I am willing to wait because of the money I am saving. If you are a fashionista that appreciates quality and likes to invest in pieces that will last for years, if not forever, this is a site you need to join. I love flower earrings so I could not pass on those Filigree Flower Earrings. Those purple gems make them even more adorable. I would pair them with a purple dress. Maybe not purple to not be so matchy matchy. Perhaps another color outfit without any prints. Something about that Three Chain and Flower Brooch Necklace screams vintage chic. I just need to find the perfect little black dress to pair with the necklace.

Christian Louboutin

Python Pumps

Color: Blue

Retail Price: $ 1,055

Christian Louboutin can do no wrong in my book. These pumps’ 4 inch heel isn’t the only thing that is killer about these shoes. It is also the python design. Made in one of my favorite colors and this is a shoe that I will daydream about for more than a day. The only nightmare here is the price-tag. Men take note: Diamonds aren’t a girl’s only best friend…so is Christian Louboutin.

Strapless Dress

Color: Purple

Retail Price: $385

If it wasn’t already obvious that I like bright colors check out this simple yet stunning purple dress. Mini dresses are great if you are short because they make your legs look longer. It hangs loosely below the chest and the simple stitch detailing adds just enough interest. I am also a fan of the sweetheart neckline. This dress has all of the elements of my favorite kinds of party dresses…except for the hefty price tag.

Pearl Ballet Flats

Color: Bone (more colors available)

Retail Price: $115

I love the pearl detailing on these leather flats. They look very feminine and delicate. The flats also look like they won’t kill my ankles either.

MAC’s Naked Honey Collection hits counters next week (June 11th, 2009). From the poll posted earlier in the week, it seems like this is the collection everyone is excited about the most. A couple of things have caught my eye.
