Buy me stuff...

When I was growing up, as Christmas neared, I eagerly awaited the arrival of the Sears Wish Book.  My best friend and I would sit for hours on the phone every year going “OOOOOoooo, look at page 258!”  We were weird kids, haha.  But it was fun looking at all of the items and creating a sort of dream wish list.  We never bothered asking Santa for even a quarter of what we oohhh’d and ahhh’d about, but it was fun regardless.

Now that I am older and we have this crazy thing called the internet, I do my own version of oohhhing and ahhhing.  Here are a few items from multiple stores, that I have oohhh’d and ahhh’d over recently.  This is my dream wish list, I wouldn’t use half of this stuff, nor would I ever ask anyone to buy me outrageously priced items but it’s fun to browse the websites and pretend I am actually going to put my credit card to the items in my shopping cart.

The Snowman Clock by Coalport


I loved/still love this cartoon.  This clock is right up my alley, made by Coalport, an uppity English china company (this goes back to my days of working in a fine china/antique store after high school).  I enjoy this clock.  Only 45 pounds~!




Old Navy Adoraboot - Sweater Boots


Ok these are not that big of a splurge, but I probably wouldn’t wear them, but I like them anyways.  Don’t they look super cozy? (Size 8! In Grey!)  Sale $15
 
 


 
Old Navy Quilted Frost Free Vest


I need a new vest.  I have lost weight and my two men’s vests are swimming on me.  I want one that fits and is feminine.  Sale $20.96

How cute would I be wearing this hat?  The only problem is that I have a huge skull for a woman, so I have to try it on before buying.  I always have to buy men's hats as my head is so huge.  $29.99

Joe Fresh Print Dress

http://www.joefresh.com/en/product/print-dress-1

I have lusted for this dress ever since I saw it in the store a couple of months ago.  It's beautiful.  For $39 it's a steal but I don't have anywhere to wear it.  For now, I shall place it in my imaginary closet.

 Joe Fresh Faux Fur Capelet

I am already Jillian's bitch so no need to buy me this set at $279.99, but it would actually be used!


 
Downton Abbey Season 3
 
 
Have you watched this show?  IT'S AMAZING.  Pre-order this for me and I will be a happy, happy girl!  $39.94.  Maggie Smith is amazing and dare I say her role in Downton may be my favourite role of hers, even over Harry Potter.
