wishful wednesday: beauty editionHere are some things that this merrymaker is wishing for:Essie's GO OVERBOARD!It's the perfect jewel tone to wear until spring!(wishful wednesday cheat: I actually bought it today and I am SO obsessed with it.)

(via)UPDATE: The Go Overboard looks so dark on my fingers and maybe my two coats were too much (??) Let me know if you try this and get different/same results

I bought my sister-in-law a different, huge Urban Decay palette for Christmas... #1 because she already has this (lucky) and #2 she adores their pigments and shades.  I want to get this for myself because it's amaaaaazing and perfect for everyday wear. (You can get it online from Ulta with free shipping...I'll take one too! kthanksbye)

(via)
Kate Spade's eau de perfume Twirl is like a party for your nostrils.  I fell in love with it when I received a sample in my Ulta order, and I can't wait to save up the cash to buy this pricey baby.

The Nars lipstick, Heat Wave, has been heating up the blogosphere.  I'm all about it.  Not every lipstick looks fantastic on everyone, but I am willing to give this one a run-through at my local beauty sto'.Tried it? Want to try it? Own it? Let me know.

(via, via)

Lastly, I wish for the time to schedule my mani/pedi/margarita that I got with a Living Social deal. And for the courage to get my hair cut because for some reason, I keep chickening out.(I swear, that's a phobia, right?)

happy hump day.

i don't know what to do with my hands.

hey everybody!

come see how dorky i look!

(anchorman, anyone?)

I think it's my hair.Not the best way to wear a headband on a windy day-but i do like mixing stripes and leopard prints.I like to break rules.
(i also like sweet + sour filled twizzlers.)

{jeans: ROSS, striped v-neck: OLD NAVY, vest: RAINBOW, necklace: SISTER'S ROOM :)

I can't remember which blog I was reading, but one blogger wrote about how she felt lazy when she wore her most comfy tee, even if she accessorized it.  I think that if it's comfy and cute- YOU WON THE ENSEMBLE LOTTERY, yo. sorry for yelling.but- it's true.
SO enough of dorky me.WISHFUL WEDNESDAY:I wish for everything pictured below...to be magically makeover-ed in my house.now.

the most dreamiest bedroom ever

chairs i'd kill for... okay not really.

piggy plants for everyone

kitchen wonderland

wonder woman

So, after four hours of lack luster sleep (and pushing snooze for an hour), I finally got up this morning.  Then I rewarded myself for my good behavior (fantastic exam grades, ahem, i'm awesome) by skipping my second class and going window shopping.  

Not the best strategy, but I'm a big supporter of rewarding yourself.

And shopping.

Boy, did I stand out today on campus.

I felt like I was rockin a serious wonder woman color scheme.

Like if she wore a cardigan.

Or pants.
