Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin'

I have created, yet another "Fall Wish List". This time I actually do not own any of the items that I'm "wishing" for. We have a few holidays coming up (Columbus Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving), who would like to send me a care package?? :)

Fall Wish List Part 2



Ever since Amanda and Biana posted about this bag, well what can I say, it's fully on my radar now and really, I could use a taupe bag to match the taupe booties I have. It's only right, right? Happy Halloween to Lauren? How can I sneak this purse into my collection??

I've really been wanting a black watch for the fall and winter, since last year. I really enjoy this Kate Spade one, however a more affordable option would be the Instant Splash Chronograph Watch ($25!) from Charming Charlie's. Oh, I wouldn't mind this one too. #crazycatlady

Plaid scarves are all the rage this fall. Or was it last fall? Well, I started googling "plaid scarf" and found that Zara had these last year. Forgive me blogger for I have sinned but what the hell is Zara? Is it an online only store, or can I actually go to one in person.  Regardless, Zara's "Plaid Tartan Scarf" is sold out but the one available on Amazon is only $24 plus shipping.  Someone in the comments said it reminded them of the Zara one, and "blogger" is in the title of the item so I guess this is a blogger staple item. Whatever, I want! P.S. I just re-googled "plaid scarf" and the glitter guide popped up from Nov. 2013. Last years trend still going strong this year! I got this scarf two weekends ago with a coupon for $10. Who knew MK and Ashley still had a fashion line? P.S. it looks way cuter in person.

A plaid skirt and camel colored blazer. I've been a blazer freak lately, wearing at least 1x a week. I have navy, black, pink and now it's only fitting to throw in a camel colored one!  I prefer to wear dresses and skirts to work, because I LOATHE dress pants. Like give me freezing legs or dress pants and I'll take the freezing legs anytime.  I have a few pencil skirts, grey, black and a navy-ish but I like the idea of the plaid once again.

The clarisonic Mia has been on my mind for quite some time as well. I've heard mixed reviews about them that either people love them or hate them. Do you have a Clarisonic Mia and how do you feel about it?  I've really been amping up my skincare routine and hope to share that next month to see if I have gotten results from what I've been doing. I was thinking that this would be a great addition to my routine to really clean out my pores

Who knew that you would need to transition statement necklaces? I didn't think so. But looking at my hot pink, turquoise and coral collection, I'm thinking they need to be placed away and taken out for Spring 2015.  One piece I'm lacking in my collection is a rhinestone/crystal statement necklace. Who can find me some affordable pieces (under $20). 

As  you've read in past posts, I'm really not a makeup queen.  I was browsing pinterest and saw this cute Bobbi Brown palette and I was just suckered into the colors.  I've had the Naked Palette and I actually gave it away to a friend because I never used it.  That killed me really because of how much money it cost.  I'm a little disappointed that this Bobbi Brown seems to be on the super pricey end, but I really enjoy her cream eyeliner and wouldn't mind having this.

For shits and giggles, a Tory Burch fitbit. I never use my polar FT4 watch anymore. I can't be bothered with the band around my chest honestly.  It's just too much.  Mainly because it's too big for me on the smallest setting, so I had my mom sew in extra loops to make it tighter. But still, the band around my chest really pisses me off.  In comes the fitbit.  On the Tory Burch website this neckace looks really cute (obviously couldn't wear to gym) but I'm wondering how large this is in person. Does anyone use a fitbit and how does it compare to other fitness trackers?

Lastly, the iPhone 6. I currently have the 5 and what can I say, I like to be up-to-date with the latest and greatest gadgets.  I had contemplated doing the "AT&T Next" program, where you can purchase the phone and pay in monthly installments but no joke, it ends up being almost $700 dollars (aka full retail price).  I knew it would be, but when you think to yourself "oh, 30 bucks a month! not bad! i'm saving that on gas taking the van now!" and okay, yeah, no big deal. But when it adds up, who the hell am I? CRAZY!?! YES.  For now, I will have to have googoo-gaga eyes at Rachel's phone because she will be getting it soon (she had an iPhone 4...oh my lanta!). Seriously though, who wouldn't want this adorable case???

  1. Ok. I think it's safe to say that you've turned into a Kate Spade addicted, but I love it bc I am too! I'm loving this wish list, especially the KS watch and Ann Taylor purse. I love that cute KS iphone 6 case too! Whoever sends you these items...send them my way too!

  2. What do you MEAN what is Zara?!?! I love that store. No, it is not online only, it's at Willowbrook and I think Paramus malls. Affordable statement necklaces can be found at TJMaxx/Forever21. I have an iPhone 4 too! I just can't keep up with new technology!

  3. I have a Mia and I am so-so about it. I have really sensitive skin though, so that may have something to do with it. I do admit it gets off makeup really well! However the only time I use it is with exfoliating cleanser when I have dry skin.

  4. I have the mia and I think the key with it is making sure you don't over use it!! I use mine on avg about 3 times a week and its just the right amount for me. I had a fit bit (the one that clipped) and then lost it - now I want to get the tracker that goes on your wrist - so I can wear it more often like a bracelet - I'll report back lol! And I love the bag :)

  9. Alright, I should just send this directly to my husband because I love all of these things! I have been debating back and forth about that Ann Taylor bag but have picked it up. The only way I heard about Zara is because of the scarf last year. Not a huge fan of the current colors this year so I would love to pick up one like last years. My go to for statement necklaces is charming charlie right now I love their prices!!

  10. If you trade your iPhone 5 in at Verizon you get $200, making the iPhone 6 free ;) Just an option. The camera is amazing so it's worth it just for that!

  11. Seriously, all you do is make me spend money. What kind of relationship is this??? ;)
    That Ann Taylor bag is GORGEOUS. I wish it came in black.
    I'm too scared to try the Clarisonic, because I don't want to deal with breakouts....

  12. so i have a clarisonic and i do like it...i don't go all crazy telling people how obsessed i am with it, bc i'm not...YET. i haven't noticed anything major about my skin, but i will say that i like that it forces me to scrub my face for at least 30 seconds whereas if i just used my hands i'd probably wash for like um 10 seconds?? and i know it's doing a heck of a better job than my fingertips would. i'm sure it's exfoliating and all that jazz. pro tip: if you do buy it, you can get the refills on ebay for WAY cheaper. i just got two for like 6 bucks and they're usually like 30 a pop.
