making a list, and checking it twice…

It’s about that time of year that everybody gets all abuzz with budgeting and planning, making lists and checking them twice…
While I know you all look forward to this season, there is no one who looks forward to it more than me.
I mean, it is my birthday season after all.
Um, so the actual day isn’t until December 1 {mark your calendars!}, but the season starts early considering it ends on Jesus’ birthday.
I’m special, but come on.
He was born of a virgin, died on a cross, rose again and built heaven.
I can’t compete.
So, because I know you have totally been wondering…
“What the heck do I get Summer this year,”
I want you to know that I am here to help.
I’m a list making kind of a girl, so you’re in luck.

Sephora Gift Certificate
Now that I am officially into my 30’s….it’s time I get serious about skin care.
Not to mention that the Sephora employees are starting to get suspicious about my need for more samples….again.
I suppose it’s about time I buy something.
Preferably on your dime, thank you very much.

Cash
You know, cash is always great….for all those things I know I’m forgetting to add to this list.
{You’ll notice there isn’t anything lower than a twenty pictured. Just wanted you to notice.}

Blog into a book
Okay, so Mama Kat has this super sweet sister whom I adore, and awhile back she took it upon herself to turn Kat’s first year of the blog into a book. And when we met for lunch awhile back, Kathy brought it so that I could feel twinges of jealousy. And it worked. And I want it. ‘Cept I want to actually make it myself. Again, just on your dime, thank you very much.

Baby Lou Lou’s
Little did Jimmy know when he bought me my first pair last Mothers Day that he was beginning to create a monster. And when I saw these beauties, I knew that one day they would have to be mine. Anyone got an extra $800 lying around?

Rachel Zoe’s Statement Necklace from QVC
I DIED when I saw this on QVC, and then I died a little more when I saw the cost. Ya ya, I know most of you guys probably don’t think it’s expensive…but let’s just remember where I shop. Revisit some fashion posts if you forgot.

Bulletin Board Decor
I took this picture from my t.v. When I saw the fabulousness of that bulletin board, I knew it needed to be mine. I then sent the picture to Jimmy and said all I wanted was for him to make this for me.
We’ll see.

Fendi Platform Heels/Boot Combo
I saw this in my InStyle and at first I didn’t know if I loved them or hated them.
But, it’s official.
I love them.
And I’d love to have them even more.
…hint hint….
So ya, you see, not too much. I’m a simple girl….just hoping for a few of the basics.
And if this is just not enough for you to get started, just email me. We can work something out.
It’s just that I didn’t want to seem greedy.
And with that….
Let the holidays….
BEGIN!!!!
