favorite things

Happy Friday and Happy Long Weekend ladies. Since it is so gorgeous in NYC now (and I am hoping that it stays that way!), this week's favorite things list is a random compilation of cute clothes I've found that I want.

First up, from Nordstrom:

Burberry Puff Sleeve Polo, $95 (how shocked are y'all that I found another polo that I want?)

Leifsdottir "Cloud" Skirt, $169.90
I found this skirt a while ago and have been eyeing it, but have never heard of this brand. Has anyone heard of it? How do their sizes run? We don't have a Nordstrom in NYC and I am a bit skeptical about ordering it off the internet without trying it on. It is such a beautiful skirt though and would be fun for brunch or all of the non-existant summer dates that I'm sure to have.

Next up, this Swiss Dot Voile Top from Marc by Marc Jacobs, $178

I adore Swiss Dot patterns. I have a white Lilly Swiss Dot top and a white J. Crew Swiss Dot dress, so it may look like something that I already own, but really, this would be branching out my wardrobe!

Next up, from J. Crew:

A great pair of go-with-everything heels, Juliet patent leather midheels, $99.99

Picture them with the skirt from Nordstrom.

A cute clutch in my favorite color:

Belle clutch, $69.99

From Anthropologie:

Coral Way Dress, $188

From Vineyard Vines:

Women's Polo Dress, $125

A polo and my favorite color. Shocking.

Ok ladies, I have a confession to make. I hate Valentine's Day. It's actually a childhood trauma for me and I never got the point of the holiday. However, on February 15th, I had open heart surgery that saved my life, so I always get a little sentimental when I see all the heart stuff this time of year. (There was a very high chance that I was not going to survive the surgery and everyone told my parents not to get their hopes up and my healthy heart can have its first legal drink this year!) In honor of this and the fact that today is the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women Day, I've decided to make today's favorite things post dedicated to all things heart-shaped and Valentine's themed.

To start things off is this adorable and not cheesy looking heart paperweight for $28 from Kate's Paperie.


Up next is a 2 pack thong set from Hanky Panky at Nordstrom.

For anyone who wants to try their luck, the Blue-Eyed Bride, is giving away a pair on her blog!

Next we have a tin of Valentine's Day Hot Cocoa from Crate and Barrel that turns pink! On sale for $1.95 now, it is a steal. The little tin is adorable and would be a cute extra to throw in someone's gift.


While we're on the subject of edibles, let's take a look at these dessert plates for $24.95 from Red Envelope. I don't know if y'all have picked up on this, but I'm a little obsessed with baking and love cute dessert plates and serving pieces, so I am a little in love with these plates that are made to look like conversation hearts.

If you think these plates are cute now, wait until you see how darling they look when they have some pink frosted cupcakes on top of them!

For the girl who loves her accessories, here are four adorable pieces:
The Coach Scribble Heart Neckerchief Scarf ($58)

The L. Erickson Wild Hearts Ribbon Headband, $32 at Calista Cove

Since every girl loves getting something in a little blue box, here is the Elsa Peretti Open Heart Pendant, $455 at Tiffany & Co.

Now I know what you're thinking- isn't the Elsa Peretti open heart a bit redundant and doesn't everyone and their mother already have one? Absolutely. However, I love the stone collection and these three little hearts are so adorable and the colors are great.
At $795, this is the priciest item on this week's list: the Silver Leather Marc Jacobs Love Clutch from one of my favorite stores, Plaza Too.

I tend to go for more conservatice pieces and this is not my style, but if you could make it work, this would be cute with a black outfit.

Lastly, is this Clinique Love Long Last Glosswear set for $25 from Nordstrom.

For four glosses, the price is great, and as a bonus, they come packaged in an adorable pink heart box that you can reuse afterwards. How cute would it be to mail someone cookies in that box? Ok folks, I'll stop with the baking talk now.

SHOES!

One thing that I am known for is my obsessive love of shoes. I have tons. Literally. When I moved, more space went to my shoes than anything else. The Southern Starlet has asked for my help in finding a pair of green shoes for the NKOTB concert, and how could I say no to such a worthy cause? Here's what I've found:


Jane Suede Ballet Flats from J. Crew. Available in Kelly Green. $98



Jack Rogers Navajo sandals in Green Ostrich- $88.95 at Nordstrom



Jeffrey Campbell Posh Peep Toe Pump- on sale for $47.90 at Nordstrom



Loeffler Randall Olive Leather Peeptoe Pump- $111.99 at Plaza Too.
