HBT's Closet Essentials

I have been knee-deep in fashion mags and blogs for the past couple weeks and I'm feeling inspired to freshen things up in my closet. Here's what I've been thinking, or in other words, welcome to HBT's wardrobe essentials.

A Sexy Dress

My friend Bea sent me a text with a snapshot she took of the below page from Paris Vogue with a note that read: "I think if you buy this dress, you'll sell a lot of art." Oh yeah, Bea. But seriously, now I've become obsessed with this sexy Oscar de la Renta number. On a less prohibitively expensive note, this plunging crimson DVF dress is pretty gorge too.

A Cozy Sweater 

Jeana Sohn and I were going nuts over this cozy look below (also from Paris Vogue). Makes me want to head to the beach wearing a fuzzy top (love this Zara sweater and this one from Isabel Marant or even better, vintage Missoni) with some denim cutoffs.

A Glittery Shoe

I have been crazed about the current Miu Miu collection and trying to distract myself from the glitter-covered shoes and sunglasses, as if attempting to forget that they exist so I won't do any crazy impulse buying. Alternatively, Clare Vivier uncovered this glitter and suede ankle boot from Barney's, which is less trendy and moderately less expensive than Miu Miu's version. LOVE (image from Style.com's new print magazine - such a fun read!).

A Printed Pair of Pants

Spotted in the latest issue of American Vogue, I'm lusting after a pair of printed pants. I am thinking I would like to wear these J.Crew leopard capris with an oversize sweater and glitter ankle boots. And maybe a pair of red Miu Miu glitter sunglasses. Thoughts?

What are your current wardrobe essentials? What are you lusting after, dreaming of or wearing to death. Tell me.

I don't know where to begin! I want everything. Currently, my closet essentials are the cozy Alexa Chung for Madewell sweater Jeana blogged about, my black shift dress from H&M, my London Sole flats and vintage leather sling purse! xo

Ahhh, love your eye! Love all your choices. I've been on the hunt for a flattering printed skirt and am determined to find one for Thanksgiving. :) Have a great weekend.

Going nuts trying to find a pumpkin orange wool coat...

Long-sleeved mini dresses (with tights) for fall. I usually end up hemming vintage maxi dresses...

Tight black cashmere crewneck sweater. Mine is finally giving out! I buy boys' sweaters because I like the fit.

Glitter shoes! Check out tic-tac-toes. They're a dance shoe company but they make lots of flats and low-heels in a rainbow of colors and glitters...really good quality, too.

Amazing dress! I'm loving printed pants! They've become my new staple.

I've been loving Madewell too. Lots of cute and cozy stuff.

I'm trying to find a pair of cute, warm winter boots.
