Fall Wishlist 2014

With my favorite season right around the corner, I decided to put together a little wishlist of items I would love to have this fall, or even just in general!

1. I absolutely love sweaters, and this Cutout Back Sweater from Forever 21 would be a perfect seasonal addition to my minimalist wardrobe. The black and cream colors match with just about anything and I can just think of so many outfit ideas to pair up with my clothes already.

2. I featured this Lime Crime Velvetine Lip-Stain in the last edition of Friday Faves, and I can't seem to stop thinking about it. I love matte lipsticks so much and I really support Lime Crime and their cruelty-free promise, so I definitely had to include it in my wishlist.

3. If you've never been to Lush, then you are seriously missing out. It's a little slice of beauty care heaven. My first time going I tried out this Popcorn Lip Scrub and I swear, it tastes so good and makes your lips smoother than ever! Living in Arizona dries out my lips so bad and makes it hard to wear lipstick without feeling self-conscious about the cracks, but if I were to use it before putting on my lip-wear, it would make all the difference in my makeup routine.

4, 5, 6. I love tights and getting to wear them is one of my favorite things about the cold months. I was pretty intimidated by the colors for fall/winter this year but I think trying tights in the color pallet first will help me branch out to some of the brighter designs this year. So, I hopped on over to Modcloth and found some really darling pairs that I would love to have!

7.  Lush also has some of the best hair care products and having curly and sometimes unruly hair can be so frustrating. This Curly Wurly Coconut Shampoo sounds amazing and I am desperate for something to tame my frizz down. 

8. How perfect is this Photo A Day Album?! I have been so inspired and using my camera so much lately, I would love to challenge myself daily and get prints to fill this up for an entire year!

9. I have gained a recent love for hats, but they can be so expensive! I found this floppy wool hat on Nordstrom's website, it's budget friendly and comes in so many colors. I would love to have it someday!

10. Not only did I find a darling floppy hat, but I also found a reasonably priced bowler hat. This kind of hat reminds me of Charlie Chaplin, but I can't get over how cute it looks with medium length hair styles!

What are some things you have on your fall wishlist?

Today I am so happy to say that monsoon season has arrived, my favorite time of the year in Arizona! The downpour actually began during the town parade this morning. It looked like the people on the floats were even enjoying it too. With the 100 degree heat for the past few days, this was just what we needed! So, to celebrate the weather I created a rainy day wishlist. This could also count as a wishlist for moving to the Pacific Northwest (which I'm hoping for in years to come!).

Enjoy,

Summer Sandals That Won't Break The Bank!

Being a Barista I don't have a whole lot to spend on new clothes. With that being said I usually thrift or hunt for trends in my budget.

1. Topshop 2. Wet Seal 3. American Apparel 4. Day Heel 5. Dirty Laundry 

6. Keds 7. Juju 8. Steve Madden 9. Salt Water 10. ModCloth

Destination: Hicksville

Hello, with this being my debut post to begin The Desert Poppy I want to start with a bang, I want to share the delight I have building up inside of me! I am tickled pink to be marrying my best friend and dreamboat, Tim. Our wedding date is approaching fast, but to my surprise, the planning hasn't been as difficult as I expected, but I do have to give credit where credit is due; First, to my inspiring and beautiful mother, without her generosity and kind spirit THE DAY would be nothing of what it's shaping up to be. My grandma has been such a help also, she's been searching high and low through the thrift shops and craft store for anything that may be of use for our D.I.Y. wedding. She's just the sweetest. Additionally, my Matron of Honor, Brianna, has been amazing, keeping me focused on one task at a time, seeing my vision for the day just as well as I can and being my extra pair of hands for crafting the decorations. Though, There is one person I definitely cannot forget to applaud, my fiance. He is my rock! As all wedding planning goes, there are bumps and turns in the process and the stress sets in. Instead of getting frustrated when I'm a little frantic, Tim stays cool and collected, and when I look at him everything else fades away, all the planning for one day just seems trivial, and the only thing that matters is being closer and closer everyday to marriage.

Just this week we decided on our honeymoon destination! Tim and I are going to stay at Hicksville Trailer Palace in Joshua Tree, CA. Once we started checking out reviews and swooning over pictures of the themed mini campers, we knew it was a perfect spot for our newly-wedded adventure! Joshua Tree has been a place we have been wanting to hike and see for a while and being a three hour drive from home, this affordable honeymoon is going to be a blast!

I can't get over how adorable the set-up is!

Forever 21 sheer dress / White top / Loose white tank / Embellished top / Red oxford / Topshop cotton shorts / Decorating shoes / High top suede shoes / Topshop cotton duffle bag / Forever 21 pattern hat / Tortoise shell glasses / Lip care / Kiss My Face sun care / CamelBak | Water Bottles, Sport, Filtered, Stainless Steel, BPA-Free

Being so eager for this trip, I made a little packing wishlist of clothing and accessories I would love to take along. My favorite are the clogs, so summery and bright, especially with that pineapple top! I could admire cute clothes and accessories forever..

Happy weekend!
