My Wish List

I've been a pretty good girl this year...so I think I deserve everything on my wish list :)

I got a sample of this at Sephora and fell in love!

You can't go wrong with the classic Le Pliage Longchamp tote in navy (or grey!)

These black suede wedge booties from Boutique 9 are perfect NYC winter weather going out shoes!

Two great movies I'd love to own, Sex & The City 2 and eat, pray, love!

I'm interested in getting into this series of books by Stieg Larsson

Now what wish list wouldn't be complete without that one over the top...you better be on the nice list...I hope Santa has been eating his Wheaties type of gift.....

I want a new 2 bedroom apt with a walk-in closet and wash/dryer in the unit...plus a balcony or terrace please :)

Thanks Santa!

For The Man Who Has Everything!

My husband is an interesting person to buy a gift for. I wouldn't necessarily say he's the man with everything...he did snag me :) But he is the man that buys everything that he wants. This makes this time of year a little tricky. I luckily only have to worry about this around this time of year since his birthday and Christmas are only a week and a half a part. So what do you get the man that buys everything he wants??? I've learned to wait until the very last moment to buy! If I know he really wants something, I give it to him for his birthday (the sooner he gets it equals less time for him to try and buy it himself). It's a dangerous game to play, but someone has to do it. So while everyone else is looking at all their lovely gifts nicely wrapped under the Christmas tree...I'll be running around (and typing away on my keyboard - ecommerce, hello!) collecting all my darlings goodies at the very last minute!
Happy Holidays!

Traveling during the Holidays

I am a premature packer. My husband gives me a hard time about it but I take pride in my packing abilities. I actually enjoy it! With the holidays...here, my packing season has begun. I normally take up my entire bed when I pack (the photo above is just for show, haha). I make stacks with my clothes based on the day and activities for the day (for example: Thursday - Thanksgiving Dinner, comfortable army green dress with grey tight. Friday - 6am shopping at outlets, sweatpants and comfortable shoes!).
If you're traveling across the country or across the street this Thanksgiving Thursday, be safe, be happy, and most of all be thankful :) Happy Thanksgiving!

Tis' the season for...window dressers!

My book of the moment, Simon Doonan's Confessions of A Window Dresser, is a great book to read right in time for the fun holiday season. One thing that I absolutely love about living in New York City is looking at all the department store holiday windows come alive. Doonan, the amazing Creative Director of Barney's New York, tells a great story of how he came to be one of the best known window dressers in the world. His story is funny, encouraging, and inspiring for anyone that's not quite sure what they want to do in life. Doonan wasn't really sure what he wanted to do but he knew he was destined for greatness. I love that he took advantage of just about every opportunity given to him. He's just doing what he loves...you got to love that!
