Birthday wishlist....just another year gurrrrl

Tweaked the ever so famous Jeremih song to share with ya'll my birthday list. I'm not sure if the point of this is for you guys to care what I want for my birthday. Or if I made it with the intentions that hopefully someone important (who buys me gifts) will see this and then I will be a happy lady. *COUGH COUGH B COUGH COUGH* Also don't worry, we have 22 days until my birthday. Plan accordingly, ladies and gents. 

            1. Monogram Hat...Simple as that. Ha. Rhyming. I saw Robin do a review post about one! And I've been dying to just settle down and splurge for some Marley Lilly. 

2. Easy Pass. Which I'm sure your state has some sort of no cash toll stuff. Being that I'm going to school in another state next year aaaaand will have my car, I think this gift is only right. Especially for a broke college gal.

3. So B is obsessed with Toy Story. He probably won't appreciate the fact I just put B and obsessed in the same sentence because he just simply isn't 'obsessed' with things. Unlike me...I obsess over many things. I came across the ring on etsy and knew it had to be mine one day. So can the one day be my birthday? Okay, thankies!

4.Norts. Whats even better than Norts? MONOGRAM Norts. Gimme. If you look cute in norts in public, that counts as working out right?

5.I want to look like that lady....getting a massage. B and I have been talking about getting massages because they seem so relaxing. And that is something I so need.

6. Seersucker Monogram Bow? Probably don't need this but it's waaaaay too cute to not put on my birthday wishlist.

7.Lilly Dress. Speaking of Lilly, I'll take Lilly anything. Or one of everything - that works too!

Also make sure to give a birthday gift and/or shoutout to POTUS on August 4th too!

Preppy on a Budget

As I had about 12-15 tabs open of items I wanted from Marley Lilly, I narrowed it down to these. See, as I was looking through the prices I was thinking, "ooh! I just got a paycheck I can spend it all on Marley Lilly!!!" WRONG RACHEL. You. Are. Wrong. Luckily, I was smart enough to put my debit card down and proceed on with my day.

I went back on my computer, too soon and came across the idea of searching for these items on Etsy.  Guess what? Well, not a good idea for my debit card but I found all the items I wanted, FOR MUCH CHEAPER! The greatest part about Etsy, in my opinion, is that there are different 'shops' to choose from, that price things different. I put on my thinking cap and searched far and wide to find my cheapest options. 

1. Iphone Monogram Home Button

If you are looking for one, I highly reccomend MEEsDesigns. I placed my order and received it within 5 days. But want to know the best part? $2.90, including shipping. WOO. Count me in. It's been on my phone for a little under a week now and I've received so many compliments. Even my dad thinks it's the bee's knees.

Best picture I could take, sorry! ...But it fits perfectly!

2. Circle Monogram Window Decal 

Ever want to monogram your car? Because I sure did. I was SO excited when I received this in the mail! I knew I would love it from the start. I got it within a week and as soon as I picked it up from my mailbox, it went onto my car. No hesitations. Only $5.95, too!

Other items I ordered but have not received yet!

-Monogram Pullover & WindBreaker. Currently on their way but I luckily was able to save a few bucks here and there by not buying from Marley Lilly. There is nothing wrong with their products, but being on a budget makes it harder to buy from them!

What are your favorite monogram items?

Look out for a DIY post on friday!

Marley Lilly & "Blacations"

OOTD / Bracelet from B for our one year :)

---------------------------------------------

Soooooo getting paychecks is great right? Yea. Weeeeellll only when you can splurge a bit aka what I'm doing with my paycheck this time. oops. 

Besides ordering expensive pictures from the phillies game because I'm annoying, and trying to remind myself I am infact on a budget, why not check out some Marley Lilly?

1. Pullover Rain Jacket. Alright I really have zero of a purpose to get one of these gems. I just think there uber cute and I would like such a sorority girl/jap rocking these with some hunter rain boots. #Notsorry. Also what I totally just hashtagged on here. Turning into weird social media guy from the Bachelorette. $44.99

2. Car Decal. BUT WHO DOESN'T JUST LOVE MONOGRAMS? Yea. Exactly. So preppy. $14.99

3.Baseball Hat. After reading Robin's post on her Marley Lilly hat....I need one. Side note: I also need Robin to come back into the blogging world because I miss keeping up to date on her daily life but hey everyone needs a blacation. (yes, just made that up AKA blog vacation) $24.99

4. Boat Tote. Totally will admit I would have judge these bags as mom bags when I was a youngin' because my mom had one of these and made me lug them to camp at the wee little age of five. She also used to dress me in Lilly and I would die from the embarrassment. People change, huh?! $29.99

5. iPhone Button Decal. Probably one of the biggest wastes of money but who doesn't ever want to pimp out their phone???? If I had money to blow, I'd spend it on this. $13.99

What pointless yet amazingly awesome things do you keep buying just because you don't want to part ways? (no matter how dumb) 

**Starting to design blogs too! Cheapest package is ONLY $12! 

I love blogging so no blacation for me. But a real vacation would be nice!
