Here on this blog, I am not trying to tell anyone how to dress. I am not admitting myself a fashion expert on this blog, or attempting to be the height of trendiness. I am just showing what I wear every day. And therefore I will create my dream wish list without misinforming others, preaching what I believe to be "hip" or anything else. Don't like my list? That's okay. I doubt you like my wardrobe all the time either. It's all good! Go ahead and rant, I won't be offended!
Dear Santa:I have been a very good girl this year. I adhered to my resolution of giving back to the community, the one of starting to write in public (three blogs!) and as for the one about losing weight... well you can't say I haven't at least tried on occasion!
As you know, I love me some accessories. I have been eying this Burberry purse. I know it's pretty pricey, but I adore the green color - what a fabu accent with all my clothes! Imagine Santa, that green with a pair of ringspun denim!
In 2005 I have been quite daring, Santa. I have gone outside the box and have allowed myself to own shoes that are not black - in fact one of my facvorite pairs of shoes are brown snakeskin pumps! Brown Santa, can you believe it? Well since I have added to my shoe wardrobe with shades of brown, I think this purse from Marc Jacobs would made a lovely addition to the fashion family:
And look at the studs! You know how much I like biker and rocker-themed accessories!
And Santa, you know I love luxurious home accessories - I have wanted a Tocca candle for a very long time. The Cleopatra fragrance is my fave:
Speaking of the home Santa - you know I adore my fashion but I love my home to look as nice as my body. This is why my darling Santa, I really need the Marston Sleigh Bed from Restoration Hardware:
As you know Santa, my husband and I are still sleeping on the rickety white faux-iron bed I bought from IKEA in 1997 and the mattress set that *GASP* his mom had before she died. This bed would be lovely with a Tempur-Pedic mattress system. King size please - we love the snuggliness of our Queen, but my darling hubby still has to bend his legs to fit in the bed - King would be so lovely for his tootsies!
And Santa, you know I am a sucker for advertising. Because of this I would really like a Right-Hand Ring. I love my bling on my left hand - it means love and union. However my right hand doesn't look right any more wearing my chunky turquoise and silver rings with the platinum in competition. I think this would suit my right hand nicely:
While we are speaking of jewelry Santa - I would really like a watch. I know, I know I haven't worn one in years. I lose them, break them, find them annoying but I think I am an adult now - there are times and places where a watch could be quite lovely. I would like a classic timepiece that isn't overly trendy or overly stuffy. I believe this one from Bulova would be a great stocking stuffer:
And dear Santa - I have been traveling a decent amount for work, and plan to travel for pleasure in the New Year. I could really use a new suitcase. My current pullman is very sad lookin g- it's last trip through the BWI Airport luggage carousel tore the front pocket and left black scuff marks that just won't come out. I really like this hardside pullman by International Traveler. The price is excellent, and it has gotten great reviews. May I have it in Aqua Blue please? I would be able to find it in the mass of luggage at the baggage claim, and I would look terribly sassy as I race to my flight!
And Santa, I think I am the only little girl in America without an iPod.
With it I would like a pretty case, a thingie so it could play in my car, and a thingie where it could be a stereo in my bedroom!And finally Santa, my last gift is the most important one of all. My sweet Saturn is in bad shape - after the accident this year, the rearending it got two years ago, and getting it used, it is ready to be donated to Melwood on behalf of my childhood friend Terry. I believe a fitting replacement would be a nice Saab convertible.
Lime yellow please. I promise to be the designated driver all year if you could get me this! If you get me leather seats, I will be the driver for all the beach excursions!
Thank you Santa. I look forward to all my presents this coming Sunday!
Hee! I know EXACTLY which website you're talking about, and I have to say I feel the exact same way about them as you do. Half of the stuff they say is completely ridiculous, and the other half is total common sense that totally comes off as patronizing. But I try to be nice, and I read it almost everyday, somehow they've got me hooked! ;)
ReplyDeleteTotally. Sorry, just re-read my comment and I sound like quite the valley girl. Ha.
ReplyDeleteAhahaha, Alirose, you're right. Although f.cali seems very nice - and the shoes she wanted were cute too, but it was out of place. and then they didn't write anything else for DAYS!! Oh well, mostly I like their blog.
