Wish List

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.

12 Fanny G { 12.02.09 at 4:09 am }

Necklace, Lamp, Pochette <3 As usual, great picks!
On my wishlist, a Greg Gorman book, clothes from the “Fashion” file on my computer, a Diana-Mini, and lots of smiles ! (also, the right to change my date of birth and say I’ll turn 19 and not 20 in feb).

13 Ashley { 12.02.09 at 5:42 am }

Love all of it! I think I may need to make that mug a gift for my husband :)

14 Jill { 12.02.09 at 5:52 am }

I may take a cue from you and add some lux dark nail polish to my list because you’re right–the holidays are a time to splurge on extravagances you wouldn’t necessarily buy for yourself…not just the crockpot, yoga DVDs, and snow boots I asked for this year. ;)

15 laura trevey { 12.02.09 at 6:06 am }

i will take one of each please….
happy day to you :)

LOVE the little yellow purse! Hmmm, on my wish list? Something sparkly! And pink!

51 Closet Cravings { 12.02.09 at 11:50 am }

Don’t you just miss writing a letter to Santa? I miss the fun of being a kid and believing in him. It’s magical. Love your folder pick – makes even the not-so-fab beautiful.

To create a little fun for the holidays, I’ve organized a special holiday giveaway “Holiday Fashion Frenzy”. Over a $1,000 of fashionable gifts, including gift cards, makeup, jewelry, and more!
Hope you enter! =)

52 Vanessa { 12.02.09 at 12:12 pm }

I’ve been dying, dying, DYING for those Lanvin flats…

53 Alicia { 12.02.09 at 12:13 pm }

54 joslyn { 12.02.09 at 12:19 pm }

55 emily { 12.02.09 at 12:23 pm }

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

56 Talk Pretty To Me { 12.02.09 at 12:44 pm }

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.

xoxo

That little bralette is adorable!

58 EmilythePanda { 12.02.09 at 12:59 pm }

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!

59 samantha hutchinson { 12.02.09 at 1:13 pm }

61 Anna { 12.02.09 at 3:11 pm }

I love the trigger mug! Haha how creative! That is an item I would totally impulse buy. Matter fact… I might just do that right now.
Love the hot pants from TopShop too. Super cute.

62 Beth { 12.02.09 at 3:42 pm }

65 tiffany { 12.02.09 at 4:53 pm }

76 Miyan { 12.04.09 at 7:40 am }

Love your blog; your style; your taste. The dress is amazing!

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

77 Chloe { 12.04.09 at 1:06 pm }

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!

78 fashionable palette { 12.04.09 at 3:29 pm }

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

79 Katie { 12.09.09 at 10:40 pm }

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

80 Stephanie { 12.14.09 at 12:17 pm }

IM DIGGEN THOSE LEATHER GLOVES! EXCELLENT CHOICE.

81 Natalie { 12.16.09 at 10:46 pm }

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.

82 Christina { 03.10.10 at 4:50 pm }

The Marni Clutch is awesome….. It is just girly enough. On my wish list a pair of hot pink really really high Christian Loubitans

83 Berty { 04.14.10 at 11:50 am }

Looks so “Carrie Bradshaw” I love it!

84 Lissa { 11.08.10 at 11:47 am }

LOVE the raybans I’ve wanted those forever too!
