I’ve been counting down the three weeks until our winter
break at school begins. We’re done on
December 16th, and I have THREE WEEKS OFF following that. Like I said, I adore this school
schedule. D and I decided to do a quick
little trip this year sort of as our Christmas present to each other. We’re doing an all-inclusive in the Bahamas
for four nights. I’m beyond
excited. Since D and I are vacationing,
we figured we would go smaller on the gift front and do stockings with a smaller
monetary limit. Here are a few of my
Christmas cravings
Fun nail polish
Nail polishes are the perfect stocking stuffers! I loving matte polishes this season or any of Essie's winter collection.
Leg warmers
[American Apparel, $18]
Olivia mentioned AA when I posted about my want for over-the-knee socks. I think these are amazingly perfect. Pair with some thin socks and keep your feet extra warm in winter boots.
Earrings
No, not diamonds for me. I lost my favorite black "diamond" studs before we left Athens. My "pearls" finally looked so awful I could no longer wear them. The current cubic zirconias are on their last legs as well. It's beyond time for a couple new pairs...
[18K Gold Plated Woven Studs, $19]
Elephant necklace
[J Crew, $24; on sale for $14]
I fell in love with this necklace quite a while back. There's something about a cute critter on a necklace that I love.
Garmin footpod
[Amazon, on sale $36]
I'm pretty sick of using my unreliable Nike+ for running. With the cooler weather coming in, I'm doing a lot more running on the treadmill. I'd love to finally have a footpod to sync my Garmin on the TM.
[AE Rainbow Loop scarf, $24.50]
Until I can crochet awesome pieces like these, I can always use more ways to keep warm!
I could go on forever, but I keep the rest on my Amazon
wishlist...where I also keep my pricier wants :)
love that headband from j crew--i've been wanting one like that for awhile now, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI just bought the elephant necklace this past Friday and have already worn it twice! Possibly three times after today...
ReplyDeleteLove those leg warmers. I got a couple of pairs and they are the best.

Those nail polish colors are pretty...I don't see a lot of glitters from Essie. They must be new. And my sister is getting that elephant necklace for Christmas. It's perfect for Alabama! :)
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of your trip!! Have a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteLove glitter nail polishes and LOVE those gold knotted studs!
ReplyDeleteYes to everything... especially the three weeks off. We get the same. Do you have a furlough week or do you usually have the 3? Either way... I am READY!I like your idea of going on a little trip and getting small gifts! I think getting only socks for Christmas and then going on a trip sounds like a great trade off.
ReplyDeleteWow, great list. I think I want pretty much everything you listed now :) I have been loving all the glittery nail polish I've been seeing around. So fun!
