Wishful Wednesday

Today's wish list features several practical pieces and some unnecessary yet beautiful pieces.  But that's what a wish list is for after all right? I can put whatever I want on it, after all, it is my wish list.



I am definitely still in need of more coffee table books.  They are hard to justify at the moment since I will be packing everything up in just over a month and attempting to make my entire apartment fit into my room at home.  Laughable.

You know what's not laughable? The gorgeousness that is the Loren Hope Samba Necklace. 

On to unrealistic purchases at the moment: Holy perfect sandals and crossbody bag.  I have been on the hunt for more beautiful and classic sandals for the summer and a perfect crossbody bag for quite some time now.  Ding, ding, ding, we have some winners.  However, yours truly isn't willing to spend quite this much on these pieces as of now.  Instead, they'll just occupy my dreams.

Fun fact: the Loeffler Randall Sandals are eligible for the Saks Friends and Family sale-enter code FRIENDS for 20% off! And then do a silent fist pump and don't tell me you got them because I'll be jealous. Deal?

Deal.

Wishful Wednesday

This Wishful Wednesday is all about home accessories.  It took me awhile to even begin to figure out my style, but it is definitely not what I have in my apartment right now.  These are some of the current pieces I have my eyes on.

Quartz Bookends | Gold Athena  Tray | Zinc Letters {C please} | Capri Blue Candle
Franklin Magnifier | Leopard Matches

I am loving gold, white, black, and grey with pops of accent colors and various textures. These pieces would each add a bit of personality to my current apartment, which it is so in need of at the moment.

What are some home accent pieces that you have been swooning over recently?

Wishful Wednesday

Somewhere along the way while creating this wish list, I created an outfit.  Now, for the summer, I would definitely pair this to-die-for maxi with a white tank top for a great contrast with the baubles, but on a chillier night, the long sleeve floral Topshop piece would be a great addition of pattern and pastel.


Dabney Bib Necklace // Topshop Lily Drape Front Blouse // J.Crew Sardina Wedge Espadrilles // Rebecca Minkoff 'Mac-Mini' Clutch // Zara Maxi

Coral may have recently surpassed mint on my favorite color list. Or it's a tie.  I don't know.  I just love them both, that's for sure. Don't make me choose. 

I am still on the hunt for the perfect casual wedge.  Any other suggestions?!

Wishful Wednesday

Well, I survived the ridiculousness that was the past 10 days.  Lead teaching, conferences, and St. Patrick's Day weekend.  And somehow I only managed to be out sick one day this week. My apologies for being MIA, but sometimes life is just crazy.  I know we all have busy weeks/months/years and somehow we always make it through.  Cheers to that.   However, I don't think life will slow down all too much until graduation on May 19th [ummm that's less than 2 months away, WHAT?!].  But in reality, I would rather be busy than bored.  I truly can't remember the last time I was bored so I'll take that as a good sign. 

Growing up, my parents made a big deal about birthdays.  While I love my birthday, I really do love celebrating friends' and family's birthdays just as much as my own, if not more.  That being said, my birthday is just one month (and a day) away so why not get a little wishful the next few Wednesdays?

As for my first Wishful Wednesday, I went for two classics.  These timeless pieces can be paired with any of the latest trends: floral, neon, pastel. That's why I love them even more.  Not only are they beautiful, they are versatile. Win, win.

Trust me, the next Wishful Wednesdays will be filled with much more color.

What are you wishing for these days?
