CRAVINGS: ready for Spring

Sooo, I have a confession to make. This past week, the weather showed first signs of Spring, and guess what I did? LOTS of shopping … But hey, it’s a new season and a little wardrobe update was far overdue, so it is all good. Plus, I think these items will really have me ready for warmer days. The postman will have fun running up and down the stairs to our office, delivering all the goodies, and I’ll have even more fun unwrapping the boxes. Until then, I leave you with today’s cravings, which include a few items that will soon no longer be cravings (hint hint: the Le Specs runaways luxe) ♥ happy Sunday!

1. About this bag … I think this is probably the 3rd time I’ve included it in my cravings, and am actually surprised myself that I haven’t caved. However, last week – full of determination – I walked into the Valentino boutique here in Vienna. Turns out the color I want (P45) is sold out everywhere. Why do I always wait until it is too late? The smaller version is still available, but I want the medium, as it is even big enough to work as an every-day-bag. If any of you happen to spot this baby, please let me know!

2. For the past 2 months or so, I’ve been using this blush by Bobbi Brown (called “brightening brick”) and seriously love it. Such a nice change from my usual bronzer and the perfect fresh pink for Spring! Do any of you use the brightening brick?

3. When it comes to white pants, I have so much respect for everyone that can pull those off. Kathi is one of those people, and seeing her in the office, looking perfect in those white skinnies all the time, has me wanting some as well. That’s why I decided to ordere this pair by Topshop last week. At least 50€ is an acceptable price for my first go at white denim in year, and hopefully they’ll look as good as I imagine them to!

4. How adorable is this top by Isabel Marant?! Unfortunately a bit expensive, so I opted for a more affordable version of the top by ZARA.

5. My Alexander McQueen scarf has been getting an awful lot of wear lately (not that that is a bad thing) and I spotted this beauty on sale. Still trying to stay strong and spare my credit card the pain, but it would definitely be easy to splurge at 40% off…

6. Last Summer, I fell for Le Specs sunnies. For some reason I was fed up with spending tons of money on designer glasses (even though I still love those just as much), and it was so refreshing to find a cool pair of sunglasses for 40 or 60 euros. The runaways are my go-to pair, and when the Le Specs runaways luxe came out a few weeks back, I had to have them. Said and done, they are now on their way to me.
