Birthday Suit

 

Yes, I know my birthday is still more than two months away, but that doesn't mean I can't start planning what I'll wear to celebrate.  This dress from Madewell is on my wish list.  It looks extremely flattering and very versatile!

Wish

I've been having trouble getting pictures to load and what fun would a post be without pictures.  I've finally discovered a work around so I can keep sharing with you until the problem gets resolved officially!

 

 

I wish I could get my hair to look like this.

 

 

I wish it was warm enough to go camping so I could try this out...might come in handy if the power goes sometime before it warms up!

 

I wish this little clutch from Gap was in my closet right now.  If they start making it in emerald green it will be.

 

 

I wish this didn't cost a zillion dollars, I think it would make a really cute coin purse.  Apparently Alex knows someone who works with leather so maybe he can get one made for me on the cheap!

On My Wishlist

Really want some gold stacking rings.

This clutch...of course I love it in blue, but I think if I actually purchased it I'd get it in gold.  Its Claire Vivier.

I also love the rest of the outfit pictured!

Mugs

A few years ago Katrina got me a great mug...and then another one for my birthday this year.  I love them so much I've decided to start a collection.  Here are a few other mugs on my wish list.  Let me know if you find other good mug sources I should check out!

Listed on Etsy here.

Terrain

Brook Farm General Store

Etsy here.  You can pick the glaze color and customize the writing, or have no writing at all.  The also make some pretty cool dog bowls that are on Sadie's wish list!

Etsy here.  I love the polka dots but not the little, low handle.  The great thing about Etsy is that you can usually email the seller and ask for things like a similar mug with a normal handle.

Wish List - For the Home

I always have about 3 running wish lists in my head.  Here are the things that are on the top of my home decor wish list.

Jute and Chenille herringbone rug from West Elm.  The jute will make it durable and the chenille will make it soft.  Perfect for under our bed since there is no carpet in our room.  I like that there is some pattern but that it still has a neutral color pallet...our bedroom has a lot of color in it already so we need something that will add just a touch of interest, nothing too bold or overwhelming! 

Stacking metal bistro chairs from World Market.  They'll go at our kitchen table for now but could easily be used outside if we ever have a crowd over to grill out.

Baskets from Ghana...colorful but classic.  We literally have no baskets so I was thinking about getting something like this to contain all of Sadie's toys.

I Want It!

I keep seeing picture like this:

Reese in Kate Spade

That make me want this Anthro dress more and more.

Anthropologie Items of the Week

I don't know if these things are really that great or if the warmer sunny weather is getting to my head but this weeks picks have me super excited about spring...

This pot made me want to grow strawberries...not exactly sure why, but it did.

Love the bright colors and the cinched in waist.

When I first saw these I thought the screamed Hardee, then Katrina, then Nina C., then Suz, then me...since I thought they'd be just perf for so many people I decided to go ahead and post them.  Phwhy (that's FYI spelled phonetically...the phrase is used quite often around the slam house) I recommend wearing this shape with the points sticking out...I have a pair of similar shaped earrings and when you wear them with the points facing in the earrings get lost with the shape of your jaw...they're much more standout facing out!

Have I featured this dress before?  It was on my wishlist for a while but I took it off because I thought it was too plain and boring...but then I saw it again on a model and it made me reconsider it.  Sure its conservative but I think it could be pretty versatile and the reviews for this dress were outstanding!



Etsy Find

While I'm on the subject of Etsy finds I want to share these bracelets with you.

They come in all sorts of leather and metal combos.  I thought the tan leather with gold would be very versatile but I also think I would wear the gold on gold a lot.  I'm even feeling bold enough to ask for my own color combo.  Gray leather with gold metal.  Don't you think that would just be the bee's knees?



Pinterest Picks - All the Rest

Funky key chain.

Gold monogram bracelet.

Old mailbox to store gardening tools!

Madewell New Arrivales

All of these have been added to my wishlist:

Lumberjack shirt...perfect for Georgia games on the couch.

Like the shirt, but can't decide on the color...maybe both?

Killer jacket.

Basic black flats...mine are about 5 years old and set me back about $20 when I got them...I think its time for an upgrade.

Pinterest Picks

I just really love this headboard and light combo!

Start checking my wrist for bracelets soon...I haven't worn them in forever but have been really liking the look of gold bangles layered with watches.  Also love that oversized clutch...might have to add one to my wishlist!

This dress looks so breezy and fun to me!

Herb scissors.  I.  Need. These.

Don't Sweat It

I saw this sweatshirt on Urban Grace this morning and fell in love.

Then I went to the website and found this one ON SALE!

Is July too early to start my Christmas list?
