My cousin purchased a Shiraleah bag last year and I wanted to steal it off her shoulder immediately! When I went on a hunt for one of my own I found that not only were they affordable, they were vegan leather, they had bright colors but I wanted every single one available! I honestly can’t decide which one I want to get. Which one would you get?
Christmas List: Der Edition
December 9, 2009 by
So you all saw AK’s list of fabulousness. Now it’s my turn.
(Pssst…Husband PLEASE pay careful attention to what is to follow)
- Victoria’s Secret, The Soft Sexy Wrap -I love the fact that this is like an upgraded t-shirt/cardigan combo. That is My FAVORITE combo and pretty much daily uniform, by the way.
- Best Buy, Nikon D5000– I would love this camera more than any of my family members, including my dogs. Ook, not them. But everyone else. If I hadn’t already proven myself to be an expensive camera breaker, I MIGHT actually be eligible for this gift.
- Restoration Hardware, Telescoping Frames– Being that I just got married 10ish months ago, we have more pictures than we know what to do with. These are so unique and different.
- Macys, Fiesta Canisters– I ADORE the green. These would look so cute in my colorful kitchen.
- Etsy, dearestinez Large Leaf Earrings -UM so cute, so fun, so funky. I just may be gifting these to myself for Christmas.
- Old Navy, Womens Cable Knit Slipper Boots– My toesies would be so toasty in these. I’ve seen a version of these everywhere and I have been coveting.
- Urban Outfitters, Dachshund Lamp– Do I even need to go into why I would want/need this? No, I didn’t think so.
- Ann Taylor LOFT, Refined Knit Ruffle Neck Dress– Because I NEED more ruffles in my life. NO, I don’t have anywhere to wear it! SO??
- Mac Cosmetics, Tinted Lipglass in Spite -This was the first lipglass that I ever owned and I think I need to bring it back into my life Christmas 2009. It’s a mauvy pink and perfection.
- Pier1, Assorted Doorknob Wall Hooks– I’ve been eyeing these babies for a while now. What a super cute way to hang your coat or whatevs.
- Macys, Joseph Joseph Multi Color Spatula Design Cutting Board– Cute, colorful and belongs in mah kitchen!
- Gap, Mesh Chain Necklace– I want this for two reasons: a) it’s a subtle way to do the whole sequin trend going on and b) I’ve already planned my New Years outfit and it won’t be complete without it.
- Nordstrom, Jeffrey Campbell ‘Charo’ Slingback Sandal– Ruffles, love. Red, Love. Perfect HOT date with the hubby shoe. Nuff said.
- bossa, Shiraleah Jennifer Large Tote Bag– This brand is pretty sweet…looks remarkably similar to HOBO International for a fraction of the cost, plus this blue color is totally rocking my world.
- ZenniOptical, 2344 Plastic Full-Rim Frame– HOT pink frames? Must.have.
Oh, I almost forgot… while I’m wishing… I’ll take an endless supply of these.
