Welcome to The ABCs. Typically you would see a guest post here. The poster would be showing you which accessory, book and clothing item they are lusting after!This week is a little different since I am doing My Favorite Things week. Instead of seeing what someone is lusting after I am going to show you my ABCs but for things I own that are my favorites.
If you would like more information or would like to sign-up for a typical ABCs post you can click HERE. I’ve also created a place for authors to sign-up and do the ABCs for one of their main characters. Check that out HERE.

Accessories: Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 in Damier Ebene
I had wanted an LV bag, a speedy to be more specific, for a really long time. It was something I always had my eye on but also something I never thought I would own. After a lot of thought I realized I was spending a lot of money on bags and if I had one classic bag in my closet I would end up saving a lot more in the long run. One Christmas, thanks to gifts from many people, I splurged on my baby and I have been in love since. It will be 2 years coming up and I have not bought anything bigger than a clutch since. Next on my list, the Neverfull MM in Monogram.
Books: Anna and the French Kiss
You all know Anna and the French Kiss is my favorite book. That is no shock. Actually I’m sure this isn’t either, but my collection of books from friends, my own purchases, and Stephanie Perkins herself is probably the most important bookish thing that I own. All 23 copies of Anna, Lola and Isla are special too me and I hope to one say see this collection grow even bigger.
Clothes: Maison Jules Flutter-Sleeve Dress (Macy’s)
Back in June I had to go to a wedding. I decided to pop into Macy’s to see if I could find a dress for it. Sadly that was a bust but I came across a little off white number that I decided to try on. As soon as I put this dress on I was in love! It is so classic and simple but has a great sophistication to it. The length was perfect and I knew it had to come home with me. Since getting the off white one I have added the black to my closet. Sadly you can’t buy this online anymore, but it was probably the best addition to my closet in a long long time. Bonus: It was under $50.00!

If I find a clothing item that I love, I will usually go back and buy it in at least one or two other colors. When something fits perfectly and looks good on me, I want more of it 🙂 Also your Perkins collection is enviable.
Ha. Until reading this post I wasn’t even sure that you had read Anna and the French Kiss 😉
After reading Marie Kondo’s book, I became obsessed with her ideas about tidying your life (and possessions). As a result of that I am feeling a lot happier with all of my clothes (and books) because almost all of them are favorites (although I definitely still have some work to do). I have to admit I haven’t yet tackled my numerous accessories because that seems a bit too daunting still. One day.
Can’t wait to see what else you have in store this week!

I’m still amazed by your Stephanie Perkins collection! So freaking cool. And that dress is gorgeous, lady!
That dress is 100% adorable! I love the way it looks, and I’m always in the market for a little white dress 😉 Also, yay for an Anna and the French Kiss collection! I’m so happy I could contribute even one book to the pile.
