Wish List

Last night I picked up two bottles of the 2007 Tandem Pinot Noir. I say I 'picked them up' because that is precisely what I did. I received an e-mail from my favorite San Diego sommelier about a great deal on this wine, and as you all know my weakness for a good Pinot Noir, I had to jump at the opportunity. So, as I was thinking about what a beautiful spring evening would look like with me and a few friends sipping glass-fuls of the light red substance, I also envisioned what I would be wearing.

Here is a silly little 'clipping' of what is currently on my 'clothing' wish list, and what I think would pair perfectly with a warm April evening in San Diego. Yes I did just skip right over March. Who needs it? Spring Break is the only good thing it brings.

This list consists of things I have wanted forever (the diamonds) and things I am thinking about spending my birthday money on (the converse). The diamonds are Elsa Peretti, in her most recent Diamonds by the Yard collection which she has decided to market to the poor girls who want to look rich, and now offers in silver instead of only platinum, thus decreasing the cost by a good $1100+ per necklace. What I really want to do is wear 3 of these necklaces, all at slightly different lengths. Two of the 'single' diamonds, and one of the 'by the yard' that has 5 or 6 small diamonds along the chain.

Next up we have Joe's boyfriend fit jean shorts. I have always loved jean shorts (just not on men) and am excited they are coming back!! I have also always loved anything with the word 'boyfriend' in it. I'm not sure why, it just seems comfortable and fun.

Has anyone tried these converse? They are "low" and have a thinner sole than the normal converse, thus making them more 'streamlined' (their word, not mine) and, I am thinking these would look great with jeans, shorts, or casual skirts and dresses. What say you? This is probably the most 'realistic' purchase on this list, as I can actually afford them with above mentioned birthday money.

Gap grey cardigan. Hello. I bought this cardigan in navy blue and wear it EVERY day. It's a problem. I absolutely need it in more colors, and grey is the perfect 'go with anything' spring choice! Plus, my sister works for Gap so she alerts me to any special 'family and friends' days... this is definitely on the list of must haves for my next shopping splurge.

Navy striped flowy tee from, where else, Anthropologie. I need to stop stepping into the store, or going to their online store, because every time I do I leave with a list of $2000 worth of items I could convince myself I need RIGHT. NOW. I love the stripes and where the seam changes in the middle. Flirty, fresh, fun. Just like bubble gum!

Michael Kors gold watch. Need I say more? I love gold. And I need a watch. There, I said more.
