Socially Acceptable Wish Lists

In my mind, there are two times every year you are allowed to make an unreasonably long list of things you want--no matter how insanely out of reach they may be. (Getting married and having a baby are two other socially acceptable wish list events but hopefully they don't happen every year!)

The first is Christmas/Hanukkah/whatever winter gift giving holiday you celebrate.

The second is your birthday.

I'm fairly certain that I've previously mentioned that I'm turning 30 in July. I know this because I'm quite preoccupied (read: FREAKED OUT) over the fact that my 20s are just about DONE-ZO.

What better way to assuage my (rapidly aging) soul than to make a birthday wish list? (that will be neither long or insane--pinky swear!)

1. The Nook Color

2. Me and Ro Fearlessness Necklace 16 inch

3. This necklace with the letter N and the letter T charms to go with it (for my two kiddos of course!).

I think that is about it. And I didn't even mention this baby!

Do you make a birthday wishlist every year? Or should this be left to the under 18 crowd?

Dream Handbag!

When you come right down to it, I'm a handbag girl. Don't get me wrong, I love makeup and clothes and shoes. But there is just something about purses that I'm addicted to. Even as a little girl, I had a total pocketbook obsession.

Despite all this, I've never been into high end bags. I know that I cannot afford them so why even tempt myself, right? Right.

That used to be my philosophy and it's a good one. But then I started reading The Purse Forum. One bag has stood out to me for quite some time. Then it hit me one day: this is IT! My DREAM handbag. The one I know I'll probably never own but will continue to drool over until the day I die!

Isn't she a beauty? That's the Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM in Damier Ebene. At a cool $820, it's simply not something I can justify purchasing right now. One day though....one day that baby will be MINE! (a girl can dream, right?)

Do you have a dream handbag? Or are you more of a shoe person? Tell me YOUR dream fashion item!
