Wishlist Wednesday


It’s been a little bit since a shared a good old fashioned wishlist! I’ve got the most random things on my radar and I thought I’d explain each one in a little detail! 


Here’s a closer look at the hodge podge that is my summer wishlist! 



Nutri Bullet 




For the longest time Gary and I have been big fans of juicing, but to be honest it leaves us both really hungry when we just drink that for breakfast. Recently I’ve started making smoothies in what can only be described as a blender from the 1980’s. Not only is it just way too big, but it takes up precious counter space we just don’t have, so I’ve been on the hunt for the best alternative and the Nutri Bulletis winning out! 



Hair Dryer


I’m almost ashamed to admit that the hair dryer I currently use is a travel one my husband has had since college…and he graduated a little bit ago! After a blow dry disaster this weekend I’ve decided it’s high time that I get a normal sized dryerand all the products that go along with it to create a salon worthy blow out at home! 



Camel Colored Purse




Of all the purses I own I don’t have a camel color in the mix! I know that I don’t want a tote (already have plenty), I’d like it to have a bit more structure, but not be rigid and I’m also pretty particular about the leather. For that reason I like the Tory Burch BombΓ© satchel – classic enough and big enough to fit everything for work or as a carry-on for travel. 



Off-the shoulder




F21 opened it’s new location in downtown Boston and I’ve been wanting to go in once all the excitement died down a bit, mostly because I’ve got my eye on a few off-the shoulder tops, but not ones that are completely off the shoulder because not being able to freely move my arms sort of bugs me so I like the ones that have a thin cami strap



Sunglasses




During the ShopBop sale last month I froze and didn’t purchase the pink aviators that I wanted – well I’m kicking myself so I’m going to make sure that these make their way to me soon! 



Black Wedges 


I am so hard on my shoes – I literally walk right through them over time and sadly my black wedges for work have taken some of their last steps (gosh that was dramatic)!! I love Cole Haan heels because of the cushioning they have built in – something with Nike Air, regardless it makes them insanely comfortable and the bonus is that these will be comfortable for all the running around I do on wedding days as a coordinator! 





Tunic 


I have the hardest time finding what to wear over my bathing suit that is both light enough that I wont be sweating, but covered up enough so that I don’t feel like I’m exposing too much at the beach and I also want to be able to throw something on so that I can grab lunch right after or go to the store. This linen cotton tunic from j.crew comes in both black and white and I think hits all of those concerns! 





What’s on your wishlist? Do you have any recommendations for hair dryers?

    I have the NutriBullet and my husband and I love it! I sometimes think I want the Ninja blender since it's bigger, but then I'm not sure where I would store it because like you, I just don't want it on the counter. And I have a camel colored purse from Madewell–I love it!

    I have been thinking about the nutribullet for the last little while too! My blender is so large and o want something more compact for individual smoothie portions. What do you put in your smoothies?

    I'm with you on the pink Ray-Bans! Every Shopbop sale, I tell myself I'm going to buy these and I don't! I feel like I hesitate because I don't know how they will look on me. I need to find them in store and try them on and be ready for the next Shopbop sale!

    You should definitely spring for the hairdryer…I upgraded mine about two years ago and it seriously slashed my drying time and left my hair much smoother without needing to use a straightener!

    Your wishlist Wednesday is perfect for me today, for my birthday. I love/need the TB bag and that white coverup dress. I am obsessed with off-shoulder looks and may or may have not ordered a few off-shoulder birthday gifts for myself. Hahahaa.

    Remington hair dryers are actually awesome. I purchased one two years ago, and it's still amazing! I want to wear the off the shoulder top, but since I'm super chesty, I dont dont how to pull it off. lol.

    I've had my eye on that tunic! It is so perfect for summer! I think I would get it in a color though, because i get worried about white coverups getting dirty at the beach. ~xoxo, Hannah

    GIRL. With all that hair I cannot believe that you use a travel size dryer! You definitely need a better one. I love my Moroccan Oil dryer. They are pricey but my stylist gave me a good deal on mine. I love the J.Crew tunic. So cute.

    A good blow dryer is everything! It's the only way my hair looks halfway normal and it's so worth every penny. I'm also loving the off the shoulder look and can't wait to get some more tops!

    So I have that same hairdryer and it's definitely time to go full size. What hairdryer mishap happened this weekend? I just bought another pair of Cole Haan (flats), but from the same family (you know I cannot resist a bow!). In other words, get out of my head. πŸ˜‰ No, but seriously, great minds think alike!

    I'm loving your wish-list, beautiful! I know what you mean about the blender because I have a huge one, too, that I have to put away each time I use it because it's also really big and doesn't fit anywhere on my counter, haha! A friend of mine recently gifted us with the Nutribullet, but I haven't had the time to actually use it yet, you've reminded me with this post! I love the Tory Burch purse you've shared here, the shape and color are so pretty and I'm also swooning over those pink sunnies! Thanks so much for sharing, gorgeous, and I hope you're having a great week so far!

    I've been seeing off the shoulder shirts all over Pinterest and I just say I'm loving them! Okay, so as far as a blowdryer I have a CHI dryer and I swear it's worth the price! I was hesitant to spend so much at first, but it literally dries my hair in half the time, doesn't leave me with flyaways and I've had it almost 5 years now! Worth the investment! xo, Kristina

I'm also in the market for a new hair dryer, so I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on that one – I love my Remington flat iron, so I'm sure their other stuff is great.
