Christmas Wishlist


I have gathered a group of things I wouldn't mind finding under the tree this Christmas. You may notice the I am not asking for many things to wear, as I generally prefer to buy those things for myself.


Chunky Knit Marled Short Infinity Scarf - Charlotte Russe - $16.50
  • I think infinity scarves are genius, and this one seems particularly cozy.
Lungs | Florence + the Machine - Amazon - $8.98
  • If you have heard any bit of a Florence + the Machine song, you know how catchy and original they are. If you haven't, I suggest checking out Dog Days Are Over
Warm Vanilla Sugar Eau de Toilette - Bath & Body Works - $13.25 (Orig. $26.50)
  • I had a very difficult time transitioning from candy scented body sprays to perfume. I knew what I was wearing was a bit juvenile, but every perfume I tried smelled like an old woman to me. My husband bought me this scent last year, and it was just the thing. 
Matched | Ally Condie - Amazon - $10.52
Mid-Century Rocker - Urban Outfitters - $288.00
  • I have been searching high and low for a good looking rocking chair, which turns out to be quite the feat. This is on the pricey side of things, but as we already have many other baby needs taken care of (both my husband and I being the youngest in our families + have inherited so many wonderful pieces of furniture and other baby supplies), we have decided this can be our one splurge. We are planning to help pay for it with Christmas gift money from my mom (thanks again, Mom!) 
What are your Christmas must haves this year (realistic or not)? Leave your thoughts below.

Also, I wanted to share my favorite holiday song this year. It's a cover by Built for the Sea, and I can't stop humming it:

  2. You will love that rocker. It looks so cozy and wide enough to sit cross-legged at night while feeding a baby. Quite comfy.

  3. Good call on Florence and the machine. I like you even better now! My favorite is "Kiss with a Fist".

    Also that is brilliant about the rocking chair! I had a hard time finding one with my baby too so I just got one at Goodwill and recovered it with new fabric. However, the uo one looks like a better option!

  6. I absolutely love that urban outfitters rocking chair! But...I'd think again. My husband and I love UO and we had our eye on that rocking chair for sometime (we just had a baby). Well, while browsing UO one day, I saw it and was so excited, to top it off it was on sale! I sat in it hoping it would be comfy and was sorely disappointed! It sits really low to the ground, doesn't rock very much, and isn't comfy at all. Not ideal to rock a baby anyway, put perfect for looks. Apparently someone had purchased it online and returned it in the store because they didn't like it. Even the discount didn't sell me on it. Just wanted to let ya know before you go dropping that kind of cash. But luckily, you can return it in the store if you decide to buy it and don't like it. Good luck!

  12. Warm Vanilla Sugar is my absolute all time fave. Try the wall flowers from bath & body works in this scent and your whole house will smell lovely.
