#WishListWednesday - Christian Louboutin, Aritzia, Zara


I apologize for the hiatas. Velle and I have been soaking up the sun at this fabulous resort for the past week.  After some much needed R&R, we’re back and ready to get this blog going. This picture does not do this amazing beach any justice. This is the most amazing beach I've seen with crystal clear turquoise water.
Our goal is to get this blog up and running asap! Please bare with us, with clashing schedules and never ending hobbies and activites, it gets difficult to keep up with the blog.
I first came upon the #WishListWednesday posts from Hollyannaeree and thought this would be such a great idea to share my weekly wish list and for you guys to get a better perspective of my personal style.  I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that I’m always wishing for or wanting something ALL THE TIME! It’s so bad, my wallet hates me for it.  This is what happens when you’re a girl!
 
On today’s list there are a couple of items that are more of a splurge for me.  It's kind of ironic, when I was younger I was much more into brand names and designer items then I am now.  Now, I always find myself hunting for the best bargain. 
I can’t seem to justify spending $500+ for shoes…I just can’t. I rather spend that money on a trip somewhere. I enjoy putting my money towards experiences rather than material items. With a house on the way, I have to budget my money for much more important things like furniture now (which I’m looking forward to decorating my home!).  But c’mon, what girl doesn’t love a pretty shoe!

 
 

$1045
These nude Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps are super adorable. I LOVE anything with bows. With a 5” heel and no platform, I can imagine these shoes to be very uncomfortable. Correct me if I am wrong though! If you have these pumps, let me know how comfortable they are.  I can see these pumps amp up any outfit.  I am afraid that when I do buy a pair, it’ll be the first of many – maybe that’s what’s stopping me from purchasing a pair…
 
 
 
 
$365

At $365, these sound very reasonable to me that give me this itch to buy them. They are too freaking cute! I’ve actually be on the hunt for the perfect pair of espadrilles. I love the woven detail on the front of the shoe and the wrap around laced ankle straps. This was another item I seen from Hollyannaeree. For now, I will continue to admire these shoes.

 
$59.90
 
I don’t know where I was, but I jumped onto the military and leather combination trend a little late. Everytime I seen a jacket I liked it was either not worth it for the price or they didn’t have my size! I came across this kids version on Zara the other week and I knew I had to have it. The jacket is on order, I can’t wait to try it on. I ventured into my nearest Zara when I seen this online, but I guess the spring/summer collection took over before I had the opportunity to try it on. I ordered it in a kid size 13/14 years. I’m crossing my fingers that it will fit! I know the hot weather is approaching us fairly quickly (some say not quick enough) and I won’t be able to really wear this jacket any time soon but I know military and leather isn’t a trend that’s disappearing anytime soon. I’ll have to store it in my closet for next fall!
 
$135

Here it is again, the leather sleeve trend that I just can’t seem to get enough of. Even at $135, I’m not sure I want to spend that much on a jean jacket and faux leather sleeves. I think the jacket can add a great edgly look to any outfit.

That’s it for this week’s #WistListWednesday. Stay tuned next week for Velle’s wishlist!
