My Dream Christmas Lust List (so far...)

1. SHOES! To start, I have a bit of a shoe fetish. Always have, always will. Both of these pairs are by Guess. The brown studded boots, on the left, are in the "Esperanza Studded" style and I am obsessed. I always fall weak for western style boots. It must be the country girl deep down inside of me ;). And as you can tell, I'm very much in favor of gold detailing, so the gold studs on these just make them so much better. And the same goes for the "Hitzo" black sneaker wedges to it's right. All the gold detailing make this shoe SUPER killer. I've never been too keen on the whole "sneaker wedge" trend and I know it's a tad bit late but they haven't gone out of style just yet! And this cute pair has just the right amount of edge mixed with a dash of diva. The best part about both of these gold studded beauties is that they're both on sale! (Bloomingdales & Macy's)

2. Watches. Both of the watches pictured are by Marc Jacobs. The regular gold one of the left is the "Henry" Round Chronograph watch. I've had my eye on this one for definitely over a year now. I don't think I'm actually going to ask for it for Christmas but it's always been on my list, simply because it's so gorgeous and well...simple. On the top right is the "Rue The Cat Dinky Watch." I saw this while browsing online the other day and fell in love. It literally has my name written all over it. Luckily, Urban Outfitters sells a very similar one with a black band for a fraction of the price. I may just have to treat myself to the UO one instead :)

3. Jewelry: I think that Michael Kors necklace and those Kate Spade earrings speak for themselves. So gorgeous. 

4. And last but not least is another item that I don't plan on actually asking for but is just something that is on my "list for later" (aka when I have a good paying job and can afford it myself.) This is the Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran Tote in the color "warm zinc". I'm not sure why but I'm dying for an MJ purse in this color and I really love this classic style. One day...

In Case You've Been Wondering...

This is what I decided to go for with my over the bed decor. If you remember from my last post, I couldn't decide on what colors to choose for a tassel garland that I'd found on Etsy. I had already had these printed Instagram photos from a website called prinstagram so I decided to save myself some money and hang them above my bed instead. I purchased the hemp string, clothes pins, and flowers from Michaels, all for probably about ten dollars. I absolutely adore the way this looks and it even inspired some of my friends to do the same with their pictures.

I just bought some baby pink clothes pins that are the same size. I'm trying to decide whether or not to use them. I feel like they might be a little too much. Either way, I really like the changes I've made to the room.

(Pillow and covers all from Home Goods with the exception of the pink fuzzy pillow, which is from TJ Maxx. Duvet Cover is from Ikea.)

Lust List #1

I've decided I really want to give blogging a shot and these are my favorite things to see on them so here it goes...

1. I just was flipping through the new Ulta catalog, not even an hour ago, which was what inspired me to do this. These were the first things to catch my eye. I've never tried the Urban Decay lip liners but I imagine the formula must be pretty good after using and loving their 24/7 eye liners. From left to right, these are all new colors called Classic Red, Turn On, Obsessed, Naked 2, and Ozone. Ozone is the one that definitely interests me the most. This is a CLEAR lip liner! Has anyone ever heard of this before or are you just as amazed as I am? Well anyway, this is my first time hearing of any such thing so it's safe to say that when I do get around to picking these up, that will be the first color I grab.

2. The second product to grab my attention was one that fell right out of the catalog. Literally. Justin Bieber's NEW fragrance "The Key." First of all, is the packaging not to die? I've never been a fan of any of his other perfumes but after smelling this one, I knew I had to have it. And thus, my perfume obsession grows.

3. Essie's Fall 2013 nail polish collection just launched and when I saw it, two stood out to me as absolute must-haves. On the left is a beautiful multi-chrome looking color called "For The Twill Of It" and on the right is a gorgeous deep navy blue called "After School Boy Blazer." Strange name but they both have me amped for fall nail fashion ;)

4. Here is something that I will forever only be lusting after. A Penny Board. I don't live in an area with the flattest terrain therefore I wouldn't have much place to practice. And knowing me I would fall of every time I stepped on. But the idea is nice and they're just so darn trendy right now! But for the price, I would just never be able to justify spending it. Maybe I'll try out one of those Target knock-offs, but for now it will stay right here on this screen.

5. Now this pretty Ted Baker baby is something I've been eyeing for quite some time. I've always wanted one of those gorgeous wash bags with the bows and this hot pink one is right up my alley. Unfortunately, this color is all sold out online so if I ever do decide to get it, I'll have to make a trip to 5th ave. and FAST!

6. Alas, we have reached the last product on my list. And one that has been there for a very long time. The iPad mini. I recently (extremely IMPULSIVELY) bought a cute, pink, Nintendo 3DS XL. A whopping 200 dollars before tax. I bought Animal Crossing too which brought my final payment up to 250 dollars. I felt ridiculously guilty after and debated returning it. Today, my roommate texted me that her brother gave her a Wii that was also compatible game cube games! Um, WHAT?! So I can play animal crossing on the Wii now?! 

You're probably wondering what any of this has to do with the iPad. Well, I've decided that I HAVE to return the stupid 3DS (that I would've gotten bored of after a week even when I was 13) and that instead, I'll spend my money on a big girl toy. I've wanted an iPad for so long that the money is a lot more justifiable than something I decided on overnight.

Well, that's all folks! If you've tried anything I've mentioned please let me know what you think and if I should get it! :)
