Wanting:

I've had my eyes on a few things as of lately.

Urban Outfitters Suede Pump (in Red)

I first saw these pumps on a style blog I read daily, and I instantly feel in love. Aren't they fabulous? I had  a difficult time trying to decide between the yellow and the red, but I just can't stop starting at the red. I love them. I want them. They are gorgeous. 

Hunter Original Rain Boots (in Red)

Something else I have been wanting for quite some time. And yes, I want these in red too. I have zero shoes in red, so it's ok. Hunter makes so many vibrant colored rain boots, and this is my favorite. And sometimes you need a pop of color on those gloomy days. Last night I entered a contest to win a pair of these - so let's keep our fingers crossed!

Conair Infiniti Clipless Curl Iron

Ahh, the clipless curling iron. For quite some time, a long time, I have been using my regular curling iron as a clipless iron. I just use my thumb to hold the clip up and then wrap each section of hair around the barrel. To me, it creates a much more natural and flowing looking curl. So I think it's almost time for me to get a clipless curling iron. I like this one for it's price, but hopefully I'll work my way up to this one. 

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray

This spray adds texture to your hair, giving it that been on the beach all day hair - which I think is gorgeous any time of year. I've heard nothing but positive reviews on it, so I think it may actually do what it says. I definitely want to try it.

This house. That lot of land. That view. And that sunroom. To die for. 

I Could Scream

...because I am so. excited!

Y'all, I have been on the HUNT for Urban Decay's Naked Palette. I have seen this thing everywhere and heard nothing but the best about it. So last week I decided that this palette was:

1. Versatile for me and my makeup needs.
2. Priced well for all that you get (considering UD eye shadow pods are $18 each - and this one comes with 12 which are the same size as an individual pod, plus two eye pencils - that I've heard fabulous things about, and a travel sized UD Eye Primer Potion) It's a deal.
3. Great for traveling (because it's so slim and versatile).

So I was greatly disappointed when I walk into my local Sephora and it's no where to be found. A lady called the Sephora warehouse and they were out. Ulta was out. UD warehouse was out. Everywhere on the internet - OUT. There's nothing more disappointing than deciding you are going to splurge a bit on something well worth it, and then find out it's nowhere to be found. After the lady hung up the phone, she informed me that the palette was in high demand and was sold out everywhere (and it was only released mid-July). UD is working hard in the factory and would hopefully have some made and back in stock in 3-4 weeks. 3-4 WEEKS??? How can I wait that long when I want it now? I was tapping into my inner Veruca Salt. That's definitely a characteristic of mine: when I want something, I want it then. Instant results. I likey.

So all week long I have religiously, like at least three times a day, been checking Sephora, Ulta, UD, google shopping, and the entire WWW for "Urban Decay Naked Palette". Except today. I usually wake up and immediately check.

I almost didn't check today. But for some reason I decided ehhh I guess I'll take a look - not hopeful at all. Why would I be? They are non-existent for another 3+ weeks. Then... Amazon.com popped up: IN-STOCK. I did a double check to make sure it was 1. New, 2. the real thing, and 3. Still in-stock. My jaw dropped. I added it to my cart, leaped off the couch for my purse, and got through the check out process probably setting some kind of Guinness Book of World Records record. And now... IT'S ON ITS WAY!

Just made my weekend.

Isn't it beautiful?
