I love my new Wellington inspired Bottega Veneta puddle ankle boots (available at Bottega Veneta). They're simple, yet interesting. The chunky sole gives you a little extra height, while the large shaft allows you to show off your socks (I'm a sock fan). These puddle boots come in a variety of colors AND there's a taller version. I'm obsessed with Moschino t-shirts. This Moschino cow-print oversized t-shirt (available at Farfetch) is cheeky and fun. This Moschino This Is Not a Toy oversized t-shirt (available at Farfetch) is the latest version of the signature teddy bear print. Most of my tees are oversized Moschino t-shirts. They're high-quality and super comfy. I have been lusting over this Dior anorak (available at Dior) for some time. I have a brilliant collection of Dior boots and handbags, but this will be my first piece of Dior clothing - I'M SO EXCITED! This oversized, hooded anorak dons the signature Dior oblique motif, side pockets and a front pocket with a flap showcasing a CRISTIAN DIOR signature. Last Christmas, I received the Louis Vuitton pillow comfort ankle boots. This year, I asked for the LV pillow comfort mules (available at Louis Vuitton). Similar to the boots, these mules are comprised of monogram nylon with a soft down filling. I'm counting down the days till Christmas! I have wanted a pair of LV Archlight sneakers since they debuted. Finally, this LV sneaker is available in a color scheme/print that suits my style. These Louis Vuitton Archlight sneakers (available at Louis Vuitton) are black and white with the new graphic Louis Vuitton signature. LOVE!

The Raf Simons Teenage Dreams knitted jumper (available at Farfetch), has been on my wishlist for months - I'm just waiting for it to go on sale. I love this shade of pink. The boxy silhouette and oversized sleeves are perfect for layering over a white shirt. Hopefully it goes on sale before it sells out. I am obsessed with this look. The Dolce & Gabbana logo-printed top and the Dolce & Gabbana polka-dot cotton mini skirt (both available at MyTheresa and Farfetch). It's the perfect party outfit. The short, polka-dot skirt pairs perfectly with the sleeveless top. The logo-printed top has print on the back as well. A list of locations for the DG Tour, along with a SOLD OUT stamp. These two are at the top of my must-have list. I told myself no more sunglasses, BUT these Gucci oversized embellished pilot sunglasses (available at Revolve) are amazing. I love the pilot style and pastel colors. These would match the Raf Simons Teenage Dreams knitted jumper perfectly. I already have these Bottega Veneta stretch 90 mm mesh-panel sandals (available at Farfetch). I'm a little obsessed with Bottega Veneta this season and have been cheating like mad on Dior! These shoes are surprisingly comfortable. I purchased them for an event that never happened, SO they're still in the box waiting for the perfect moment to shine! Another Bottega Veneta purchase - The BV puddle rubber clog sandals (available at Bottega Veneta). These are just too much fun. They're kinda like designer Crocs! They're comfy and this shade of salmon- pink is gorgeous against sun-kissed skin. Side note - They run large, so size down.
I haven't posted a My Must Haves list in months! That doesn't mean I haven't been lusting over a few fabulous items. Now that we're getting closer to "normal" life and back to socializing, I'm working on my summer wardrobe and am feeling colorful. This Bottega Veneta padded Cassette shoulder bag (available at Farfetch) is GORGEOUS! This bag is taking over Instagram and so worth the two bags I had to sell, so I could get this one. This spearmint blue color is perfect for summer. This shoulder bag comes in many colors with a leather strap or thick gold and silver chain strap. There's also a non-padded version that's a little less expensive. I'm obsessed with Bottega Veneta this season. The bags and shoes are unique statement pieces. I saw these Givency Paris flat logo slides (available at MyTheresa and Farfetch) a while back and regret not purchasing them. These slides are available in a few colors, but I can't find the purple ones. BUMMER! These slides have a laid-back vibe that's perfect for running errands or having by the pool. I banned myself from shopping Dior in February - the addiction was out of control! BUT, I'm back at it and loving these DiorAct white lambskin sandals (available at Dior boutiques). The "dad sandal" is on trend and there's many styles to choose from. This is THE Summer sandal. This Jacquemus Le Porte Gourde bag (available at Farfetch) is a little silly, but if you like to have water on hand at all times (like me), this is a cute way to "wear your water"! These Rodarte gingham cotton-blend sweatpants (available at MyTheresa) are fabulous! The high-waisted style is flattering and I love the contrast of the pink/white gingham and black/white striped cuff. There's a matching sweater - HAVE TO HAVE! I'm not a big platform shoe fan, but kinda want these Stella Mccartney Giai lace-up espadrilles (available at Farfetch) are SUPER CUTE. The unique style has logo lacing along the vamp that wraps around your ankle. LOVE!
Like most fashionistas, I'm obsessed with Bottega Veneta this season. Uh oh Dior (my long time designer obsession), I think I might have to push the pause button for a little while. The Bottega Veneta shell shoulder bag was the first to catch my eye. It comes in three sizes and a variety of colors. The cutout detailing gives this bag a modern look. I always go with the most unique bag in the collection, but don't seem to get appreciation from the fashion crowd, SO I'm gonna keep this one in mind and opt for a another style.. But first, lets talk about the shoes. I want all of them. The Bottega Veneta raffia sandals are GORGEOUS! The Intrecciato design is synonymous with the brand. Not sure if these would be comfy, but who cares. I don't recall Bottega Veneta being on everyones wish list in a while, but whomever took over the design team is WOWING fashion lovers. These Bottege Veneta almond pumps and mesh-panel sandals are both stretchy and unique. The mesh-panel sandals are on the top of my must-have list. The Bottega Veneta Intrecciato tote has an oversized slouchy body that's easy to pack and great for travel or running errands. BTW - Intrecciato is a unique Italian technique of weaving leather. These Bottega Veneta slingback strap slippers are a MUST-HAVE. They're futuristic and fun. I love this shade of pink. These casual shoes are perfect for summer. After much consideration, the Bottega Veneta padded cassette shoulder bag made it to the top of my handbag list. These weaved bags are on trend and available in a variety of colors. I like the neutral shades and the spearmint blue (got my eye on that one). The Bottega Veneta padded chain cassette shoulder bag is similar to the previous bag, but dons a thick chain in either silver or gold - depending on the color of the bag. This is the BV bag taking over Instagram. Another take on the classic Intrecciato weave - These Bottega Veneta mules are a statement. The bold platform mules are made from ivory nappa leather. LOVE! Last on the list - the Bottega Veneta fringe crisscross leather clutch is a show stopper. Anything fringe walks nicely and attracts attention. This clutch is unique and a nice addition to a fashionistas collection. Get my obsession? The BV collection is amazing! Fingers crossed that I'll wake up one day with a Bottega Veneta box calling my name..
It's hot and humid in Santorini.. Fussing with perfect hair and makeup is wasted vacation time, so I'm keeping it simple. Bronzer and coral blush are enough to brighten my complexion and give a natural glow (of course I'm avoiding to tan my face). Bronzer allows for consistent color all over without undoing all the facial laser treatments and anti-aging you've worked towards over the years - your face is sensitive and you will regret the sun damage one day. I straightened my hair once and it lasted a few hours - not worth the effort. My hairstyle of choice - a low-bun with pieces falling out. A windblown 'effortless' style. Accessories are important on vacation and white pieces standout against your sun-kissed skin. Layer bracelets and pile on small rings - opt for tiny rose gold or silver rings on each finger (rose gold looks great on tanned skin). Vacation destinations are great places to shop for accessories - so hit the stores early in your vacation and stock up on local (handmade) accessories. Accessories pictured here: Dior Chicago Aviators, Bottega Veneta Knot Bracelet, Isabel Marant Bracelet, Gabriela Artigas Rose Simple Rings, Blanca Monros Black Diamond Ring, Ariel Gordon Love Knot Ring, Kate Spade Bow Bracelet.
