It's only November 17th, but New York already feels like Christmas is here. There's even LED snowflakes hanging from the elevated subways in my usually un-festive neighborhood! I'm so excited to actually be living here for the holiday season. The first time I ever visited New York was just a few days before Christmas at age 14, so this time of year here has always felt magical. As a girl who's been devoted to watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade every. single. year. since I can remember, walking past Herald Square the other day and seeing them prep for the performances was a little bit magical too. If only the Rockettes had been there too...sigh.
Anyway, since I'm very much in the holiday spirit, and all I can think about is going home for Thanksgiving next week, I thought I'd share my holiday wishlist. I tend to just buy myself the things that I want, and ask for more practical gifts for Christmas that I hate spending money on (an arsenal of black tights & leggings, my favorite shampoo, art supplies like Micron pens and quality scissors, etc.). But here are some of my top choices of things I have had my eye on. Links below!
1. Plaid Coat // my coat collection continues to grow with my move up north, and I would love to add this checked number to my collection! | 2. Signet Ring // you can find these all over Etsy and many sites with a quick google search, they're classic and old school, and I've always loved chunky rings | 3. Reformation Blouse // one of my fave stores to lust after, all of their tops are to die for, I'd take this one in all three colors and prints it comes in! | 4. Staud Bucket Bag // I've wanted this for a few months, but practical purchases like rent and salad always come first... | 5. Faux Mink Stole // j'adore scarves, and this one would be so fun with a camel coat | 6. Snakeskin Chelsea Boots // I saw a girl wearing these the other day and haven't stopped thinking about them! These ones are pretty affordable too! | 7. Aesop anything // One of my obsessions is beautiful bath goods, lotions, serums, body wash, any tiny luxury, and Aesop has some great gift sets out for the holidays! | 8. Beret // I may or may not already have one on order... | 9. Sparkly socks // Madewell has many adorable socks this season, I've been loving them with sneaks, loafers, or especially showing them off with a pair of low block heels, cute!
