Wish List & Black Friday FAIL!

A quick run down on my Black Friday this year. It really sucked and I didn't find much this time around. I wish my husband was here to help me because last year when we went, it was a really successful trip. I had to go by myself this time and I left the house at 2300 on Thanksgiving and when I got to the mall it was packed and every store that I planned to hit up was almost empty and trashed. Apparently the stores opened at 2000 this year which was crazy because we were eating dinner during that time. Oh btw, I had my first glass of wine ever, mind you I have been 21 for seven months already.

After the mall I went to Walmart; same scene.. empty and trashed. The MCX didn't open until 0500 so I was able to go home and sleep for awhile, it was about 0230 when I got home. I ended up going to the MCX with my parents around 0700 and that's when I was able to find some things. I surprisingly didn't get a Michael Kors bag because I didn't find one I liked, but I did get a new pair of Raybans which I'm still debating on. Got some gifts, games for my husband and when we got home it was around 1130. I went to sleep and woke up around 1500 and went to a different Walmart where I was able to find some stuff for gifts. I was pretty much disappointed this year, but next year should be better because my husband will go with me.

Here's a collage of some of the things on my wish list. There's not many beauty items I want so I separated them from the fashion-y items.


Ray-ban Gradient Gold Aviators - I already have the Ray-ban Classic Aviators, but I want one with a gradient lens. The lens on the one I have is darker but I still love them.

Mustard Beanie - Particularly the one (shown) from DailyLook. I feel like it will compliment my auburn hair color. I'm waiting on Cyber Monday to see if I can get a good coupon code; if not I will have to find some cute items on the site to make my order worthwhile.

Nike Pro Leggings & Shorts - I mainly want these for the gym and to wear around the house. I was planning to get them at the Exchange during Black Friday but they ran out of my size. Hopefully they will restock because I will not buy them full price at the mall.

Michael Kors Two-Tone Watch - I don't collect watches (as much as my sister does) but I need a silver watch to complete my "collection". I already own a white, rose gold and gold watch so I just need silver, but I didn't want plain silver and this two-tone one has just enough gold for me to want it. 

Navy Crochet TOMS & Red TOMS - The crochet design is just too cute and I love the navy color. I also like the red ones because I like wearing red for some reason.

Dr. Martens 1460 Black Greasy - The one shown is in the smooth leather but I decided I want the one in the greasy leather because the smooth leather is the hardest leather to break in. I still haven't broken in my cherry 1460s.

Michael Kors Logo Hamilton Satchel in Vanilla - This bag is the hardest for me to find! They sold it at the Exchange awhile back but then I don't see it anymore. I really like this style and I already have it in the luggage color. I don't have a MK bag in the vanilla color yet and I really want it in this style. 


Laura Mercier Secret Finish - I heard this is really good for oil control so I definitely want to try it.

Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche - I have been wanting this perfume for a couple years now, but I cannot fork up the money to buy it.

Loreal Miracle Blur - Again, I heard this is really good as a primer but for a drugstore product, I can't seem to justify paying $20 for it.
