My son is obsessed with Playmobil right now. Well, actually for the past few years. I am equally in love with the toys, but am sort of losing my mind over finding their tiny accessories in every nook and cranny of our house. He’s got a fairly good “bin” system of toy organization in his room, but these little pieces need something smaller. On our trip to one of my favorite vintage toy shops this past summer, I realized that an old school card catalog cabinet would be the perfect thing! I saw a few on our visit to Off the Beaten Track Warehouse and can’t get the idea out of me head. This one from Etsy is PERFECT. So of course it’s already been sold. But I’m now firmly convinced we need one and I’m on the hunt!
I Want It Now
I Want it Now: New Moto Boots
I had the best pair of moto boots in college — just the right balance of height and “toughness,” without being overly embellished. And I haven’t found a good pair since. I just bought some for my daughter and decided it was time to start looking for a pair myself. And I love this Rag + Bone pair — I want them now!
I Want it Now: Coat Rack
Fall is in the air and that means jackets and backpacks are becoming a part of our daily routine again. We don’t have a coat closet near our front door so all of those things tend to wind up cluttering our banister. But, I’m hoping that this year will be different because I’m getting a coat rack! I’ve been shopping around for them for a while and I think this simple birch one from Ikea is perfection! I want it now!
I Want It Now: Champagne Coupe
I’m finding my barware lacking in one certain category: the champagne coupe. Honestly, how can I possibly make a champagne fountain without them? I can’t. I’d prefer gold rimmed ones, but these are probably more practical. Cheers!
I Want it Now: An Organized Refrigerator
I have a dream, a dream that I will someday have an organized refrigerator. I feel like I’m a fairly organized person with most of my life but my fridge always seems to get the best of me. But, then this week I got the new Crate & Barrel catalog and I saw a picture of this beautifully organized fridge. I love it and I want it now!
I want it now: Nail Wraps
Over the weekend I was in New York to help celebrate the engagement of a good friend (hooray!) and while I was there, I was admiring her sister’s fun nail art. Turns out they were nail stickers! What? Such a cool selection and lasts like a gel manicure! I want some now!
I Want It Now: Leather Camera Strap
My DLSR still has the factory strap on it and I’m super over it. It’s not cute and while it keeps my camera around my neck or over my shoulder, it doesn’t work cross-body, which is a must. I found these handmade leather straps from Tap & Dye and I want one now!
I Want it Now: Chelsea Rain Boot
I’m in the market for a new pair of rain boots. Earlier this spring I took my old rain boots out of the closet only to find an empty sippy cup of milk turned upside down on the inside with the contents of the cup soaking the inside of my boot. Within a day the smell was horrible no matter how hard I tried to clean them. Yuck!
So as fall approaches, it’s time to get a new pair. I’m not a big fan of the heavy clunky variety that seems to be the popular style of the moment so I’ve been stumped. Then I spotted these new boots from J.Crew. Score!
I Want It Now: Marble Print Top
By now, my marble obsession is no secret. I’ve been coveting a Balenciaga marble printed top that is out of stock and it’s driving me a bit nuts. I think this Niel top would be a different, but good (and certainly less pricey) substitute. And I Want It Now!
I Want It Now: Nelson Saucer Pendant
When my husband and I were remodeling the kitchen of our new house a few years ago, we replaced a lot of the lighting fixtures throughout the whole house. I was debating between this Nelson Saucer Pendant light and another one at the time. We ended up deciding on the other one and I have always regretted it. It’s only been a few years so I don’t think I can change out the fixture yet but I really really want to… now!
A Feteful Life
