Wishlist... #1

Hello lovelies!
Since I've been so busy with volleyball I haven't had ANY time to shop! I've made a couple purchases here and there but nothing huge or major! Here's what I've been LUSTING after...
THIS BAG! Omg i've been wanting a mini mac for the longest time but i wanted one with gold hardware but not neon pink. This one was PERFECT it's from Bloomingdales unfortunately it's sold out online and in all the stores around me so  I guess it won't be mine anytime soon.. 
Maybe ill settle for this one? From Marc by Marc jacobs
These tory burch miller sandals! Sold out AGAIN... Ugh! These sandals literally go with EVERY outfit casual and dressy! I hate browns and blacks so this pink is PERFECT! 

Shorts.... Drooling after shorts!! I've been doing some DIYs but these fabric high waisted ones I love and they are super flattering and comfy for summer! The way that they cinch real tight at the waist and flow out just perfect! 
From urban outfitters! 
From shophopes.com ! 
From topshop
From Tobi.com
I love rings! And let's just be honest here I'm a mermaid! The perfect ring to add to my everyday jewelry collection
The perfect sunnies for summer! From Kate spade! I want them in the light pink color(which of course is sold out)

Outfit of the Day: mixing pink and pink

Hello girlies! Today I'm sharing a quick outfit of the day from last week when I grabbed lunch with my mom. It was a beautiful, sunny day here in Texas and my day was extra sunny because there was a package for me in the mail that morning. Don't you just LOVE the feeling of getting packages? I sure do. This one was from derng and I'll admit I was semi disappointed when I tore open the box. I had ordered the may flowers necklace in pink and I had expected it to be a light pastel pink as I had seen on her Instagram (I ordered it off her flash sale) but instead it was a kinda iridescent warm blush pink color and I wasn't so crazy about it. As I was choosing my outfit that day I realized almost nothing in my (admittingly all pink wardrobe) matched the odd pink color of the necklace. I knew I had to go with a white top but I didnt want to go with plain black shorts. I tried on my beloved jcrew neon pink chino shorts and loved the pop of color it gave but it didn't exactly match the necklace. Here is my stroke of genius guys: I had just bought a forever 21 belt the EXACT same shade as the necklace and the odd pink paired of the belt with the neon pink of the shorts were perfect for the outfit. Paired with my favorite and well loved steve madden sandals it was my favorite outfit I wore the whole week.
Isn't she pretty?

Top: H&M
Shorts: jcrew factory
Belt: forever 21

My everyday jewelry


Jewelry can add so much to any outfit. It makes you look pulled together and is the perfect finishing touch. Jewelry is like the sprinkles and frosting on top of a cupcake; fine without it but it brings it to a whole new level of perfection. Don't get me wrong, I love my chunky, colorful statement jewelry but when it comes to everyday I wouldn't be wearing my favorite statement necklace because that's exactly what is it, a statement. However, there are a few key pieces that I wear everyday that look amazing with any outfit and even layered with other statement pieces. When you first look at someone's outfit you would obviously notice whatever item that was the "statement" of their outfit. Your eyes will naturally be more drawn to a neon pair of jeans or big beaded necklace then a small, simple, dainty necklace. But when I'm talking to someone and  I catch a glimpse of a little, pretty necklace it makes me think "oh wow she took the time and effort to finish off her outfit and pay attention to little details."
These are my beloved and very worn pieces that I wear everyday and with everything...

We'll start with rings because I got my purity ring when I turned 13. This one is from James Avery and I love it! Most people have it but I just love the writing and the little engraved symbols. The words mean a lot to me and this ring is just a symbol of my religion and my tie to God. 
I wear it on my left thumb. I got a size 7

It says faith, hope, love
This next ring I got for Christmas and it's gorgeous. I wanted something pink and pretty, small but I wanted the pink to be a little bit of a pop. I wanted it to look like a nice piece, not something cheap and tacky from forever 21 and this one is perfect! Unfortunately my mom purchased my ring from a jeweler  so I can't link it to you and I believe she custom picked the details so I can't link this one for you guys. 
It's a pink sapphire. I got a size 5 and wear it on my left index finger.

Ok my last ring is the pretty, super delicate ring. I had my eyes on this James Avery Claddagh Ring  for a while but I wanted something with a little bit of pink in it. So another pink sapphire it is! This one is also from another local jeweler. I got the heart in their claddagh ring taken out and replaced it with a lighter, more iridescent pink sapphire. 
I got a size 4 and wear it on my right ring finger
On to bracelets! This one isn't exactly extremely delicate but I love it and it represents me so well. It's a juicy couture charm bracelet and I'll link the actual bracelet to you guys but I can't link all my charms because some are older and charms are really your own thing to get. I love how my parents get me a single charm for certain things like birthdays and special occasions (holidays, graduation, finishing the semester off with good grades), it really makes this bracelet very special. 
Some charms are silver, some are gold so it goes with everything

My everyday jewelry continued...


This next bracelet is something that also isn't super dainty and delicate but I love it and wear with my charm bracelet as well. This is a gold juicy couture link bracelet and I LOVE the bow clasp. Unfortunately its sold out but this one  is pretty similar

Isn't it gorgeous?

Necklaces... This first tiny star one I am absolutely obsessed with. My parents got it custom crafted(is that the right word?) from a jeweler. Its all gold and I don't know the karats but it's really fine and I have to be really careful I won't break it. It sits right on my collarbone and is super small and super delicate. Sorry I can't link this one for ya'll since its custom.

This next necklace I love layered with my star necklace when I'm not wearing a statement necklace. It's from juicy couture(I love their jewelry) and I think it's super pretty. Unfortunately it's not online but I purchased mine from Bloomingdales. The pink rock looks darker and lighter under certain lights and what shade of pink I'm wearing. It sits on my chest and the chain is a little longer then my star necklace.


Isn't she pretty?
