Want, Need, Wear, Read

WNRW3




Want: A vintage bar cart. More than anything, I just really want to get an apartment or better yet, a house! Must break free! When I do, this will be one of my first interior purchases. HRH Collection's bar cart is such an inspiration.

Need: A special birthday gift for my Mom! She's on the 21st. I'm going to try and find a few goodies during my break tomorrow. She loves fragrances but it would be nice to find something... else.

Wear: Sneaker Wedges. I know, I know... I've tried to stay away from these but they just make so little sense that they do? I'm positively sure this is a trend that I will look back on and laugh at and cringe but what can I say? They work for my work. Target has some cheapies that pass for the good stuff.

Read: ...Or should it be Write? Wreck This Journal. I came across this little book when I was browsing Urban Outfitters after seeing the movie Spring Breakers (save your enthusiasm for its Netflix release). I love an unusual journal style book (Listography is a favorite) so of course this one piqued my interest.












Now Watching: Coachella Live Stream (Yeah Yeah Yeahs)

Want, Need, Wear, Read

WNWR1



Over on one of my favorite blogs, Bleubird, she has a Want, Need, Wear, Read series. I thought this was a fun little idea and decided to share my current list.


Want: Tufted headboard. Not only would it give me extra space in my bedroom but it's gorgeous and so much more comfortable for my head than the bulky, dated one that currently matches my bedroom suite.

Need: Travel. I guess this is technically a want but my soul is craving a fun trip (or 10). Wanderlust.

Wear: Flat, comfortable, stylish, black ankle boots. Not necessarily these ones. I need them for work and for other occasions. I have a hard time with shoes because my feet belong on an alien.

Read: Unfortunately, Polyvore didn't have some of the books at the very top of my reading list to share (note to self: learn how to use a different program), but this one is good. The New York Times: 36 Hours, 150 Weekends in the USA and Canada.

*This song came on last night at the bar and put everyone in a good mood.

Pinterest Monthly: December 2012


I love this room! From the cozy pillows and blanket to the eye-catching tray with candles (my favorite), I want to recreate something similar! The table and floral display are also beautiful.


New Year's is right around the corner. I think the presentation of this wreath and champagne is stunning.


I want this sweater. The color would probably wash my fair skin out and the material probably wouldn't flatter my figure but it's so pretty.

I'm a total girlie girl so of course I love jewelry. I have a decent collection but truth be told, as much as I enjoy looking at jewels, I prefer simplicity on myself. The most jewelry I'll usually wear is a pair of stud earrings and maybe an interesting ring. Necklaces get lost in my cleavage or make me feel strangled and bracelets always get in the way. But this display case inspires me to actually wear some of the pieces I have. I think it's so elegant.


Deer are definitely some of my favorite animals on the planet. They are so graceful and absolutely adorable. I love this shot.



As much makeup as I own, I almost always stick to neutrals. I think this cat eye with a touch of glitter is the perfect look for an evening out or holiday party.


Truth. Never mistake kindness for stupidity or naivety. 


This little "emergency" kit from Henri Bendel is too cute. You gotta love the WTF monogram.




I'm sure people will laugh at me when I wear this blouse but I like it. It reminds me of the 90s in the best way possible- the good old days when everything from my pogs to homework folders had a yin yang on it. I think it's a nice alternative to the McQueen skull that every single company under the sun has knocked off.



Marc Jacobs scarf from the Neiman Marcus/Target collaboration. I like to layer this with my other scarfs. It's quite pretty.


The Skywalk on the Tianmen Mountains in China. This is insane!


Horsetail Fall in Yosemite National Park, California. Pinterest claims that each year, for a few days in February, the sun's angle lights up the water in a way that resembles fire.



I had to do a double-take when I saw this Polyvore set. It looks exactly like something I would put together (minus the watch because I never wear one but I do like the look of it). 


Le Sirenuse Hotel in Positano, Italy. I want to visit you. The Amalfi Coast looks like another world.


Porsche Cayenne S. I've always driven a low to the ground sports car but I've recently discovered the benefits of being higher up. I like that this SUV still has the capabilities and luxury of a fast car but with the height and reliability of a truck.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
I'm living life in beautiful Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I hold a journalism degree from West Virginia University. I have worked in television news, fashion marketing, PR, and cosmetic sales. My love for writing and sharing with the world my various passions is strong. One of my many ambitions is to be published and continue creating in the fields of digital and print media, literature and film. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, going to concerts, reading, following Pittsburgh sports and traveling as often as possible. Some of my favorite things include beauty, style, architecture, books, tarot and astrology, thrifting and my shih-tzu, Ireland. I’m engaged to the love of my lifetimes and we look forward to starting our next chapter together. If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you!
