To Me, From Me

My birthday is right around the corner (3 weeks from today, to be exact!) and I am a big believer in buying myself presents to mark the occasion. I've already begun to treat myself, but if I were to go all out, here's what I'd get.




I'll admit - it's a little ridiculous to store an iPad in a case that costs almost as much as the gadget itself. But, come on. This Prada Nylon iPad Case is fabulous. And me? Already a little ridiculous anyway.




I'm usually more of a red box (Cartier) girl than I am a blue box (Tiffany) girl, but this Elsa Peretti Eternal Circle and Open Heart pendant is perfection in my mind. It encompasses all of my favorite aspects of jewelry: gold, turquoise, and delicateness.




And speaking of jewelry, oh how I would love to house my treasures in this Leontine Linens Round Jewel Box and have it sit atop my vanity table!




Normally I love flowers in square vases, but my weekly bouquet of blooms would look so pretty in this Kate Spade Larabee Dot Rose Bowl.




I am in dire need of a new puffer coat, and I love the Patagonia Pipe Down Jacket.




I have long lusted after these Bird Cheese Markers from Beehive Kitchenware. There are few things I love more than a cheese plate, and I daydream about entertaining with these in my future home.




I've been wondering about curling rods for awhile now, but after actually using one on my hair, (see New Years Eve photo, previous post) it has transformed from a want to a need. I've put off this purchase because I'm hoping to score some Sephora gift cards to trade for the Sultra Bombshell.



One gift that I'd love but would feel silly buying (sending) myself is flowers at the office. There's nothing better and it's the one upside to working on my birthday!

  12. I meant to tell you (can't remember if I did, so I apologize if this is a duplicate), I have the bombshell and I LOVE it. Normally my hair does not hold a curl unless I use rollers. But this is amazing, leaves me with perfect curls & best of all doesn't fry hair. If you haven't bought one, go now!
