Sitting, Waiting, Wishing...

Good 'ol Jack. Jack Johnson and his music always puts me in a peaceful mood, one in which I can pretend I am on a beach in Hawaii, digging my toes into the sand and listening to the waves clapping against the shore. I get this type of wishful thinking when I am unsure about things, and right now I sort of am. I got a new job Readers! It's much closer to home than my previous job (nine miles to be exact) and it is at a school/residential center for kids with behavioral problems and emotional traumas. My job is going to be to work with the younger kids in the dorm, mainly just watch over them and make sure they aren't getting into trouble. I'm nervous because I've never really worked with kids before, and I'm not sure how good I will be at it. But I'm also very excited to get out of an office environment and do something totally different than what I was doing as an administrative assistant. Plus, I'll really get to see first hand the things I learned about in college.

So I sit. I don't start until next week. And I wait. And...why not wish for really extravagant things? I'm a dreamer, this is what I do.

A Burberry Cashmere Scarf, cuz it gets very cold here in Southern California ;)

I must admit that I've never really bought into the LV madness before, but the Damier Speedy 30 is oh so pretty, and I just love a bag resting comfortably on my arm.

I love Michael Kors, and his watches are a classic. This one in particular is my favorite. Love the mother of pearl face.

Rebecca Minkoff leather pouches. This item, out of all of my crazy fantasies, is very possible to attain =)

And of course, because the boyfriend is sick of hearing about it...

Now I know these things are quite unrealistic at the moment, but that's why it's called A Wishlist! What are you obsessing over these days?

Mulberry For Target Collaboration

I managed to wake up early on this Sunday morning and battled zero traffic. I love that about Sundays in my suburban town. It only took two visits to two separate Target stores to find the Mulberry For Target bag I have been lusting after:

The quality is alright. It isn't bad, but it definitely isn't the real thing either. I think it's PVC, but with a slight pebbled appearance. I have really been wanting a simple black bag this Fall, and this is a great option. I have already detached the heart key chain from it, because I don't like the look of it much. In my opinion, it takes away from the classic feel of Mulberry.

This one is already sold out! And according to target.com, it won't be back until November 14th:

Did you girls take a peek at the collection online? Are you planning on buying one? Let me know in your comments! Have a great Sunday!

Admit Two: Dinner & A Movie OOTN

Happy Friday! Another wonderful weekend to look forward to, and what better way to kick it off then dinner at a fun restaurant followed by a movie (The Social Network). I always feel like a teenager during these types of outings, except I can drink a glass of wine now and I don't have to bother calling my mother to tell her where I am. Wait, scratch that. I still often do ;)

Cardigan: Halogen (Nordstrom)

Tank: Target

Skinny Jeans: Banana Republic

Pumps: Kenneth Cole Reaction (DSW)

Bag: Mango

I added a black satin ribbon from a black dress I have.

It's always about the accessories for me. The hamsa necklace was only nine dollars at a boutique, and the sparkly "amazing" studs can be found on Lorraine Stanick's (TheCurrentCustom) blog. They were a gift from the bf.

Now I'm off to eat and be merry!
