What I Want Right Now - Ear Chain

I'm seriously considering getting a helix piercing just so I can wear an ear chain like the ones above. I really love the style but I'd probably prefer them with more/longer chains and in funkier colours. I already have my lobes pierced twice but the only thing I don't like about getting another piercing is the required maintenance afterwards.

I would love to find one that doesn't require another piercing like the one below which just hooks over the top over the ear but no such luck as yet. If any of you knows where I can find one or you make jewelry and you're willing to do a customized one for a reasonable price, please let me know!

What I want right now - Striped Blazer

Ok, so here's the deal...I love blazers...and I love stripes. Put them together and I'm in total outerwear heaven. I prefer big, bold stripes that you can you can spot from a mile away but I can also appreciate the chic simplicity of subtle stripes.

I've had a thing for striped blazers for a long time but I hadn't fed my lust in a while when I stumbled on Captured Lives' blog and saw a photo of her wearing this wonderful vintage one.




That pretty much instantly reignited my desire and now I really want one again. So off I went a huntin' for striped blazers available online and I found a few of them ranging in price from under US$20 to a little over US$100.

I probably still won't be getting one any time soon but sharing with you helps me feel a tad better. Just a tad...

What I want right now - Tie Neck Blouse

When it comes to blouses, I'm often attracted to those with romantic details such as ruffles, lace and bows. My latest obsession is the tie neck blouse.

This menswear inspired look is made more feminine by making the bow tie flouncy so that it drapes beautifully. Chic and versatile, this look can be worn so many ways. For example, it can be dressed up with a pencil skirt and pumps or more casual with a great pair of jeans. The look just oozes sophisticated sex appeal!

Although there are many different styles, I have yet to see a tie neck blouse that I didn't like. I stumbled across and instantly fell in love with this pretty one from MoxieBee.

This one takes the tie neck a bit further with the additional gathered fabric details. It comes in three pastel colours; yellow, pink and blue and is on sale now for less than US$30!

What I want right now - Owl Pendant

For the last few weeks I've been stumbling across owl pendants on various online stores. While they've been around for a long time, it's only now that I've become rather infatuated with the little creatures and now they're high on my list of things to get. In Barbados, we don't have many things like this here so when I find stuff like this online, I have to get them!

With their huge round eyes and upside-down pineapple-shaped bodies, I think they're just the cutest things you can wear around your neck. My favourite is the articulated kind (like the one below), because really, if you're going to wear an animal around your neck, why not let it move around a bit?

Is there anything that you want right now?
