Long time, no post! School has been crazy for a while now, and I've been spending a ton of time doing school and extra-curricular related things. Spring semester may mean warming weather, but it also means dance showcases, Accepted Students Days, and lots of work.
Last weekend was our Homecoming, which we do in conjunction with our Lacrosse season (Go Hop!), and I had a complete blast with my sisters and friends. Then this coming week we have Spring Fair, a completely student-run carnival on campus. Lots of chaos and fun ensues, so I wanted to make sure that all my work was out of the way before the weekend hits!
Now that I'm like waaaaaay too ahead on homework, I have a bunch of free time to think up some blogposts and write it out! Today I'm showcasing my May wishlist, since all I've been doing besides my work is window shopping online. I can't get enough of all the cute things that summer has to offer!
1 // Tassels
I am obsessed with all things tassels and I don't even know it. I was showing my roommate my Forever 21 shopping cart yesterday when she stopped me and said that she'd "have to cap the number of tasseled items I can order to three." I wasn't even thinking about it, but honestly everything is so much better with tassels. I had these items (one - two - three) in my shopping cart, and I could have easily added more. Also, as pictured above, the DIY tassel bracelet is all the rage. I have a ton of leftover friendship bracelet string back home - I know what I'll be crafting this summer!
2 // Going Out Tops
This is soooo important now that I'm going out more at school. When prepping for college, I didn't think that much about this, but you really do need clothes for going out! When most of my ensemble consists of button down shirts and cable knit sweaters, it's hard to figure out what to wear when you're headed out for a fun night, especially when you don't want to wear things you care about (note: frat houses are dirty, dirty places that also get really hot). This spring and summer, I know I'll be on the lookout for more tops to wear out, and my best friend has the same goal in mind, so I know we have some fun shopping trips in store. Let me know if you have any suggestions of where to search!!
3 // Bralettes
Along the same vein, bralettes have been on my wishlist the past month or so, and I'm looking to get my hands on some soon. They are great for layering under loose fitting crop tops and big tanks that have deep armholes. Since I'm little, it can be difficult finding tank tops that are good for going out and don't have gigantic armholes.. Bralettes are the perfect, cute fix to that problem!
4 // Delicate Jewelry
When I scrolled across this picture the other day I thought it was honestly so perfect. I love all her delicate rings (check out that #hashtag one though!) and her nail polish is spot on. Yay for pretty hands on Tumblr. I love the look of really simple, delicate jewelry and so I swooned when I got my Baublebar email today saying that they are having UP TO 70% OFF items in order to make way for new merch!! I have been on the hunt for the perfect simple gold necklace, and I loooove their Morse Code Initial Pendant. *swoons* It's on my shopping list for sure this month!
5 // WATAMELON
Gosh darn it this fruit is everywhere! I am dying (and based on the recent interactions I've had with my roommate, I mean DYING) to get my hands on a watermelon printed bag. While this Kate Spade tote really takes the cake, there are few smaller clutches and crossbodies that have caught my eye (one - two - three - four). I'm itching for one of these so badly, as I have romanticized visions of me at summer barbecues nonchalantly sporting my watermelon clutch and being the hot gossip of the day, as if I were Sarah Vickers or Caitlin Covington. #yesplease I'm all about the watermelone.
6 // Bucket Bags
Particularly in the color mint, these are a new favorite of mine. I don't know what I'm going to do with all these bags haha! But the new bucket shape seems to actually be very classic, and it's a fun twist on a little crossbody. J.Crew's awesome Downing Bucket Bag is great, and I found this super awesome dupe at Kohl's - for way less than half the price!
7// Dinosaurs
Jurassic World is coming out (check out this sick movie poster that I'm actually kind of afraid of) soon and that means that my brother and I get to relive our childhood days of watching Jurassic Park movies and having "Barbie Cruises" where Barbie travels to the Dinosaur Island on vacation. Dinosaur prints, dinosaur motifs, you name it, I'm freaking out over it!
8 // Lilly for Target!!
My mom was my hero during this Lilly for Target madness! She scored tons of pieces at my local store and even said that people were not that crazy while shopping. Shocking, I know, given all the media attention LillyxTarget has gotten for being absolutely insane. I am counting down the days til I can get home and try on all the goodies my mom got, and see what fits! Everything is so adorable, and I'm grateful that I was able to get a bunch of things. Thanks, hometown, for not being Lilly obsessed!
9 // Throwback Styles
My style has been a complete throwback recently! From my white Chucks/striped tee shirt dress / denim shirt tied around the waist Full House '90s OOTD, to my current craving for bell bottoms, it's safe to say that I'm paying my respects to my elders as I appreciate some good old fashioned clothing. I want to rock some high waisted flares with a flowy top (I'm thinking tasseled top #1 from above) and some chunky heels or wedges. Then I can get my Saturday Night Fever audition tape ready, cuz I'm digging this 1970s trend.
10 // Beach Cruiser
I love speeding around at the beach on a bike, and I have been in dire need of one for a while now. I want something super simplistic and in a fun color, like baby pink, or 1950s refrigerator green. And my mom and I are in loooove with the Lilly Pulitzer printed bikes - where can I get one?!
That's it for today - my Top Ten Wishlist items for May. Comment below with your wishlist picks!
