* This post was made in collaboration with Lyst *
I am constantly window shopping and looking for pieces I would love to add to my closet. Lyst is a great way for me to organize those finds and keep an eye out for sales. From Isabel Marant to Saint Laurent, Lyst partners with over 12,000 brands so you're sure to find all your favorite designers and discover some new ones.
The more you use it, the better it understands what you like and what you don't so you never see brands you don't like and find more you will love. You can also follow people to see what they are adding to their Lysts, and they can follow you.
One of my favorite things about the site is when anything you've lysted goes on sale or comes back in stock anywhere you can be notified! That means you're made aware of sales of your favorite items even if it goes on sale at a store you've never heard of! Score!
In addition to an ever-green lyst of products that are new for you from all of the brands you love, there's also a dedicated editorial site - The LongLyst - that includes interviews with the fashion elite and those in the know as well as exploring the history of the world's most popular garments and an exploration of trends.
I've created my dream Wish Lyst for what I would love to add to my closet this Spring/Summer. I'm constantly adding more pieces, there's just so much to go through. I could look for days, weeks really...ha ha. Not good for a shopaholic, but I was never very good at resisting window shopping. View the full lyst here, and a teaser below. Apparently I'm very into prints and crop tops this year.

This is my version of dressing down, the closest I'll get to wearing sweatpants. These awesome new Puma's are so me. Any time you make something purple I will automatically want it. For their first outing I styled them pretty basic: jeans + hoodie; a throwback to my younger years. Hopefully I'll be brave enough to try them with a skirt or something to dress them up a bit, but I'm not sure I can pull that off.
As a fun side-story: I have only worn sweatpants out in public once, not counting going to and from gymnastics practice, and that was due to extreme circumstances. I was in college, it was midnight, very snowy and my roommate asked me if I wanted her to take me to the 24 hour Walmart to buy Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on DVD. She had promised to take me the day it came out and figured there was no time like midnight, ha ha! So off I went in the snow in my sweatpants and Emu's.

Thanks to my sister for taking these photos!
Two of the days we were in Athens I changed my outfit for the evening. The first was for my friend Claire's birthday dinner. The second was because I hadn't taken pictures in my DKNY dress yet (even though I wore it in London one night.) It was still fairly warm in the evenings so I didn't really need the tights with my first outfit.

I wore another one of my Santorini purchases while in Athens. Unlike my sandals, I hadn't planned on buying a crazy printed crop top. I spotted it in a store, left the store and had to go back and buy it because I really liked it! It's not really like anything else I own, but it spoke to me and I answered. It is very cropped so even with my high waisted jeans I show a bit of skin. Hopefully I have some other pieces to wear it with back home this Summer.

These Sea pants were too comfortable and cute to not re-wear while on my trip! I didn't re-wear much, so it was quite an honor for them. The majority of these photos were taken on the rooftop terrace of the place we stayed in. So gorgeous, and a great view of the Acropolis! One night we had a barbeque, so delicious!

A super simple outfit for a day of exploring Athens. This sweater, which was made by my (late) Grandmother for my mom remains one of my favorite Summer pieces. It's so comfortable and, despite being a sweater, keeps me cool. It's slightly cropped fit is a perfect match for my high waisted jeans!

Athens. The final destination. (I hope you all ready that like 'Space. The final frontier.') Only 6 more vacation posts to go, then it's back to reality! It has been so nice reliving my vacation through these posts. This was my first outfit in Athens, I wore my new Ancient Greek Sandals for the day! Probably a bad idea to break in new sandals, but I only got one blister, not bad.
