Wednesday Wants

alphabet rings
(been in love with these for quite sometime. i need a "c" please. my finger is a 6.5 hehe) 

Today's Wednesday Wants is dedicated to some items on my "wish list". Who knows if I'll even get any of these items but a girl can wish, right? ::sigh:: 

deer cookie jar
(for the cookies i never eat) 

initial stamped necklace
(i've been wanting one of these f.o.r.e.v.e.r. I want a little "c" for my little c) 

what will you do today notebooks
(love. love. love.)

Weekender Tote
(I wish I didn't love designer bags. I really do. I'm OBSESSED with this bag right now.
It'd be perfect to carry on the plane for our trip back east)  



infinity scarf
(oh the outfits that this scarf would complete. this scarf is super yummy!)

holiday gift guide: for the bff/sister that got a bad perm because you did


leopard infinity scarf
(to add some "flare" to their wardrobe) 
wine scented candles
(what's better than a bottle of wine? a candle that smells like your favorite wine!)
chevron frame
(to frame those new memories) 
jeweled headband
(to help add a little "sparkle" to their strands) 
best friend beanies
(just in case you both need to cover up a bad hair style choice) 
arrow necklace
(cause every bff/sister needs something pretty for their neck) 

cute printed cosmetic bag
(one can never have too many bags to put things in)

about the title: in the early 90s I got a perm for a wedding I was going to be in. it was the year my hair went poker straight and wouldn't curl for the life of it. strange since I have naturally wavy hair. shortly after that horrid perm my bff got one. we were just two abnormally tall fuzzy haired munchkins :)

holiday gift ideas: stocking stuffers for the dude or lady in your life

i come from a family that has a tendency to start their holiday shopping in the summertime. i have always found this really annoying until recently when i started my holiday shopping later and later and i could never find the "perfect" present for the people i was shopping for. while i still think summertime is a bit too early to start your holiday shopping, i think the earlier you start the better off you'll be. i also find that sometimes it's very easy to get "stumped" on what to get people. this is why i decided to share some of my "ideas" for holiday shopping. some of these "ideas" i either have given and they were a hit, i've liked or i've heard they were good. i hope the holiday gift series will help or inspire you!!
