The Want List: Temperate Tuesday



4 items I'm obsessed with lately:

1. Clown-collar blouses -- I couldn't find many good examples on Polyvore, but the grey Catherine Malandrino top shows it best: a simple, slim-fit blouse with a wide circular ruffle like on a clown's costume at the neck. I think they're wacky and delicate at the same time.
2. Winklepickers -- I am obsessed. I must have a pair of these super-pointy-toed men's boots. I am thinking black suede chelsea boots with a cuban heel and a long elegant toe...
3. Statement ring -- have been looking for a nice, large, shiny ring for a while. Any of these would suit my purposes: casual and dressy and unusual at once.
4. Striped blazer -- unfortunately I came to this one two years too late. All of the striped blazers now make one look like a comic book convict.

Awesome Find: DVF Lizzy Skirt

Heathers is one of my favourite movies. The first time I saw it, I fell in love with the skirt Winona Ryder wears in this scene with JD:


A high-waisted black pencil skirt with suspenders -- gorgeous! I've been looking for one for so long, but never found one that I quite liked. Then through Doe Deere Blogazine I happened upon Beacon Vintage, and saw this glorious thing:

The Lizzy skirt, by Diane von Furstenburg.  Exactly what I'd been looking for! And it was in my size!
I'll post pictures as soon as it arrives. But in the meantime, I leave you with this:
