I fall in love with Zara every season. Their line of clothing and accessories always seems to amaze me with the  current trends, price, and quality of the merchandise. Here are my favorite picks with the orange blazer, navy long skirt, and the slingbacks rounding out my top picks. With dream money, my total comes out to be $549.40 but with my 20% off coupon, the new total is $439.52, which isn't to shabby. The orange blazer is a must for me due to my love of blazers. That will be purchased very soon :)

Every fashion addict or novice knows about the shoe to the stars, Christian Louboutin. While he is known for his impeccable style and design, his comfort is understated. Here, with my dream money, I pick my top 6 favorite picks, with my favorite being the Lady Daf. With a hefty price tag for the average shoe lover, the total comes to $5810. One day I will have no problem dropping that much, but for now, one will have to do.

Pattern Your Form

For a girl who loves patterns (almost every top I own is patterned some type of way), these dress forms are a dream. Dress forms can be used in decor for a room or for its original purpose: a form for making clothes. These by EEM by Stockman dress forms are the epitome of what every designer, fashion student, or just a fab person would die for (I know I would). I have a dress form in my office but nothing like these. If you are thinking about becoming a fashion director, designer, or seamstress, a dress form is something you will DEFINITELY need, I can guarantee.

It's a shame that I only begun to shop at American Eagle when I began working there almost a year ago. I love how the fit of jeans are and quality the brand actually has compared to other competitors. Since I do work there currently and have a employee discount, the total will be different for you. Here are some of the items on my wishlist and with my dream money, I am able to get my favorite crop chinos in the three colors needed/wanted and my favorite crossbody bag of the moment, the fringed mini.

The total of this purchase is.... $218. I have a feeling that this number will be in my near future. Happy Hunting!

Dreaming...American Apparrel

Cotton Spandex Jersey Strapless Ruched Bodysuit in Blk/Creme

$26.00

Leaf Flower Lace Tee

$38.00

Zig-Zag Knit Pencil Skirt

$52.00

Medium Leather Carry-All Pouch

$50.00

American Apparrel is my go-to basic store. It has everything from leggings to circle scarves to unitards. Without a doubt, American Apparrel is one of the best quality store made in the U.S. So with my dream money, I went shopping and found these four items:

1. Cotton Spandex Jersey Strapless Ruched Bodysuit in Blk/Creme, I love bodysuits since I dance a lot when I was younger. I wanted this color combo because it's neutral enough to where any color can be paired with it. This is a must.

2. Leaf Flower Lace Tee, this was a lust for me due to the fact it's a see-through lace top but nonetheless, I would wear this constantly during the spring/summer. White lace screams summer to me.

3. Zig-Zag Knit Pencil Skirt, Adoring this skirt is what I have been doing for a while now, so it has moved from a lust to a must. I love patterns, so this skirt is a match made in heaven for me. The icy blue color gives it an edge when pair with a heavily grommetted black jacket. Dying to have this!

4. Medium Leather Carry-All Pouch, Leather is must for any wardrobe and this is a versatile pouch to store all of your goodies like a purse. $50 for leather is a steal!

The total comes to be $166, so it seems that this dream will become real :)

Happy Hunting

I Dream of ... J Crew

Garden Lace Pencil Skirt

$250

Flak Trench Vest

$168

Everyday Chino

$59.50   $29.99

Doria Dress

$98

This segment is what I like to call I Dream of ... Everyone wishes they could buy whatever they want when they see it. So with my nifty friends, we came up with this alternative, dream money. The first store featured is J.Crew and I love J.Crew's clothing and jewelry. Lately, I have dreaming of  the perfect cap sleeve maxi dress, so when I came across the Doria dress it fit the bill with flutter sleeves instead.

Everyone should have a pair of chinos in their closet for easy, effortless dressing for everyday style, and at $30, anyone can afford them. My two surpluges would have to be the trench vest and lace skirt. These are more statement pieces than classics but it's worth to me. All together, the total would be $546. Not to shabby... for dream money.
