christmas is a time for love and joy and selflessness,
for blasting vince guaraldi jazz music and sitting by the fire with family,
roasting chestnuts and gay apparel or whatever...
but it's also about hitting up your friends and family for awesome swag
so here is my 2010 christmas wish list
enjoy, be merry, and always remember to say please and thank you.
and here's a little background music to get you in the mood. one of my all-time favorites
1. marc by marc jacobs ozzie lucy tote
love at first sight.
this bag is an amazing, faux ostrich print, it's the perfect size, the perfect neutral color to mix and match with anything (though my closet is a sea of neutrals), but within a few hours of putting it in my online shopping cart it was sold out.
what a tease.
2. proenza schouler kaleidoscope dress
(rental). let's get serious.
thank you, renttherunway.com
thanks to my beautiful and talented actor friend, paloma, for finding this gem of a rental site.
if you haven't heard of it, rent the runway is a site that makes dreams come true. rent designer dresses for 2-4 days at around 10% of the cost. and it's invite only, but don't worry, i've got the
hookup.
ps check out the hilariously honest blog of miss paloma at
3. chunky-heeled shoes
i'm sort of into the ode to the 90's/marc jacobs-style chunky heel
|
louboutin bibi 140 suede |
|
aldo baisley in bordeaux |
also, i'm only slightly ashamed to admit that i am loving the velvet trend.
as cheesy as it is, if done right, i think it's so swanky.
and it doesn't hurt that boys will wanna be rubbing up against you all night.
too much? whatever, i said it.
4. beach cruiser
obviously not fashion related, but it's still on my list
who cares that i live in the midwest and would only be able to ride it three months a year
ok, so the list is short, but i hope it's given you some inspiration!
happy holidays
