Wednesday Wishlist: Muted Palette

August 21, 2013

Hello lovely Within Color readers! Sorry for being MIA the past couple weeks - things have been hectic at work and I've just moved apartments (which is always a hassle and a half). I've decided to do another Wishlist Wednesday post, because I'm an enabler and a girl can dream, right?




  1. Christian Dior Cologne: This bottle design is everything.  I think I would feel like a more mature person just by having it in my bathroom.  Cologne Royale in particular is a mix of bergamont, lemon, neroli, mint, and sandalwood.  I'm more of a vetiver girl myself, but most of the scents from this collection sound wonderful.
  2. Cat Self Defense Keychain: So I actually already own this, but I think it's awesome.  It's light, makes it easy to find my keys in my bag, and, you know, it's a cat self defense keychain (as a dog person, I'll let you know in advance that the canine version is nowhere near as cute).  I've never felt a need to actually use the keychain for its intended purpose, but it's an added bonus knowing it's there.  It comes in a bunch of colors, too.
  3. Muji Pens (0.38 mm): These pens are my absolute favorite forever.  They go on smooth, dry quick, and make my handwriting look neater than ever.  They're refillable and thus definitely worth the extra few cents over your standard ballpoint.  I love the super fine tip, but it comes in other sizes if that's not your jam.
  4. RVCA Beach Blanket: This blanket would be perfect draped over the bottom of my bed or, you know, for its intended purpose.
  5. Warby Parker Percy in Charcoal Fade: I'm due for an eye exam, and new glasses are on my mind.  These look super versatile (especially given that black frames always seem to just blend right into my eyebrows).
  6. Izola Cocktail Shaker: "May you never go to hell but always be on your way."  Appropriate, but they have a bunch of other great ones, too.
  7. Phillip Lim x Target Bag: Overall, I really like what I've seen from the Phillip Lim x Target collection - and the bags are absolutely lovely!  I'm curious to see the quality, but this one is pretty reasonably priced at $35.
  8. Nike Free Run+ 3: I'm kicking myself (no pun intended) forever now that I can't find these anywhere, but as far as sneakers go, these are pretty great.  They would look awesome paired with a casual outfit without looking like you just threw your gym shoes on en route to work out.  


 Let us know what you've been lusting after lately!
