Favorite Month Ever!

June is almost here and it is my favorite month ever! Why? Well it is not only this chica's birthday but my hubby's big day as well! I love that we have the same birthday month (however he gets 25 days; I barely get 24 hours).

As much as I love planning his birthday celebrations, I don't mind getting a few gifts myself. Hey I have been working my butt off these past few weeks!

Here are a few things I wouldn't hate to get:

1. I love a good statement necklace and the white goes with everything 

2. Rifle Paper has the best designs (story: the hubs questioned my Mother's Day gift to myself... a new phone cover from Rifle Paper Co.; I told him the pups picked it out... that got an eye roll) 

3. This Madewell shift is great for the hot Southern summer ahead

4. I need some black wedges BAD! I thought these were cute and a Piperlime coupon just landed in my mail... coincidence, I think not!

5. I think my other husband should get some QT time this holiday season. I mean it would only be proper to pay my respects since he was so kind to add an Atlanta stop to his fall tour. I may or may not be pondering making the show solo... only to relive my middle school N'Sync years.

6. I love a good scarf and this one is neon. Two for one!
