Santa Baby 2011

Today I purchased my very first Christmas gift of the season! Some might feel that it is reckless to wait so long; Christmas is only thirteen days away. Two words people: online shopping. Never step foot inside the mall again right? I like to make things as easy as possible for my loved ones to ensure that that I get what I want so I make a list (with links) and send it to the appropriate parties. So here are ten things that I am wishing to find underneath my Christmas tree.

1. A coffee table book that is both pretty and a conversation starter. Yes, these conversations will mostly be with girls. ("100 Unforgettable Dresses" by Hal Rubenstein Amazon $23)

2. A fun and new kitchen experiment that is practically guaranteed to yield good results. (DIY Goat Cheese Kit Etsy $30ish. They are currently sold out but I will gladly take a rain check.)

3. Because every iPhone needs a case or else it's just naked. (Tortoise Snap Case Incase $35)

4. An alternate to my usual pearl studs (Tavi Earrings in Chalcedony Kendra Scott $50) 

*15% off with promo code "TISTHESEASON15" until 12/15 at midnight.

5. Arm candy for men= women. Arm candy for women= jewelry. I'd like mine in gold with the script monogram. (Ella Bangles Sarah Chloe $88)

6. A whimsical clutch to get me through the New Year's Eve festivities and beyond. (Sparkler Gia Kate Spade $95)

7. Decadent yet somewhat practical shoes. (Adena Flat Sam Edelman $150)

8. A sweet necklace that is sure to become a staple. (Mini Heart Necklace Ariel Gordon $275)

*30% off with promo code "holidaze" until 12/14.

9. A stand mixer for kitchen experiments that are not guaranteed the aforementioned good results. (Pro 500 Series 5 Quart Bowl Lift Stand Mixer in Silver Metallic KitchenAid $300)

10. A fancy pants camera that was deemed 'Best dSLR Under $1,000' by CNET. (EOS Rebel T3i (with 18-55mm IS II lens) Canon $713)
