Crush List: October

Hi ladies!!!! Did you miss me??? I do apologize for not blogging in so long. It’s just that nursing school consumes SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much of my time (I’m not exaggerating either!). It’s just been a lot. I've had a lot going on. I’m in my second term, with only three terms left until I’m able to sit for my NCLEX to become a Licensed Practical Nurse. Also, I’m in my second week of official Clinical rotations. That has been a long and treacherous journey but I’m making it; mainly because of my mom. I’m not a quitter and I never give up, but I was on the verge of throwing in the towel and calling it quits on this nursing career. I wasn't expecting it to be as hard as it is. It’s really draining the social life out of me. I actually should be writing a paper that’s due tomorrow that I haven’t even started on, but instead I chose to catch up with you guys. My work ALWAYS gets done though, so no sweat, right? Lol Only a little. But, I've been slacking lately so enough about me.

I wanted to get caught up on the Crush list for the month of October before it sails by. The items on this list are items that I’m in dire need of (or at least in my mind I am). But, I’m in absolute LOVE with them. Let’s get started:

1.      MAC nail polish: You guys already know I’m in love with nail polish, so of course I had to put it on this list. Since I can’t wear it during Clinical rotations I’ll just have to imagine myself with it on. That’s actually the only way I make it through the day without wearing it, just imaging I have it on my nails. Kinda weird ya think? Don’t judge lol. I know the color I choose isn't really a Fall weather kinda color, but hey, who says you HAVE to follow trends? I’m bucking the system lol. Anyway, teal has always been one of my favorite nail polish colors that’s the main reason I choose it for this list. you can purchase any of the MAC nail polishes here for $16.

2.      Victoria Secret PINK stuffed puppy: I’m not even sure why this item made it to the list. All I know is I want one! Plain and simple lol. The sad thing is, I can't find it any where :( HELP!! If you know where I can find one of the PINK stuffed puppy thingys, PLEASE let me know.

3.      Spiked Lita booties: A-M-A-Z-I-N-G is all I have to say.. Oh, and THANK YOU to Jeffrey Campbell! This booties are beautiful. I'm not one for spikes but I think they add a sense of sass to the shoes. I love these, they are perfect for Fall. I don't think I will purchase these any time soon, but they are darling to look at.

4.      Chiffon blouse with bow: I am in love with blouses. I know it may be getting too cold for them, but you can always have them in store for next Spring. I can't even begin to tell you how long I've been wanting one. I decided to add it to this month's Crush list because it would be too cold for next month. To me, they seem sophisticated and chic. I love them! I will most definitely have some for the Spring next year.

5.      Skater dress: I’m in love with skater dresses. They just look so classy to me. I love them because they aren't all tight and fitted. I’m petite and I don’t want to walk around in a dress that makes me look like a 10-year-old little girl, so I tend to cling to clothing that hides my figure or clothing that allows me to appreciate the assets that I do not have. Make sense? So, here you have a simple skater dress. You can dress it up for a date-night or make it even classier for a wedding. I shall become an owner of one (or three or four) one day very soon. You can find a few of them here for extremely reasonable prices.

6.      Jimmy Choo perfume: Ok, I've never actually smelled this perfume before but it looks pleasing to my eyes. I would definitely love to own it (and I plan to in the near future!!).  When I searched for it on the web I found it here, it costs $70 for a 2 oz. bottle and $95 for a 3.3 oz. bottle. I also found it here with prices ranging from $24 to $95 depending on the size bottle, lotion, or rollerball you desire. The description on Sephora’s website read, “An expression of the modern woman’s aura, this scent at once conveys strength and beauty, glamour and confidence. Luminous green top notes join a heart of rich and exotic tiger orchid and lingering base notes of sweet toffee and Indonesian patchouli to leave a sensual memory on the skin. For the bottle, the opulence of jewel-colored Venetian Murano glass inspired its faceted design.” This perfume is stated to have notes of sweet orange, pear nectar, tiger orchid, Indonesian patchouli (whatever that means lol), and caramel, which all sound like delightful smells. This perfume style is feminine, luxurious, and stylish. Those styles all apply to my personal style in my opinion. I think I like the color of it because pink is my favorite color but I think I like the bottle design even more.

If you have the chance to try this perfume, or any of the other items listed, before I get a chance to, please let me know if you like it or not and if you would recommend it. I hope you have a good evening. Happy Thursday!!!
