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!
I just bought the elephant necklace this past Friday and have already worn it twice! Possibly three times after today...
Love 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! :)
So jealous of your trip!! Have a wonderful time!
Love glitter nail polishes and LOVE those gold knotted studs!
Yes 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.
Wow, 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!
