Traveling in Style

I'm about to board a plane with a baby and no help for the very first time and I'm pretty sure I would feel a whole lot better about it if my luggage was this cute and stylish! I've always wanted a matched set and just haven't found the right one. That is until now. Available at Garnet Hill. I'm willing the universe to bring it to me.

Frosty the Snowman

'Tis the Season for shine and baubles and this Lulu Frost necklace definitely fits the bill. I want. With a little black dress and a glass of champagne. Available now at Gilt Groupe.

That Girl is Stacked

I LOVE these jelly bracelets made of recycled flip flops by a Fair Trade company out of South Africa. I want ten stacked up on each arm! I hope these show up in my stocking this year. They come in such pretty colors. Available at Paper Source.

Dead Pretty

He was a genius. I'd like to have this fresh/pretty/tough skull scarf in remembrance. Available on his website.

I also love the Skull Flower version available at Barney's.

Modern Vintage

This rad crossbody bag by See by Chloe looks vintage but is super modern cool with its little zipper bows. I can really see myself rocking this once my baby bagging days are over. I love this maple leather color because it goes with everything. You can pick it up at Bloomingdales.

The Palms

This Palm Frond bowl is super duper stylish. It would look very nice in the imaginary dining room I'm designing in my head. Someday I'll shop at Gumps on the regular.

Ruffle Kerfuffle

Carrying a bag this cute to a get-together with my girlfriends might just start a Kerfuffle! We'd stand around gushing about its cuteness until the Kerfuffle Police stopped us. I bet I could talk myself into buying it from Viva Terra.

The Chair Up There

If there is a heaven it probably has chairs like these. Based on the famous Barcelona chair by Mies van der Rohe from the 1929 World's Fair, these babies are made from FSC certified hardwood and upholstered in recycled coffee bags. I'm all about 'em. Available on VivaTerra.com.

She's got Moccs-y!

Boy does she ever. Wearing these too cute Pow Wow Princess Moccasins would give any girl some moxie. Made by Katie at Darlingtonia, they are available at her Etsy shop.
Check it out! Oh, and just in case...I'm a size 9.

It's a Date!

This is a charming bracelet that commemorates important dates in one's life. The only question is which date to choose...Miles' birthday? Our anniversary? Decisions, decisions. Available online.

Easy Livin'

A dress like this is easy wearing, cocktail sipping, garden party fabulous. Now that I'm staying down on the peninsula where the weather is great and people live the good life, maybe I need a dress like this.

Out of this World

This 'Rising Orbits' vest from Anthropologie would really jazz up a simple tank and jeans and add some shimmer when I need to feel shiny and new. It definitely qualifies as fancy. Available online.

I got my hair pulled back...

and my Wayfarers on Baby. I wanna be a version of Don Henley's ideal girl in 'Boys of Summer' and these glasses will help get me there. Now if I could only find a Cadillac with a Deadhead sticker... Available on Ray-Ban.com.

Better than a Steakhouse

Our beloved Honda is finally ready to retire and before she gets bitter and starts to hate her job completely, she should. This lovely 2010 Outback 2.5i Limited gets great gas mileage and is loads of safe. This makes Miles feel good about it. I hope to own one soon.

iWant

That's right, I don't have one, I want one and when Verizon gets off their tush and offers them, I'll get one.

Bubbling Over

I've loved a clear plastic bubble umbrella ever since I was a little girl. Why did they ever fall out of fashion? This one makes itself appropriate for adult use by adding the chic graphic pattern in a lovely green and aqua color combination. I'll need it for the April showers right? Available at Echo Design.

Urghs

My feets are always cold. I finally gave in and got a pair of Uggs which I thought I'd never do. Turns out I unabashedly love them. I want another pair that is slightly lighter weight for even more cozy lounging. Available at Zappos.com.

I really really wish I never heard of Gary Fisher...

This Gary Fisher Simple City cruiser has 8 speeds with a killer basket in this pretty pretty blue and white combo and would make my life so much easier when Miles gets big enough to cruise with me. Beach cruisers with no gears are awesome and stylish but SO not practical. This one is awesome AND practical. I'll take it!

My Baby*

The whole time I was pregnant I called Miles "Baby G" and now that he is here and we call him Miles I miss my Baby G. I want a replacement.
*I received this as my very first Mother's Day gift from my very, very thoughtful husband. Yay!
