Go Buy Now: Printed Pants

While I usually reserve my favorite prints for tops and dresses, lately I have become completely enamored with chic, straight leg pants emblazoned with pretty florals. 

This look was all over the Spring 2012 runways. As well as many of the bloggers and fashion editors that were in New York for fashion week.

1. Alexander Wang 2. Peter Som

3. Proenza Schouler 4. Chloe

5. DKNY 6. J.Crew

On the runways, floral pants were either paired with neutral tops or head-to-toe prints. Either way works! Check out some great options below

Wishlist

I must admit, my obsession with buying everything sparkly, printed or brightly colored means that I am very bad when it comes to investing in basic pieces. For example, I would much rather spend my money on a sequin jacket than a white button-down, but then I always end up needing the basic piece much more. One such basic item that I have been dying to get my hands on is a gold tank watch. After stalking different watches online for months I’ve decided that it is time to bite the bullet and finally snatch one up for myself. Here are some of my favorites:
