Time for a Classic: Coach

I remember a few years ago when Coach bags were EVERYWHERE.  Do you know the ones I am talking about?  I mean the ones that said COACH all over them.  They shouted it.  Announced themselves to the world.  I will admit, I wanted one.  I really did think that my life would be complete if I could just get my hands on one.  And I did.  And I did really love that bag.  But then a little time passed, and I realized that that bag just wasn't really me.  I have never been a huge logo kind of girl.  I don't like walking around looking like a living billboard.  I might find a piece of clothing that I love, but if it has the designer's name emblazoned across the front, it does not come home with me.
Now, there are exceptions, of course.  Louis Vuitton's iconic monogram and the Chanel name are two brands I would gladly carry!
Anyway.  Back to Coach.  I love that they have reissued some of their classic designs.  They are chic and timeless, and I love the twist on some of them, with their updated colors.

Fall Wish List

Well, it's here- Friday. Thank God; this week it couldn't seem to come soon enough. This weekend we are heading down to the beach; this will be the first time all summer that we've gone. This is a far cry from our usual summers, where we have always spent at least a week at the beach on vacation. In fact, I think this is the first time ever that a summer vacation went by without a single trip to the ocean. But we will fix that tomorrow. Then Sunday we are heading to the local movie theater for a showing of To Kill a Mockingbird.  I am really looking forward to this, as the Cat has never seen this movie nor has she read the book.  I love Atticus Finch. (I love Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch.  Hell, I love Gregory Peck!)
In honor of the fact that I needed a light cardigan to throw over my sleeveless dress yesterday morning as I headed over to work, I thought I'd share with you some of the items on my fall wish list.  (The word WISH is heavy in play here, as some of these pieces are way out of my price range.  But hey, that's what stores like Zara and F21 are for, right?!)

Fall Wish List

Hive & Honey beige sweater / Dorothy Perkins loose shirt / Loose shirt / 3.1 Phillip Lim line leather jacket / Orla Kiely coat, $740 / J.Crew military field jacket / Tory Burch plaid skirt / Cole Haan buckle strap boots / Kate Spade pull on shoes / Old Navy round cap / Coach purple purse / MICHAEL Michael Kors purse / Giles & Brother hinged cuff bracelet / Humble Chic moonstone necklace / Hive & Honey wide bangle / Hive Honey bracelet / Hive & Honey chain jewelry / Tory Burch tech accessory


Okay, I left one piece off of this list that I have not been able to get out of my mind ever since I saw it over on A House in the Hills.  I am in love, in serious, serious love, with this dress.

It is perfection, is it not? And sadly, it is sold out. Anway, I hope you have a fantastic weekend! Any plans?
