iPhone Dump: Things I'm Loving

I would like to start out this blog post by admitting my very real materialistic ways. I love clothes. I love shopping. I love getting pampered. I love purses. I love painted nails in the summer. I do. I admittedly do. I am the epitome of a girl. In other words, I AM VERY GIRLY. The first sign of healing is admitting your problem, is it not? I think I'm well on my way to complete healing. Though I'll always be a girl who loves girly things. There's not much hope of that ever changing.

So, bear with me as I share some of my favorite things as of late. All of which are very materialistic and have captured the heart of my iPhone camera.

BTW, have I mentioned that the iPhone dump is becoming one of my favorite posts? Because it is. That is all.

After returning home from a quick trip to Wisconsin over the Easter weekend, my sweet roommate Bethany revealed to me a little gift she had picked up for me while visiting H&M in Chicago (they went there for a day trip!) for no reason at all. Can you say schweet? It was the cutest green and navy blue striped top I am wearing below in the photo. I LOVE it. And I LOVE her. In fact, I wore it the next day. Thank you, Bethany!

I've always had a slight obsession with purses. Ask my mom, grandma, friends or anybody else that knows me and they'd agree. However, I'm also a bargain shopper at best (thanks, Mom!), so unless it's name brand (which doesn't do just a TON for me) I'm not going to spend hundreds on a purse. Yes, I may have one or two Coach purses sitting in my closet, but I can guarantee you those were also purchased at a bargain price. However, when I saw this gem in TJ Maxx the other day, I couldn't resist. Does that coral color not scream summer to you? Best part? It was cheap and cute. Truth be told, I actually left the store without buying it, but decided after not getting anything else that day, to go back and purchase it. I am in love.

Orange nail polish. What's that you say? Yes, orange. Who knew I'd ever buy such a color? But I'm loving it more and more. On the nails it actually came out more like a coral shade than anything else and I was very pleased. I led myself to believe that with my nails painted, I feel more like a princess. And that was only appropriate for the royal wedding. I have no doubt Princess Kate would approve. Again, if I'm going orange, I'm going cheap.

Here it is on my nails. Right now I'm feeling like I may have a future career in hand modeling. QVC, anyone? And while we're on it, can we discuss that ring? It's not new, but I wear it every chance I get. I LOVE it. But don't ask me where I got it because I don't remember.

I've always teased my hair. I have some mad back-combing skillz. No like. You can see for yourself here. However, I've always just used a wide tooth comb. I learned how to do all of this by my sweet hair wizard, Tania. She's a gem and I love her. However, on Saturday after cutting my hair she pulled out this odd looking brush and went to town on teasing my hair. I left the salon looking like I had five bumpit's in my hair. I should have taken a picture. I was very impressed and she informed me of the new brush they'd just come out with. It was her new favorite thing which immediately became my new favorite thing, so I bought it. Yup. Don't judge. I LOVE it. It's a miracle teaser. No bumpit needed.


And there you have it, folks. The most materialistic post ever written. I hope you'll love these things as much as I do. Thank you, iPhone camera.

What are some things you're loving lately? Care to share?

Happy Friday, y'all.
