Summer 2015 Wishlist

It's warming up here, but I know how miserably hot and humid it's going to get in the next couple of months when summer REALLY hits. So I'm enjoying the weather as much as I can now! 

I've had my eyes on a few different things recently as summer rolls around but I can't quite decide what I can afford to cross off my list. Why is everything so expensive? 

1. A Ralph Steadman print - Ralph Steadman did sketches for some of Hunter S. Thompson's books and articles. He's also done illustrations for some editions of Alice in Wonderland, Animal Farm, and Fahrenheit 451 just to name a few. The illustrations he did for Thompson are some of my favorites, as well as his Animal Behaviorist prints. I don't know why I'm so drawn to them! You can see some of his prints here. 

2. A new purse - I've been using the same boring Longchamp for too long, it's time for a new everyday purse. 

3. This dress from Earthbound - I saw it on display while walking downtown and I fell in love. I love the hi lo length, and all of their clothes are so comfortable. 

4. Bite Beauty Watercolor Lip Gloss Library - I'm not too familiar with Bite Beauty but since I've recently become infatuated with lip products, I've taken interest. I read reviews on this set and some said they were sticky (which bothers me), but I still want to give it a try. Does anyone own any Bite Beauty products? 

5. Workout shorts - I have like 2 pairs that are suitable for pilates that still fit me. 

6. Passion tea lemonade - A love of mine all year round! My favorite Starbucks drink - so fruity and sweet and pink. 

7. Chocolate covered strawberries - yeah. 

Have any of you tried the Bite Beauty lip glosses? Or any of their other products? I'm intrigued now. 

What's on your summer wishlist? 

Inspired by: Iced Passion Tea Lemonade

Yep, time for another inspired by post! This time I am being inspired by iced passion tea lemonade from Starbucks. Weird right? But it is such a cute color, especially for summer, and it's such a sweet, refreshing drink (and I'm craving one so bad now, but there is absolutely NO Starbucks in this town my dad lives in. Insanity!). I think this is the first time I've had outfits inspired by an object instead of a movie or something. Here goes nothing :)


Photo taken and (badly) edited by me haha :)

Outfit #1 Daytime

Product info: tank- Old navy, shorts- Almost Famous, sandals- Tory Burch, bag- Forever21, scarf- Debut, sunglasses- Ray Bans, nail polish- OPI.
The key to pulling off such a bold color is starting with a simple outfit, and then adding color with accessories. For this outfit I started with a simple white tank top and denim shorts, and added a dark pink (I'm not sure what color this is...I guess it's kind of a berry pink? If you know comment haha) and a similar color nail polish. Throw in a cute bag, sandals, and black Ray-bans to protect those eyes of yours and you're good to go :) Another idea would be to skip the scarf and layer a berry pink tank top underneath the white tank top (sorry, I don't have enough time to make another outfit, but you get the idea).

Outfit #2 Night time

Product info: dress- Opening Ceremony, heels- Cuteseygirl, clutch- Michael Kors, ring- Fashion addict, earrings- Tiffany's.
Again for night time, keep it simple with a little black dress, then accessorize. For the focal point of my outfit, I chose cute pumps and a big ring. Keep the rest of the outfit classy with simple earrings and a simple black clutch.

Well, that's about it for this post. Remember, keep it simple! Let me know what you think! Have you ever had passion tea lemonade?
