Coveted Cosas

This is week 3 of Coveted Cosas. Keepin' it up and going strong! I am finding this is a great way to remember all things I admire from a far and want to purchase in the future. Today, I found 2 funky fab' shoes and 2 stand out outfits, enjoy!

-1-

Iron Fist
Dance Your Grave Spr Plt - Pink

I love these zombie wedged heels! I love the AMC Walking Dead . . .and pretty much anything zombie themed. These Iron Fist shoes are sold on heels.com priced at $79.99.

Taylor Says
 Calavera - Black Leather

Yes, yes, yes! Taylor Says has fulfilled one of my fashion dreams: to have a sugar skull print on wedge like, Jeffrey Campbell-esque Night walkers. What makes this even better are the fun, string like straps to hold you in. These beauts are sold at heels.com for $199.99. Want!

Boohoo

Boutique Sandra Brocade Matching Set

I rarely purchase a matching set, but this look could change that. The crop top and pleated skirt can be purchased separately at boohoo in their limited edition Boutique section. The top costs $40 and the skirt is $50.

SheInside

White Short Sleeve Buildings Bikes Print Silk Dress

Great statement piece. I love this sleek, modern dress and it costs $44.20 at sheinside.

Coveted Cosas

Hey, I started a new section called Coveted Cosas, a term created from a fusion of English and Spanish words. Every Week, items or cosas (things) I would like to have will be posted. I will do my best to provide links so you can purchase these beauties, if you so desire!

I guess this week's theme is handmade necklaces. Not intentional, but great works tend to be handmade or custom made with skill. They are loud, proud, statement pieces that enhance a variety of looks!

The Tatty Devine 'Mexican' Embroidery Necklace comes in a variety of colors and tones, but I just love the starkness and elegance of the white. Classic and simple, que linda! 

The necklace can be purchased from Tatty Devine directly for £85 ($128) plus shipping or at Nordstroms for $148 with free shipping and free returns.

Vultress - Egyptian Vulture Necklace

This stunning vulture necklace is handmade and can be purchased on Etsy.  To purchase you must place a custom order as this necklace is made with high quality material, a lot of time, and skilled craftsmanship. 

The Vultress comes with a custom case specifically designed for the necklace. There is an obvious wait time, but with the high-quality and presentation of this work it is worth the cost and time!

Look - Pastel Crosses

Are you a die-hard cross lover? I know I am! It's a simple, beautifully designed symbol that I incorporate in many of my pieces. Pastels are the go to look for spring. Add some crosses and you have sweet  appearance with an edge. 

THE LOOK

Beige Undershirt - Discovery Clothing

Look - Chartreusely Blue

One of my ultimate favorite color blocking schemes: chartreuse and blue. This look was conceived with time, but it is one I love to wear on many occasions.

I am not afraid of repeating outfits, especially when I really enjoy it. My motto is wear what you love and own it, no shame.

Look - Bordar Mi Vida

Summer has me colorful and distance has me inspired. My personal style tends to be rather colorful, so I feel this is a great first post. The skirt was the foundation piece for this look. I purchased the bright embroidered skirt in Lima, Peru on February, 2013.

I've been to Peru many times and am constantly inspired by its traditional elements. Living in Chicago, I am also inspired by Mexican and other Latino influences. This piece is an ode to those beautiful and bold inspirations, with a modern twist.
