all i want for christmas is…

…these things that you should absolutely not, under any circumstance, get for me.

fuchsia nappa, aspinal of london, $99

(although, if those were second-hand, or faux-leather, we could maybe talk about how much i really want pink driving gloves)

but seriously. this is kinda like oprah’s favourite things – a list of 25 things that are life-changing, but utterly unnecessary. and since none of us have more money than we know what to do with, let’s just gawk at the list, talk about how impractical but lust-worthy these things are, and then move on with our lives.

and since i don’t even actually like christmas, you can think of this as an exercise that helps me get in the holiday cheer. and you should post links to things that you want like crazy, but can’t afford/don’t have room for/are ethically opposed to…

vintage brooches from cillies in athens, ga, $8-34

this is a more reasonable price range, but i already have 10 brooches. how many fancy pins does a girl need? don’t answer that, i have enough.

so this is #25 and #24 – stay tuned, i’ll keep posting ridiculosity straight up til christmas day.
