things i'm lusting after

This is a self-indulgent post; it's a wishlist of things I'd love to have if I could stop spending money and start, you know, saving.



MAC Free to Be Eyeshadow. I'm such a sucker for pinks, even though they don't tend to pop well on my skintone.



Urban Decay Naked Palette. I LOVE LOVE LOVE a neutral eye, and after hearing lollipop26 rave about this palette I decided it is now a must have. Just look at all those shimmery browns!



Top from Forever 21. I scoured the store last time I was there looking for this particular top and couldn't find it anywhere. I wish their clothes fit true to size for me, I would just order it online then.



The iPhone 4. My iPhone 3G bit the dust about two weeks ago, and until I can save enough money to get this one ordered I've been using any phone I can find. Not having the internet in the palm of my hand was a total culture shock after almost two years, and I still miss my touch screen.

So that's it :] I'm totally sorry about the lack of posts but this past week I've worked 31 hours, on top of baby-sitting when I'm not at work. I've been a busy bee to say the least! But I'm going school shopping this weekend so at the very least I'll be posting a haul then. Keep reading :]

forever 21 haul!

Hello everyone! I recently took a shopping trip to Forever 21, which is a HUGE deal because there is only one store in my state and it's three hours away from me. WV really does get the bad end of the retail stick, haha. Anyway I figured I'd share my purchases with you guys :]

A grey spaghetti strapped tank top with pearl detail around the neck. I love anything pearled so this was the first thing I grabbed off the rack. It's also the only tanktop I bought because school is starting soon and my school has a reputation for being absolutely freezing! I had to wear my fleece Columbia jacket all the way until the middle of May.

A shot of the detailing around the neck :]

I got this cardigan to wear over the grey tank. I love it's cap sleeves, which you can't see too well in the picture, and the lace back. I think the lacy look is so girly and fun, I'm not too crazy about the totally lace shirts but I think details like this are super cute.

A long, military green t shirt with detailing on the shoulder. I love this color and I was looking for something with a little detail on the shoulder and this has just enough to turn a plain t shirt into something a touch more interesting.

The shoulder detail :]

My favorite shirt I purchased. It's also grey (it's my favorite color to wear :]) and slouchy and has such pretty sequins around the neck.

Detail shot of the sequins.

Now onto the jewelry!

My bird connector ring. I have a new obsession with these, all the ones I've seen have been super cute and it's just so different than anything I've seen.

Another connector ring I bought :] This one is so cool, the ring side is on the back so the flowers come up in between your fingers. I wore this to work this evening and I got a ton of comments and compliments on it. It's my new favorite ring.

A gold feather ring I bought specifically to wear with the green shirt I bought. I love the tarnished gold look.

Detail of necklace.

So that's it! I hope you enjoyed it, I certainly enjoyed shopping for it all :] I plan to be posting more OOTDs and FOTDS in the future, along with more hauls and product reviews so stayed tuned!
