We are already knee deep in August and you know what August is? My birthday month!!! I do like to treat myself to a few things throughout the month and create a wish list for funsies. Here are a few things I wouldn’t mind having wrapped up just for me!
This Rose Gold Gorjana Lariat necklace has been on my wish list for nearly a year. I think it would go with so many things in my closet and be such a staple piece!!! It would also layer nicely with my beloved Kendra Scott necklace I wear nearly every day!
I am also obsessed with this BaubleBar Aimee Layered chain. Since it is gold, thicker and layered…it gives a completely different look than the Gorjana one!
How cute are these mules in blush??? I am in need of some new work shoes for the fall/winter and these would be perfect!
I want to get a purse that is a little easier to tote around with baby. I love don’t need to carry as much now that she is a little older and I want something I can take to work too without having to take things in and out of her current diaper bag. I think a backpack style like this or a larger tote like maybe this would be better.
How pretty is this Skippy Dip Lip Topper by Jouer?
I am obsessed with slides and these are a classic!
This shirt looks crazy cozy for the fall weekends! I could use a pop of color in my wardrobe.
Cole Haan is the only brand of flats I have found that I can wear for more than a few hours without wanting to throw my shoes in the trash. I have a pair of black ones, and I really want to get a pair of nude to wear as well. These look perfect!
I would love a fancier band for my apple watch, this rose gold one would be perfect! Love the price too!
When Andrea emailed me about TBB link up, I knew I had to participate! These are fun questions to get to know someone better and I got right to drafting my post! But then I forgot all about it when I posted about my weekend on Monday. Better late than never, I always say!
Pool, Lake or Ocean?
My favorite place is the beach, I love to listen to the ocean crashing into the shore. But from the pool. I rarely get in the ocean. If I do, it is maybe ankle to knee deep. Never more. The pool is more my jam.
Camping, cottage or hotel?
I am so not an outdoor person. I never say never, but I seriously cant see myself ever thinking that camping sounds like a good idea. Give me all the indoor amenities and air conditioning. Please and thank you! A cottage or hotel suits me fine.
Favorite ice cream flavor?
Cookie Dough
Pj’s, Nightgown, T-Shirt/Shorts or Birthday Suit?
Usually shorts and a tshirt or short cotton nightgowns.
Fave Summer Beverage
Fruity beers and ciders or a mojito. At the beach, I do love a good pina colada! Cant believe I didn’t even have one this year.
Would you rather be hot or cold?
Cold cold cold. Please give me the cold! For someone who lives in the deep south, you would think I would be used to the heat. I hate it! You can always add layers, but you can only take so many off. I am a fall/winter girl.
Sandals with heels or flats?
These days you will find me in flats 98% of the time. I also appreciate a good wedge.
Shorts or skirts?
Neither! I were dresses in the spring and summer or pants in the winter.
Sit in the sun or the shade?
Unless it is in the upper 60’s or low 70’s, you will find me in the shade. See above. I hate sweating.
Water, tea or soda?
water
Fave summer fruit, vegetable?
Pineapple! Nothing beats a pineapple in peak season! I also love fresh ears of corn.
Sunrise or sunset?
I love both, but if I have to pick….sunset. Alabama has some of the prettiest sunsets I have ever seen.
Bike, ride or walk?
Alabama is not so not walkable. Not even our downtown area, so ride it is.
Winery or brewery?
brewery
Garden or no garden?
I do not have a green thumb, nor do I have the time.
Big summer concert or music in the park?
Music in the park, I hate crowds.
Fave cookout food?
Filet or burgers
Dine indoors or patio?
Patio, as long as it is shaded if it is too hot!
Fave summer destination?
Our annual trip to Gulf Shores
Big theme park or local carnival?
Again, I hate crowds. I don’t really care for either. Though I really really really want to go to Disney World!
Drinks blended or on the rocks?
blended
Popsicle or freezie flavour of choice
You know what I miss? Pudding pops!
Hot Dog or Hamburger?
Hamburger

Happy birthday month!!! Looks like blush is your favorite color right now… mine too 😉
Gosh we are SO alike! My answers would have been the same. Ha! I hate the heat, which is tough shit considering I’m in the south. Feel like I’m melting daily. Bring on the cold! And I love your picks! Those blush mules are gorgeous. That Jouer lip product does.not.budge. I wore it on Friday and still had it on 15 hours later!
If the necklace has been on the list for a year, ya gotta!!
I don’t have the Jouer lip topper but I have one of the metallic lip cremes and I love it! Highly recommend.
yay for birthday month! i’ve been debating getting a necklace i can layer easily with- love your choices!
Those mules are adorable! And cookie dough is definitely my fave ice cream too!
TREAT YOSELF!!! i love bday months; i should have started doing that way before my 40th.
i also love rose gold jewelry, too. i used to think it was for ‘old ladies’ and maybe it is but damn, that shade just looks good on errybody!!
Yep….it’s the month of Nadine!!!! Woohoo! Wish I could get you all of these! Yay, loved your answers! I need a pudding pop now! Sooo good, now I wanna know what happened to them? Happy Wednesday love!!
Happy birthday! Don’t forget your free frappuccino and Sephora swag, among other things. 🙂
Happy Birthday Month!! Woohoo, you should treat yourself everyday to one thing. haha Celebrate all month long. I hear ya about the heat, I hate it. The problem up here is the building are all older and the AC sucks. While I have central air, I know alot of people who don’t and I don’t understand how they live during the summer. It’s just too humid. I bet the AC is much better in your neck of the woods.
Yayyyyy birthday month, and yes to all things rose gold! Can’t wait to see which goodies you score next week! Well birthday twin, the similarities between us are uncanny, but I just can’t get on board with cold weather. I moved from CT to FL to escape it. Give me the heat! 😀
Happy birthday month!
Seriously — I was just telling B I wanted a pair of Adidas slides. I LOVE THEM! And also those necklaces. They are so pretty!
I love that band and might get it to match my watch 🙂 Yay for birthday presents – let me know how you like the backpack if you get it, I’ve been toying with the idea of getting one! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
You are making me obsessed with that layered necklace too, lol. It’s so pretty! Looove pineapple and corn too!
birthday month! hope you get all the things! that top looks so comfy and cute. i will respectfully disagree with your adding more layers in the cold haha, i could add an entire wardrobe to my body and still be cold, but the heat feels glorious! i totally want to do this quiz thingy.
I’m right there with you. I hate the heat, need to be in the shade, and could never imagine wanting to camp. I’m not an outdoorsy person haha!
Happy birthday month! Oh I agree. Heat, summer, tons of sun are all my enemies. Ugh. I cannot handle the heat. At all. I love the beach, and the ocean though. I love to get in and float around. Probably comes from being a land-locked KS girl. hehe Flats all the time for me too! 🙂 I love that striped shirt! 🙂 XO – Alexandra
Simply Alexandra: My Favorite Things
Such cute things on your wish list! I want that mini MK backpack! xo Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
Oh my goodness yes! Pudding pops! I really love that first necklace & that top! I’ve also really been missing my ADIDAS slides lately. Probably because my students all have them & it makes me miss how much I loved mine in HS haha.
HOLY COW>>>>> I’m amazed. Those ribboned mules – I had a pair of those when I was in high school in black!!!!!! I cant believe those are back!!!
Haha, Blue’s birthday was last month and she had a new wristband for her Apple watch at the top of her list too! That was is gorgeous! I haven’t tried Cole Haan flats but I do need new ones, so I’ll have to check those out! I’m a hard no on gardening, I’ve killed succulents lol! And not surprised that you’re a cold person- the humidity in the South kills me. Happy birthday month!
I love those flats. I have a pair in black and they are the best. I love the color of that lip gloss. So pretty. I love everything rose gold so I hope you get that watch band.
