I know, I know I already have a Michael Kors gold watch that looks exactly like this.  But can a girl really ever have enough accessories?  Plus, I've had my Michael Kors one for over a year and I wear it every single day so it's starting to show a few light signs of wear.  This is around the same price range ($200) but it could be a good alternative!

When I was in Macy's a few days ago I saw a Free People blouse that looked exactly like this (only in black & cream) but I didn't want to fork over the $80+ that it cost.  How cute is this top?? And it's only a fraction of the price plus the mint color is something a little more unexpected than the black one that I was eyeing earlier.

The black flats that I bought from Target last fall finally gave out a few months ago (I'm surprised at how long they lasted!) but since it's summer I haven't bothered to replace them.  So I found these at 6pm.com and they are Nine West which will hopefully indicate good quality but the best part is they're under $40!  I don't quite remember but I think my Target ones were around $15 so in comparison it's not a bad price.

I had one of these room sprays a few months ago and I loved it.  It was more of a clean linen smell but I think that getting something like this would be great.  For my dorm room freshman year my roommate and I had those jelly air fresheners that smelled like vanilla and our entire room always smelled amazing.  These are great because they give the same effect as a candle but they are so much easier.  (They're on sale right now!  2 for $10!)

This lace scarf from Free People is absolutely gorgeous.  I've been holding out on buying it, hoping that it will eventually go on sale but it is still priced at $48.  Since I'm going to school in Chicago I really need scarves that are of a heavier/warmer weight but I think that this would be cute for spring or fall outfits.

At $20 for 10 notecards these can get a little pricey but for special occasions or extra nice thank you notes they could be great.  I love everything about them, the gold and creme striping on the inside of the envelope, the bright raspberry color of the card and the dainty gold bow on the top, they're just so adorable!

How freaking cute are these?  Kate Spade has been coming out with accessories, bags, and clothing decked out in bows for years and they just keep getting better and better.  I'd personally go for the plain gold bangle, but the other colors are cute as well!

Not sure if I would ever have enough spices to fill even one of these jars but I just love the idea of them.  Anthropologie always has such cute little additions for apartments, can you just imagine a few of these stacked up in your kitchen? Precious.  The chalkboard label is cool too so you can change out what you keep in each container.

I've been meaning to get this book for a while now and I just keep forgetting.  It's on my 'to buy' list, I swear!  Pretty simple really, I love Ellen Degeneres why wouldn't I want to read her book? Interning or working for her is my not so secret goal in life.

I've been thinking about starting a weekly routine for a while now, something similar to what Emily Schuman does on Cupcakes & Cashmere if you've ever seen her 'Five Things' blog posts.  I like the idea of something like that as well but I figured that I should do something on Mondays, something to make me happy at the start of the week.  Mondays are always such a drag I figured sharing something like my current wishlist would make it fun!

How do I not have one of these bags yet?  I first saw these when my friend had come home from college about 4 or 5 years ago.   I remember she had a red one and I didn't really think that they were that cute although very functional and practical.  Last year while at school I told myself that I would buy it if I got good grades after first semester.  (Obviously that didn't happen...1st year away from home, living in the city, new friends...what's a girl supposed to do, study? )  Anyway I just keep putting it off because I can't quite justify the $150 price tag for a nylon tote.  I'm sure I'll get it sometime soon, I can already see how useful it would be, I just need to set a goal to reach first.

These bubble necklaces by J.Crew have been on practically every single blog out there.  I've recently taken a liking to statement necklaces and this one just seems to be calling my name.  But man, that price tag hurts just to look at.  Especially considering how often I would wear a necklace like this I just can't do it.  I've been putting it off and thinking that I'll save up the money while I look at the J.Crew website daily, but we all know I'll eventually buy the knockoff on Ebay from China.  Come on, $15 compared to $150, tell me you wouldn't do the same thing.

I'm a big fan of plain stud earrings, be it pearls, diamonds, or just plain metal balls.  Personally I have a rounder face so dangly earrings aren't the most complimentary for my face shape.  I like to stick with studs and I've been on the hunt for a new pair.  Colorful little numbers like this just seem so fun!

After all the hype I finally bought a Nars 'Orgasm' blush about two years ago.  During my freshman year of college it was definitely my most loved blush.  I was a bit apprehensive about dropping the cash on a blush but let me tell you it was so well worth it.  Surprisingly it ended up lasting quite a long time too, I still have it and you can see about 50% of the pan.  Since it's summer I've been relying on my trusty 'Benetint' from Benefit, but I definitely see myself purchasing another one of these babies in the future.
