Christmas Wish List Item #3

The third item I'm mentioning that's on my wish list is the Marc by Marc Jacobs Q Hillier handbag in navy blue.

The purse that I normally carry is either a light blue or dark purple Longchamp. I like these bags because they have enough room to hold practically anything and they are easy to clean... This comes in handy when you are a klutz and spill everything. Anyways, when I decided that I should get a "grown-up" leather bag I wanted one that was good quality and big enough to carry everything that I'm used to putting in my bag.

Of course I looked online at the new purses from Marc by Marc Jacobs, seeing as he's my favourite. At first I looked at the Classic Q Groovee purse and I really liked the shape of it but when I saw it in person I realized it was definitely not big enough. Then I looked at the Classic Q Hillier Hobo. I really liked having the option between a long strap and the short strap. Also, since it's a hobo bag it has a lot of room inside.
After much debate, I've come to the conclusion that this is the bag meant for me. The only problem is the price... It's $398 which would make a significant dent in my bank account. You're probably thinking, "If it's on her Christmas list, won't she get it as a gift?" I told my parents they weren't aloud to buy it for me. I want to be able to say I bought first "big girl bag" without anyone's hep. Of course I'm kind of wishing that some magical Santa will bring one and put it under my tree for me... I can dream right?

Christmas Wish List Item #2

I'm going to start off my mentioning that I hate feet. If I am near feet I will cringe. It's nothing personal to whoever's feet they are, it's not a personal space issue, it's strictly the fact that I think feet are repulsive. This does not apply to just other people's feet, I also find my own feet gross.

This brings me to my main point!! When I find a pair of shoes that make my feet look "nice" (if that's possible) I tend to have an obsession. So, when I was in bloomingdales I tried on a pair of Tory Burch flats. They were the black Reva quilted flats. LET ME TELL YOU, I FELL IN LOVE. These shoes make your feet look small and cute and gorgeous. I know this sounds really weird but I am officially obsessed...
Now you're probably wondering why I didn't just buy them. Well I honestly don't need another pair of flats and these shoes were $235. I knew that if I bought them I would feel guilty whenever I wore them. Also, where I live I have to wear Uggs for almost all of the winter so I wouldn't have the chance to wear them a lot.

It's no surprise that these shoes made it on my Christmas list. Whether I get them as a gift or not I'll be fine. I'm sure in a month I'll set my eyes on another pair of stunning shoes and I won't even remember these flats. Stay posted though and I will let you know!

New iPod Nano

This post is sort of a question for anyone reading this. I was wondering what everyone was thinking of the new iPod nano. I bought it as a gift and I'm not sure if I'm a fan. It's VERY small, (at least in my opinion) and when I saw it in the apple store I thought it was the shuffle. The nano is a completely touch screen and it has a clip which is convenient for exercising.

I know some people like how small it is but here's my dilemma. The person I was buying the iPod for doesn't have a huge library of music but they wanted an iPod to have to plug into their stereo system wired through their home. I got the 8GB which has the smallest room available and it's also the cheapest. When I was buying it though I was worried that this person might not like the touch element of it. The only other "non-touch" option that worked with the stereo system was the iPod classic which jumps a lot more in terms of price and space.

There's my rant! Let me know what your thoughts are!
