WANTED. KNITWEAR
One thing that people don't always know about LA is how chilly it can get at night. Despite the sudden influx in heat, I have been craving cozy sweaters. I just can't keep up with this changing weather! It looks like I will have to wait until the sun goes down to pull out one of these (at least this week)...

WANTED. PALLAZO PANTS
I had so much fun in Santa Cruz this weekend. The redwoods, the beach, the wedding, I loved it all. We decided at the last minute to spend the night at my parent's house in Ojai, to break up the long drive home. I can't wait to get back and upload my photos from the weekend.
I've been eying these Topshop pants since this summer...
After seeing them on Carolina from Fashion Squad, I am craving them even more. They look comfy and effortless.
{I am always searching for ways to be comfortable and still look chic on the plane. These might be the answer}
PYRAMID SCHEME
Both my sister and I love anything in the shape of a triangle or pyramid. Maybe it's my parent's Egypt honeymoon photos we looked through growing up.While recently looking for triangle shaped jewelry for my sister's birthday present, I came across this lovely ring (which I ended up buying for her)...
Once I found the ring for my sister, I started to see triangles everywhere! I guess it was on my radar. There is some amazing triangle printed clothing and triangle shaped jewelry out there. My sister and I must not be alone...

WANTED. SHEARING JACKETS
Shearling jackets were all over the runway for fall, but at the $1,500+ price tag, that's a trend most of us would have to skip this season. Here are two chic, more affordable options I found on the web...

WANTED. FALL OUTERWEAR
I kind of despise "Pre Fall." Living in Los Angeles, it infuriates me to see fall sweaters and jackets in stores starting July while its 90+ outside. Especially when September in LA tends to be the hottest month.
Despite my dislike for quick retail seasonal turnover, fall is my favorite time of year. I love everything about it, the jackets, the layering the fall colors. I am seeing fall clothing everywhere and it's got me craving vests, jackets and coats. Here is what I've got my eye on...

WANTED. MORE CHEVRON
If you read Sweet Thing, I think it is clear by now that I love all things chevron. Examples here and here. I recently saw these two chevron items on shopbop and immediately added them to my wish list. Although, I might have to wait for them to go on sale. Sigh...
Loving the deco-ish clasp, and the attached chain strap!
This combines two of my favorite things, chevron and feathers. And it's the perfect length!

WANTED. PANAMA HATS
All I could think about after leaving the theater seeing Sex and the City 2 was the incredible vintage white hat Miranda wore in Abu Dhabi. The hat is perfection, the movie is another story...
Where could I find this hat? I went searching around the web and saw one quite similar on Kelly Framel of The Glamourai...
I will scour to find the exact match and trust me, when I do you will be the first to know where. In the mean time here are some very similar hats...

WANTED. SPRING NEUTRALS
It does not feel like Spring in Los Angeles. It has barely broken 70 degrees for weeks, months even. The average temperature should be about 77 degrees this time of year. Despite this unseasonable weather I am craving nude and white dresses. Maybe to will the weather to cheer up. I think white looks pretty great on everyone, but nude can be a tricky color on some.
