Windfall Wants

So on pay day this month I'm going to be getting a little more than usual.

Let's be honest, I'm either going to put it directly into the bank (I'm ADDICTED to saving, and have been since I was wee) or going to put it towards the laser eye surgery I've been talking about for at least a year (sorry friends!).

However, it got me thinking. If I had got a much larger windfall, say, a few thousand dollars, what would I spend it on (frivously, of course)? Here are a few pieces I haven't been able to get out of my head. What would you buy if you were forced to spend a pretty penny?

Christian Louboutin: Pigalle - $625

Mulberry: Alexa - $1500

Burberry: Mid-Length Cotton-Blend Military Trench - $795

Topshop Dresses for Spring

Despite the fact that today is the coldest day of the year (or so it feels like with our mild winter, and the current wind chill), I'm already starting to think of spring. Spring dresses that is! I always pick up one or two additions to my closet of dresses, and it's time to think about what my pull will be this year. Here are three options from Topshop. They recently started selling through The Bay in Canada, and while I do feel that the prices here are a bit high for the quality you get, they certainly do have some fun stylish pieces.

TOPSHOP: Betty Bloom Hourglass Dress - $66

TOPSHOP: Pleat Midi Shirtdress - $90

TOPSHOP: Structured Skater Dress - $84

Bib Detail Cut Out Maxi Dress

Pretty white maxi dress! And it's on sale. Under $40! (So I bought it!) Let's see how it fits when it gets here. Oh, I am excited!

Sara Berman White Broderie Anglaise Dress

I have such wants (for white dresses).

White Lace Scallop Dress

Picked up this fantastic pretty dress in Palm Beach last week. I wore it to both a Passover brunch, as well as an Easter dinner. That's just how I roll. If you're in the States, check it out. It fits like a dream, and shows just enough leg to still be sexy (while its looser shape keeps it classy). Love it.

White Wear

Love this season's new white offerings from BCBG. I featured my favourite white dresses from last year here.

BCBG: Emmie Chiffon Applique Dress

BCBG: Lola Eyelet Blouse & Shannon Eyelet Skirt

Jason Wu Bow-Embellished Silk-Faille Dress

Things this dress would be good for:

Being Classy

Looking Pretty

Feeling like Audrey Hepburn

Showing someone up at their wedding 

(Obviously you would only do this if she slept with your boyfriend, otherwise it would be completely inappropriate)

I was going to also say eating brunch, but then I remembered that I need ketchup with my potatoes, and that I'm clumsy.

White Dress, Chole Style

Already looking forward to spring? If Chloe's 2010 Spring collection is any indication towards the way that the spring style will trend, I'm going to be a very happy girl! How fantastic are these ladylike white dresses? I can't wait.
