Shopping

wedge boots

I bought myself these awesome Deena & Ozzy lace up wedge boots a few weeks ago and I absolutely adore them. They are so frikkin comfortable, I sprinted to the subway in them and my feet never hurt once.

I have a tendency to get obsessive about things and it seems right now it’s wedge boots and I want them in every color and style. I’m debating getting these:

and these:

What do you think? Too  much?

early christmas

I got the best Christmas gift ever from my brother today. He is seriously the most thoughtful and generous person I know.

I just love that it’s engraved too. I am gonna love it forever and ever. Well, until the newer model comes out at least. : )

I was about as excited as this kid was and ran around my apartment holding the box over my head yelling, “I GOT AN IPAD!!! OH MY GOD!!!”

I still have no idea how to use it though and I’m just banging on the screen like a caveman.

black bear jumpsuit

I’m not sure where my love for onesies began but I am just obsessed with them. With the temperature in the unbearable 20′s today I would love to crawl into this jumpsuit and never come out.

I’m sure only this model could pull off this look without being mistaken for a saggy butt black bear ready for bedtime. I don’t care. I still want it.

Wishlist

I wanted to make a Gift Guide this year but I’m a little pressed for time and, who am I kidding really, every time I go shopping for someone else I return with bags full of stuff for myself.

My brother asks my every year what I want for Christmas and I realized I spend all my money on clothes and books (and booze). But I’m such a shopaholic that if I’ve asked for it, I most likely bought it a day later.

Nevertheless, I decided to make a Wishlist…and maybe if you have a friend or bratty sister who loves fluffy animals and regresses in maturity with each year she lives…well maybe there would be something on this list that you could buy for her…

BOOKS:

I buy books often and I collect them for my future library but the one thing I rarely buy for myself are gift books. It’s just not the same when you buy them for yourself.

I Hate Everything

PAJAMAS:

Who doesn’t love comfy PJ’s? Who actually spends money on it though? No one- unless it’s a gift. I’m not sure why but I have an obsession with Christmas Story style onesie longjohn pajamas. If you love being warm and being the walking epitome of unsexy- these are the pj’s for you!

These are a bit more functional while still getting the 5 year old boy look…

L.L. Bean also has a pair for “all day comfort!” It says. (I know, what was I doing shopping the L.L. Bean catalog right? I knew they’d have a thermal onesie).

OTHER CRAP I DON’T NEED:

I am a sucker for all things colorful and unnecessary and Pylones is an awesome store to spend money you don’t have on things you don’t need.

I have been looking for a USB hub and was holding out on buying one until I found a cute and overpriced one. Um, FOUND IT!

I also really love globes and maps. I imagine having a bunch in different sizes and styles in my library. How awesome is this globe of NYC?

And speaking of maps, I think this scratch off map is such a great idea. You can scratch off the countries you’ve visited, like a lotto ticket, and keep track of where you’ve been.

Ok maybe it’s a good thing I don’t have a bigger apartment because I may just spend all my money covering it in maps. But if I did have a place of my own, I would love this silk screened map above my couch.

Happy shopping!

beards and glasses

What do I love more than Etsy and prints?

Beards and glasses of course…
