Valentine's Day Wishlist

Happy Wednesday everyone! I started the week off with lots of school work, so now that I have some time off, I decided to do a little Valentine's Day window shopping! Of course, I'd be happy with anything on Valentine's Day from Skylar. But, why not treat yourself on Valentine's Day, too? So, if I could get myself anything, here's what it would be!

• These hanging bird plugs are so cute! 
• I'd love to get flowers for V-Day, but honestly I would love to get some succulents even more!
• I'm always down for some new pretty underthings, like this bra and undie set!
• Have you guys seen the new Lush gift boxes? The Two Hearts one is perfect for Valentine's Day! I am seriously tempted to just buy it for myself.
• You can never go wrong with a cute mug! We drink so much tea and coffee at my place, mugs are always a necessity.
• I'm a huge fan of small, dainty necklaces. I'd love this little heart one!

What's on your V-Day wishlist?

Late Autumn Wishlist

Hey guys! It's November already, can you believe it? Even though I've been a bit too busy to take any outfit photos, that doesn't mean that I'm constantly shopping for new fall clothes. Here's some of the things that I've been wanting this fall:
 

1 & 2 / I'm in need of a new jacket, but I can't decide if I want to splurge on an edgy leather one or a classic parka. I absolutely love the look of a leather jacket, and my current leather jacket is extremely worn out. But a nice parka would be so useful for the winter months. Maybe if I find some good deals, I can get one of each, haha!

3 / I'm not really in need of a new scarf, but that doesn't change the fact that I want another one! I love the pattern of this one.

4 / It's honestly been forever since I purchased a dress, and that really needs to change! I haven't been wearing dresses a lot lately just because of marching band, but since the season is coming to an end I'll be able to wear them a lot more!

5 / I'm going to admit something- I only own one plaid/flannel shirt. Crazy, I know. Obviously, I need more!

6 / I'm really drooling over a pair of boots like these! These ones are wayyyy out of my price range, but I love the straps! Plus, I'm pretty confident that I can hunt down a pair that will be more in my 'poor college student' price range.

7 / I've kind of been obsessed with wearing lipstick lately, which is weird because I was never usually into wearing it before. Obviously since it's fall, I've been leaning towards some darker colors like burgundy, but I really want to try a plum or deep berry shade!

8 /  I am in love with these plugs! Ever since sizing up my gauges to 1/2", all of the wood plugs I own are too small. I'd really like a pair in my new size!

9 / Finally, I've been on the look out for a nice pair of boyfriend jeans. I love the lighter wash!

Now that the semester is winding down, I've really been enjoying fall! Lately I've just been curled up binge watching the first season of American Horror Story (how did I never watch this when it first came out? SO GOOD.) with Skylar and some coffee. It's been pretty nice!

How's your fall season been? What's on your wishlist?

Fall Color Favorites: Deep Berry

Items:

dress / sunglasses / booties / leather jacket

satchel / top / hat / sneakers / scarf

I know it's pretty early to be talking about fall fashion, but I just can't help myself! I'm ready for crisp autumn days, boots, and layering! As much as I love summer, I'm definitely over the sweaty 90 degree days we've been having. Bring on the cool, cozy days, I say!

I haven't really been searching around for the fall trends in the actual 'fashion world,' but one color that I've been really excited about for this fall is this wonderful berry/burgundy color. I've seen a few people around my campus wearing this color, and it's really grabbed my attention. It's definitely a great summer-to-fall transitional color! It's still bright and fun, but the warmth & richness of the color makes it great for fall.

What do you guys think? I'm definitely pining over that cap-sleeve dress and the burgundy bowler hat!

What are you guys excited to wear this fall? 

Apartment Wishlist: The Bedroom

Bedding / Flowers / Nightstand / Tapestry / Owl Lamp / Throw Blanket / Pillow

Well, almost a week until I move into my new apartment! To say I'm excited is a littleeeee bit of an understatement, haha! 

Today I'm sharing my wishlist for my bedroom! I probably won't actually be buying a whole lot for my bedroom, so this wishlist is kind of a 'if I could buy anything I want for my bedroom, what would I get?' kind of thing. I already have things like bedding, pillows, blankets, etc, but they are getting a little ratty and I would love to replace them when I am able to. The only thing I'm definitely looking to buy is a nightstand like the one in the top corner; I need to start scouring garage sales and thrift stores! Plus, look at that tapestry in the bottom right; is it not absolutely beautiful?

Well, I hope you have a wonderful Thursday! I'll be sharing my bathroom and living room wishlists next week, and the week after that I'll officially have my new apartment to show off! 

Apartment Wishlist: Kitchen

bowl / measuring spoons / flowers + vase / clock / tea towel / utensils / canisters / salt + pepper shakers / cutlery

Guys, I'm moving into a new apartment in less than 2 weeks! I don't know why I never mentioned it on the blog before now, but I'm so excited! Not that I don't mind living with my parents (free rent, woo!), but commuting to school was such a pain. So now I'll be moving back to my college town and living with some friends from the marching band! The thing I'm most excited about (other than decorating, haha) is being able to be just a walk away from school, friends, and everything else, really!

Anyway, onto the topic of this post! One of the things I'm most excited about is being able to furnish and decorate this apartment from scratch. And the first thing that I started shopping for was the kitchen, which is weird because I absolutely hate cooking, haha! Maybe having a cute little kitchen will make me want to learn? Who knows...

I'd say my home decor 'style' is kind of all over the place; I like kitschy, interesting, mis-matched things. Basically, I just want our kitchen to be cute, cozy, and functional! Since I don't have a lot of expendable income (broke college kid right here), I'll definitely be scouring thrift stores for a lot of my kitchen-ware, so I will definitely be getting that 'mis-matched' look!

What's your kitchen must-haves that I should add to my list?

My 21st Birthday Wishlist ♥

Guys, it's almost my 21st birthday! Next Sunday, the 27th, I'll officially be of legal drinking age, what what! I threw together a little wish-list of things that I would never buy myself, but still totally love. That's what birthdays are about, right?

1. I'm definitely in need of a new lens, and the 50mm f/1.8 Nikor Lens is what I have my eye on! 
2. Pretty nail polish! These Deborah Lippmann polishes are way more pricey than I would usually go for, but man, those colors! (1 / 2 / 3)
3. I'll be moving into a new apartment soon, and I want lots of pretty plants and succulents to decorate with! This little collection is adorable.
4. This maxi dress! Really, I'd be happy with any type of pretty dress, but look at the back of this one! And the colors are pretty fantastic.
5. I love satchels, and the color of this one is basically the bomb.
6. After sizing up my ears to 1/2", I am in need of some new plugs! I would be so happy if I were to get these wooden flower plugs!
7. An infinity necklace...real original, right? I don't even care, I've always wanted one!
8. Candles are always on my birthday wishlist. I am a scented candle hoarder. 
9. I am a sucker for fun sneakers! I actually got a new pair of Vans a few weeks ago, but since they are my favorite shoe brand, I'll never say no to another fun pair, haha!
10. Last but not least, the cutest bikini! The price is insane (almost $300!) so I don't necessarily need this particular bikini, but one like it wouldn't hurt!

I'm not expecting (or asking for!) any lavish gifts, what I want most is to be with people I love all weekend and just have some adventures! 

Happy Monday!

Spring Basics Wishlist

Now is the time of year where I am yearning for new spring & summer clothes. Although it doesn't necessarily look (or feel) like spring outside yet, I am still dreaming of pretty colors and dresses!  

Recently I did a huge purge of my closet, so it's pretty bare in terms of basics.  Here's what I have on my wishlist for some nice basics for spring and summer!

1. Striped Crop Top- I am in love with the crop top trend. Stripes are a staple in my wardrobe; I'd love to wear this top with some light-wash high-waisted cut-offs!

2. Triangle Necklace- When it comes to jewelry, I am definitely a 'less is more' person. That's why I love this simple rose gold triangle necklace!

3. Scalloped Satchel- Is this bag not the cutest? I love satchels in general, but I especially love them for warmer weather!

4. Jean Jacket- This is something that's been on my wishlist for years- I definitely need a proper denim jacket!

5. Pretty Nail Polishes (1) (2)- It's no surprise that I love pastels for spring, but these are the two colors I am loving most for my nails! I am actually wearing the blue color currently!

6. Heels- Are these heels not perfect for spring? Plus, they could go with anything!

7. Floral Dress- Everyone needs at least one floral dress for spring, and this one is so dang cute!

8. Pastel Blazer- I've been in the market for a blazer for a while, and the color of this one is so perfect for spring!

What are some of your favorite spring basics, or pieces you are lusting after for spring?

Spring Pastels

I don't know about all of you, but when spring rolls around, all I want to wear are pastels (as evidenced by my last outfit post). So, since winter has been overstaying it's welcome (seriously, stop it dude), I've decided to put together some pretty collections featuring colors from all over the pastel spectrum. Enjoy!

Pink & Purple

Orange & Yellow

Blue & Green

Which collection is your favorite? Mine is definitely the pinks and purples, but that's probably because pink and purple are my favorite colors, haha!

Happy Wednesday!

Fall Outfit Inspiration

Fall Outfit Inspiration 1 & 2

Fall Outfit Inspiration 3 & 4

Guys, I don't think you understand how excited I am for fall. (hint- it's a lot) I can't wait to wear sweaters and boots and layers and scarves and drink hot cocoa and play in the leaves and go to football games and carve pumpkins and...okay I think you get the idea. Anyways, I basically want to live in outfits like these when the weather cools down. I'm trying to cut back on my spending, so I am planning to thrift my ass off in the coming months :) Prepare for a few 'thrift haul' posts!

I hope you have a lovely Monday and Labor Day! Have any exciting plans?

December Wishlist!

I can't believe it's already December! It hasn't felt like it around here, since the past few days it's been in the 50's (Which is totally fine by me!). Anyways, here's the things I've had my eye on from Modcloth lately!

1. How adorable are these marshmallow christmas ornaments?
2. This Owl mug would totally give me a reason to indulge in my shameless coffee addiction (not like I need a reason...)
3. I've had my eye on this coat for a while, and ever since I saw Kayla from The Dainty Squid's outfit post where she wore it, I have wanted it even more!
4. I definitely need more long-sleeve dresses for winter, and this one is the most gorgeous color! I would love to wear it for a christmas party :)
5. These boots are so effin cool! I love the color and the studs on the heel!
6. And who could say no to another cozy sweater? Not me.

Today is going to be a lazy day full of coffee, online christmas shopping, and paper writing. Stay tuned for a new outfit post today or tomorrow! Have a lovely weekend :)

Fall wishlist!

One - Two - Three - Four - Five - Six - Seven

In lieu of my last post,  here is everything I am coveting for this fall. I am so excited to start whipping out my scarves and boots and fall colors, and maybe start introducing some new ones into my wardrobe. I have been shopping online for the perfect brown riding boots and black fitted motorcycle jacket for the longest time. Once I get some money, those are the first things I will be splurging on, haha. And I am always in the market for some cute dresses and bags.

Well I am off to take Skylar to work and to see if the Salvation Army is having a sale today. How cheap am I that I steak out to see if the salvation army is having sales? Oh well, I have no shame. 

Happy Labor day!
