- summer wishlist

Yay for crappy iPhone quality photos!

As you well know, summer is HERE and that means lots of time to stay up late and look online at all the things my heart desires. (I'm definitely not the only one who does this, right?) That being said, I've compiled a list of things on my "wishlist." Some of which I may have to go out and splurge on because when I really want something, I find a way to get it. We'll call that...determination! :) I've included a link to each of the products if you find they intrigue you as well - just click their names.

Cortex 4-in-1 Curling Rod

I saw this product on a video that Bunny aka grav3yardgirl posted on her YouTube  channel  (check her out!) and I fell in love with the concept. I never use the clamp on the ancient Revlon curling iron I have, so I've been wanting a wand, but never really felt justified in buying one. The magic element about this one is that it has interchangeable barrels of various sizes for you to pick and choose what kind of curls you want. I know.

Polka Dot Platform Wedges

I've been having a love affair with polka dots lately so obviously these wedges from Forever 21 were calling my name. I've been going back to the website a few times a day just to stare at them because I feel like they were made for me. 

Q&A a Day 5 Year Journal

This journal from Anthropologie (and other places online now that I've been looking around) has such a unique idea. It poses a question for you to write about every day and leaves space for the same day, same question for the next four years. That way you can see how your answers progress as you grow and change in life. As a writer who sometimes finds herself in a rut with nothing new to say, I think it's a great way to anthologize your writings and to get your thoughts flowing with a prompted question.

Clarisonic Mia 2 Blossom

I currently have a "first generation" Mia and I love it. They're a bit on the expensive side, but they really do wonders for your skin. When Clarisonic made the Mia 2, they added the button to change the speed that the head spins and I believe a few other small things. This boxed set is a really good deal for everything it includes. Usually the face washes are $22-25 for full size (in the Clarisonic brand) but I've never tried this Boscia brand before. I really want to upgrade and I love this specific Mia because it's rose printed. I mean how much more perfect could that be?

Kat Von D's Everlasting Liquid Love Lipstick

I've been watching all the seasons of LA Ink on Netflix recently so I've been mildly obsessed with Kat Von D. I knew she had a makeup line out at Sephora but I wasn't really too interested until I noticed a picture she posted on Instagram (which means yes, I follow her) of her lipstick before and after a root canal. It was perfect in the after picture - what?! So it could have been false advertising, but I read the reviews for this lipstick on Sephora's website and the overwhelmingly popular comment is that it is indeed, everlasting. I would like this in the shade Outlaw, please :)

Run Like Ryan Gosling Tank

Okay ladies, I know you've seen this tank circulating the Internet and I finally found the source! Sometimes workouts get tough and even Katy Perry can't pump me up enough, but if I was wearing this I feel like it would give me that little push to run that extra half mile. The image of a (perhaps shirtless) Ryan G cheering me on is quite possibly the best motivation next to dangling chocolate in front of my face. 

I had to add this because I WANT IT SO BADLY. I didn't include a link because there's quite a few different places on eBay that sell them, but really. If someone could buy me this, I feel like my life would be a bit sunshinier. I've had people ask me why I would want these on DVD when I just finished watching every episode a few weeks ago. People, for the amount of love I have for One Tree Hill and the amount of times I will watch this show: the limit does not exist.




What are you loving this summer?
