american eagle, $34.50
it's december...
and that means it's officially holiday movie time!
for starters, i could watch 'love actually' over and over again and never get tired of it. same with the others to the right.
what movies could you not live without this season? take a look at the slideshow in the sidebar and remind me of any i may have forgotten!
vintage aqua dining chair.

sweetheart bracelets.
you date a boy named joe and the closest you can come in a sweetheart bracelet is joel? i haven't even crushed on a joel since seventh grade.
i'd settle for a bruce or rick though.

christian louboutin iowa mary-janes.
i have very few goals in life, aside from the norm:
... become super-successful and super-thin by 10-year high school reunion (which i won't attend, but it's the principle of the matter)
... travel anywhere and everywhere on a whim (this is really part of the first bit)
... stop biting my nails (also pretty much included in the first bit)
outside of those few things, which are very far in the future (ok, really only four years away), there are some more immediate goals. those include:
... buying a fabulous pair of shoes. i've yet to slip on my first pair of jimmy choos or manolos, but i think i've chosen to save myself for louboutin (see above)
... finding a hair cut i am actually not completely ambivalent about
... getting published somewhere, even if i just blab about bags or office supplies
net-a-porter, $595
requiem banded jersey skirt.
wow... i'd probably kill for this skirt.
ron herman, $1,205
p.s. in true greedy girl fashion, i've had quite the time coming up with gift ideas for others. but, i do promise to roll out (or start rolling out) the gift guide in the next day or two.
dwr airstream.
something about just quitting your job and driving around the continent in an airstream sounds very appealing. i think winning the lottery is a prerequisite to that though? it definitely takes something.
airstream, $49,000
trapeze necklace.
also quite fun but out of stock...
tatty devine boutique, £42
p.s. greedy girl gift guide to come on thursday, just in time for black friday.

attention gals with little boys (or boyfriends or husbands... let's be honest): earn bonus points for this ultra-rad dinosaur necklace.
as the site says, it really is t-rex-tastic.

'desserts for the sweet tooth' by jill o'connor
i do not know what is going on here but i do know i want every bit of it in my mouth.
i have been on this insane dessert kick lately. cookies, cake, cupcake, pie. i want something different every day.
i'm not so much good with cooking, but i do like to bake. i really need to expand on that though, so i could definitely use some new dessert-oriented cookbooks.

pencils with swarovski crystals.
kind of fun! a good stocking stuffer. (gift guide still to come.)

marc by marc jacobs wide metallic strap watch.
there's a poll to the right, people! a poll! vote!
according to my 5 votes (that's 3 people, as 2 votes were mine), you'd like to see more accessories & homey stuff. so i'll try to do better with that.
and, really, vote. just so i know someone's reading!

this will serve as inspiration for my holiday dress endeavor. it is so, so perfect.
bluefly, $232
freddy&ma bowler in bronze leather.
also, don't forget you can design your own!
AND ... you might consider a gift card for the upcoming holidays.
just a thought.
i've been following this brother and sister duo since the beginning, and i am amazed with (though not surprised by) the success they're having (celebrities everywhere!)
freddy&ma, $195
necklaces & cuffs.
i want all of these on me all at one time right now. (plus the birdcage earrings.)
ah. i feel so one with nature.
clockwise from top left:
four-sided skinny cuff by aquabeet jewelry, $105 AUD; pine cone charm necklace by esdesigns, $24 AUD; alphabet cuff, also by aquabeet, $53 AUD; aspen leaf necklace, $49 AUD.
swan straight mini tote.
i came across these on etsy today and thought they were fantastic. custom orders take three weeks to make, so you better start thinking fast for gifting purposes.
speaking of gifting, i'll be putting out a gift guide of sorts in the very near future. don't expect much, but i'm saying it's coming.
etsy, $90
winter cardigan.
remember esprit? yeahhh you do. well, they're back (though i don't think they've ever been gone) and the prices apparently have risen with inflation.
but unfortunately, during a quick visit to the site, this was about the only thing i liked (unlike 1994, when i pretty much couldn't live without that red and white label).
esprit, $89.50
ostrich feather fringe + sequins.
i'm thinking sequins & feathers are the way to go this new year's. and for whatever reason, i've decided i will create such a dress.
i've got a dress (far right, gray wool) that's been sitting on my table, all cut out and ready to go, for a month, but as soon as i finish that up, it is go time.
ostrich feather fringe peeking out at the bottom (also big on petticoats right now) and some pretty matte sequins.
oooh la lovely.
by the way, the look i'm going for is more monique lhuillier than, say, vegas showgirl (not that, in another life, i wouldn't kill to be a showgirl).
fringe from macculloch & wallis for £31.65 a meter (i am so european), and vintage flat sequins from kit kraft (awesome craft site, by the way) for $2.50 a pack (about 1,000 sequins).
