La Liste.

Currently, dreaming ’bout..

Pick1

OK, I promise I’ll stop soon with the Self-Portrait mania, but another one of their unusual pieces has caught my eye.  At first, I saw this rust-colored maxi dress and thought “interesting…”  But now I am obsessed with it.  SO unusual and off-the-beaten path, unlike anything else out there!  Even the color is off-trend in a delightfully quirky way.  And it’s on sale for $539 with an extra 30% off right now!

Pick2

A friend of mine was telling me about this new craze called “bullet journaling,” a sort of methodology for list-making and note-keeping for Type A people (see more info here, or browse through some of the example pics below — this Instagram account has additional examples).

I’m not necessarily going to adhere to their shorthand (bullets, squares, dashes, arrows all have different meanings), I was taken by the notebooks that a lot of them were using and found that many of them are favoring the Leuchtterm 1917 ($24) — love the dotted pages.  It reminds me of the looseleaf that I used when studying abroad in France.

Pick3

When I was initially decorating our bedroom, I splurged on these Robert Abbey double gourd lamps ($259 apiece).  I’d had my eye on them for about a year and kept spotting them in various interior design books, blogs, and magazines — so when the time came, I knew they had to be mine.

Pick4

This chic Ulla Johson just went on sale for $254, and it’s requiring a lot of discipline not to snap it up.  I’ve had my eye on it all season…if that’s too steep, I’m SO flippin excited about this adorable tunic in a very similar vein from Old Navy — only $34!!!

Pick5

I love these wide, sturdy glass tumblers ($30 for 6).  They remind me of the kind of glassware all of Barcelona.  Mr. Magpie and I also frequently drink red wine out of tumblers like these.

Pick6

Still so freaking obsessed with these adorable embroidered gingham tunics from Innika Choo ($249).  I’m still waiting for mine to arrive — it’s been on back-order for a month!  I love the idea of pairing it with these adorable sandals from Tabitha Simmons (on sale for $372).

Pick7

I know, I’ve featured a lot of espadrilles this season on this blog, but this pair has got to be my favorite.  I love the slightly pointed toe, the cheery yellow hue, and the laces.  Best of all: they’re on sale.

Pick8

This denim-effect bikini (on sale for $198) from hot line Lisa Marie Fernandez is too good.

Pick9

Pixie Market is my go-to for cute little weekend tops, like this fun little pastel-trimmed lovely ($82).  A few other favorite new tops for less than $100: just snagged this one in the fun lavender color ($59) as well as this in the red color ($80, plus 40% off).  I’ve also got my eye on this $28 steal in the pale pink; this zig-zagged shell for $72; this bell-sleeved top for $51; and this Self-Portrait-esque blouse for $90.

OH.  And this find. $13, baby!!!!

Pick10

Mara Hoffmann is having the BEST sale right now.  I had to snap up this star-print shirtdress ($132) and this star sweater duster ($141 — now stashed away for fall).  I also love love love this dress and this dress.  My sister designed them — no big deal.
