top 5...thursday.

so, this is going to be the top 5 shoes that i must buy now. clearly more immediate than the average top 5 favorite things...that usually last a lil' longer...but i want these now and im going to share that with you.

1 - wanting these so bad right now...and i will get them, because they are fabulously mossimo from target.
2 - im rather enjoying these zipper shoes from steven, that im sure i will only wear for a season - but it will be one beautiful season.
3 - any kinda toms shoes are fabulous, really, but im loving their new ones with laces. i want to buy a ton - what with their amazing one for one thing they do. *side note: i get made fun of cause i love their commercials everytime i see them...so heartwarming!
4 - of course, as you know, i love me some lamb.
5 - i am also buying these converse on my trip to target.

fashion time.

my latest venture to my gmail has led me to urban outfitters' sale...here's my shopping list:

wanderlust.

back from vacation and in wanderlust mode.
and i dont know why it has taken me this long to do a norway wanderlust, considering norway is my all time travel obsession that has yet to be actualized. *side note: ive traveled a lot and i have no idea why i have yet to visit norway, being that its #1 on my list and i have a town full of relatives and i started my norway travel fund (of $20) when i was 11.
sigh...some day.
faux day shall be today:

i would visit all of the "so-norway" towns.

i would not (hopefully) be confused by norwegian restrooms.i would celebrate the culture the non-tourist way. i would eat smörgåsbord pretty much every day. (yes, i know its originally swedish) i would take a picture with all the vikings. i would explore the (neutrally)-colorful bergen.i would add to the sign at trollstigen (the troll ladder).
i would send home loads of postcards in ginormous excitement. i would stand on the wedged boulder at lysefjord. i would judge my next destination by wooden signs - cause i love me some village signs. i would enjoy some last day dessert of kransekake. i would fly home in my new hoodie.

top 5 wednesday

so, i stole an idea from champagne and marshmallows and i give her full credit!
she's started doing a top five tuesday and i love it.
i have an obsession with making lists. theyre all over. i write at least one [of some sorts] a day and then i find 7 in a purse or pocket a month later. (usually, only half crossed off)
so, i think wednesdays will be my top 5 day. (altho, please forgive me if im off a day here and there...as i have a [slight] hard time sticking to dates.)...(also, my taste's change rather often, so i may have a top 5 of the same thing a month later *wink*)
today - my top 5 favorite handbag designers (stemming off of my last post)

1 - marc jacobs, by far.

2 - l.a.m.b.


3 - chloé



4 - louis vuitton (i prolly wouldnt buy one unless i came into a good amount of money, but they're so classic - its worth the money)
5 - b. makowsky (either a hit or a miss with me, but when its a hit - its a smasher)

lovin' a little l.a.m.b.

im having a l.a.m.b. moment. i love gwen stefani and her adorably awesome style. how can you not love her. ? years ago, i was stoked to find out she was designing her own line. and im still loving it today.
so, i shall dedicate this day to her and her magnificently beautiful pieces.
(also, side bar, since junior high, i have been in love with gavin. and its mainly a love of his insane talent. bush has always been one of my all-time favorites and he is never a bad thing to gaze upon. such a perfect grouping they are.)
again-also, i am oh-so fortunate to have this first exquisite bag, and i love it so.
