Wishlist Wednesday

It's that time of week! To be honest, this Wednesday really sprung up on me. I don't know where all the time went, but nevertheless here we are, and it's time to get started! Disclaimer: I own none of these images. They were taken from the sites I linked below.



This really intrigues me because I read an article a few weeks back on how good snail guts (for lack of a better term. Gross) are actually really good for our skin.  Korea is really on the ball with this whole snail-skin treatment stuff, and this product/brand is actually from Korea.  Normally, with makeup and skincare products, I like to link back to the brand's site itself.  However, in this case, the websites is Korean made, and although you can view it in English, it can still be a bit confusing.  Here it is, if you still want to check it out. 




A weird fact about me: As of right now I only own MAC Lipsticks and nothing else. Weird, right? There's really no in-depth explanation as to why that is; it's motley just because when I stop by the MAC stand at my local Nordstrom, my attention just automatically goes to the lipstick section.  When I saw this palette, though, I wanted to add it to my collection of eye shadows.  There isn't really much to say other than I really want to give this palette a shot and hopefully I will!



I absolutely adore two piece dresses, as well as all black/white outfits, and this covers both perfectly.  Just saw this honestly a few minutes ago and had to add it to the list.  What I especially like about this is that if you click on the link and view the pictures, you will see that these pieces are actually attached together by the back zipper, which is pretty nifty (didn't expect to throw the word "nifty" out so soon on this blog but it's too late to turn back now).  I very much want to get my hands on this dress as soon as possible– hence why it's now on my wish list! 



I think I may have a slight obsession with bras/bralettes. I acknowledge that and accept that. With that being said, there's a complicity about this particular bra that I love.  This could be thrown under relatively anything and looked incredibly comfortable, so for that reason I would love to own this. They also have it in black with a white waistband! 



Now, I've already mentioned Banks on this blog– in yesterday's "Tuesday Tunes" post, actually! Which only adds to why I can't wait to get ahold of this vinyl. What I love about vinyls coming back is that they almost always come with the digital music download, so I can have it both on my phone and playing on my Crosley. This LP has some of my favorites by Banks, including "This Is What It Feels Like", "Drowning", "Change", and "Warm Water". 

And that's it for this week! Let me know your opinions on these items, especially if you have any of them/anything similar!

Wishlist Wednesday

I've decided to start being proactive with this blog and try to post on a regular basis. To help me do this, I'm going to have themes for certain days of the week. Wednesdays will be "Wishlist Wednesday" from here on out! Here I will just share a few things that have caught my eye in the past week or so and explain why I would love to eventually have my hands on. Let's get started!
(Disclaimer: These pictures are all taken from the sites I found them on, I do not own them!)

1. Craie Boutique Craie Convertible Backpack

I saw this on Free People's site and instantly fell in love; a love that quickly turned to heartbreak when my eyes scanned over the price. I love satchel-styled bags in general and the one that I have now is adorable, however very much a spring/summer purse (pastel yellow with scalloped edges). The wine-colored leather is to die for and this can be worn as both a satchel and a backpack, depending on how you adjust the straps. I feel like I could wear this throughout the city because it's small and convenient that I would feel comfortable having it across my back.

2. Oh So Lovely "Julianne" Bralette in Blanc


 Lately I've been a huge fan of bralettes and laced, wire free undergarments. They've become not only a necessity but an accessory, for example with a large tunic or sweater falling off one shoulder and having a peak of a soft blue bralette strap. Another reason why I love bralettes? They're far more comfortable than stiff-underwire bras. For days when you want to be cute and comfortable, a bralette is the one you want underneath a few warm layers. I found this store on their Instagram and was drawn to their cute designs. The fact that you can order your bralette with custom measurements is definitely bonus. Pretty sure I've said bralette at least once in every one of these sentences but oh well.

3. Baum Und Pferdgarten Eira T-Shirt with Slogan


I love this shirt. When I first read the right-side-up writing I nodded in approval. Good quote, great song, figures that it would end up on a shirt. It's the upside-down part that made me actually laugh out loud. I'm always a fan of sassy shirts that aren't too in-your-face about it. In my opinion there is a fine line between funny and too-much when it comes to sarcasm on clothing, but I would definitely wear this shirt with pride.

4. Benefit Cosmetics "That Gal" Brightening Face Primer

I bought a box of Benefit Cosmetic samples around the beginning of August, and one of them was "That Gal" and I fell in love with it. On the days where my skin decided to cooperate with me and not have too many flaws I would wear only that, no foundation, and my face would glow the entire day. I'm almost out of this sample now and have to use it sparingly, but I hope relatively soon I will be able to get a full-sized one.

I've heard a lot of good reviews from fellow makeup lovers, and to be honest, I'm insanely curious. I've never actually bought myself a brush set, because up until this year I haven't been very educated on the specifics of beauty brushes. I own a lot of Eco Tools brushes from here and there and they're good but I'd like to spoil myself with an actual set one day. One can hope!

That's it for this week! Do you guys have any of these items, or something similar? Comment below and let me know how you like them! I'd love to hear any and all feedback.
