1.) The first time I saw it my heart literally skipped a beat, and I've been visiting this amazing jacket online nearly every day since, making sure it's still in stock in my size and thinking about how great it would look on me and trying to come up with a reason to drop the money on it that won't leave me feeling incredibly guilty. So far the guilt is still beating the lust, but it's a close fight and I have a feeling I'll break down soon. Seriously -- how good is it? So good. Boxy faux fur chubby coat, $170, Topshop.
2.) My mom gave me this ballet-pink powder in the oh-so-adorable packaging for my birthday, and I totally love it. It's more of a brightening highlighter than a straightfoward blush (though it does impart a subtle pink sheen that shows up better the lighter your skin is) -- I swear it's practically magic how fresh and alive it makes your skin look, even at 6:30 in the morning. Benefit Dandelion face powder, $28, Sephora.
3.) Another pair of earrings to add to the ever-lengthening list of decidedly unreligious cross jewelry I'm desperate for. I like the diminutive size, slightly rounded-off edges, and dark glammy feel of the gunmetal studded with black crystals. Betsey Johnson crystal cross stud earrings, $25, Karmaloop.
4.) OK, I absolutely loathe Gwen Stefani and I always have (coming of age in Orange County in the late '90s and early 2000s, she was nearly impossible to ignore), but I was given her L fragrance as a birthday gift and I have to admit, in spite of the ire she raises in me, it smells completely amazing. It's super fresh and light, with notes of freesia, pear, sweet pea, and orange blossom in the mix, and I get compliments on it every time I wear it. Damn you for making me like you for something, Gwen! L by Gwen Stefani perfume, $57, Nordstrom.
5.) Not fashion, per say, but doesn't what you listen to have an influence over how you carry yourself? Both of these albums are in my all-time favorites (Highway To Hell lands firmly in the #1 spot on my list), and lately I've been running them on repeat on my iPod and rocking out extra hard on the freeway during rush hour. "Detroit Rock City" off Destroyer and "Love Hungry Man" off Highway are my current mega jams. If you do not own them already, hang your head in shame and then immediately go get them. KISS Destroyer, $7.97, and AC/DC Highway To Hell, $9.99, Amazon.
6.) Hello, my dream heels. The perfect shape and profile (I am pretty sure a 5" heel and a 1" platform is my personal Golden Mean of shoes), and how sick is that stud-encrusted heel? The good folks over at Steve Madden were even kind enough to do the studs in mixed metals, which means there's no constraints on what jewelry you could wear with these. Killer. "Tristano" suede platforms, $109, Steve Madden.
