Summer Wishlist

 
Summer is just a few months away, which automatically skyrockets my motivation and happiness! Except for the fact that it is currently snowing here in Pennsylvania...WHAT? C'mon Mother Nature; it's April now. Where's spring at?
 
Rather than dwelling on the fact that Mother Nature seems to think that it is still winter, I thought it would be the perfect time to post my Summer Wishlist! (Plus, it will help me forget about the current weather situation.)  I asked you all in my last blog post if you wanted me to do a Summer Wishlist blog post and everyone was up for it! You ask, and I deliver..so here we go!


Alright, first up on the list are these absolute beauties. I've been researching different brands and types of workout sneakers for a while now, but I think I've finally come to a decision. These gems are called the Nike Free RN Distance and they are an absolute dream. Comfortable and stylish, they will be perfect for both sweaty gym sessions and trips to the coffee shop. My current workout sneakers are black, and I honestly don't know what I was thinking when I chose that color. Because the majority of my clothes are already black, I was lacking some serious color. And to me, color equals energy, confidence, and happiness! That's why I'm choosing this stunning ocean blue color with the hot lava pink accents. With these shoes, I can guarantee I'll strut my stuff with confidence!

 
Now, this blog post is called a "wishlist" for a reason. I've seen these stunning leggings floating around some of my favorite fitness girlies on Instagram and I finally just found out where they are from! These are called the Knockout leggings in the "All Over Digi Cubes Reflective" print from Victoria's Secret. However, they are very pricey at a whopping $72.50! Quite insane for a pair of workout leggings if you ask me. Nevertheless, I've heard from may people that the quality of these leggings are out-of-this-world good. To be quite honest, I don't see myself making a purchase like this anytime soon, but I wanted to include these in this post for some inspiration! Like I said before, my clothes are typically all black, so hopefully this will motivate me to add some color into my wardrobe!
 
 
If you've never heard of the brand Tiger Mist, are you hiding under a rock?! Haha, just kidding. But seriously, Tiger Mist is an Australian clothing brand with the most insanely stunning clothes. Have you ever gone onto a website and started adding items to your bag, but then you realize that the total is like, $1000? Yeah, this is exactly what I do with Tiger Mist. When I saw this romper, I was an actual representation of the heart eyes emoji. This is called the "Palm Springs" playsuit and I'm in love. When I finally get a job after school ends, this will 100% be one of my first purchases.
 
 
I'm not quite finished with Tiger Mist.  I've been loving the trend of tops with ties that go around the neck. This "Casey Crop" top not only would look amazing with a pair of high-waisted shorts, but it would pair perfectly with a pair of boyfriend jeans and heels for a laid back, yet stylish look!
 
 
As I start incorporated more color into my active wear wardrobe, a neon-green sports bra is an absolute necessity. I am in love with bright colored sports bras that peek through tank tops, and this is the perfect color to do that. Plus, this little number is only $13 from Forever 21!
 
 
 
I told you that I was obsessed with the neck-tie trend! As I really only have one swimsuit, I cannot wait to pick up this Crisscross Halter Bikini from Forever 21. For both the top and bottoms, it totals to only about $25... a bargain you just cannot beat!
 
 
When I'm not wearing workout sneakers or flip-flops in the summer, I love a nice pair of chunky-heel sandals. I cannot wait to rock these Perforated Faux Leather Booties with a romper, little white dress, or high-waisted denim shorts; the possibilities are simply endless!
 
You know I could go on forever with wish lists, so I think I'll stop myself here before I get too carried away! For you lovelies who wanted to see a Summer Wishlist, I hope I delivered well! When these purchases finally make their way into my possession, I will 100% be doing some type of lookbook including everything I purchase, so keep an eye out for that!
Once Mother Nature gets her bum into gear and brings us some warmer weather, expect to see more content on the blog including more recipes and a heck of a lot more fitness posts! With the school year beginning to come to and end, I can't wait to finally be able to get a job (which means more money for new clothes...not going to lie haha!) plus have more time to dedicate to my blog.
Thanks for reading!
 
Much love,
Gabriella xx

Spring Wishlist


Spring is on it's way (finally!) and you all know what that means. It's time to put those coats, sweaters, and scarves away and replenish that wardrobe. I don't know about you, but my closet is in some desperate need for some new clothes. If you follow me on Twitter (@gababoutlife), you might have seen my tweet about running out of clothes to shoot. Fashion blogger problems! That being said, I've spent some time this weekend have a look around different websites to create my Spring Wishlist to share with you all. It includes everything from clothes, shoes, and technology. I think it's safe to say that my wallet isn't going to be too happy about this...
 
 
 
 
When I saw some of my favorite fitness bloggers talk about this product, I automatically fell in love. I've been wanting one of these cool little gadgets for a while now but never saw a one I particularly liked...except when I saw this one. The main reason why I love this one is its sleek look plus the awesome features and touch screen. I think these fitness trackers are especially cool because they hold you accountable for maintaining an active lifestyle, even if you're not a gym-goer!

I don't think I can find the right words to describe my love for these shoes...but I'll try my best. I always loved these shoes but all the ones I've come across were well above the price I would consider paying for a pair of shoes. However, Public Desire knows how to do stunning shoes for an insanely good price. I saw this style from one of my favorite fashion bloggers, Sarah Ashcroft, and (again!) instantly fell in love. After teetering back and forth between the nude and pink creepers, I've decided to opt for this color because of how versatile they'll be! Link: http://www.publicdesire.com/yinka-creepers-in-beige-faux-suede-and-gum-sole
 
 
Culottes are probably one of, if not, my all time favorite fashion trend. Whenever I see someone rocking these cool pants, I automatically think, "Damn, girl! You rock those culottes!" Honestly, you have to be confident in yourself to wear something different and daring like these. And that's exactly what I want to do. This spring, I am determined to step outside of my comfort zone of jeans and rompers and wear something that will turn people's heads. And what's better than this culotte set in this stunning rose color?! Link: http://www.boohoo.com/co-ords/rose-high-neck-crop+long-culotte-co-ord-set/invt/dzz84867
 
 
Now I know I literally just said that I wanted to step outside of my comfort zone of rompers, but look how beautiful this number is! Spring time is all about that bohemian-look and I absolutely adore the cut-out detailing on this playsuit. Plus, an off the shoulder piece will allow me to tan my snow white shoulders! Link: http://www.boohoo.com/new-in/ella-off-the-shoulder-chiffon-playsuit/invt/dzz83196
 
 
I don't think I've ever seen such a beautiful, yet different dress than this one from Forever 21. Forever 21 usually has some amazing pieces; however, they can sometimes be a little plain. When I saw this one on their website, my jaw dropped. This little number will 100% be in my wardrobe for this spring season. Pair it with a some strappy heeled sandals or even the gladiator ones like in the picture, and you've got yourself one kick-ass spring outfit! Link: http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=dress&ProductID=2000168980&VariantID=
 
I could continue on forever with this list, but I think I'll stop here before this post goes on for miles. Some more pieces that I would love to add to my wardrobe are definitely boyfriend jeans, gladiator sandals, and some new tops (because you can never have too many of those!)
I hope you enjoyed reading about my newest obsessions that will hopefully be in my wardrobe (and on my wrist for that fitness tracker!) within the next couple weeks. I'll definitely be blogging about my new additions so keep your eyes peeled! Thanks for reading!
Much love,
Gabriella xx
