POST CATEGORY : Lists

A Wishlist….Or Three…

Hi Lovelies!

The holidays are approaching and I have been bombarded with requests for a “Christmas list”. I never have any idea what to tell people when they ask me this. I don’t really NEED anything….I just WANT everything:) Hehe! So today, I have put together a few lists. A reasonable wish list, an unreasonable wishlist, and a practical wishlist:)

1. The Reasonable Wishlist

I call this the reasonable wishlist because it’s really just an outfit from Target. Target is pretty reasonably priced, so therefore, you get the “reasonable” wishlist! Target is a HUGE problem for me. There are 2 within a mile of my work and it is bad news bears when I have nothing to do on my lunch break. This wishlist will most likely change weekly from now until Christmas, but for right NOW this is what I wish I could buy/get from Target!

2. The Unreasonable Wishlist

Unreasonable because it is expensive. Well, maybe not expensive, but expensive for what the items really are. So, I am not one for designer labels…I pretty much own a Coach crossbody and wallet that I got in high school and that is the extent of my designer collection. BUT, recently I discovered Kate Spade’s gold dot agenda…and by discovered I mean I bought it. This has opened a can of worms for me…..I haven’t bought anything else…yet….but I have started a Kate Spade wishlist that includes anything with gold dots on it. LOL! The only thing I think I would consider actually buying are the shoes….though I cannot justify to myself spending $75 on Keds. Meh.

3. The Practical Wishlist

Now, some people may not call this one practical….but it is much more practical than the previous two! The hubby and I just invested in a brand new king sized bed and we need some pretty decorative items to go with it. AKA we need to redecorate the entire room! Same sort of color scheme, but prettier. I am in LOVE with that polka dot flannel blanket set…..

What is on your holiday “wishlist” this year?

Until tomorrow…

The 5 Worst Recent Trends

The worst trends of 2013

Hello there, Lovelies!

I tried to like them, I really did…it’s just NOT going to happen for me.

The Top 5 Worst Trends of 2013 (thus far…)

  1. High waisted pants/shorts- Now, I’m not talking a little high….I’m talking those ones that go up to your ribs. Nothing about these is sexy in my opinion. Does no one remember middle school when we made fun of our teachers for having “flat butts” in these types of pants?!?! Yes, they look like that on you too! Especially if you are slim and already don’t have a butt!
  2. Paleo diets- OK, I’m going to get a lot of grief for this one….but, I love food. I’m sorry, but I just can’t do this caveman style stuff. If I don’t have my carbs, someone is going to get hurt…
  3. Leggings with pictures on them- Polka dots are fine with me, stripes are alright, lets just put patterns in an okay position….but the pictures. I’m sorry, what? Are those pictures of bones on your leggings, or did I form X-ray vision? It is also NOT okay to have Star Wars on your leggings…or Betty Boop….or the solar system…
  4. The bow hair style- Okay, just to start you off….I.Love.Bows. I will pretty much buy anything that has a bow on it. Then people started tying their hair in bows. First of all, that’s beyond hard and it will never look like the picture. Second, it looks….well in my opinion, dumb. If you want a bow in your hair, then tie one (or clip it) in. If we are being honest, does anyone else think it looks like a sock bun gone wrong? I’m sorry, I just can’t handle the bow made of hair…
  5. It was really hard for me to pick #5. I wanted it to be ombre hair to begin with because to me it just looks like you forgot to die your hair…but it just wasn’t terrible enough. In the end, I had to go with those MC Hammer pants aka harem pants. You know the ones…they’re REALLY baggy until they get to your lower leg and then they get really skinny. These do not flatter anyone on this earth. Ever. No excuses.

Now, you can feel free to disagree with me. I mean, that is your right as a human. But, this is my mouth I can say what I want to…..(don’t even get me started on Miley….)

Until tomorrow,

Things That Piss Me Off

Things That Piss Me Off

I do “Things I Love” every week….and I decided this week to change it up and do things that piss me off. Now, I’m not really a “pissed off” kind of person, it’s more things that really irk me…but, really what fun would the title, “Things That Really Irk Me” be? Yeah…none at all. So here they are: things that really make me mad, or piss me off…I mean really it could just be called #firstworldproblems…

  1. People using the letter “n” as the word and. It’s stupid n shit.
  2. Really vague Facebook posts that sound awful! Facebook posts saying things like, “OMG, I can’t believe this is happening to me!” and then 50 people post and ask whats going on. The person either a. comments and says to 1 person I texted you. or B. Never answers. If you aren’t going to tell, DON’T POST IT…I’m nosy, I want to know!
  3. When you think there is an empty spot in a busy parking lot….but it’s really just a tiny car parked between 2 huge ones…
  4. Girls who wear clothing that is too small. I don’t care what size is on that tag ,but get the right one!
  5. When guys complain that girls want nice guys and go for the “assholes”. All I have to say is that most guys that classify themselves as “nice guys” are not…at all…don’t get me started.
  6. You’re browsing Pinterest, you see a cute outfit, you click on it. It takes you to someones stupid tumblr or just an image. Dammit…now I have no idea where to go buy it:(
  7. When people look over your shoulder while you are on your computer. Like my husband does, 90% of the time….like right now.
  8. Politics on Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media outlet. You’re not changing anyone’s views….stop.
  9. People with really poor grammar. It’s okay to miss a comma or misspell something, but the moment you use the phrase “I seen that,” I die. (Yeah, I have a comma obsession, pretty sure I use like 10 per sentence, pretty sure that’s not allowed, pretty sure it’s a run on now, yeah??)
  10. Starting a sentence with “no offense” means you will shortly be offending me. Why bother?
  11. People who will listen to “anything”. Oh, except country, or rap, or jazz, or…
  12. Those people who crab when it’s too hot…and crab when it’s too cold.
  13. Not being able to think of anything else in your list post…
  14. Lists that do not go in increments of 5….
  15. Cliques. Let’s hope there are none of these this weekend at TxSC!

It’s here! The Texas Style Council Conference! I am really excited, but really nervous at the same time. I’m a really outgoing person, but when everyone knows each other already I tend to have a harder time breaking out of my shell. So, as I said in number 15, I’m really hoping that people aren’t all off in their own little clique world.

I just have to keep reminding myself to act normal, not burst out in random bouts of useless trivia, and make sure I don’t have TP on my shoe….OR I could just be myself:) haha….I will post all about the conference on Monday!
