Etsy on the List - Carry On Luggage

My husband has this rich brown leather carry on bag which was made in England and needless to say I am quite envious (ok down right jeal). And I want to upgrade my carry on attire. I just bought my one good handbag for the winter but this is on my list! (That is until my husband springs for my Louis travel case ..... yeah right!)

So I am jonesing for some new winter wear and here are the things I have my eye on. (Psssst BTW I purchased the Lirola wrap dress and I am waiting for it to arrive. Yeah!!!)

My Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday. Happy Birthday to me.

My fiance and I celebrated by going out to my absolute fav restaurant here in Philly, Buddakhan. We were also celebrating our engagement anniversary. (Yesterday was quite eventful) We marked that by going to the county offices and applying for our marriage license.

Usually I buy myself a birthday gift each year but with our upcoming nuptials, August is just a terrible month budget wise. We have so many wedding related expenses that my birthday gift will just have to wait. ;(

But if I could get myself something right now it would be one of the shirts from roselabiche. And to boot she has free shipping for the entire month of August!!! Now I really have a pouty face.

Coco - $69

Frou Frou - $69

Delicias - $69

On the List - Sparkly Bag

So I have been over the top thrilled with my new skinny jeans I got this week from Madewell. (Call me late to the bandwagon.) As I rocked them with my white summer sweater and silver sparkle sandals, I thought how perfect it would be if I had this bag I have been eyeing to go along with it. I think this is a cute summer bag that goes so well with jeans or cute shorts.

IndepedentReign - Structured Mini - (Sand Canvas - Clear White Sequins) $23

On the List - Etsy Sweets

I should do a whole feature on the various food products listed on etsy. I have been dying to try the following items from the seller whimsyandspice. Everything looks so tasty and tempting it was hard to narrow it down to a few because I want the whole darn store!

Hazelnut Chocolate Whisky Sandwich cookies -$9

Brown Sugar Gingerspice Shortbread Cookies - $8

Homemade Chocolate Marshmallows - $6

On the List - New Feature

I decided to start a new feature and highlight items that are on my short list of items I seriously want to buy. The list constantly being reprioritized and some items sit on the list a long time while I debate back and forth whether I should splurge on the item.

Here is one that I think is very stylish, simple, clean and versatile. I can see myself sporting this to a number of different things. For all those reasons I have had my eye on it a while. Sometimes I like to marinate a while before making a purchase, which is why shopping at the mall is sometimes a slow process for me.

I am sure that I will stop hemming and hawing and add it to my cart eventually but for now its "On the List".
