Top 5 Need to Buy - August

Hello everyone and happy August! As stereotypical as this sounds I really can't believe it's already August and back to school season already. A new month means a new month's wish list. This month's is geared more towards things I'm looking to buy with school in mind aka why a pillow made the list this month. Let's get started: 

top 5 need to buy for august

1. Neoprene Laptop Sleeve: My backpack doesn't have a pocket for my laptop and I noticed it was starting to get scratched so a laptop sleeve is something I really need to get ASAP. I really like the simplicity of this one and the color is adorable.

2. Monogram Pillow: I've been trying to buy a lot of cute throw pillows for my bed (maybe it'll actually motivate me to make my bed) and I think a monogram one is perfect for a personal touch. I may already have a monogram for the wall, but one can never have too many monograms, right?

3. 'Constellation' Crystal Ear Crawlers: I saw these earrings on tumblr and instantly fell in love. They seem rather big but on the ear they look super small and delicate. I love that these make a statement but aren't over the top and are still good for everyday, causal wear. (on sale until 8/3)

4. Darla Wallet: I used to carry my keys & ID on a lanyard but it got pretty annoying. I saw a similar wallet at the outlets last Thanksgiving and I've been kicking myself for not buying it. It's perfect for just carrying a small amount of money, debit card, IDs, and the keyring makes it perfect to carry around your keys as well. I'm not sure why, but I've been loving the color pink lately. 

5. White Jeggings: For some reason I've never bought a pair of white jeans, yet I'm constantly thinking of outfits with white jeans. Honestly, I'll probably continue to wear them after labor day despite the stupid white rule. American Eagle fits me the best and luckily they always have jean sales for back to school.

What I've Been Reading



Hello everyone! I know I've been majorly slacking lately but I'm back with a new post! Today I'm sharing with you books I've been reading lately and let me start by saying they are all page turners and perfect beach reads! I'm not going to go too much in to the plot, but rather what I thought and why I love them (links to each will be provided). Let's get started!



1. Perfect Chemistry: "A fresh, urban twist on the classic tale of star-crossed lovers." (Amazon) I have now read this 3 times and every time has been a complete page turner & right when I finished it, I was ready to read it again. It's the typical bad boy and good girl teen romance novel but something about it makes it so so so good like 11/10 good. I think the plot is every girls dream relationship (minus a few parts). Let's be serious, who doesn't want a bad boy that's good just for you?


2. The Sound: First of all this book takes place in Nantucket, and that alone makes it the perfect beach read. I don't know about you but I'd love to spend my summer in Nantucket and that's what originally made me gravitate to the book and lucky for me it was amazing. It's another teen romance with a good girl but TWO guys with an aspect of mystery to it and filled with suspense. This was also a complete page turner and I so wish there was a sequel to it. I just let my friend borrow the book and guarantee she'll love it too, so please do yourself a favor and go read it!


3. Did I Ever Wake Up: If you are in need of some positivity or motivation in life then you need to read/listen to this ASAP. I first heard of it from Meghan Hughes on YouTube but didn't want to spend the money on it, however, I saw that the audio book was apart of his album so I went ahead and bought it on iTunes and let me tell you it's one of the best decisions I've made and then I immediately went and bought the actual book. As cliche as it sounds, this book will change your life. It'll help you learn to think positive, focus on what you want, and make you realize you are in charge of your own life. You can also listen to it on Spotify! This book will remain on my nightstand for when I need a little motivation and positivity in my life. I recommended this to a friend and she listened to it right away and also bought the book!

Adventures at Sunset

I don't think anything is better than watching the sunset over the ocean. If you are ever in Southern New Jersey, you should definitely go to Sunset Beach at Cape May Point! My family got there a bit early, so we stopped at the little store to shop around and then headed onto the rocky beach for the sunset! 













Top: Gap similar
Shorts: American Eagle (from Marshall's) similar
Sandals: Loft
