As much as I’ve been complaining that everything is wet, I’m actually pleased that at least we’re not going into August extra hot. (Edit: I wrote this last week before DC turned into the Amazon). Warm and humid I can take. Hot and humid I turn into a miserable human. August is generally my least favorite month of the year because I just get so excited for fall to come. I’m antsy for that #PSL life, clear blue skies, and that back-to-school feeling that has never really gone away, even though my last fall back-t0-school was (ew) 8 years ago.
August is kind of a slow month for me this year- September and October are going to be insane. Currently on the books this August I have a girls’ night with Sarah and not much else. I’m OK with that. I’m really tying to work on myself – more gym, more mindful eating, more yoga. That’s actually why this wish list is late and why I’ve skipped a few posts- I was workin’ on me last week more than I was workin’ on the blog.
What’s your August looking like?
I actually hadn’t heard of Karen Kane until this year’s #NSALE and the dress I’m on a mission to get in every color. The Karen Kane Tiered Ruffle Hem Dress is perfect for those #covenvibes I want for fall.
Another Karen Kane, this time the Cascade Faux Wrap Dress. Faux wrap dresses are the way to go for my body type- highlighting my waist, which I like, but I also don’t have to worry about a real wrap dress coming apart.
I had this great pair of espadrille wedges that I literally wore into the ground and needed to toss. Loving the idea of a leopard wedge like the Dolce Vita Women’s Pavlin Wedge Sandal because the colors are transitional.
I got to wear my Sperrys on a boat last week! But I’ve also been wearing them to work on rainy, gross days. How cute are these Sperry Songfish Cork Boat Shoes?
Another day another novelty purse. You need to see the inside of this Pink Polly Pocket Heart Shaped Cross Body Bag!
This rain and humidity has given me limited footwear options for work. My favorite flats got stuck in the rain with me on a week ago and I feel like they’re still not dry. My Hunters are awesome but they get so HOT in the summer. Fortunately, there are options beyond the traditional rain boot, like the Sperry Top-Sider Women’s Ariel Beck Rain Boot. These could totally pass as booties for the office.
I know it’s early I feel like I’m already ready for cozy fall mode. I’m nuts about candles, and I feel like this WoodWick Vanilla Gourmand, Toffee Brittle & Toasted Marshmallow candle would be awesome to keep Pride Rock smelling sweet.
I seriously think Winky Lux has some of the best lip products I’ve ever used. And how adorable is this heart-shape on these Winky Lux Steal My Heart Lipstick Pills?
I’ve been seeing pastel rainbow sweaters everywhere and I’m here for it. This Rainbow Knitted Long Draped Cardigan is one of the best prices I’ve seen but Dolls Kill has some really adorable options too! I especially love their CONFETTI CAKEZ OVERSIZED CARDIGAN.
