Wish List Wednesday

I haven't made a wish list in a good chunk of time! I guess that is probably because for most the summer I have had a good amount of money since all I did was work. However, as fall and school approaches I find myself more and more broke. I will just be a good little girl and hope my family is feeling generous enough to help me look fall fabulous for back to school!  Here are a few things I have discovered that would make me very happy to be the owner of.


1. These shoes are adorable flats! They are on sale on Urbanoutfitters.com. I love that they have a little heel so they can class up an outfit. Great for casual or fancy wear.
2. This floral teal beauty is also from Urbanoutfitters.com and also on sale! Nice for adding a hint of color and just flat out nice!
3. Yes, this top is also on sale on UO. Clearly I have been scoping out their sale section. It is a great casual Tee and perfect for voting season in November. Hey, get political, why not?! This top would be cute with skinny jeans and a blazer or sweater with it.
4. Just because it is fall doesn't mean you have to stop showing some leg. Match this fun skirt with a sweater or light cardigan. I am really into this light pink color lately too. I found this at forever21.com.
5. I have been dying for a mustard cardigan for years..please come to me! Forever21.com is where this is from meaning it is pretty decently priced.
6. I have been in the mood for sad debbie downer movies lately. Granted this is also a comedy I know what happens in it (sorry for any spoiler). I love this movie and recently noticed it is not in my collection yet.
7. A yoga mat has made an appearance on my wish list before, but sadly I still don't have one. I want to start whipping my butt into shape to feel better and distract me. I feel like if I get a mat then I will have no excuse to not being doing yoga. Bare with my lame excuse to not be exercising. 

Well there you have it. My first wish list for heading into fall. What are on your wish lists these days?

Wish List Wednesday

I haven't done a wish list Wednesday in a while..this week will be my Valentine Edition. First here is my wish list Valentine's day outfit!
Urban Outfitters- $105

Urban Outfitters- $14

Forever 21- $24.80

Mine! From Urban Outfitters
This outfit would be so cute yet sexy at the same time! Perfect for a romantic dinner date! Add a locket for any jewelry your man got you for the perfect accessories.
My next wish list is for my Valentine's day gift. I want to keep it very simple this year.
Some Flowers

Chocolates
Wine and a nice cooked meal
Like I said, I don't want anything fancy or special this year. I would even be fine with no gift and just time and dinner with Mark. After all Valentine's day is about love not gifts and cards.
What's your wish list for Valentine's day?

Wish List Wednesday

Since Christmas is so close and I have already wished for everything I want for the holiday this weeks wish list is going to be about shows I wish were on T.V. all day and everyday! These are the few shows I could never get sick of watching.
 The first show I could watch nonstop is Skins (the British version!). Mark and I just started season 5 and even though I wasn't as into the second generation cast I still can't stop! As much as it sucks that each generation only gets two seasons I really like that it keeps the show fresh. The characters can never fall out of character because the show goes on and on. I love this teen mellow drama sooooo much!

I LOVE FRIENDS!!!!! I have been watching in on DVD every night before bed for like 2 months! I watch the same episodes over and over and it never gets old. I wish there were a million more episodes. I do like the earlier seasons more but I will take what I can get.
After the very first episode I completely fell head over heels for Dexter! Season 1 and 4 are beyond amazing! I still get as anxious and worried as I did the first time I watched, even though I know what happens. I don't have showtime so I only get to watch when the show comes out on DVD. So if I had my wish it would play on T.V. all day long just for me to tune into on my free time.
Yes I know Chelsea Lately is on T.V. every night multiple times, but I just wish they would play all the old episodes on her own little T.V. channel. Watching the round table crew make jokes always cheers me up, even if I wasn't in a bad mood.

Some people may think these two shows are just awful and everyone in them are dumb and nasty. Well get over it people!!! They make great crazy dramatic television and I eat it up! Sometimes I get really into it and want to fuel the drama flame! As much as I like getting to meet new girls on bad girls club and watching all the fights unfold, I would still like to re watch old seasons. I guess I am a big fan of reruns.

What shows do you wish you could always watch?

Wish List Wednesday

This weeks wish list is all about things I want to do this December and this winter! Normally I like to just stay cozy and warm all winter, but that can get a little boring and make me stir crazy! It is always nice to get out and go have fun. Here are a few things I would really love to do.
Snow tubing is so much fun and I haven't gone in years! There has been some talk between Mark and our friends to make a day of it and go tubing! We have Mt. Kato, which is basically some big hills where people can ski, snow bored, and of course tube! It actually hasn't been too snowy this December..so we will either wait till January or just have a blast in the fake snow!
I have been really into fancy Christmas parties lately. It would just make my holiday season to get all dressed up and enjoy the company of friends. I would also enjoy just a good ol' ugly sweater party with friends. It is a great time of year to all get together have some tasty food and just bask in each others company. Oh and see all the cute decorations!
Well if I don't get my wish of a Christmas party at least I have New Years to fall back on! There is always some kind of party and get together going on that night! And it is the perfect excuse to get a little dressed up no matter where you are going. It is just kind of a fabulous night!
As much as I hate driving in the snow, I still think it is pretty and makes winter a little more fun and playful. You can have a friendly snowball fight or build a happy snowman. I also really liked making snow angles when I was little. Snow really brings spirit to this time of year.
The last thing I wish for is a nice romantic date. Now that it is getting chillier out everyone stays in more. It is always nice to go out to a nice seat down restaurant and just talk the two of us. Neither Mark nor I have a fireplace, but it would be nice to play some games or watch a good movie. The Christmas tree is in Marks downstairs so it would add a romantic touch to be downstairs for our little date night together.

What are you wishing for this week?

Wish List Wednesday

Here is my Christmas wish list! It seems to grow a little more everyday! It is hard to tell everyone what I want because I always fear people not talking and getting doubles. Some of these things I already know I am getting, since I picked it out and ordered hehe.

1. I fell in love with this purse when I found it on Forever 21.com! I have been looking for a new purse for a while and I want something slightly simple to go with everything but also not boring. I asked one of my friends to get this for me.
2.I have been wanting a nude nail polish for a whole. This one is also from Forever 21. I might buy this myself for my own little treat.
3.Monster High Doll, Frankie, has been on my wish list before. My mom already told me she got her for me so not much of a surprise there, but I am still very excited to open her!
4.I don't have very many sweaters and since winters can be brutal here in MN I think I should get a few. I want a nice cozy cream sweater. This one if from Target.
5. I cannot get enough leopard print! One of my grandmas had me order this online to send to her to wrap. Another no surprise but I am thrilled to get it and wear it!
6. I asked Mark to get me a photo album. I took a ton of pictures with my foster siblings and would like a nice album to put pictures of them in.
7. Since it gets so cold and dark in the winter I thought I would try a tanning membership. Normally I don't ever go fake tanning. But I thought it might make me a little happier in the long winter months to get some vitamin b!
8. Pretty Little Liars is one of my favorite shows and books! Season 1 is now out on DVD. I also asked Mark to get this for me. It is a bit cheaper on Amazon than from stores.
9/10. I have asked for this charm before. I already have a silver chain but this pink one is just too cute to resist!

What kinds of things are you wishing for for Christmas?

Wish List Wednesday

This weeks wish list is stocking stuffer themed!! Woo! I have rounded up some of my dream stocking stuffers for this year. After all a stocking is a small way to give a little more for the season.
1. The first thing is Victoria Secret Pink body lotion and body mist! I absolutely love the smells of Pink! And their lotion is light but still keeps my skin hydrated. Some body scrub is always a nice stuffer too, but I prefer the lotion and spray.

2.These are a beautiful pair of earrings from Forever21. This pair is $6.80, so pretty cheap for just a little something nice in a stocking.

3.This gorgeous scarf is also only $6.80 from Forever21. It can keep you a bit warmer during the cold months but it is also so fashionable.

4.Gift cards are always a good and safe treat for the stocking. I mostly want a Barns and Noble one because I work right across from one and spoil myself with their cafe goodies! A gas, Target, Forever21 gift card would be nice too. I am not too picky! Just anywhere I spend beyond too much money at.

5.Once again these nail polishes are from Forever21! They are only $2.80 each! There is so many colors to choose from but mine are called "Baby Girl" and "Minty Green". I am so in love with these colors lately, mostly pale pinks.

6.The next book in the Pretty Little Liars series! It comes out in early December and I am very excited. Books are always a good normal gift, but sometimes it is nice to find one sticking out slightly of your stocking! Also if you get to open your stocking early, you can sneak away from all the family craziness and read a quick chapter!

7.Socks! I love getting socks every year in my stocking! By Christmas each yeah most my socks have holes in them or have lost their pair. I am a fan of ankle socks and these Hello Kitty ones are precious.

8.Everyone knows candy is the top thing to find stuffing most of your hanging sock. Normal I am ok with getting some candy, but in no way do I need bags and bags of it. I like getting some holiday candy, like these candy cane kisses.

So this is my wish list for my stocking! What kinds of things do you like to dump out on Christmas morning?

Vintage Dream Bedroom

Everyone imagines their dream bedroom. A place that is all your own for you to do as you please. I like to check in on UrbanOutfitters.com to day dream of all the things I wish I could afford for my own sanctuary. I would love a vintage inspired bedroom, black and white with just a splash of blue and pink. I also want a lot of art and pictures on my walls and shelves. Here are some ideas to create this perfect bedroom look.

Aria's bedroom from Pretty Little Liars!
These rooms look so cozy, like a little place to escape to. I love the birdcage mirrors in the top picture. I watch the show Pretty Little Liars and am always so envious of Aria's bedroom. I like the idea of an attic feel bedroom. I have also always wanted a window seat to sit and read in or just relax. Also i like how cluttered the room is, yet everything has its own place.
  
   

I have always wanted a bedroom big enough for a comfy chair to fit in. I am so in love with this print and lovely blue color. I like to use the excuse that if I had a nice place to sit I would find time to read more.
Black and white with a hint of color

I think it would be nice to have one long wall be wallpaper and the other walls painted. My room now is light gray and I like it a lot! I want a sleepy room to have loads of wall space! I love wall art and would hang it all over. I have a slight obbsession with picture frames too. I enjoy having pictures of my loved ones all around. I also have some pinup girl pictures in picture frames in my room. I think it is a cute little idea. Here are some prints I would love to have up on my wall and shelves.







That isn't even including pictures of my friends and family. Art is just something that can really set the mood of a room. I want vintage, daring, yet calming art in my room. I also like little nic-nacs for in my room. For my dream bedroom I would need a large space. Someday I will put all my wishes together and create my perfect space all to myself.

What inspires your bedroom?
