{Weekly Wants}

I'm currently working on a look I saw first on Blake Lively. Of course, my version will look nothing like this gorgeous girl. I stumbled on to this unlikely outfit one day online. I was SO excited because it was a little more extreme than the outfits I usually put together and I LOVED  it!! It was the perfect solution to my blank canvas with my blue pair of pants. 

Anyhow, this is irrelevant to this post. It's just to let you know that I'm working on an outfit post for this week and I hope it turns out as planned.

BUT FOR NOW...

I've put together my weekly wants. I feel so overwhelmed by the Spring 2013 looks coming my way. There are just so many beautiful things I want to flock to the store and pick up. Since I'm ballin' on a major budget right now, I'll bide my time. BUT here are two looks full of pieces that I'm dying for:


I love the bold color trend that is going to be so big. I've always been an accessories girl, but I'm lovin' that these accessories make the outfit. I've already busted out my bright red steve madden bag because I love this one!




Have I ever mentioned how much I love Tory Burch? I don't own a single piece by her, but I wish I had a closet full. I want some flats more than anything. Everything in this look is Tory Burch with the exception of the leggings. I love the pattern leggings, especially with a solid top. I think Yellow and Grey is a gorgeous combination. Speaking of yellow and grey, Tori Spelling's vow renewal was yellow and grey themed. Who doesn't love the Tory's?

In a Nutshell...

My Week. The common theme this week was most definitely caffeine. I put a full week of work in and classes started again. I'm really excited for the semester, but I'll tell you what I'm not excited about.....waking up at 5 a.m. I'm just not a morning person. Never have been, and I'm assuming I never will be. Why can't everybody adopt this lifestyle? Wouldn't the world be a better place if we all slept until 11? Yes, I know I sound like a 14 year old on summer break but I love my sleep.

Don't judge.




Please try this green tea, I think it will change your life. Maybe. I needed a good alternative to coffee so I bought this Acai, Dragonfruit, and Melon tea. Add a little splenda and it tastes like you are drinking skittles. You're welcome.


This was my sink by Friday. Survive and advance.


Have you ever tried Starbucks' Chai Tea Latte? It is DE-lish. So pumped about my $50 gift card, I'm gonna burn it up.

Needless to say after all the caffeine, school, and work, I've never been happier to see home on Friday night. I had to take a picture of the gorgeous sky.


On a totally random note, how precious is this puppy? No, he isn't mine, but if I didn't have a conscience I would have slipped him in my purse and run away.


Last but not least, I was feeling a little western this week and super excited I could pull an outfit out of the closet that was appropriate for 60 degree weather. Don't get me wrong though, I still love my winter attire. 

(sorry no husband photographer)



Have a great week!
