Wish List

December 2nd, 2009

I can’t remember the last time I wrote a letter to Santa, but I figure a post dedicated to my wish list is just as effective.   I appreciate practical presents like socks and lint removers, but there’s something special about extravagant luxuries that you wouldn’t buy for yourself.  That doesn’t necessarily mean expensive (the pretty file folders I picked out below are only $18), but simply things that add a bit of joy and glamour to your daily routine.

    emily,
    I love how you make note of gifts being, “simply things that add a bit of joy and glamour to your daily routine.” That is what gifts are intended to do — I love your insight on the Christmas tradition of gift giving! Have an awesome holiday season

    What a great list! I know exactly what you mean about wanting things (even little things like file folders) that you wouldn’t necessarily buy for yourself. Every year I put Dior Diorshow mascara on my list because I love it but somehow I just can purchase it myself.

    i only know you through your blog, but the necklace, dress and gloves seem so you. You typically have something sparkly or edgy in many of your outfits.

    My wish list does include a dress (cocktail dress!), lanvin flats, dslr camera, flat riding boots and a mouse for my computer!

    What does the trigger mug do? Like what is the trigger for? Maybe I’m overlooking it, but can’t figure it out….

  • http://www.myfavouritethings-chloe.blogspot.com Chloe

    I love that Topshop dress and the necklace. I think gifts should always be something you wouldn’t buy for yourself! They should be pretty, luxurious, even frivolous!

  • http://fashionablepalette.blogspot.com/ fashionable palette

    Love each and every piece. Stella McCartney really does make the best lingerie.

  • http://katiecartersbeautybar.blogspot.com Katie

    that bra is so beautiful, of course it’s Stella McCartney..the worst part would be hiding it under a shirt : ) Happy Holidays!!

  • Stephanie

    IM DIGGEN THOSE LEATHER GLOVES! EXCELLENT CHOICE.

  • Natalie

    couldnt have said it better myself! i wish my mom would stop putting like nail files and practical things in my stocking and put like a cute ring or something instead! :) things that you wouldnt buy for your selves i believe to be the definition of what a gift is in the first place.
