This week all I really want is to be fully moved in to my apartment (with everything in it's place) and of course own these super cute Volatile Denver cowgirl boots from DSW. LOVE these.
Happy hump day everyone!

These are my confessions...
Usher isn't the only one who has confessions around here. I, especially lately, have a few more than I would like to share. But as a way to vent (and because it has been way too long since my last blog post) I'm giving it a go.
1. I cannot remember the last time I ate a home cooked meal. I've actually gotten to the point where Subway is the favored lunch place because I feel it is as healthy as fast food can be. This has a lot to do with me moving AND not having a fridge since we moved in last week until today! Do I have to mention how gross I feel because of this? ick.
2. It is shocking to me how cheap 'Craigslisters' can be. I sold a beautiful clean and matching washer and dryer for way less than I should have and bought a mediocre now clean (after 45 minutes of me scrubbing the hell out of it) refrigerator for probably more than I should have. How can anyone not care about what their things look like?!
3. I am in love with my new apartment but not in love with the smell of damp must and mildew that seems to be coming from my closet and under the kitchen sink. This needs to be taken care of promptly and I'm hoping I will benefit a wee bit from this inconvenience.
4. I am flat broke. Yet somehow buying a new shower curtain seems more appealing than making this months rent. (However I am smart enough to know which is most important and will head over to Kohls tomorrow to see what their selection is.) - Just kidding! Obviously Rent is more important! Sheesh!
5. I have missed two whole weeks of the Jersey Shore (due to the move and not having cable yet) and I actually don't really mind this.
6. I may have found a new obsession. I REALLY really want to learn how to line dance and two step and all that other country jazz that I witnessed at 'In Cahoots' last Friday night. My friends and I had such a good time just watching the dance floor, I'd love to be apart of it. I even found a beautiful pair of Cowgirl boots that I MUST have and will post them on next weeks 'What I'm Wanting Wednesday.'
7. Bradley Cooper is my dream man. I could swim in his pool blue eyes! Watch him in 'Limitless' soo good!
8. My skin is in perfect condition, and I'm waiting for it to go array. I'm wondering if this is due to my considerable lack of daily make-up or if my stress level has lowered significantly. I can't tell yet!
9. I saw 'The Help' and loved it so much I might want to go see it again!
10. I can't decide if the T.V. fits best in the corner or if I should have it hung over the Fireplace.
11. I have put a halt to 'Big Girl' Job searching because I feel like part of my life should be in order before I try and put my future life in order.... This may not make sense given my financial status but I am a firm believer in things turning out the right way and am not worried about this at all.
12. Speaking of things turning out the way they should... I am planning on 'sageing' my new home (once fully unpacked) to cleanse and rid myself and the apartment of bad energy. I've never done this before, but if it helps, it will be worth it! I'll blog about the experience once it's happened!
13. I am really missing my Pacific Northwestern special someone and can't wait for him to visit soon!
14. I Red Boxed the 'Adjustment Bureau' last night, and not only did I love it, It gave me a different outlook on fate.
15. California is not as Ritzy as television makes it seem and yet, I love it anyways!
16. I can't wait for fall to get here, but I CAN wait to turn 26. Yikes!
17. Mulled Cider candles from Wal-Mart are one of my most favorite smells in the world! I have one going right now!
18. My little puppy is so gosh darn cute sometimes I can't stand it!
19. All the girls from high school are getting married and having babies and it's honestly starting to freak me out! I am soo not in that place right now and it's hard to envision others wanting to be there. Don't get me wrong, I would prefer not to be an old spinster and it is exciting to see friends from when I was 16 create little humans that will probably go to our same high school, but all this is scary, and I, despite not really having a choice in the matter am just not quite ready to grow up. Roxie is enough for me to handle at this moment!
And lastly, even with all of mycomplaints confessions, I am still happy with my life and what I am doing. I am a very lucky girl and sometimes have to be reminded that when things are bad, they could always be worse!...Things are really good here though, that is just a saying!
Thanks for putting up with me today! I hope all of you Diary Readers (If I still have any left!) have a fabulous Friday!

What I'm wanting Wednesday
Today I have some real goodies that I've been excited about all week!
Aren't these etched wine decanters from Olivia and Coco fun?! If I had these at my house I would be drinking wine everyday!
I've always loved the old Letterman style sweaters, and this Opening Ceremony sweater from 'California Rodarte' is especially cool and cozy! (Dont ask how much it costs.... You don't even want to know!)
You all probably know by now that I have a mini doxie, so when I was flipping through Adore Magazine yesterday you can only imagine how excited I was to find Jimmie Martin's "Sausage Dog Cushions!" Soo Cute!
This next one, is a sweet little number that I would die to get my hands on! I don't know where it's from yet, but I'm going to do some extensive research to find it because it would be perfect for my Mexican cruise! If anyone happens to know where I can get it please let me know!

What I'm wanting Wednesday
For the last couple of weeks the weather here in Southern California and Arizona has been beyond hot! So obviously everything I'm wanting this week is tied into a warm weathered theme!
I spotted this little number a few days ago when I was looking for my Black and Yellow fashion trends and I fell in LOVE! This is Jets Classique High Waisted Bikini in Black and White from South Beach Swimsuits for $195.
Isn't it gorgeous!? And super flattering, with the retro waisted bottoms! If only money grew on trees.
Next on the list is a beautiful backyard like this one to invite all my friends too chill in on cool summer nights. I don't have a source for it, I've had it kept away in my blog folder for such an occasion as this, but it's still eye candy!
Of course in a fabulous patio like this one, you need beautiful glasses to sip cocktails out of! Check out these beautiful Moroccan inspired glasses from Horchow. $60.00
Tomorrow I'll be talking about a fabulous beverage to go with this drink ware on Toast to Thursday. Until then darlings!

What I'm wanting Wednesday
For those of you who know what it's like to be a broke college student... Or just to be broke in general. Im putting a few pictures together every wednesday of things I don't necessarily need, but am DYING to have.
The first item I definitely, actually REALLY do need and would seriously cut my left arm off to own, is this little beauty:
The last MUST HAVE item is a big floppy beach hat. One of my guilty pleasures is watching all of The Real Housewives TV shows on Bravo, although the OC series is the best. If you're like me, you love Gretchen Rossi's fashion style and therefore understand the importance of the floppy hat for this season. Plus, it will be great for the cruise! This one can be found at Target for only $12.99!
The first item I definitely, actually REALLY do need and would seriously cut my left arm off to own, is this little beauty:
It's the Raspberry Ice Artisan, 5 quart, 325 watt KitchenAid mixer. It can be found exclusively at William-Sonoma with sales benefiting the Susan G. Koman Foundation. I can totally envision me making Christmas cookies with this gem in my dream retro style kitchen!
Next up are these super cute and comfortable (I tried them on at the store) BCBGeneration Evie pumps.
I bought a really cute apricot colored BCBGeneration dress for my Dad's Mexican Cruise wedding, taking place Halloween weekend. I still have some time to find the right heels, but I'm thinking these little shoezies are the ones! Now I just need to wait for them to go on sale!
This is what the dress looks like. Won't it be perfect?
