WANT: Harper's Bazaar February 2014

It's good to be in your 30's this month where Bazaar is concerned - that age definitely got the best stuff!  Everything on this page is allowed entry into my closet, except for those Tommy Hilfiger platform athletic slides, which...huh?

WANT: Harper's Bazaar February 2014

A new category of stripes I need to acquire - sporty!  And in my signature colors!  *swoons*

WANT: Harper's Bazaar February 2014

As I've mentioned before, Marc Jacobs has departed from Louis Vuitton and I have to say he went out classy.  This modern take on the classic LV "Noe" bag is perfect in every way.  If only I could move the decimal over one or two spots on that price tag...

Fun fact:  The original "Noe" design was at the top of my LV shopping list, but I bought another bucket bag instead that looked more modern but still had the classic monogram.

Speaking of Marc Jacobs, here's a quote from him that made me laugh since I tell everyone "sprinkles" is my favorite flavor of donut.  Maybe we'd get along better than I thought!

WANT: Lucky February 2014

Love these duo-tone slide heels!  Such a neat look, different from anything I've seen in recent memory, and in neutral colors you can dress up or down with.

WANT: Lucky February 2014

It's rare to find something that would make me darken the door of a Forever 21, but these heels might lure me inside!  I'm also intrigued by the belted scarf idea.  Gonna have to ponder that one.

WANT: Lucky February 2014

DVF isn't just the home of the wrap dress, they also put out great shoes.  I have fallen in love these bootie heels with the leather "lace" up, though I don't think I'd wear them to a real rock show.  Things get stompy there, you know, and I like my tootsies unbroken.

WANT: Marie Claire January 2014

Now I need to not only find a replacement brown leather coat, but also a blue one!

WANT: Marie Claire January 2014

They had me at "inspired by a bag of potato chips"!

WANT: Vogue January 2014

Marilyn Monroe's character in "Gentleman Prefer Blondes" is always excited to find new places to wear diamonds; I'm always excited to find new styles of watches.  Sometimes new styles are crazy or really hard to read or just silly, but this is a simple one I think I could get behind.  I'll take all the colors!

WANT: Vogue January 2014

I love the Prada coat on the right - so bright and happy with the rainbow of sparkles!  I cannot say the same for the bra...thing...that Prada put on top of it and other ensembles, both on the runway and in their ads.  Just silly, and (spoiler alert!) it won't be the last time you'll see it.  So blot it out of your mind, and concentrate on the joy that is the coat underneath.

WANT: Marie Claire December 2013

Lookie here!  The Marc Jacobs I saw in Elle a few weeks ago is available in two colors, both of which I am obviously in desperate need!

Also, cute background idea that you can still see the purse on top of.  Good job, Marie Claire!

WANT: Marie Claire December 2013

Sparkly elephant jewelry from Ann Taylor + L'Wren Scott's Banana Republic line = great combination.  I'll take both!

WANT: Harper's Bazaar Dec 2013/Jan 2014

As I've previously mentioned, I feel this issue of Bazaar is super awesome because it seems targeted right to me.  So many things that are already my signatures, and that includes this article.  I used to collect charm bracelets, and I still love 'em.  And who wouldn't want an awesome Harry Potter themed one like this?

J.K. Rowling explains above why she loves 'em.  I'll tell you that I love anything that tells a story and I love jewelry, so storytelling jewelry is an easy sell.  I first fell in love with a charm bracelet when I was a tiny thing and found one my grandmother had.  It had a wee locket and a ladder that opened, and I liked to play with it.  When I got older, my mother was into garage-saling and I would hunt for them when she took me.  I enjoyed imagining each bracelet's stories, just like Rowling does.

WANT: Harper's Bazaar Dec 2013/Jan 2014

I've long said that black is my signature color, and Harper's Bazaar had page after page just for me this issue!  (I suspect this is an unstated homage to Chanel, which is featured for its 100th anniversary.  LBD's for everyone!)

There's more, all of which I love:

And they've even got me set up for every age, though I would wear every bit of this at all my ages!

WANT: Elle December 2013

You think it's too late to pick this up for NYE parties?

WANT: Elle December 2013

What can I say - I like shiny objects!  I like that these look like packages wrapped in metal paper - so well done.  I also like the little lights they used here.

WANT: Elle December 2013

Wrap this whole page up and send it to me!  The baby pink loafers are divine (love the penny detail!), the cats eye sunglasses are adorbs, and what is this, the most rare of things, a Marc Jacobs purse that I adore???

WANT: Elle December 2013

This iPod accessory appeals to me due to my dual love of cats and art deco.  So I'm pretty sold, despite the fact that I have no idea what it actually does and I haven't yet found it anywhere online.  Maybe your iPod goes inside?  Or it holds your headphones?  I don't know, and yet I'm still fairly sure I need it.

WANT: Marie Claire November 2013

Classic shoe with a literal twist - I love it!

WANT: Vogue December 2013

I want all of it, every bit, more green!  Vogue featured a lot of green this month, maybe due to the holiday season, and I loved it all.  Mental note:  buy more green, buy ALL THE GREEN.

ETA: It's been noticed that things look a bit blue in the photo above, rather than green.  I promise I'm not crazy - the original is much more greenish.  Sorry for the confusion!
