I am a girl who likes things. Pretty things. Shiny things. Black things. While I know that money sure as hell cannot buy happiness, I do know it can buy me things. That is ok in my book. Sometimes a girl just wants things. Here are some things I am loving and things I am lusting after.

Loving

Lancome Artliner Liquid Eye Liner: While I am not Taylor Momsen, I love eyeliner. I have worn it every single day since high school. Every. Single. Day. Ask my mom. I have tried all of the liquids, and I think I am ready to say this is the best.

Ray Ban Large Aviator, Gold Rims/Gold Mirror Lenses: Yes, I know I was beaming about my Prada sunglasses last week. These are my alternate pair. They are sleek, they match everything, and no one can see you checking them out. I may be developing a sunglasses problem, but I accept this. They offer no judgment. Gain five pounds and they still fit!

Sterling Silver Monogrammed “L” Necklace: It is simple, it is cute, it is conservative enough for work functions without being boring.

Oribe Anti-Humidity Spray: Perfect for DC summer. Just as good on dreary days. It keeps my mass of hair in check. Yes, it is expensive but I use Suave Professional mousse. It evens out.

Lusting

Alexander McQueen Crewneck Skull Sweater: I am currently obsessed with the whole skull trend going on right now. This is the pinnacle; chic and edgy. I can’t seem to find a down market replica. This is making me sad.

Jean Paul Gauthier Quilted Leather Jacket: Just look at it. It will be hard to look away. Perfection.

Calvin Klein Metal Heel Pumps: These are not practical. I know that. They also smack of 1996. I don’t care. They are high as hell but the platform makes them walkable. The metal adds some added excitement. I may have to buy these in black.

Michael Kors Square Face Rose Gold Watch: It is a whole lot of pink…and I know I could work it. I keep coming back to this. I am imagining it as an unexpected pop to a work outfit.

There we have it. Yes, it’s frivilous, but it doesn’t make it any less fun. And I give to charity. STOP JUDGING ME.
