What's Your Current Crush?

Every so often, I get a fashion crush on a certain item, look (the vest over dress incident, anyone?) or style.
Currently, I am crushing on animal prints/textures. You name it- giraffe, leopard, snake, croc, I love them all. I haven't actually bought anything like this recently, but these items are drawing my eye like a mocking bird to shiny objects.
What's your current fashion crush?

I think I have fashion ADD. I can't stay focused on one thing for long, else I just get sick of it.

I have a lot of crushes and I change it a lot. For the moment I'm trying to find a sheat dress, but as I'm petite it's very difficult.. here in portugal there isn't petite stores.. so the proportions are always wrong..

Good topic Kris

My current crush is winter floral dresses such as this one from Gap
http://www.asos.com/Gap/Gap-Fl.....;clr=Green

Which I'm going to wear with a funky pair of ankle boots such as these
http://www.office.co.uk/womens.....1/19796/1/

In fact I'm really lucky as Mr Rose and Joan is buying me both for my B'day (yippee).

Oh, and please do buy some animal print for your wardrobe I'm sure you'll look fabulous.

1) PURPLE anything. I don't know if it is a coincidence that this season I started craving purple, but I was attracted to anything purple even before it became the it colour of the season.
2) Moto/biker vests
3) Sheath dresses
4) Slouchy boots (I swear the moment Angie even mentioned slouchy boots I was hooked)
5) Peep-toe oxfords.

How's that for organized fashion ADD?

Heh, I'm also really liking animal prints--black/white zebra print, in particular. I'm on the hunt for cute flats or a belt in this pattern. Chewy, what animal print items are you interested in finding?

Roseandjoan - i knew exactly what dress you were talking about without even having to look. I have been coverting that dress for a few weeks and have been into the Gap closest to work to try it on twice only to find that it is either available only in sizes 6 or 16 I have also seen it on a woman at a function last week and it looked so good, plus it is silk which I love and it will look so fab with boots.

My current crush is necklaces, especially ones that I find off etsy.com. I have most recently purchased this one - http://www.etsy.com/view_listi.....d=31661430
and I have another dozen or so lined up on my favourites list!

I'm crushing on this skirt. I found it for half that this past weekend, but a six was too small.
This site has it, but it's a bit much still.

Skinny pants ! (non-denim material). On my current wish list are:

1. black ponte
2. olive cargos
3. dark grey dressy rayon pair
4. cream corduroy
5. taupe velveteen

I have found them all, am just lacking the funds

I am still crushing on dresses in a bad way. I make a beeline for them in every store I go to.

I am also obsessing over sweaters and long-sleeved tops. Seems I don't have many of those anymore, LOL!

Too bad you don't have Target over there loulou. They had some at our Target store today, you would've liked them.

I tend to obsess on one color at a time and then I end up buying several items in that color. I was on red, but I think it's switching to brown.

I'm also crushing over a bag I saw a Martin and Osa and slouchy boots in general.

I'm kind of fickle, though. A few weeks ago I was crushing over animal print calf hair anything.

I love reading everyone's crushes! I guess I'm a fashion monogamist, though- the things I like are pretty predictable and consistent. Right now it's day dresses in jewel tones, particularly hunter green and plum. Also equestrian-style boots that mix black/brown (so practical!) and big sculptured shoulders.

Great question Khris!

It's not really a "current" crush, more of a never-ending crush and can-never-have-enough-of them kind of thing: leather jackets. At the moment I'm particularly longing for leather jackets in more "unusual" colours (purple, all sorts of green, yellow...).

Dresses are high on my list at the moment too, but I'm very picky about them, and have a hard time finding the right ones;-)

Oh and how could I forget, I really need these!!

In fact, I'm eyeing about 7 pairs of boots in their current collection...

So funny! I get crushes all the time too. Animal prints are a crush that comes around and around again for me. I need to restrain myself on them. I have a rule now that I will only buy animal-printed accessories or shoes.

Current crushes:

- Pretty silk blouses

- Pumps

- Ponte knit pants - Ever since Tanya posted those Inc ones. I am tempted...

I've got my white denim thing out of the way (finally) so am now focused on ponte pants (like shiny, I really like those INC ones). Also crushing on leather cuffs!

sinead

Jackets and coats- the perfect trench coat hunt continues, love military jackets, boyfriend blazers... because of my small shoulders and long waist, I have trouble finding the right fit. And with the weather turning cold here in Seattle, I need them now. So I currently have jackets on the brain!

JewelryGirl

My current crush is booties & tights with skirts. I think I've got a good supply to make combinations with now thanks to many skirt finds at consignment & sales over the past couple of months. Now, it just has to get a little cooler to wear them!

Anything animal print is a never ending crush for me, always has been & probably always will be. I've passed the "gene" onto my daughter & it's so funny because she hates that it's trending right now.

It was pumps for a long time for me - most of the spring & summer. I think that's subsided for awhile right now...

Color wise, I'm back into brown again. I so love it! That & some deeper jewel tones for winter...

Jewelry - necklaces especially are always a crush!

Fun topic!

Several boots from the Sundance catalog http://www.sundancecatalog.com.....Boots.html

And, this dress: http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/.....038;OF=783

And you all will laugh at me, but I want these comfy Birkenstock shoes: http://www.zappos.com/birkenst.....ck-leather

This is such a fabulous topic!! It's so cool to see everyone's style preferences show.

Mine are definitely:

- Pour la Victoire shoes (I am scrimping pennies to save for the Angelique booties): http://www.plvstudio.com/collections.html

- This fabulous equestrian hat; it's so offbeat and charming! : http://www.modcloth.com/store/.....strian+Hat

-Louis Vuitton bunny ears. No lie. There's a handmade knockoff pair on Etsy I am seriously considering buying. : http://features.elleuk.com/acc.....ategory_no

-Chanel's two-tone tights. I've been looking around for knockoffs but there is simply no comparison!! : http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/fa.....ghts-.aspx

I guess my style crushes are not really as realistic (nor as useful), but I love them no less! ^_^

Sweet read!

I’m such a flirt – I have constant crushes. But I have crushes on the same things over and over again for years and years and years:

o most things Chanel
o sheath dresses and sack frocks
o boots, boots and more boots
o military inspired clothing
o sleek turtle necks
o pearls

On the flip side I’ll also say that I’ve *almost* had enough of ruffles. I love them, but the market is flooded and its killed the look.

I am very attracted to the idea of the sheaths that Kristen has been wearing so beautifully with the neck detail. I keep telling myself that I already own a sheath dress and don't have much opportunity to wear them.

So many great things!
Love those Chanel tights. I get color crushes, too- purple right now for me too, Vani. I've bought two purple tops and a purple sweater all in the last couple of weeks.
echo- I am stalking a (fake) hair leopard print belt at Target right now. It has to go on sale before I will buy it, though.

I really want one of those DKNY Cozy wrap sweaters. You can wear it 12 ways! The kelly green color is on the top of my birthday list.

color crushes: purple, grey + pink, and deep blues. cannot get enough of grey lately..

i'm crushing so badly on the dress+ tights + booties look but i doubt i'd have anywhere to wear it....actually i think i crush on dresses pretty much all the time. and shoes...and necklaces. i've had my fling with animal print, and now just need to find more sober hued pieces to match them up with..

Crushing on black dresses and black pencil skirts w/tights and black turtle necks....I know... back to black:)

Crushing on Chanel's jade green. I just can't find it in anything I want.
