Wants but not Needs

There is this thing about online shopping that gets to me. I find myself satisfying a craving but putting large massive amounts of clothing into a shopping cart with no intent on buying it. Hopefully, it's not just me with this problem.
Recently, there are several things that I find myself always looking at online and have now become obsessed.
All these things are items that I have got in my head that I "need."
All are somewhat summer essentials and thought that it would be fun to share...

White Ked Slip-ons from Gap
$39.50
Sometimes I am just not in the mood to wear sandals in the summer...
If I know either a) I am going to be near a lot of dirt and don't feel like having dirty feet all day or b) I find myself slacking on painting my toenails.
These shoes are a great solution and will always work since they are white!

Assets for Target
$12-15
I am a firm believer in that everyone needs shapewear under certain pieces of clothing.
It completes and outfit and has nothing to do with size, height, weight, etc!
These were brought to my attention while watching one of my favorite YouTube beauty guru's channel DulceCandy87.
This brand sold exclusively at target is the same person that creates Spanx but for a much more affordable price!! Man, I love Target!

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray
$23
Since I am currently in college and have the normal budget of a college kid, I am unable to go out and waste money on beauty products in which I want to try out...
therefore, I do a lot of research on websites and watch reviews on YouTube before I buy an unfamiliar product.
This product seriously has been on many beauty expert's must-have list for the summer!
The amazing curls that we all get from the ocean in a nice little bottle...what more could a girl ask for?

[The next two items are pieces of clothing that I have gotten inspiration from celebrities and don't particularly have a brand in mind. I will show the pictures of the look that I want and hopefully will eventually get.]

Kim Kardashian
Nombre Jumpsuit
$130
Kim Kardashian has recently worn this Nombre jumpsuit, and I have been obsessing over finding a similar jersey knit jumpsuit. I love how effortless and comfortable this jumpsuit is! It shows you what summer is all about.

Rachel Zoe
Striped maxi dress by Otis and Maclain
$160
I have been dying to have a straight, striped (black & white) maxi dress forever now!
Another piece that is made for the summer time and is currently on trend (as well as the stripes).


There are always going to be things that I want and don't necessarily need, but sometimes a couple of key pieces or one splurge can help you walk the talk that much easier!!
