Beauty Wish List

beauty wish list by quartknee42 on polyvore.com

Any time I find a product online or in a magazine that I want to try, I add to the notes section of my iPhone.  This list is pretty long, but sometimes I'm nervous to spend the money on the products that may or may not work.  With that being said, I have put together some of the items on my wish list, and if any of you have tried them, please let me know!

Outfit Crush

{Atlantic-Pacific}

It's so nice when I actually have all of the elements to recreate one of the outfits that I'm crushing on.  I have had my leopard flats, black pants, and orange jacket in constant rotation the past month or so, but I haven't combined them all in one outfit yet.  I think I'll have to recreate this look very soon!

Trend Watch :: Ladylike Purses

I've already blogged about a couple of spring's fashion trends (Polka dots and color blocking) that I'm looking forward to, but I couldn't help but add another to the list.  The idea of a ladylike purse is so fun and refreshingly structured compared to a tote bag or hobo style purse.  I especially love ones with a top handle, so that you can carry it in a different way.

Styling Bookcases

{Books by Color}

I'm in the process of styling a new bookcase/media cabinet that my boyfriend and I bought.  Of course, the first place I went to for inspiration was Pinterest.  These are a few of my favorite shelf looks, and our bookcase is leaning more toward the eclectic mixture of elements.

Fill in the Blank Friday

{The Little Things We Do}

1.  The love of my life is Tanner!

2.   Falling in love is a gradual process. It's something that continues happening throughout a relationship and over time you fall even deeper in love...if you put in the effort that is. // I completely agree!

3.  Marriage is something I look forward to one day!

4. The longest relationship I've ever had was/is three years.

5. The key to a good relationship is compromise and forgiveness.

6. I feel loved when I'm holding hands or kissing my boyfriend or when someone does something thoughtful for me.  

7.  My favorite quote about love is I don't have a favorite, but I really like this quote "Love more, worry less."

Happy Weekend!!

Outfit Crush

{Refinery 29}

I love this look of someone during Fashion Week matching her heels and pants.  I've thought about matching my red pants with some red heels but wasn't sure if it would be too much, and now I'm certain that I have to give it a try!

Everybody Everywear :: Pink + Red

{Button-Up: Forever 21, Tank: Aeropostale, Pants: Old Navy, Heels: Ralph Lauren}

I was excited to step out of my comfort zone a little bit for this month's EBEW, pink and red.  My love of my red pants has been documented fairly accurately on my blog (seen here and here), but I wasn't sure how to pair them with pink.  I opted to wear a light pink tank top under my sheer white blouse since I didn't have a pink shirt that contrasted enough with red.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
