{ten things} bike rides, homemade ice pops, etc.

I've been consumed with shopping for the perfect bike and making homemade frozen treats this summer! The idea is to be able to work off the calories I consume! Here are ten things I am currently loving and lusting after:

  1. Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color, $19 @ Sephora- I must own this in the shade 'Crush' as it seems like the perfect hot pink. The reds might be quite nice come fall. The only thing I dislike about these glossy lip pencils is the mess they make while sharpening, so I recommend keeping a sharpener just for lip pencils
  2. Gorjana Graham Leather Studded Wrap Bracelet $48 @ Shopbop;  I love wrapped leather bracelets because they are so versatile and they don't get into the way like bangles do when blogging :)
  3. Linus Mixte 3 Bicycle; I am obsessed with this color, and love the clean lines of the Linus frames.
  4. Elizabeth & James Hali Suede Platform Wedges $275 @ Shopbop; I have a soft spot for wedge sandals, I can see myself wearing the hell out of these
  5. Chalkboard State Map $45 @ etsy;  I love the idea of chalkboard maps & globes...how fun to write in your favorite places :)
  6. Smells Like Couture Scarf $68 @ Juicy Couture- scarves have been my weakness, this one is pretty & doesn't cost a fortune, so count me in :)
  7. Tulle Journals of a Milkmaid Beige Lace Skirt $39 @ Lulu's- I have a weakness for lace, but this skirt is a must (not to mention a cheap thrill!)
  8. Fujifilm Mini Instax Instant Camera $158 @ Urban Outfitters- polaroid film has been costing me a fortune, so this might help meet my instant film demands.
  9. Warehouse Ruffle Front Dress $112.05 @ ASOS; Coral is the color of the season, so this ruffle dress will fit into my rotation perfectly. I think it looks great on its own with a belt, but can easily be paired with a blazer & tights this fall.
  10. Tovolo Ice Pop Molds, Set of 6 $12; Once you have an ice pop mold, the possibilities are endless...you can start with one of these 50+ recipe ideas here.
