Neon Rattail

I like to fantasy shop more than I like to actually shop. Well, maybe "more" is too strong of a word. I do enjoy a real life stroll through my neighborhood mall quite a bit, but the feeling of online window shopping also has a special place in my heart (right next to inventive condiments and paying for things in exact change). It's much more freeing to fantasize about what I could buy instead of actually buying it because once I do the thrill is gone, and so is my money. In a perfect Christmas movie world, here are the delightful wonders I'd love to unwrap this year, or anytime really, in case you're reading this in the future and just simply have to shower me with gifts or something.

My Christmas Wish List

1. Scrunchy Knee Socks: I refuse to have cold knees! Plus, scrunchy top looks perfect with boots.

2. Books {We Killed: The Rise of Women in American Comedy by Yael Kohen, Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris and Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home by Jeni Britton Bauer}: I'm trying not to buy books since I have so many to read, but these ones keep catching my eye. I can't believe I haven't read the latest Sedaris book yet! Ridiculous.

3. Charley Harper Glass Set: Love Charley Harper's art, need to drink things. No brainer.

4. Phrenology Head Container: I've always wanted a vintage phrenology head, but this one holds candy!

5. Ouija Board T-Shirt: Ever since Erin rocked one of these, I've been obsessed!

6. Real Techniques Expert Face Brush: Only hear great things about this brush so now I'm curious.

7. Mint Green Purse with Gold Studs: Beautiful and I can stuff all my junk inside it. (pervert)

8. Cath Kidston Button Set: I love the aesthetic of this brand!

9. Striped Bow Headband: Always need headbands and headscarves. Stripes + bows make it better.

10. DVDs {30 Rock, Breaking Bad and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia}: I have an obsessive need for completion when it comes to owning TV shows on DVD. For the record I still need seasons 3 and above of 30 Rock and Breaking Bad, and Always Sunny season 8.

11. Zebra Print Scarf: There are tiny zebras all over this scarf. No further explanation needed.

12. Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl: I REALLY want to try these pencils and Alle on xoVain raves about this shade constantly.

13. Salted Caramel Yankee Candle: I need better quality candles and this scent sounds wonderful.

14. Twin Peaks 'Diane' Broach: Genius. I love the look and cleverness of this pin.

15. Kitschy Deer Hair Comb: Adorable and pretty weird, which is my mantra.

16. OCC Lip Tar in Stalker: Kind of obsessed with red lips, but whatevahhh.

17. Grilled Cheese Fabric: Just think of the magical things that could be sewn from this fabric. Grilled cheese pantsuit coming through!

18. Benefit They're Real! Mascara: Amazing. Ruined me for all other mascaras, but so spendy.

19. Charlie Kelly Spaghetti Watercolor Portrait: It's hard to read, but the caption says "What is your spaghetti policy here?" and he's eating spaghetti out of a Ziplock bag. Art is important.

And now that I feel sufficiently like a spoiled brat/consummate consumer, I must ask: what's on your wish list? What awesome stuff are you gifting to other people?

STYLE: Spring Wish List

The weather has been so weird here lately - sunny and eighty degrees one day and then GRAY AND GLOOMY for five days straight. Either way, my mind has been set to a permanent 72 degrees and sunny because it's SPRING and I love nothing more than to ditch coats and warm weather accessories and live in skirts and sandals and sunglasses and everything else sunny and bright. Since I made a fall fashion wish list, it seemed only appropriate to do the same for spring:

clockwise from top left: peach pleated skirt, flutter sleeve dress, chevron stripe skirt, Blowfish Gypsey Flatforms, green suspenders, mint green jeans, Dorothy Perkins stone ring, ASOS floral handbag, polka dot hair wrap, Tolani silk shawl, sunglasses, clogs, peter pan collar necklace, polka dot skirt, blue belt

I am on the hunt for an amazing pair of wedge sandals (and am having pretty much daily worship visits to the Blowfish website to ogle those cork flatforms), skirts galore (chevron stripes a plus), cute, easy scarves/headwraps, the PERFECT pair of clogs (still hunting) and pretty much anything else that is non-wintery. I'm also really digging the shorter-in-the-front skirt look as well as pastel everything. Man, new seasons always make me want to shop like crazy!

What's your spring fashion must have?

Michelle
