Birthday Wishlist 2016
It's almost May.
This year has been flying by, and I'm about to be 24.
Yikes.
This time last year, I was still reeling from a breakup and struggling through my first semester of grad school. I will be the first to say that everything can change in a year. I'll do a more firm update in a few weeks, because the next few weeks are packed with even more change for me. It's been crazy, but I've been loving it.
This year, I feel like my birthday wishlist reflects this, I think. I'm in the market for a few practical things, like camping supplies, but I'd rather share the fun things with you guys.
Presenting my totally frivolous wishlist. :)
Bite Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Persimmon | Sephora | $26
I like Bite on principle, and I've never been disappointed by their lipsticks or their customer service. I've been coveting these from a far, and would love to add one into my collection, or, better yet, take a trip to the Bite Lip Lab in Manhattan.
Fit and Flare Butterfly Dress by Closet London | Modcloth | $89.99
I've been looking at clothes differently as I get ready to switch careers. Everything I buy now needs to fit into my "teacher wardrobe", but still be fun, and me. I love my cute dresses, and ths is modest enough to wear to school, but the butterflies give it a fun and flirty element too.
The 52 Lists Project: A Year of Weekly Journaling Inspiration | Amazon | $10.90
I like to journal, but I really need some structure or I lose track of them very quickly. I like the idea of using this to keep tracks of lists, or for filling out on some roadtrips I have coming up.
You've Been Mangoed Luxury Bath Oil | Lush | $3.50
A new product from Lush, this bath oil is designed to lift spirits and give you an energy boost. Some days it feels like I do nothing but drink coffee. I definitely need the boost, and this might help just a little.
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Moonstone | Ulta | $38
Ugh. Becca is so hyped. So hyped. But I'm falling for it. I want that way too over-the-top highlight, and I think that this is the shade to give that to me.
Cameron Street Candace Satchel | Kate Spade | $378
This also falls under the realm of "teacher wardrobe". I am looking for a bag that can hold everything, but is also cute. It's been a few years since I've bought a high-end handbag, and I'm ready to add another to the mix. Adventure Blue is also definitely the color that was named for me.
Stila Correct and Perfect All-In-One Correcting Palette | Ulta | $45
The packaging on this is adorable, and the formula is out of this world. I'm looked at it in the store, but I haven't bit the bullet on this yet. I'm interested in playing around more with the color correcting trend, and this palette has it all.
Happy Bathday | Lush | $49.95
Also on the relaxation band wagon, I love this. In addition to the luxury bath oil I mentioned below, this has everything I need to relax after a long day with 3 bath bombs and 3 bubble bars. Wonderful.
Lucerne Apron | Anthropologie | $28
I like to cook, and I think this is just fun. It's an adorable little apron to throw on over one of my aforementioned adorable dresses, taking me from kitchen to date night. And everything from Anthro is just too cute.
That's what I'm coveting at the moment (and also some plane tickets haha)! I'm also in the process of moving (more on that later!) so hopefully I'll be filling a few gaps in my collection soon.
What's on your right-now wishlist?
