must have monday {1.}...

I love clothes. I love accessories. I love shopping. I love spending money. Basically if I could shop all the live long day, I would be one happy girl. I have always spent a crazy amount of time window shopping online, and when I was a broke ass college student, it totally sucked. Why? Because I was not able to purchase the items I fell in love with. As I was browsing through some of my favorite sites this morning, I realized that online window shopping still sucks. Why? Because even though I have The Job and am making some monies, I still cannot buy all the goodies that my little heart desires!

I have carts full of items I want...they are just waiting for me to click that little 'checkout' button. Alas, I can only buy a few things at a time. This weekend (and last weekend) I broke the bank with my shopping outings. Y'all can look forward to a picture explosion of my haul later in the week.

Now I present you with the first edition of 'Must Have Monday'. I must have every single item on this list...eventually. Enjoy...

{1.} 'Cream Confection Jacket'-Anthropologie

I cannot adequately express how in love with this jacket I am. It is SO amazing. I actually bought something this weekend that looks similar to this (in black of course), although it has a more military feel to it. I love the high neck and ruffles on this. It wants to find a happy little home in my closet, this I am sure of. This work of art hails from Anthropologie, it sells for $178.oo.

{2.} 'Infinity Scarf'-Botto GiuseppeI have a serious love affair with scarves. I have been swooning hard-freaking-core over all of the infinity scarves that are super in for fall. However, I do not swoon over how much stores are charging for them. This one is $215.00, granted it is cashmere, but still. I bought a totally overpriced gauze infinity scarf last weekend, and it pissed me off. What did I do about it? I went to JoAnns with my mama and bought some fabric, and she is currently busy cranking out some scarves for me. I am thinking about putting up some fabric choices and selling them for reasonable prices...anyone interested? Let me know!

{3.} 'Chilled Ripples Shell'-AnthropologieAre you all noticing a theme yet? Yeah, basically everything I currently 'must have' is from Anthro. Oh Anthropologie, why must you be SO cute and SO pricey? This top is basically the cutest thing of my life. I am thinking I can justify shelling out $118.oo on it. I mean c'mon...I kind of HAVE to have it to wear when I go to court with my clients. Yeah...okay I can't justify it. I still want it though...

{4.} 'Ruffled Cincher'-AnthropologieI am normally not a person who rocks trends. However, I think the whole belted shirt trend works for me. I have become obsessed with these belts. I love them like Katniss loves the boy with the bread. This one will very soon be mine. It is only $34.00! Hi. $34 bucks at Anthro? That is almost unheard of! Come to mama...

{5.} 'Dappled Granite Cardigan'-AnthropologieAnother thing I have fallen in love with are these cardigans. I love them in cardi form, and in vest form. I own like six of them. They are super cute, can be dressed up or down, and are beyond comfortable. This one retails for $78.00...which is basically crazy. This is another item my mom is working on. She has made me two so far in the most comfy fabric on the planet, also known as jersey. Once again I am going to post the finished project of my mom's sewing project, and she will be happy to craft you one for a reasonable price. Any takers?

What are some items that are on YOUR 'must have' lists? Are you digging the fall trends so far? Anyone interested in a custom made infinity scarf or billowy cardigan crafted by the one and only Mama H? Let me know in the comments section!
