Current Wishful Drinking: Fall Obsessions

This morning, I sat down with a list in front of me.  On that list were seven (or eight, depending on whether you include shoes as one item or two) currently coveted items I have been dreaming of all autumn.  I was supposed to whittle the list to just one amazing, expensive, must-have thing. 

I couldn't do it.  Could not choose just one.  I am a terrible whittler.  I have to have all of the too-wonderful wardrobe additions featured here.  They all fill my head with happy thoughts and daydreams about the places I could wear them, which is pretty much the main criteria for Current Wishful Drinking.  That and having a price tag which would make it okay to consider purchasing only while occupying a very...specific mindset. 

The See by Chloe and Rebecca Taylor crepe dresses inspired by similar styles from the 1940's are just dying to be worn beneath the soft leather and shearling of the Lot 78 aviator jacket.  To say nothing of how instantly cool anyone in an aviator jacket looks.  The Miu Miu heels are so pink and sparkly they would make even the most basic ensemble look playful yet fashion-forward.  And that blanket coat from Matthew Williamson?  I, like most women my age I'm sure, am cursing my five year old self for not saving my mother's late 80's, identical version from meeting its' destiny at Goodwill.  Remember how soft those things were?  I want to wrap this one around me at work and when people accuse me of "curling up in a blanket" instead of "working" I'll point out that it is actually quite a chic item of clothing.  Of course, scent is the strongest sense tied to memory and the Fan di Fendi fragrance from Fendi captures the crisp, spicy and woodsy feeling of autumn like no other. 

Each and every one of these clothing items can be purchased from Net-A-Porter.  The shoes and the fragrance can be found at Nordstrom's.  Although if you can afford all of these things at once I am so beyond jealous I don't even know why I'm helping you track them down. 

Your Golden Girl,

Olive
