A Wee Birthday Wishlist

I turn 29 for, oh, the 5th time next week, and so – in the spirit of a giddy 4th grader – I thought I’d round up a list of just a *few* little things I’ve been drooling over… just in case Santa or the Easter Bunny or my Fairy Godmother is listening. Can you tell I’m gearing up for warmer weather??

1 – Auntie Oti Color Napkin Set: equally as gorgeous as they are über relaxed and effortless.  Perfect for dining al fresco.

2 – Illesteva Milan Round Sunglasses: updated 90’s cool.  I’ll take it.

3 – Boys and Arrows & L*Space Suits from Pink & Navy Boutique:  The owner of this Anna Maria Island shop, Janae, has the best eye of anyone I’ve ever encountered.  We foam at the mouth over everything in her store.  Follow them on Instagram, and call (941) 567-4000 to order when you see something you can’t live without.

4 – Lemon Tree: All I ever wanted was one of these in my backyard.

5 – Marc by Marc Jacobs Softie Saddle Large Hobo: I died and went to heaven when I saw this last weekend at Nordstrom.  I might have to break down and buy it for myself as a Breakup / Big Life Change / Happy Birthday to Me present. #whoops

6 – Erie Basin Antique Ring: This is already sold, but a girl can (pipe) dream.

7 – John Robshaw Jammu Bolster Pillow: Karrie and I saw this while we were taking a spin around heaven – I mean, Bixby & Ball, last month… I swear, it was smiling down at me from its perch atop a dreamy shelf full of pillows.  And that grapefruit + golden olive color combo is completely unexpected and completely delightful.

Happy Shopping, kids!  Just kidding…

…not really, Mom & Dad.

Pretty in Peach

We know it’s Valentine’s Day… which is precisely why we’d like to offer a quick respite from all the saccharin for you singletons out there:  how about a little less pink, red & puppy love, and a little more dreamsicle-colored eye candy?  Eh?

I should also throw my favorite orange jumpsuit in the mix…  probably my all-time favorite rental.  It’ll come in real handy next time I get thrown in the slammer.

While we’re talking about favorite things, this is my favorite new jam:

My favorite dreamsicle-colored dog… never complete without at least one eye booger – bless his heart:

My favorite peachy cocktail of choice – especially in the presence of my fairy godmothers:

Whether you’re celebrating with someone you love today, lost someone you love, or are hoping to find someone you love someday – there’s always truth and comfort in the words below…  it’s why we post them every year.  Bonus points if you read them in a British accent:

“It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion you’ll find that… love actually is all around.”
