My XMAS 2012 Wish List 

12/5/2012

4 Comments

 

One thing I really want is a proper blazer with elbow patches. I am just totally obsessed with it. I really need to free my inner middle-aged Englishman, but I don't know if I can do it on a budget. Haha.

I really like this Zara blazer. I've always wanted to buy something from Zara. Maybe I can beg someone to buy this as an XMAS gift. :P I think I can be quite convincing. Hehe.

Zara Houndstooth Blazer with Elbow Patches - $99.90

I'm also hoping to score a Cambridge satchel at some point in bright yellow and cobalt blue.
It's hard to find them under $100, but VJ Style seems to offer the best price.

I have as of yet to buy something from VJ Style. I'm very curious about them. Their prices are really good and I've seen some positive reviews by other bloggers. Perhaps this will be my first purchase.

Unfortunately, they don't carry a blue satchel, but I did find something a bit similar at ModCloth.

VJ Style Yellow Cambridge Satchel - $72.00

ModCloth Cobalt Blue Satchel - $60.00

I'm also looking for plaid.  I have an intense obsession with that pattern. I have mostly plaid pants and plaid dresses on my radar. There's one dress in particular that I've fallen in love with and I'm not really a dress kinda gal, so this says a lot. It's from Ruche and it's perfect. The colors aren't too loud, the plaid pattern isn't overdone and I can totally see how I could wear it in a rather un-ladylike fashion. Haha.

Ruche Plaid Dress with Velvet Trim - $55.00

I had never heard of Oasap until this year. They appear to carry a lot of the same items as Chicwish and Romwe. The prices are pretty much the same, i.e. moderate to very expensive. Oasap has great sales though! I bought three sweaters on sale over Thanksgiving for about $38 each.

Still pricey, but a steal for these particular sweaters. You can't really find good quality elbow patch sweaters for under $50. I bought an elbow patch sweater from another popular retailer and promptly returned it, because the patches were the same fabric as the sweater. It just looked cheap for the $70
I paid for it. The Oasap sweaters I bought had proper elbow patches.

Anyway, it was my first Oasap purchase and I'm already thinking about what to get next. I hope these plaid/checkered pants go on sale soon! I'm on a mission to add more colorful pants to my wardrobe!

I have an extensive wish list on Lulu*s, but I have as of yet to buy anything from their store. Right now, I'm totally entranced with these slipper flats. It's the pompous Englishman in me. I just love them. I'd also like to get some flats with studs or spikes. Sometimes I want something to "tear down" an outfit. You know, make it not as cutesy or girly. Studded/spiked flats would be an easy way to do that.

LuLu*s Laser Cut Smoking Slipper Flats - $42.00

Picture
Lulu*s Black Studded Oxfords - $29.00

My closet is devoid of holiday sweaters, so I think a few staple holiday sweaters would be nice, too!
Picture
Romwe Mixed Print Sweater - $62.00

Picture
ModCloth Bear Sweater - $140.00

Picture
ModCloth Gingerbread Cookie Sweater - $90.00

So, that's about it. We'll see how successful I am at grabbing some of these. Haha.

Have you started XMAS wish lists? If/when you blog about it, let me know! I'd love to take a gander!

This is a great collection of stuff! The plaid dress is so perfect! I love Zara's blazers, but they're so pricey. I did find one second hand a few years ago and wore it until it fell apart. Seriously, I wore it that much in a few years' time.

Haha. Yeah. That's the kind I want. *Sigh* That reminds me, though, I should check Etsy. Lots of rad stuff on there. I might get lucky! :D

Omg! Right?! That blazer would complete me. Hehe. I hope my partner doesn't read this. Haha. Maybe if I liken myself to a jigsaw puzzle and argue that many pieces are required to "complete" me, I won't get an angry death stare. :D
