Finally I have achieved adding a few of my much desired items to my closet.
1) Leopard Print Mohair shoes - booties to exact!
If you read my blog at all you know this has been an obsession for quite some time now. I am going through a phase where I am in love with heels and wedges, especially those that are fall inspired (aka boots). I am 5' 7" so I am lean towards the taller end of women, but nothing gives you more of a power trip than being even taller if you ask me. Can't talk down to me if I am towering over you, now can you?
2) Striped 3/4 Sleeve Shirt - (from Madwell, and basically everything they have is on my "must own" list)
I opted for the blue and white, though it came in a very attractive mustard and white stripe too. I wanted all three color options honestly, but this will do for now.

Fall = Knits!
Fall is in the air here in NYC. You know what fall means to me? Knits! I can't wait to get my hands on some new sweaters. Those with large cable knit patterns on the front are on the top of my list. I went to check out what Urban Outfitters had for their fall sweater selection this year and as per usual, I was not disappointed.
Drape Cardigan: Love the draped front and I am pretty crazy about the print. The vintage 70's feel of it really makes it.
Ecote Mohair Sweater: The neutral color of this sweater just seems like I would want to wear it every day. The basic element of the cut and the texture of the knit makes me really love this one.
Leopard Sweater: Urban had a similar style to this with a crew neck last fall. I am pretty sure I posted about it then....haha. Never got it though and I am pretty drawn to this one as well.
Cable Fisherman Cardigan: Large cable knit details are my obsession at the moment. I also love the oatmeal color of this sweater. Naming the color oatmeal almost sold me on the sweater alone.The brown leather buttons have an old fashioned appeal to them completing this old man sweater look that makes me feel like I would live in this sweater.
Cable Stitch Tunic: Large cable knit down front. Need I say more?
Cropped Pullover: Everyone needs a great cropped sweater. This one is pretty basic which I really love and the cerulean blue color is amazing!
Open Stitch Cable Poncho Sweater: Crochet effect with the large holes on this sweater makes it unique and it would make it a great layering piece. I am just loving texture a lot lately.
Elbow Patch Pullover: Elbow patches say "old man sweater" to me which for me is a plus. Classic feel.
Speckled Sweater: Liking the different knit patterns on this sweater and the mustard color is one of my favorite fall colors. It just says fall to me.
Pullover Sweater: Stripes again. I mean yeah, I probably don't have enough stripe sweaters. Probably.....

Fall Wish List: Madewell Edition
A few days ago the New Arrivals for Fall on Madewell came out! I have previously posted the look book for Fall a while back, but now the styles are available for purchase. Pretty exciting! Here are a few of my top favorites...I want, I want, I want...
Perfect Chambray Ex-Boyfriend Shirt - I have mentioned this before, so maybe it isn't so "new". Everyone needs a great chambray shirt and how can you not love that it's your "ex-boyfriends"?
Shapestripe Tee - You know by now I am obsessed with stripes. I love the faded stripes and the slouchy fit, I love the sleeve length.
Salt & Pepper Slouch Pants - Love the name again! I am all about pants this fall and slouch pants in particular (though its key though that there is still a slim fit). Who doesn't need pants with polka dots on them?
Leather Soundstage Shorts - How many times do I really need to say I want leather shorts (or more likely with my budget faux leather shorts)? Paired with some tights you can wear these through fall, winter, and spring.
Striped Lampost Sweater Dress - Stripes all over, enough said. Not to mention that sweater dresses are always unbelievably comfortable. You will live in your sweater dresses. People will start to comment "Didn't you just wear that?" Yes, yes you did.

Red, White & Blue
I happen to be a fan paring together red, white, and blue. This can either comes off as highly patriotic (yes the US has red, white and blue as their flag colors, but so do the French so I like to think of it as Parisian. I do like American flag pattern apparel too though....). Which is why I am in love with this skirt and sweater from Zara. The polka dot blouse I just love on its own but paired with a red or blue skirt it would look fantastic.
Recently checked out Zara's newly launched US website and I am obsessed. Love the nice clean layout! I love the product shots too. Downside? You can't shop online yet. I am hooked on stalking their site for now though.

Cat Call
Cat calls. We have all heard them. Those obnoxious, disgusting, crude calls from men towards anything that appears female. I say appears because I could be wearing sweat pants, have no make up on and have a sweatshirt with the hood up and still hear some jerk say "Hey, ya lookin' good mami." Hold back the vomit. Anyways, this is not a post about what jerks men can be so I'll get to my point now.
I was walking down the street today and saw a girl wearing bright coral lipstick, a mustard pencil skirt, and a light weight navy cardigan. I found myself staring at her when she walked by and wanting to call out, "I like your lipstick! Especially paired with the color of that skirt!" Would this be an appropriate cat call? I find myself wanting to do this every time I like what someone is wearing. So just so you know if you see a blonde girl staring at you on the street its because I like your outfit.

Had to put up this photo of Emma Stone's street style. Love her style (style influence of the day post to come from this most likely). Most likely I would be mentally hollering, "I like your outfit!" at her if I saw her on the street. Striped top, grey jeans, and a leather jacket? Love.

Between the Lines
I occasionally hint at or mention my obsession with stripes. Ok, I may mention it more than occasionally. Stripes are a classic print that I adore on dresses, skirts, shorts, pants, t-shirts...well anything. If you don't have something striped in your closet you need to work on that right now. I can't have enough!
Jil Sander: 2011 Spring RTW Collection - I loved this collection, like most fashion enthusiasts. Seems like this collection had an editorial in every fashion magazine this spring
Share with...le minor® dip-dyed tee: these hand dyed tees are an awesome take on a traditional french sailor tee. I love the aged look and the unique color combinations. Since they are dip dyed each of the shirts has a unique look
I am always on the look out for a striped pencil skirt and I am loving this one by Chinti and Parker
T by Alexander Wang striped drape long sleeve dress: enough said
Striped Tailor Top: I want this in a million colors (starting with black, blue, and red stripes as my first 3 options)
The Row: Resort 2012 Collection - inspiration

Stripes!
I love me some stripes. Can't ever have enough. Latest addition to my collection is this J Crew "Stripe Swingtime Sweater".
It is 90 degrees here in NYC, so I haven't had a chance to wear it yet, but once it cools off a bit this is going to be a wardrobe favorite.
