Took a long and much needed stroll through peaceful, barren grasslands with the boyfriend just to relax and unwind from hectic work weeks. Sometimes it's mentally rewarding to step away from the energies of the city and retreat to some place relatively abandoned and placid from the rest of the world. Some things I discovered from this: I can stare at duck-filled ponds and daydream for hours on end; I find desolate forestry wildly artistic; I appreciate simple, Internet-free days; walking aimlessly and chatting up a storm with my boyfriend about the most random things is the best feeling in the world; searing hot green tea lattes in large soup-sized mugs are the perfect remedy on chilly, windy days

Thankfully basked in some gratifying NYC weather today- a long awaited transition from the abysmal cold and ice. Apparently, there's a mild "solar flare" occurring at this moment, but I can't complain. My little airy dresses and shorts are aching to be taken out for a spin. Before stepping outdoors I completely underestimated today's warm beauty and looked a little obnoxious perusing the streets in this massive, teddy bear-like Wang cardi. I found myself purposefully sliding this off my shoulders in fear of boiling. Still, I love it so much that I couldn't take it off completely...just yet.

ps: RING GIVEAWAY COMING SOON!!!

alexander wang spring summer 2011

Wang seemed to have taken a new approach with the absence of black hues in this collection. There's an evident feeling of optimism and purity lingering amidst these looks, which I admire (and of course, can't wait to get my hands on).

The hooded romper that gave me another set of body-numbing heart palpitations at first glance.

This clutch never seems to escape my mind. I've seen this little treasure throughout numerous streetstyle blogs and it just makes me want it even more.

current wishlist ♥

Some way, some how...I need to own these pieces this summer. It's the upside (but more like downside) of being a fashion retail junkie. I need my fix, damn it! And I feel like these would properly suffice my current cravings.

Can't go wrong with these chunky knits. And I'm liking the neutrals too.

These shots of Stevie Dance were love at first sight for me. I'm not sure whether it's the quality and aura of these photos that I fancy so much or Stevie's personal gear. I know one thing though. That shot of her Balenciaga aviator/shearling jacket (in all its glory) has me speechless. And I'm crushing on her Alexander Wang leather shorts too. Aaaaah...so lovely. Maybe I can satiate my adoration for these shots by at least buying a pretty Diptyque candle. :)

wangster wishlist

After scouring through Opening Ceremony's site just to kill time before watching LOST's finale, I succumbed to immediate heart palpitations when I saw these. Granted that I've been swooning over his collection since it first hit the runway. But when you see the little pink "add to tote" icon next to each piece, it becomes a whole different story. I've been trying to be a little well-behaved fashion retail junkie these days in order to save up for my big move to London in September, but holy crap it's tough! Especially when it comes to Wang. Well, if I can't have it all, it's ok to buy just one right?

wild things worth having

On the wishlist:
Alexander Wang Leopard Diego bag and Acne Leopard Switzerland zip pouch
