What with 30th birthday gifts and my own wee mid-winter spending spree, I’m feeling a) flush with cool new stuff and b) resolved to keep my wallet in my bag and my focus in my closet, playing with and enjoying what I’ve already got. After all, who wants to be ravenous, buying willy-nilly? Or, worse still, more moved by the act of acquiring than the item being purchased? I don’t. But that’s just me.
All that said, of course I still have my eyes open! Here’s a list of things I’d run out and buy if there were no such thing as “enough”:
* Clog boots
First, I would run over to Refinery and order me up a pair of clog boots. Right now I’m really digging the medium heel ones, pictured below. Wouldn’t they be perfect thrown on with leggings and a fleece in Colorado? Wouldn’t they? These are by Sven (as they all are at Refinery):

* APC leopard pouch
Next, I’d be on to bird, where I’d snap up the APC leopard pouch. Why I haven’t bought it already is beyond me. Oh yeah, I just re-read the first paragraph. Now I remember.

* Nili Lotan dress
Back up on Court Street, you’d then find me at Diane T., admiring my shoulders in the Nili Lotan halter neck tie dress. It’s all the bow you need, while leaving the arms and shoulders bare, bare, bare.

* Scarf from AliKat NYC
For a final indulgence, I’d head to AliKat NYC. Have you ever been? This is a store I like to stop into regularly, as the sales girls are the sweetest, and the selection (apart from the Vince, Ella Moss, etc., etc.) can be unexpected. Especially when it comes to their scarves. The green woven one pictured below is AKA New York, but I’ve also loved ones by Vera (new, not vintage!).
