Wish List Wednesday - October Wants

Counting down to Friday or Saturday somehow makes the week drag, but ever since I started Wish List Wednesdays, the weeks are flying! I can't believe this is already the third installment. This past week I have started to realize that October is zipping by before my very eyes, and so I have been in panic mode trying to pack in all of the fall/Halloween activities, goodies and snacks I possibly can before the Christmas rush begins. Can't wait to share some with you! For now, though, here are a few last things I want/NEED/have scooped up for these final few weeks of October.

Festive maternity shirts - I'll buy just about anything with a sugar skull on it, and it will be good even after Halloween! I'm planning to wear the Jack-o-Lantern one on Halloween itself to take Trent to a few houses for his first trick-or-treating experience. For some reason silly graphic tees somehow become acceptable while pregnant, so I'm just jumping on board.

Halloween manicure - As IF I ever have time to do my nails anymore...and don't even mention an actual nail salon or I may start crying right here. BUT, I used these Sally Hansen Salon Effects kits the last couple of Halloweens, and I loved them! They actually turned out surprisingly well and were super easy. They seem to have died out in popularity now with the at-home gel craze, but I am still planning to use some for the holidays. They have tons of solids, glitters and more subtle prints as well...planning on all black with the ghost print thrown in there somewhere.

Baby girl headband - Yes, I realize it is a year premature, but I am already dying to get my hands on this adorable headband from Sadie Sky Boutique for baby girl's first Halloween next year! It is SO chic and just PERFECT. I may have to go ahead and pick it up now after all. Along with everything else in her shop!! Check it out..she makes the CUTEST accessories, and most everything is interchangeable so you can mix and match! Adorable, seriously.

Crock pot - I know, I know. I already have a crock pot. Yes, Matt, I know that is what you are thinking right now. But just look at how cute this one is! EEEK! I hear that appliances are on the list of modern 4th anniversary gifts. Just sayin :) I plan to make the crock pot its own little place on the counter soon, because it is going to be used ALL SEASON LONG. I just love all the yummy (and EASY) goodness that comes out of a crock pot during the cooler months.

Halloween burlap banner - This has been on my wish list for so long that I finally just made myself one, and now I am giving one away to YOU! Make sure and enter here!

Wreath - Okay, we already have a Halloween wreath, too, but I just can't stop thinking about this one. Good old Target does it again!

Coffee Cozy - If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably seen my beloved Halloween coffee cozy from the oh-so-talented Molly over at Jumping and Jelly Bean. Check out the coupon code to the right! I am 10000% obsessed with it and bring it in my purse everywhere I go, just in CASE the urge for a Starbucks hits. I literally can't drink coffee without this cozy anymore. It just makes everything feel so much more fun, festive and FALL-ish! I can't wait to order some in..every color...for every holiday. But it will be hard to retire the orange and black one this year...maybe I can find a double use for it. Wrist warmer/bracelet? YES!

Skull scarf - I fully realize I am like years behind the trend with this one, but I have been obsessed with the skull scarves ever since they hit the ~~runway~~ shelves of Target and for some unknown reason I STILL have not bought one for myself. I NEED it now though. 1) It will be perfect for Halloween (and the rest of the year) and 2) Another fourth anniversary theme? Linen and SILK. I think I see a trend here. In any case, I am going to finally take the plunge before it truly goes "out of style." I doubt I will be splurging on the $300 Alexander McQueen one, however.

Burlap pillow - I have always loved Halloween decor, but I get even more excited when I see things with "October 31" on them. While Halloween has always been a favorite, now October 31st means more than just "Halloween" with the celebration of our wedding anniversary and Trent's birthday. I missed out on the Zulily deal here, bummer, but I'm planning a DIY version!

I think I am starting to develop a love/hate/broke relationship with Wish List Wednesdays....all I want to do afterwards is shop shop SHOP! So far I have kept myself in check and out of Target, so all is well for now.

The house projects are all coming along, slowly but surely. I am dying to share so many things, but there are just a few finishing touches to add first. One thing I can share now is this awesome idea I ran across here on Pinterest. It is a free printable..my favorite!!! Within minutes I had it up in our guest room because it was just too good to put off. I don't know why I haven't ever thought of this! Every time we have guests, they ask for the wi-fi password. And every single time, we dig through every drawer looking for the "safe place" we last put it. We have taken pictures of the password on our phones, stored it in a note on our phones, etc, but somehow we can never find it when we need it. This is such a fun solution, and it will come in handy even just for the two of us. It is in a fairly small frame, about 3 x 5, so just the right size to be cute and noticeable without being too much. Note: This obviously isn't our real password...or is it?
