last minute wishful thinking

A conjured list of potential last minute gifts and things I desperately want/need.

1. Antique mirror $22 - Been craving a fancy tray for my perfume bottles and loose rings, preferably a mirrored tray.


2. Kiehl's Face Cream $46 - Tried this face cream from my mom's medicine cabinet when I ran out of mine and fell in love. This is a product any girl would love.


3. EOS lip balm $3 - I'm definitely the type who will buy a million lip products but use it once then toss it into a drawer somewhere. My friend introduced me to the EOS lip sphere, and the cute packaging forced me to love it and use it religiously every time my lips feel parched... and it works sooo well!


4. Proenza Schouler wallet $145 - Too bad these beaded wonders are sold out, such an affordable price for its namesake.


5. Diptyque Baise Candle $60 - Candles are kinda the perfect gift and after smelling every single Diptyque candle, I've been completely hooked on these parisian goodies. A little steep in price but worth it for the apothecary savvy.


6. CB2 chair $120 - Been needing a new chair for a while and love the simple clean lines of this one. It's also cheaper than the PS wallet!


7. Yohji Yamamoto ring $225 - Quirky antique silver ring? Yes please.


8. Deborah Lippmann (Waking Up in Vegas) $16 - Lady GaGa wore this perfect cement gray on the cover of Vanity Fair. Now I kind of want it... along with every Deborah Lippmann nailpolish.


9. Alexander McQueen keychain $193 - Because having this amazing tassel on my car-keys would literally crank up my driving-enjoyment a notch - a worthy investment considering I would be a much safer driver.


10. Loeffler Randall shoes $375 - I'm always on the lookout for the perfect pair of flats but they're either too masculine or a dime-a-dozen. I tried these on at Barneys and fell in loveeeee. Die for the mesh detail on them... sigh... one day...


11. Linus bike $410 - My dream bike. I've always wanted a sporty bike mixed with that effortless Parisian look. I guess I can skimp on the perfect oxfords in turn for a bike...


12. Le Petit Petit shirt $55 - I have a handful of these tees for myself because they are the ultimate t-shirt. The silhouette is cut to perfection hence perfect to lounge, run errands, and even dress up in. If I can have 10 more of these shirts all lined up in my closet so I have a clean one every day and night of the week, I'd be a happy girl.


13. Eugenia Kim headband $55 - Besides being a lover of gold, I love both the thick and renaissance feel of this headband. Almost bought this on several occasions but held back because "I shouldn't be spending money on unnecessary items"-- if this is still available after Christmas (cross my fingers), I'm buying it for myself.


14. Norma Kamali sunglasses $225 - Taylor Tomasi wears these sunglasses religiously which inevitably made me fall for cat-eyed sunglass frames. I finally found out who designed them through Citizen Couture, so aside from multiple things here on my wishlist that I plan on buying for myself, this is another one. The buy-before-you-try is also extra enticing.
