Christmas 2014 Wishlist

It's the Holiday Season once again! It's my favorite time of year. This year I hid from all the Black Friday madness. I don't even really need or want anything for Christmas. However, I thought it would be a fun little project to create a wishlist for every budget. Which one is your favorite?

Love this little cloud plate for holding my earrings. Under $25 here.

Sweet little earrings for under $40. Get them here.

A cute, polka dotted top for under $50 here.

Mini Jambox to listen to music in the shower for under $100.

A classic, black bag. Under $200 here.

Swedish Hasbeens

 

I have been eyeing Swedish Hasbeens for a while now.  They have this quirky, retro vibe to them and have been around for a while now. They are handmade in Sweden and based on the original 70's model. Lucky Breaks is having a 50% off deal today only! So I swopped up the pair above but wouldn't mind these other two. 

I can't wait to wear them with summer dresses! Let me know which ones you got!

Free Julep Nailpolish!

 

Julep is having a great welcoming gift for the summer. You can get this 5-piece Limited Edition Summer Beauty Box for free with the coupon code HELLOYOU! (with $2.99 shipping). 

I heard of Julep before and was not sure until I saw them on sale for $14 each at Sephora. I decided it was worth a shot and signed up today. You should too! Sign up here!

Spring is here! F21 picks

 

It's officially Spring. The weather in San Francisco has been beyond amazing. It's almost too sunny and too hot. (Sorry to rub it in East Coast. Woops.) But now that Spring is here, I've been thinking of adding lighter fabrics and colors to my wardrobe. I know that I've been trying to get more quality than quantity, but I can't help but look at Forever 21 when I'm still on a budget. These under $20 picks would be a fun way to add a breath of fresh air to my closet.

I'm craving sunshine, pretty painted toenails, and these new babies on my feet.

The Essentials

 

I love grey sweaters. Especially these from Everlane. 

I love the simplicity of their items, and their website. While some may call them basics, I like to think of them as essentials. They have great t-shirts and tanks (which are super soft). I have the v neck and the ryan tank and they are great! I hope to add a few of these sweaters to my closet real soon.

2013 "Real Life" Christmas wishlist

 So the dream wishlist was pretty pricey so I decided to make a quick, more reasonably priced wishlist in case my boyfriend is reading.

 

Tom flats. I have always wanted these. (here)

 

Bumble Bee bobby pins because my name means honey bee in Greek (here)

 

This book because I love her drawings and I have her other book French Milk (here)

 

Banana Republic Ashley Flats. They are the comfiest flats because of their memory foam. Seriously amazing. (here)

 

Candles from Anthropologie. Like any or all of them. They just smell divine. (here)

2013 Dream Christmas Wishlist

There is not much that I want for Christmas this year. I'm very happy with the things I already have and I have realized more than ever this year that it's not about what you get but who you spend these times with. So my wishlist is all aspirational things that I know I don't really need but if I got them would definitely make me smile.

Some new black boots, a cast iron skillet, a bed frame, cozy sweaters and sunglasses. What's on your wishlist this year?

Lodge Cast Iron Skillet (here)
