Where did we leave off? Oh, right, on August 2nd. I know, I know, that was a month ago. A month and one day, really. But don't worry, I'm back with my favorite blog post of the year - my birthday wishlist. (Wishlist posts are so easy, aren't they? And I'll let you in on a little secret, when your proper title is "poor MBA student," they're even easier.)
Despite knowing every word to Taylor Swift's recent hit, I'm not sure that I'm feeling twenty two. I barely feel twenty-one sometimes. Some days I feel twelve, some days I feel thirty five. That being said, I'm ready for a new year and new goals. Twenty one has been filled with glasses and braces, and not nearly enough mojitos. It happens, I guess.
This year's wishlist doesn't feel all that different from the last. (Though, I think I'll be probably okay without a hat and gloves in Albuquerque.) Once again, the items can be split into two camps. This year, my fall wish list includes the necessities - a new business wardrobe and a few things for our house.
With all of the career workshops I've been attending lately, I can't stop flipping through the online pages of J. Crew and Banana Republic and Madewell and... Well, I've been searching for the perfect blazer for weeks now and I keep coming up short. Quite literally. You know, I didn't mean to match the shoes to the belt.
Our move also left me lusting over home decor. And at the top of my list? Matching bedding, can you imagine it? I almost can't.
I recently restored a vintage Drexel Heritage sideboard (which I'll be showing you soon!) and I've had my eyes on a few different items for the top of it, too. That metal wrapped tray from West Elm? Ugh. It'd be perfect to hold the rum for all those mojitos I haven't made.
So tell me, what's on your Fall wishlist?
I saw that quilt online this morning and was so tempted to buy it, but had to remind myself that it wouldn't make me cozy right then which is what I wanted!

I'm still dying over the quilt! I'm actually going to look at it in store today - Urban Outfitters has an extra 30% off sale this weekend so it's now only $70. As if I needed another excuse...
DeleteAs for the coziness, I typically turn to a cup of tea WHILE online window shopping.
