Although it's still a while until Christmas decorations seem even plausible and socially acceptable, it's always exciting to start compiling a wishlist of christmas presents early on. I'm actually a December baby with my brother, so Christmas has always been a hectic time for my parents. Because of this, they tend to ask us early on what we want for the holidays, so I've always planned ahead of time for the festivities.
I've compiled an aspirational wishlist so as to tide me over until the season begins, and this is it:
Thigh high faux suede boots in black
This is a fashion staple that I've seen all over the place recently. I was actually on instagram when I decided to create this list because of this photo that Gigi Hadid had posted after the H&M Balmain party:
The boots feel like a modern twist on the classic Pretty Woman look that Julie Roberts portrays as Vivian. I've seen suede all over the place: in runway shows, on celebrities, as skirts, pants, crop tops, etc., and I think the fabric is amazingly comfortable and chic. The only thing is that I'm against wearing fur or leather of any kind, and suede is basically leather with a different finish. This is my personal preference, but I do think that even when individuals wear real suede, it still looks fantastic.
Artwork
I still haven't gotten any real artwork for my apartment, but some pieces that I have been looking at are the Badly Drawn ones. I'm not sure who the artist for these are, but if I figure it out, I will post it here.
These are from an etsy shop called BadlyDrawnArt:
Another artist that I love is Leah Goren. She did a cover for frankie magazine, and one of her pieces I especially love is the alphabet girl one:
Lastly, for artwork, I love these simplistic film posters from etsy shop MinusculeMotion:
The shop includes a bunch of different posters including a handful of Wes Anderson films as well as cult classics like Juno, Grease, and Back To the Future.
I imagine hanging up the BadlyDrawn drawings on one wall, maybe above the couch across, and then having the film poster(s) around the entertainment center. The Leah Goren piece I can imagine placing in my bathroom or even beside my closet.
Onesie
I had a phase where all I watched was Miranda Sings youtube videos, and became a little obsessed with getting a onesie. The thing is, they're kind of really sort of expensive (some are more than $50!), and I wouldn't really be down to spend that much on myself. Christmas is a perfect time though!
I love the animal onesies that have lots of parts to them and aren't just one color.
Face Primer
I bought myself that super famous POREfessional Face Primer from Benefit Cosmetics, because so many Youtubers had promoted it and featured it in their tutorials. What I didn't realize when I got it, though, was that my pores weren't what I was most insecure about. I'm most insecure about my redness when it comes to getting coverage on my face. I want to get a new face primer: I just don't have the budget right now. I was looking into either getting the Smashbox Color Correcting Primer in green for redness or the Touche Eclat Blur primer from YSL. Both correct color while still enhancing your face's natural brightness.
Victoria's Secret bombshell bra
I know I mention Kylie Jenner a lot, but it's true: her boobs look amazing. She revealed in one of her app videos that she wears Victoria's Secret bombshell bras to create a more hourglass figure in proportion to her waist. I personally don't have a bra that really fits me that well, so I might just go out and treat myself by picking up one that actually fits my body.
Netbook
I'm not entirely sure this is still the correct name for what I'm looking for, but basically, I just want a smaller laptop that I can do some homework on and take to my boyfriends place when I'm sleeping over. Every time I go in between places, I'm carrying around my backpack, filled with my homework, makeup, extra set of clothes, and my laptop. Even my boyfriend was beginning to say it was way too heavy. It sounds like a stupid thing to complain about (trust me I know) but it'd feel so much better to just carry around a tiny little laptop. I'm in between just getting a cheap, possibly refurbished tablet with a keyboard attached or a cheap, small laptop.
Puppy
I've been searching Craigslist, Petango, and the humane society for the perfect little puppy to take home. I don't know if it's the independence of being able to get myself my own pet or possibly the motherly nature in me that wants to take care of something or (most likely) the fun possibility of having a little puppy around, but I've been begging my boyfriend to come with me to get a dog from the shelter for so long now. Ideally, I would get a dog for Christmas, but, with my budget, I don't exactly see it happening. I want a small pet, that I can carry with one hand, just because, from previous experience, it's too difficult for me to earn larger dogs respect. They'll run away from me no matter what.
As far out as some of these items are, I do hope I can get at least the onesie and bra (even if I just have to splurge on myself for them). I'll post another blog soon hopefully about Halloween!
