I cannot believe that I am turning 20 next week. My teenage years will officially be over, and I will be entering the second decade of my life. That is a crazy thought! It seems like it was just Christmas; this year is seriously flying by. It always felt like it took a crazy long time to get to my birthday when I was younger, but now that I’m older time is starting to move a lot faster.
Since my birthday is in exactly one week, I thought it would be fun to share my birthday wish list with you all! I do not expect to get all of these things at all, it’s just fun to see all of the new items out right now and dream of getting a couple of goodies!
Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Collection
Honestly, I would be so happy to get anything from the new Tarte collection. You all know my love for Tarte, and this new collection looks so gorgeous! All of the lipsticks that are out look so pretty, and the foundation and skin care products sound divine.
Copper Birkenstocks
My love for Birkenstocks runs deep; I wear either my brown or floral pair pretty much everyday during spring and summer because they are so comfortable and cute. They go with pretty much everything, and are also so practical to wear with all of the walking I do around campus! Birkenstocks actually provide a lot of support for your feet, and I recommend them to everyone.
Calvin Klein Bralette
I know this is very “basic” of me, but I really want a Calvin Klein bralette! They are supposed to be super comfortable and soft, and I basically live in all of my lace bralettes, anyway. Also I probably only wear a bra maybe once every week or two, oops…..at least this would get a lot of use!
Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens
Or…
Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens
I’m not sure which lens I want yet, since I’m going to be using them when I study abroad in Europe this summer. My family has a friend who is a photographer, so I need to ask him which one would be best for scenery pictures, as well as taking pictures of all of the gorgeous architecture.
Barnes and Noble Gift Card
Honestly, I am always so happy when I get gift cards to Barnes and Noble! I am an avid reader, so there is no better gift than a good book, or a gift card that can buy a good book. Some people don’t like getting or giving gift cards since they seem less personal, but I really don’t mind it because I know they just want me to buy something that I will genuinely like.
Tickets to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in LA
Last but not least, this is a gift that I would probably just pass out if I received it. I know the likelihood of actually getting this is slim to none, but hey, a girl can dream!
–
I am still in shock that my birthday is only a week away. The years go by faster and faster as you get older, which is really scary! I don’t feel like I should be 20 years old, and it also doesn’t feel like it should already be April. Where is 2016 going so quickly?!
As I get older, it also gets harder and harder to actually think about what I want to receive for my birthday. With every year, the things that are important to me are becoming less material; I now value time with family and friends over anything else, and the simple feeling of happiness. When we’re little it’s so easy to get caught up with the latest and greatest toys, and be happy just from the gift of things. I think that’s a part of everyone’s childhood, and it’s a natural, healthy experience. As we get older, though, our set of values change, and it’s no longer important to receive a ton of presents. What’s truly important is that we spend our time being happy with those we love.
Do you find it harder to make birthday lists as you get older?
Thank you so much for reading, and have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
My birthday is coming up in about two and a half weeks, so I’ve been trying to think of things that I want! I really don’t want a lot this year, and it seems like it gets harder and harder to think of things I’d like to get as presents every year, because I’ve really been focused on school and my blog lately.
The Canon Rebel t5i is on the very top of my wishlist this year! I’m really hoping to get this beauty from my parents, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed!!
The Cinderella collection from MAC is to die for! I love all of the pretty and light colors and the packaging is so pretty! I also just want some cute spring clothes and also some more workout clothes, so we’ll see if I end up with any of that! I’d be perfectly content with the Rebel, though, and might possible cry if I get it.
What’s on your wishlist at the moment?
Thank you so much for reading, and have a wonderful day! 🙂

Hey guys!
So lately I have been obsessed with maxi skirts – they are so pretty and perfect for any weather, and can easily be dressed up or down. I especially love them for summer nights because they aren’t too heavy that they will make you super warm, but they also provide a little extra something if it gets chillier once the sun goes down.
I have especially been lusting over this one (which you can find here)! It is absolutely gorgeous and looks really comfortable.
This one is pretty similar, just with a cute pattern over it which I love as well. It looks so classy with it’s vintage-y pattern! You can find it here.
I love the lace cutouts on the side! The pattern is really pretty, but the cut outs add a really cool look to it, as well as the slit on the side. Find it here!
I have always loved this color – you can easily wear it in any season! The material is also so gorgeous and looks really soft. You can take a closer look here.
I love the flowers on this one! They look really nice against the black background, and are able to really pop. You can find it here. I also found a similar one to this one for a lot cheaper, which can be seen here.
This pattern is really cute as well; it is quite busy, but the colors help it tone down. You can find it here,
Well those are some skirts I have found lately that I have been wanting! I’ve actually been throwing around the idea of ordering the first or second one, I just wish they would go on sale!
Anyway, thank you so much for reading, and have a great day!
Would you spend a lot of money on a clothing item if you had been wanting it for a while?
