Hi Lovers!

Guess what?! My 24th birthday is coming up on Wednesday of next week. I can hardly believe it! This year has seriously flown by, but at the same time a lot has changed so it's crazy. Personally, I cannot believe that I'm about to be mid 20's. I know most of you are laughing at me but I still feel like I just celebrated my 21st during my last semester of college. Oh how time flies when you're a boring grown up.

Anyways, I made a reservation for my birthday dinner about a month and a half ago because the restaurant we are going to is always busy and I sort of forgot about it and then realized that it's actually this weekend. So just in case my parents or family wants to ever so generously buy me a gift, I've put together a little list.



one. 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target Handbag
Okay so this gorgeous bag doesn't actually come out until September 15th because it's part of Target's newest collaboration. I've always loved the clean lines of 3.1 Phillip Lim and I'm a huge fan of everything in the line, but this is definitely my favorite. This will be the perfect bag for Fall/Winter and you better believe that I'll be waiting outside Target for the doors to open so I snag this beauty. I think everyone deserves a little gift for themselves on their birthday right?

two. Steve Madden "Cinch" Bootie
I've been really obsessed with cute little booties lately and while we were in San Diego I saw a girl wearing some that had buckles and an opening on the side. I almost creepily asked her where she got them, but instead I did some research and found these. I love that these would be cute with Summer dresses and also great with tights. Plus I don't have a cute pair of black booties. Need.

three. Alex and Ani bangles
I've watched Whitney and Brittany grow their collections and now I'm jealous. I only own two and I'm dying for some more to jingle around on my arm. They are just so pretty and delicate and apparently they give off good energy. You can never have enough of that right? PS. I'm a big fan of anything with a hamsa, feather, peace sign, flower, or astro sign. You know.. just in case.

four. Gold iPhone 5S
Alright so this one if purely hopeful. I've been reading up on some tech websites and there is supposed to be a big announcement on September 10th about the newest iPhone. Obviously everything is a rumor but I've heard that they will be releasing one in gold and if so I'm pretty sure I need it. I'm still rocking the 4 so I think it's about time for an upgrade! Isn't it pretty?

five. Old Navy Active Printed Capris
Here's the deal with workout clothing.. I splurge on pants because that is usually what I'm going to wear out and about and lounge around in. When it comes to shorts and capris.. those are what I'm going to be sweating in and I've found that Old Navy's are fantastic options for their $20 price tag. I have a black pair and I'd love a couple more, but these printed ones are too cute. Here's to hoping they don't make my butt look big!

six. Yurbuds Sport Armband
A couple on months ago I started getting frustrated with my headphones always falling out when I was on the elliptical and I stumbled upon Yurbuds in Target. They have this weird shape that "locks" into your ears and doesn't fall out. I love them. Now that I'm doing strength training by myself I like to listen to music and tune out the meat heads. The problem is that I have to stick my phone in my bra since I can't hold it. Sweaty tatas= gross. I need one of these cute armbands to match my purple headphones!

seven.
Last but not least, the heavier I lift the harder it gets to control the weights and do exercises properly. The problem is that I really hate having my hands covered so gloves are not really an option. These cute little guys slide over your fingers and give your palm a good grip without having to wear a glove. Sign me up!

There you have it, my pretty boring list for my birthday this year! I'd also like a new car that I don't have to make the payments on, if you guys know any millionaires or something. I have a feeling that I'll more than likely be gifting all of these to myself.. but that's fun too!
