May Wishlist

May is almost here and I couldn't be more excited! I love May. The weather is great, everything comes to life, and it means Summer is just around the corner. I tried to keep my Wishlist small for this month but alas...I did not. ~ Oops! Now as I said in my April Wishlist, I may not end up getting any of these things any time soon or I may go out and buy them the next day. These Wishlist posts are more of a reminder so I can look back in a week, a month, a year or whenever to remember all the wonderful goodies I was wishing for. Enjoy.

1 ($15) || 2 ($9) || 3 ($14) || 4 ($6) || 5 ($9) || 6 ($99) || 7 ($70) || 8 ($130)

1. Half of my Wishlist items are jewelry pieces from Forever 21. I can't help myself! They have such cute jewelry for a very inexpensive price. This necklace is stunning. I was browsing through their website about a week ago and instantly fell in love with this necklace. I'd love to have a little more bling in my wardrobe and this would do just the trick.
2. If you're like me and pretty much want everything that's boho and turquoise, then you're going to love this bracelet. It caught my eye of their site and it's been on my mind ever since. It's a versatile piece and would add a fun vibe to any outfit.
3. There's not much to say about this little ring besides that's it's the most dainty and adorable thing I've seen. Unfortunately, it's currently sold out on their website but I'm hoping they'll restock soon. Midi rings are one of my favorite ways to accessories. They are very easy to wear. I think they add a chic touch and you can layer them up like crazy.
4. The last jewelry piece from Forever 21 on my list is this stylish spike necklace. It's very simple and it will go well with similar pieces. I imagine styling it with a plain white blouse, some navy colored pants, and a pair of leopard flats. ~ So cute!
5. Now I know this item is kind of random but come on, it's perfect! If you didn't know this about me...I'm obsessed with everything from the Nate Berkus line at Target. I think it's affordable and it incorporates all my favorite colors. This pencil pouch would look great on my desk and since it's only $9, I may have to get one soon!
6. This. Necklace. Is. Perfection. I can't stress how badly I want this necklace. I've always adored nameplate necklaces but with this one being nearly $100, I don't think I'll have one any time in the near future. In case you're interested in getting one for yourself they have a coupon right now for %15 off so get it while you can! Just type in TAKE15OFF at checkout for the discount to be applied.
7. Of course your girl has to have shoes on her Wishlist. This month I decided to put these beauts from Steve Madden on the list. The style is called Latvian and the color I want is called Natural Snake. For me, these are more realistic shoes I'd invest in. Mainly because Steve Madden is always high quality and I think they would go with just about everything. 
8. The last item on my list for the month of May are these INSANE heels from Steve Madden's collaboration with Iggy Azalea. Personally, I think Iggy blows others out of the park with her style. Not only that but the confidence she carries. If I were wearing these heels walking down the street, I think I'd feel a little bit more of that confidence.

*Edit* There is now a coupon for Steve Madden products! Use the code APR15 for %15 off. There is also a printable coupon for in-store purchases only of %20 off, here.

Thank you so much for reading my May Wishlist post. Leave a comment telling me what's on your radar for next month. I hope you enjoyed reading.

Stay brilliant world.

Recent Purchases

I wanted to let you all see a few things I've purchased recently and quickly fallen in love with. 

You can buy this CHI Silk Infusion here for $25.50.

I've had my eye on this product for a few years now and recently I was shopping for some fun haircare products and saw it on the shelf. I was immediately reminded of all the good things I've heard about it and it was only $12 at the store I was at! So of course I added it to my hand basket. I've only used it once since I got it but oh my god guys! It's phenomenal! The smell, the texture, the packaging, it's all so lovely. It worked very well. It keeps your ends nice and healthy looking even through all the curling  and straightening. You should try it out if your looking for a little something extra to make your hair look fabulous.

You can get It's a 10 Miracle Leave-in Product here for $18.00.

This has been a holy grail product of mine for so many years now. I'm contemplating making a blog post just for it alone. I swear by this stuff. If you have ends that can be a little dry or maybe you just want your hair to be softer then you should try this out. I started using it when I was transitioning from my platinum blonde to the natural color I have now. I wanted to just let it grow out but I found my ends would dry so brittle! So I started using this to combat the breakage and it worked wonderfully. I haven't looked back since. It comes in quite a few different sizes so if the 4 oz. isn't for you, I believe there's a smaller size they offer. It's a little pricey for the amount of actual product you get but to me the results it gives are worth every penny.

I picked mine up from Urban Outfitters for $10.00 but you can get it on Amazon for only $6.63 here.

The original Wreck This Journal was immensely popular. I still have the original book and use it occasionally. There are so many pages in the big one! This book is it's adorable little sister. It's called Wreck This Journal Everywhere. It stands at about 4x6 inches and it's perfect for those spontaneous, on the go adventures. It fits just right in my bucket bag and is always there if I'm out and about and need something creative to do. There aren't as many pages, and it contains a lot of wreck it your own way pages, but I still love it so much. Little books like these remind you not to take life too seriously and just live the adventure. Although I must say...there's a "put dead bugs here" page I won't be using any time soon.

You can either pick it up at your local Target or get it online here for $29.99.
Just call and give them this number if you want it in store! 024 06 3670

This charming, oddly shaped bag is something I walked by at work about 40 times before I finally bought it. It took me a while to decide whether I liked it or thought it was just too weird. $30 later, I think you can guess what I decided. It reminds me of Paris for some reason. Coming from a girl who has only been there in her dreams, that probably means nothing. None the less, it makes me so happy. I am totally into stripes right now so that was a plus, but the main reason I chose to get it was because of how well it fits my DSLR. I wanted something that would be able to hold my camera, wallet, keys, and all that other extra crap girls carry in their bag, without it getting all banged up. This bag was the perfect fit! I don't own any other backpacks so I'm a little confused on how to style it. If you have any suggestions as to what I should do, please leave them down in the comments below. 

Isn't it so cute?

The last thing I got recently is this fun pillow from the Nate Berkus collection at Target. It was on a clearance end cap and I quickly grabbed it and brought it to the registers to check out. Who doesn't like a good decorative pillow for cheap? I love pretty much anything Nate Berkus related. His line at Target is to die for. 

Can my whole room be designed by Nate? Please?!

I'm not too sure as to the price, just because it was on clearance and I already threw the tag away but I think it was around $12.50. ALWAYS look in the clearance section at Target loves, you never know what you might find. They have new great deals every day. 

Well that's it for me. I should be saving my money but sometimes there are things you just can't pass up. I hope you enjoyed this blog post and thank you so much for reading. 

Stay brilliant world.
