All I Want For Christmas

How is your Christmas shopping going? I finished up almost everything by Cyber Monday (even managed to pick up a couple things for myself). I have 1 more present left to purchase. I hope to pick it up soon so I can get all of my gifts wrapped, under the tree, and then forget all about the crazy busy stores until after the holidays.

Meanwhile, I have rounded a Christmas wish list of items I would not mind spotting under my tree come Christmas morning.

Frends BaubleBar Headphones // Because any girl who loves sparkle and music as much as me should own bejeweled headphones.

Evening Belles Lucinda Clutch // I have been swooning over this clutch for months. It just may be one of the prettiest things ever.

Erica Flats // I'm a flats kind of girl and foxes are just too adorable.

Ear Crawlers // They are a little edgy while still being very feminine.

Maise Keychain // A #stockingstuffer every girl would love.

Fame and Flowers Necklace // It is always fun adding new additions to my growing statement necklace collection. Plus, this one is rose gold.

Ginger Jar // Ginger Jars are stylish and sophisticated. While all colors are wonderful nothing beats classic blue and white.

Bow Slippers // For keeping my toes cute and warm this winter.

Journal // This journal is beautiful but if you are not a fan of A Midsummer Night's Dream there are four other pretty ones to choose from.

Leather Pouch // Scallops. Enough said.

Geode in Brass Caliper // The perfect desk, coffee table, or bookcase accessory.

Marine True Liquid Body Soap // A little luxury.

Burberry Nail Polish // Burberry polishes apply easy and dry fast which is very important if you have a hard time sitting still long enough for your polish to dry like me.

Myers Lemon Tree // Since I received my first cactus a few months ago I have developed a huge thing for live plants. This pretty little lemon tree might be somewhat harder to care for but it would be a beautiful addition to a home and the blooms would smell amazing.

Bow Leather Gloves // They are a chic cold weather necessity.

Patterned Socks // The cutest socks and only $7.

Charlotte Table Lamp // I love home decor statement pieces.

The temperatures have finally warmed up and that has me embracing spring. With spring comes spring cleaning. I hope to tackle my closet next week. I am also ready to do a little sprucing up at home.

My wish list is way larger than my budget but I thought I would share a few of my favorite finds with you today like this incredibly fun pink chair, these useful striped candles, and this gold bamboo accent table.

Some more fun finds:

Sequined Dress (sparkle!) / Gold Stripe Sweater / d'Orsay Pumps (sassy heels) / Earrings / Gold Tassel Necklace (only $36) / Backpack / Dolce and Gabbana Pour Femme Intense
It seems like I have more crazy weeks than not lately. This weekend is the first free weekend I have had in a while and the only one I will have for at least the next couple months. I am going to take advantage of it and attempt to schedule a few blog posts, catch up on what I have saved on my DVR, bake an apple pie, and catch up on some much needed sleep. My favorites are a few feminine items that I have spotted lately like this stunning but expensive sequined dress and some sparkly earrings. Which item is your favorite?

Currently Coveting

Palm Beach Pillow / Tropical Floral Shirtdress / Ear Cuffs / iPhone Case / Clutch / Ankle Strap Flats /> Paradise Cove Tablecloth
A current little wish list of items that I think are wonderful. Perhaps because I just got home from Florida a few days ago I am currently wishing for numerous items in tropical prints such as dress and this pineapple print tablecloth. I am almost certain I need flats in my life. What items are on your current wish list?

Joules Wish List

Brown Floral Welly Print (my current favorites!) / Pinkspot Welly Print / Mary King Gilet Vest (love the crest) / Navy Stripe Wellibob / Premium Rain Boots (bows!) / England Red Vest / Creme Vest
Joules is a brand I first feel in love with a couple years ago when I spotted these rain boots. Being the girly girl that I am the ribbon bows instantly made me swoon. I always find myself reaching for my wellibobs whenever the forecast calls for rain. I cannot even begin to describe how comfortable they are and how much they brighten up dreary days for me (plus their quality is amazing). Joules currently has so many stylish options of rain boots and vests available that I made a little wish list of my favorites including these above.

There are so many pretty things to find on Etsy. I have rounded up a few of my current favorites above. They include sequin hangers to hang special items on, a beautiful eco-friendly travel mug for your coffee, bar stud earrings that I am obsessed with, a wonderful tray that would look beautiful decorating a coffee table, and a stylish monogram clutch. This vase would be perfect on a office desk and would definitely brighten your day whenever you looked at it. Any Etsy recommendations that I should be sure to check out?

Friday Favorites

I honestly seldom wear outfits compromised totally over neutrals. I love color and typically gravitate to colorful pieces but lately neutrals have been catching my eye way more often. This draped dress would be incredibly flattering. I have documented my love of midi skirts on this blog before ( here and here) this faux leather skirt with its perfect pleats would fill right at home in my closet. I am like a five year old when it comes to dinosaurs. I love them! A direct result of that is my huge love for this keychain.

Tiger has his own stock that gets hung on the mantle each year and always receives a few new toys, a collar, and some special treats. I have rounded up some great items that I am certain Tiger would love to have including a monogram cat bed, a pretty new collar, and a soft knitted mouse.

March Wish List

In like a lion and out like a lamb. That's what they say about March. Do you think it is true? Weather-wise it is looking like it is going to be true. We are starting March with snow here and cold weather. Hopefully after the first week of March, things will look up. I have put together a few things that are on my wishlist.

Double Breasted Peacoat - Teal Trimmed Clear Umbrella - Pearl and Mint Flats - Gold Faced Mint Watch - Mint Skinny Belt
Maybe you noticed that my items fall into a theme. First we have a weather related theme. With the snow and cold right now, I would love to have a peacoat like the one about. I also expect there will be a lot of rain this month and I have always wanted a clear umbrella. Then we have the mint theme. I can't help it. Everyone is posting about mint colored items lately and it is like my favorite color. These mint items are beautiful and I would love them all. If I could only choose one item from this list I would want the mint watch the most. What's on your wish list at the moment?

Easily one of the most beautiful cities in the world, my October wish list centers around influences from the City of Lights.

I have literally been dreaming of this Mulberry handbag, available here, for months. It is classic Mulberry in a fun, bold color. Unfortunately, with a price tag of $5,500 it is out of my price range. This handbag is very near to perfection and would be an amazing investment piece.

"Enjoy the little things for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." - Robert Brault

I took this week off from work and it is an extremely welcomed break. I am using this week to get away for a few days, knock a few things off of my to-do list that I never seem to have time to accomplish, plus making sure I do a few nice things for myself (I am actually scheduling a nap into my schedule this week!). I have been concentrating a lot the last few weeks on finding a balance in life and attempting take much better care of myself. I hope each of you are heading toward a long, stress free holiday weekend.

I am not sure how I missed the memo on how stylish Hunter Boots can be. I have seen them pop up on several blogs lately and I have to say that I am falling in love with them. Hunter Boots are a classic staple that would be a perfect purchase now that we are entering the rainy Spring season. The only question is what color to choose. Do you have a pair of Hunter Boots? If so I would love to know what color.

Don't forget to enter our giveaway for a beautiful personalized necklace designed by the lovely Sima Gilady.

I have shared my love for elbow patches before here. I recently stumbled across this ASOS Sweater with its heart elbow patches that is just darling. I have to admit that I think heart elbow patches just may be the best of all elbow patches. I also love these adorable cuff bracelets from Odette. The small, delicate silver and brass cuffs are beautiful paired together.
