Designer Wishlist

I was doing some online window shopping recently on vanmildert.com. It's got lots of designer brands like Michael Kors, D&G, Marc Jacobs, Vivienne Westwood and Armani. I thought I'd share with you some of my favourite items from the site in a little designer wishlist!

These Vivienne Westwood red glitter court shoes are going to be my wedding shoes if I ever get married. I've never had a pair of Dorothy shoes despite wanting some for years, wouldn't they seriously make the most incredible wedding shoes?

I've spoken before about how much I want a pair of Ray Ban Wayfarers, so maybe if I keep wishing it'll happen some day.

This Marc by Marc Jacobs bag is perfect. I hate designer bags that are covered in the brand name, I find it so tacky! This bag is really subtle, classic and versatile. It also has a longer strap and it's the perfect size for an everyday bag. If I was going to invest in a designer bag, this would be it!

What's on your designer wishlist?

  2. Those red glitter shoes are amazing...I saw a similar pair in Schuh a while ago but then if you're ever going to splurge on a pair of Vivienne Westwood ones then I think you're more than justified on your wedding day :) That Marc Jacobs bag is lovely too...I completely agree about brand-name-splattered bags. The one designer bag I'd almost be willing to splurge on would be a Mulberry bag...the leather is always beautiful and they're lovely and understated.

  4. Emma, you have chosen some wonderful pieces here. All my life I have wanted a pair of ruby slippers like Dorothy's. I (go ahead and laugh) even tried to make some when I was a kid by gluing red sequins on some shoes! :-) I admire you so much for wanting to wear these shoes for your wedding. Love the sunglasses, my favorite style and also the Mark Jacobs bag. I have always to this day carried a black leather bag. Can't help it ... on a very rare occasion I might carry my old alligator vintage purse or some other novelty type purse.

    I always enjoy your blog, Emma!

    1. You can't go wrong with a classic black leather bag Cindy, it's a great investment to make. I recently bought a tan leather one with a voucher I received from my company for 5 years of service. I wanted to buy something I knew would last me years and it goes with everything. I didn't at all laugh at you making your own Dorothy shoes as I've thought about doing it myself several times. I think these would just be so perfect for me, even though I'm not a heels person, I could be for these!

  5. Emma! I love that you've chosen ruby slippers! How gorgeously perfect for you :) I've just recently purchased this: http://www.vanmildert.com/products/womens-flipping-out-top-handle-black-leather-bag on a MASSIVE splurge and adore it to pieces! It's a bit small and the buckle is a bit fiddly, but it's kinda sorta more me that way ;)

    1. I loved that one too Rincy! It's such an unusual shape but still real;ly classic. I was going to get this Zara one recently that's a very similar shape :http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/ie/en/zara-neu-W2012/269223/908108/CITY%20BAG%20WITH%20FLAP
