Lately: Up & Coming

Hey guys! How was your New Years!? Isn't it just nuts to think it's already 2014!
Anyway, I thought I'd share some photos of my life lately and what I've been up to, as well as introducing you to some changes I've made/will make for 2014!

First and foremost, I have changed my Etsy shop completely! As of 6 PM Central time, I will have all new vintage items up, as well as a new name! I felt that Wearable Wishes was too juvenile, so I have changed it to Mint Rose Vintage. I think it has a cute ring to it. Check it out at mintrosevintage.etsy.com at 6 PM promptly! (That's Chicago time) Or click the caption in the photo below:

The next part of this update post is that I have a lot of super fun installments planned for this blob! I'm going to take this a little more seriously, and actually post more fashion related things. I haven't done an outfit post in ages, which is not fun because I have some seriously cute dresses to show you guys! I also would love to start reviewing items, so if you have a product you'd like me to review ~honestly~ send me an email at mfoxcontact@gmail.com I'm also planning on doing film and music posts as well as much more photography! I'm really excited for this upcoming year, as school has calmed down and I should be able to dedicate a lot more time to this blog, my YouTube channel, and my Etsy shop. :)


Now down to life stuff! For Christmas my lovely mom bought me the cutest pair of boots you ever did see. I finally got my hands on some Hunter Wellies! Black patent but of course. I have been wearing them nonstop.

The day after Christmas I threw an ugly sweater and it was too much fun. At one point half the party was gathered around the piano rapping Christmas songs while they played them. Now I leave you with some pictures of my beautiful friends!













Asian boyfriends hahaha
And then on New Years a similar group of people got together and it was a good time. Unfortunately I left my phone and my sim card at home so I didn't get very many pictures!! But these are a couple my friends took.





How has your holiday season been!? Can't wait to continue to talk to you this year. But currently, I need to attend to my Lord of the Rings marathon. Talk to you soon,
Megan

Christmas Wishes pt. 1

Hello everyone! Since Christmas is coming up, and my parents keep asking me what I want for Christmas, I decided I would make a post detailing some items that I've been coveting. Here are a few things on my list:

I originally saw this absolutely adorable dress on Tori Lynne's blog Generations Collective. I just recently found her blog, but I am completely in love with it. She is gorgeous, and her style is impeccable--as is her Etsy shop! I totally recommend checking it out.

I was so inspired by her outfits, that I fell in love with this dress from Oasap! Definitely high up on my list.

In the same post that she was wearing the dress above, she was also wearing this perfect hat. I love the wine color, as it definitely transcends across all seasons.

This dress from Dahlia is also incredibly high up on my list! I'm a huge proponent fro winter whites, and this dress hits the spot. The sleeves and color are just so dainty and picturesque and crisp next to the off-white chiffon.

If you know me well, then you know that I listen to a lot music, and I'm incredibly particular with the music I listen to. Here's some of my top picks I'd love to have on vinyl.

Arctic Monkeys-AM
Found HERE

Best Coast-Crazy For you
Found HERE
A couple of other records I'd love to own:
  • The Velvet Underground & Nico
  • Bon Iver-For Emma
  • Paradise-Lana Del Rey
  • LAKE-The World is Real
  • LAKE-Giving & Receiving
  • She & Him-Volume 1&3 (I already have 2)
  • Coexist-The XX
  • Belle and Sebastian-Dear Catastrophe Waitress
  • The Smiths-Meat is Murder
Tomorrow I will be posting part two of my list with more clothing :)

Wednesday Wishes: Black Friday Edition

Hello everyone! Happy almost Thanksgiving :)
This is one of my favorite holidays because it combines family, glorious food, and shopping. LOTS of shopping. It's like the perfect day.

This year we're celebrating at my brother-in-law's (eep! so weird to say that) parents' house. This is the first time I'm going elsewhere for Thanksgiving dinner, but I have high hopes! I think it's going to be absolutely lovely ^^ I just hope there will be a vegetarian entrée!

Anyway, in the spirit of Black Friday in a couple of days, I'm going to put together a list of pieces I'll be looking out for on my little shopping adventure!

Pour Moi:
Although I'm going to mostly be doing Christmas present shopping, I have a few things in mind that I want to look out for.

Hunter Boots

Ever since I saw HelloKatyxo from YouTube wear these in one of her videos, I've been wanting a pair ever since. I just can't get myself to dish out $140 on a pair of boots, even though I know I'd get a ton of use out of them. I've found an adequate ripoff on eBay, but they aren't as pretty or as nice as these. I'm going to keep a lookout for a discounted pair on Friday! Maybe Nordstrom will have them?

Pixie Jodhpur Pant

When I started my internship over the summer, I went into J Crew on the hunt for business casual attire. I tried on their pixie pants and fell in love with the fit. Unfortunately the price tag prevented me from buying a pair, but I'm hoping that J Crew will have some sort of sale to lower the price on these (with the leather blocking) so I can make my dreams come true!

More Less Specific Items:
-Plain Skirts (I have too many patterned ones!)
-Plain Shirts (To go with my patterned skirts!)
-Ankle Boots
-Winter Dresses
-Long Sleeved Shirts
-Sweaters

Gifts:
Black/Grey Blazer

My brother requested a nice grey or black blazer for Christmas, and I'm hoping I can find a good one at H&M discounted so I can get him the nicest one possible in his price range.

Sweater(s)

I don't want to say who, even though I know she doesn't read my blog, but I still want to be assured! These are a few sweaters I've been looking at for a certain someone!
I have a ton of other things I'm looking out for, but I don't want to share them because they're a little specific, and I want my presents to be a surprise!

Are you going Black Friday shopping this year? If so, good luck!

Etsy Christmas Collection

Silver Jingle Bell Glittery Holiday Winter Christmas Headband

Hello! Guess what!? I've added three new Holiday inspired items to my Etsy shop! All three are super adorable headwear than you can find over on my shop, WearableWishes.

I never thought I would enjoy running an Etsy shop as much as I do, so I would like to thank you guys for making it possible. I don't think I would be as motivated if it weren't for your nice feedback on Instagram and YouTube. It seriously means the world to me.

I hope you have a lovely rest of your Monday, and I will talk to you soon :)
Best,
