Bag Crush...or Whatever

We've hit November and during this time, I start "contemplating" on what I want for Christmas. A new purse is ALWAYS a part of my wishlist so while taking a break from looking for jobs online, I searched for satchels on Nordstrom.com. I kept on clicking the ones I like and noticed that I was clicking on a lot of items from MARC by MARC JACOBS collection. I chose my favorites, clipped them to my Polyvore items and put this set together. I love staring at it, and honestly, if I were to choose, I would pick the bottom left.

But then I found leather bags from Topshop and another set was born. They're very minimalist (I think?) but they are not too plain. The leather they used makes up for the lack of  (for lack of a better term) "major" details. The bottom middle and the bottom ones are my super favorites.

I also made a set for my other finds. I'll be honest though, two of the brands below are super new to me - Liebeskind (I need help pronouncing it, so help please?) and Elliot Lucca. I know I say I love fashion but I'm not THAT into it to know all of the brands in the world.

In case you think I'm too into Christmas already and Thanksgiving hasn't even passed yet - I didn't grow up celebrating Thanksgiving because I did not grow up here in the US. Oh and Christmas really is a huge thing for me and Ron. It's our most favorite holiday and it's right after our anniversaries (BF/GF and wedding). Wait, did I really have to explain myself? LOL

Alright, gotta go and set up our Christmas tree. Yes, I just said Christmas tree. Then we'll take pictures and send holiday cards. :)

Happy weekend!

Birthday Wishlist 2013

I am not one who wants super expensive things on my birthday. At least not anymore. Like I told Ron, I've been wanting a pet for so long so having Fox was already like an early birthday present. I'd honestly rather do my favorite thing, sleep in, make breakfast, sit on the couch all day while folding clean clothes and laughing at Fox's face while he tilts his head trying to understand what I'm doing and usually telling him. But then again, presents are like the little bonuses in life. It's like that second cup of coffee that gives you another boost and makes your day better. LOL So this is it, my wishlist...

Surprised I did not include any dresses and purses? Yeah, me too. ;) I guess I just get a lot of those things throughout the year so I don't really wish for them anymore. Haha!

My Weird Wishlist [WILW]

They're not really that weird but I know everyone asks for super fancy stuff over ones that are you know, stuff that we don't necessarily need but can make our lives better.  Or stuff that we always skip to buy because they are not that important like the last in this list ;)

Because the one I have is rotting...or just REALLY dirty. LOL

This Shoe Cabinet. Because Ron and I have too many shoes.

Because my current accessory holder is not enough to hold everything...anymore.

Because sometimes, I really need Ron to help me cut some vegetables.

via

More Socks. Because they keep on divorcing each other.

Because all of us need it. It's a grocery bag holder by the way.
