Cartier

if dreamers can dream, this is what i would dream up for a graduation gift...

cartier 18k love bracelet

though the photo is of the version with the alternating diamonds, i would much rather have the solid gold one. oh, if only.

there is also a Chloe bag that i find to be rather beautiful, but i think this is more fitting.

however, i would be just fine with my rent being paid. 

first things first, i guess.

until then, the dream lives on.

Domino's Book of Decorating

another book i had in my hands and failed to leave the store with...

Domino's The Book of Decorating

i don't just want. i need.

Caravaggio's Lost Painting

i saw this today and i am a little mad at myself for opting to wait on it.

its jonathan harr's book, the lost painting, chronicling the search for a lost Caravaggio called the taking of christ...

oh Caravaggio, the things you do to me.

Hugh Grant

i'm watching Bridget Jones with Bana and, well...

Hugh Grant, why are you so hot?

Sperry Top-Siders

when i got dressed this morning, i realized how much better my outfit would have been with these...

Sperry Top-Sider women's authentic original metallic boat shoe

i've been coveting them for some time now and believe they will be my "shoe to sport" in the spring. or all year long. because i love them...that much. they are so much more exciting than the vans i had picked out a while ago. (even though, i still wouldn't mind having a pair in white).

i also enjoy how when you go to the opening page of Sperry's website, you are greeted with A PASSION FOR THE SEA in large, obnoxious lettering and how there is a category in women's shoes called, "nautical casuals."

i'm such a yup today. if only you could see what i'm wearing. 

oh, and i usually take a 7.5 just in case you're wondering.

Anthropologie

rectangle mantadia pillow

please?

Monograming & Initialing

as i was online shopping at anthropologie for my boss yesterday, i came across these items that reminded me of my secret (yet selective) adoration for personalized objects and trinkets...

monogrammed folder files

scriptorium paperweights

initial pocket mirror

Coffee Table

i randomly found this on google. it is a coffee table shaped like a paper plane. i kind of want it for my currently non-existent/future apt. thoughts? allison? 

death by life

why is it that all of a sudden, i feel like my life is trying to attack me and kill me from 20 different angles? someone just shoot me in the foot, please.

or least just hose me down with one of these...

this came up when i searched "squirt gun" in google. remember when these babies were the thing to have in the summer? take me back to the days of super soakers. preferably the ones with the "extra ammo backpack." 

times were much simpler then. 

Lost

name: ejd

last possible whereabouts: in the boondocks of wisconsin

if found, please return to: me

thank you.

Louis Vuitton

shoot me in the foot for saying it, but I'm not much of a Louis Vuitton fan.

I almost think of it as the "big name label" for people who know nothing about fashion.

(I also think it is quite unfair that Marc Jacobs is the head of the brand as well as having his own - domination of both the french and american markets? hello? can we say fashion monopoly? (but did you also hear the nasty rumor that the Marc brand is going bankrupt? whatttt???))

however, I have been caught debating with myself about "if I ever were to own Vuitton, what would be the bag?" *

and I think I finally decided on...

the monogram palermo pm

although, I would be accepting of the damier canvas speedy 30 if it were given to me.

and, in terms of luggage, I don't think I could ever say no to the monogram keepall 60 with the shoulder strap...

*obviously, I give a nod to the seasonal bags when a good bunch comes out.

Fur

I don't care if PETA decides to stalk me after this post,

but I just thought I should mention (since it is getting colder)

how much I love fur.

Especially lynx fur.

I found this beauty on Ebay tonight and I cry on the inside because I lack the $cash moneyz$ to drop on this baby.

And I'm really into the fur vest thing lately too.

I also enjoy stoles, scarves and coats with big fur collars.

Oooo and hats!

Maybe when I'm 70 and don fabulous white hair will I rock the full length coat, 

but right now I am the more simple fur girl.

Poop.

Knowing that I cannot have this in my wardrobe makes me very sad just looking at it.

However, there is a lynx stole I found at a boutique out in Brooklyn that is in my price range.

Birthday present? Oh boy, do I hope so.

Padres

Last night, I went to the Padre game with Ellen and new friend, Shadi, and three things I have always wanted to have happen/witness occurred:

1. Seeing three shirtless guys leap over the left field wall and run across the field. (One actually slid into home plate, the crowd went nuts.)

2. Making it onto the jumbo tron. 

3. (ALMOST) catching the ball. 

I love baseball games and even though we lost to the Brewers last night, I believed it to be a perfect Tuesday evening.
