July Wishlist

Wishlist Wednesday

A list that will probably be the most lust-worthy to date. *le sigh*


1. I'm ready to move out!...but honestly & realistically, I am in no financial state to do so. Boo. But a girl can dream about owning her own place... Development in downtown Honolulu has been booming especially in the Kaka'ako area & I wish I could say all in! This one looks particularly fabulous & would be insanely convenient for where I currently work...plus, no traffic worries!

2. I have only come to realize how special every M.A.C. collection & collaboration is...or maybe that just shows how much of a "consumer" I really am haha. Circa 2005-2006 M.A.C. paired up with Disney and released a small collection of lip conditioners that some refer to as "tint toons". These were later followed by a collection of Villain-inspired products. I remember seeing this particular Miss Bunny lip conditioner listed in a magazine back in the day...but sadly it was too late for me to get my hands on this product :(

3. Rose gold (anything) is my newest obsession. So it was no surprise that the minute I saw these Frends headphones, I WANTED. While the price tag is comparable to other popular brands like Beats by Dre, I wonder if it matches in terms of quality & performance... this would def be a very fashionable & functional accessory, which may lead me to cave eventually. Perhaps I will save up & treat myself around the holidays ;)

4. I have been on the hunt for one of these olive, utility jackets for a while...I think my want for one of these arose as a result of Bella Swan's style in the Twilight movies (Something Clever: A Fashion Blog has a great summary of Twilight fashion here). However, the urge to buy this type of outwear laid dormant for a bit until I saw Holly Ann-Aeree's most recent outfit of the day post! So the Googling began & I stumbled across this gem of a blogger who has fabulous style, Tanfizzle! ...and so I fell in LOVE with this particular olive, utility jacket; who doesn't love pieces that are 2-in-1?! Sadly this is far outside of my price range so I'm looking for some cheaper alternatives...any ideas?

5. ...and of course my wishlist would not be complete without a pair of shoes...& Chanel's espadrilles take the cake! One of the hottest trends of the summer & I WANT...I think I would go for the black/white combo since I don't think I can pull off these bold colors like blogger Aimee Song...too bad I can't have...

6. I decided to add one more wish to the list this month because I desperately want to travel & live in wanderlust! ...and of course to travel fashionably, you need a great suitcase!!


The Anna Sui for Tumi (Super leger international carry-on; $395) is the perfect carry-on for those wanderlust adventures--fun, flirty & feminine! Sadly, I can't find anywhere to purchase this from anymore :( ...& I really wish I could have the entire fabulous collection! haha :)
(Article by Seventeen Magazine)

As you can see, all are definite wishes. Would you purchase any of these?

What's on your wishlist?

...perhaps one of these days I can make one of them true :)

Wishlist Wednesday - Splash into Summer!

6.5.13.

I'm not usually a water person...but lately, that's all I've been thinking about: beach, sun, ocean.

Thank goodness I live in a beautiful place that can offer all of these things :)

Sadly, some fun in the sun is limited by funds & availability...and so these beach worthy items will probably forever remain as lustful thinking...

1. H&M - Bikini Top w/ metal palm trees ($19.95, H&M)

ADORABLE! Unfortunately, since there is no H&M in the 808 and no online store...forever a LUST. I just can't get enough of these palm trees!! And seriously, at under $20 you can't go wrong!

2. Souled Out Surf - 10.5' Orange Koi & Dragon ($1300, Souled Out Surf)


A dear friend (shoutout to AnaBeezy!) just purchased a GORG paddle board from this company! I had stumbled across these two tattoo-ish designs and realized that hers was also purchased from SOS. She has gotten me addicted to this popular pastime; if only I could afford this price tag...a girl can dream.

3. Aqualillies for Tarte - Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eye & Cheek Palette ($38, Sephora)


The iconic Aqualillies (sychronized swimming) + Sephora = genius summer palette & waterproof to boot! Amazing packaging...I just cannot resist this beautiful collab!

4. Fighting Eel - Ava Sky "Fish" print(s) (prices vary, Fighting Eel - in store)

I have been lusting over this Fish print FOREVER!! Finally FE has brought in more of these fab Ava Sky pieces and I think I'm going to cave! ...now if only I could decide which style...thoughts??

5. Sephora Collection - 8 hour Mattifying Moisturizer Sunscreen ($22, Sephora)


Use protection lovely readers!! I have been on the hunt for the right product that would provide me with protection & comfort for daily use. This "in-house" Sephora product has racked up quite a few rave reviews; I'd def want to give this a try! (I also purchased Smashbox's CC Cream, SPF 30, which I will be trying out soon; coverage, protection, dark spot correcting...already loving the concept)!



...& that's all folks for this weeks' Wishlist Wednesday :) happy lusting!!...

UPDATE:

Sephora's next Disney collaboration will be debuting this month! One of a number of items is already available for V.I.B.s online! Dare to dream ladies...


See Beautzine's blog for more info; she posts great reviews on products before they show up in stores!

5/22/13 Wishlist Wednesday - 5 Things We Love

The blogger-verse has been blowing up with these wishlist posts...so of course I'm hopping on the bandwagon!

I've always loved the weekly "5 Things We Love" column in the Star Advertiser. So my Wednesday Wishlists will be a hybrid of wants, loves & of course wishes!

1.  Celine - Luggage Tote (SOLD OUT); WAHHH!

Of course I am lusting after something that is COMPLETELY out of my price range and is sold out. I've grown to love the look of this bag: simple, subtle, functional and reminds me of LV's Never Full (if you can't tell I like my bags BIG)! Oh well, this is what WISHES are for :)

2.  Jeffrey Campbell - Cantu ($160, Homecoming Boutique, Honolulu)

To buy or not to buy, that is the real question. These are SO within reach, (not so much within budget), but I'm so so SO tempted!! Especially since my Google search was not able to find this color?! Homecoming you are an enabler >.<

3.  mStand Laptop Stand ($45, Amazon)
Ok, so this has been in my Amazon cart forever! It is totally justified as a NEED, seeing as my desk area is a mess and I think it would totally free up some space--we like desk efficiency! But some other (unnecessary) purchase has always taken precedence. I first saw this on my advisor's desk and thought it was genius. While it technically doesn't fit my 17" MacBook...I think I can make it work...

4.  Muji - Acrylic Cases
Functionality at it's best! Organization and display all in one. These acrylic cases from Muji have been growing in popularity, primarily through Youtube makeup gurus & vloggers. As a Japanese brand, quality is expected as the raves have justified. Sadly, you have to be a hawk on the site; these guys sell like hot cakes and are usually sold out. This model is $25.25 but there are a number of models that have different features/sizing. Check out the review by one of my fav beauty bloggers: hollyannaeree!

5.  Jeffrey Campbell - Soiree
Lucite + heel = one KILLER shoe for Spring/Summer. It's all the rage, and I have been wanting IN for MONTHS! Forget the Mom lectures of these types of "clear heels" being trashy--the black fade on this lovely pair is to die for!!--simultaneously subtle & mysterious. Dream shoe FOR SURE.
