Ohhh I just love this time of year! The weather is crisp, the egg nog starts flowing, and all of my favorite shops start to glitter with items to add to my wishlist. Despite the fact that life has been insanely busy lately, I cannot deny that I’ve made some time to write to Santa and let him know there are more than a few things I’m hoping will turn up under my tree this year…
I‘ve been doing my best to try to get a jump on holiday shopping this year – I admit other things have been taking priority, but finding that perfect gift for someone is always try favorite part of Christmas. And to add a bit of extra sparkle, the fact that we don’t have to ship those perfect gifts halfway around the world is a huge bonus.
Although I try to focus solely on gifts for my loved ones, there are a few things I’ve spied that would look perfect in my wardrobe (eh hem), should Santa be so inclined….
To Deck the Halls
For the past several years, we’ve had a fake Christmas tree (which has worked for our lives on multiple levels). But, that doesn’t mean I don’t miss the smell of the real thing….
I love unique tights – how perfect would these be for the holidays??
And a bit of extra bling never goes amiss at Christmas…
And you simply can’t have the holidays without topping it off with still more glitter… Loving this Chocolate Gold eyeshadow palette…
For a White Christmas
Starting the hunt for the perfect Christmas dress. This one would fit the bill nicely…
A bit out of my budget – but I’ve had my eye on this AMAZING novelty skirt forever.
Something about Christmas has me swooning over all of the green dresses…
Loving the Janie Bryant for Unique Vintage line – especially this metallic polka dot number (plus 25% off with code YAY25)
It doesn’t matter how many yellow dresses I own, I will always want one more…
Gingham and cherries?? YES PLEASE!
Everything about this skirt makes me swoon. Oh please Santa….I’ve been REALLY good this year…
To Tim the Tree
Actually dying over this bag. Truly.
All of the winter shoe styles are coming en masse – I just love these heeled brogues from B.A.I.T.
Mustard is my neutral… Love these circle bags.
Can you think of anything more autumnal than a vintage celluloid falling leaves necklace?
Doesn’t matter if it’s Easter or Christmas, I want a rabbit purse year round!
Make a belt red and make it sparkly and I am ALL IN.
I love Midas of Miami purses…the details are always amazing.
Despite the fact that there is always stress around the holidays, I can’t help but feel excited. Excited to be done with teaching for the semester. Excited to decorate our tree and start to pile the presents underneath. Excited to have my mom come down and get to share in her first southern Christmas.
So, I guess if I’m going to avoid the stress of the holidays I should probably start shopping for other people and stop drooling over all of the things I want for myself. But I can’t be blamed when all of my favorite vintage shops are posting things that are too cute for words!
Ahhh I love the holidays. I can already hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling, too….
What are you wishing for this year??
