Madewell Fall 2013

I am a huge huge J Crew fan. And by extension of ownership, I always thought I should also like Madewell. And I did, but just not as much as my "beloved" J Crew. But, Fall 2013 is a different story entirely. I don't know if they have stepped it up or perhaps I have just been wanting to dress down but this stuff is gold. So effortlessly cool, thrown together, off the cuff, but then again, you think, that's got to be somewhat calculated.

Harrow Bootie

I am borderline obsessed with my new Harrow Booties, that obviously I haven't even gotten to wear yet. Come on, Fall! I scooped them up at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale the first day of Pre-Sale for $299 from a regular price of $495. Steal. I am so glad I did seeing as they are literally all gone and not even on the Nordstrom website anymore. 

I would like them in every color however the steep price tag is a little problematic.

Who does not love a good candle? 

Since I started following multiple fashion/ interior design blogs about 2 years ago, I have constantly seen Diptyque candles, fragrances, and scented ovals being used, showcased, or recommended for gifts. I have been wanting a candle for quite some time but the $60 price tag deterred me. I figured that the $10 candles from BBW (Bath and Body Works) could suffice. But since my birthday is in roughly 2 weeks I decided to splurge and finally get the Diptyque candle of my dreams. 

Not only Roses but Rose Duet which is a combination of 2 popular scents: Roses and Baies (Black Currant & Rose) 

This was a limited edition candle for Valentines day but luckily for me, there are still some stores that have some. 

I have burned the candle twice and it fills the room. Truly. It smells like you are walking through the most fragrant rose garden ever. I would highly recommend these candles if you are feeling like splurging. They last for 50 hours, and are made in France. It is certainly a gift to make any hostess happy.
