Yesterday, Emily showed you hers. Today, it's Casey's turn. Here are just a few of the many, many beautiful things our editor is currently lusting after... It never hurts to dream.
Ready to shed the dark layers I've been living in for months now, I'm craving 3.1 Phillip Lim cropped silk sequined top (see above top left, $625). I'd wear this with crisp white shorts, a simple black, croc clutch and sky-high patent pumps.
Oh Proenza Schouler's gorgeous PS11 bag (see left, $1,850) - I fell in love with it when it hit the Fall 2010 runway and each day I seem to just fall harder and harder. Too bad it isn't available for many more months... absence only makes the heart grow fonder.
Bottega Veneta always sweeps my breath away and right now I'm dying for the sterling silver rosebud contrariè ring (see above, $520). Just my style, this ring is both contemporary and romantic at the same time.
Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting jewelry designer Ashley Morgan at Fragments and quite quickly fell in love with the sliced diamonds in her Thunder collection (see top, middle). These aren't your standard Tiffany diamonds... no, these are different and seem much more special. Subdued, but still brilliant, Ashley's necklaces are ones you want to layer and wear every day. The thing is, I'm really not a small pendant kind of girl and yet I'm dying over these ones...
To add an unexpected element to either my home or the office, I'd love the Sander Mulder woofer speaker set (see top right, $1,955). Funny and functional, you can bet these will start the conversation every time. 
Although the Alexander Wang leopard Alla wedge mules (see right, $650) are so recognizable and have been all over the place, I'm still crazy in love with them. Three different leopard prints come together in what is definitely one of the must-have shoes of not only the season, but the year.
I received a sample of Chanel N°5 Eau Premiere (see far right, $64) and I'm addicted. A decidedly lighter, fresher, softer interpretation of N°5, this is a silky-smooth harmony of notes that reveals the delicate facet of the now and forever fragrance.
