Transcript

These are things I really want to buy, but can't because it's financially irresponsible of me. But they are really good items, so if you can buy them, I think you should. I'm surprised I haven't bought this yet because one, it is a Diet Coke lip balm, but not only is it just a lip balm, it is a Lip Smacker lip balm bringing me right back to my childhood. This is a little bit random, but I really want these garlic and cumin pickles from Hot Girl Pickles. They do not sell it in any stores in DC, but maybe I will place an order for these. Love this hat from Madewell. It's currently sold out on Madewell, but it is available on Shopbop. I'm a big fan of Gap's big shirt and this pink with brown stripe one is really calling my name. Last thing I wanted to wear was a bra when it was so hot here in DC, and I wish I had this bra free tank from Abercrombie. I am loving the yellow and blue stripes. Baggu is coming out with a new collection this week and I really want this polka dot vanity case. Susan Yara, the founder of Naturium, came out with a new brand called Playa and I really want the hair gloss and the body spray. This Damson Madder dress is so cute. It is a mix of current trends along with Y2K vibes. I also feel like this would be a nice date night dress. Loving the cut of these shorts and the red seersucker stripe. As always, these are in my ShopMy for easy access, and if you do shop my links, I get a little bit of commission, so that maybe one day I can buy these items. Happy shopping.
