Don’t get me wrong, I’m incredibly excited and thankful for all the goodies and blessings that this holiday season brought my way. But I’d be lying if I told you that my never-ending wish list of “next time purchases” is completely eliminated. Don’t we all have a little list in the back of our minds? Here are a few of my current crushes (some new and some old) that still have a home on my ever-evolving wish list.

This past weekend, I stopped by Anthropologie and fell in love with these cute versions of some of the Penguin Classics by Mr. Boddington. Aren’t they adorable? I can already see them nicely stacked on my bedside table…or styled on my book shelf! and I’ve been eyeing these dainty rings by Jacquie Aiche for MONTHS, but I just can’t justify the purchase. Every time I go to checkout with one in my cart , I always talk myself out of it (admittedly, I’ve done this multiple times)! Eventually, I will bite the bullet and just go for it!

And how about these Tom Binns Safety Pin? Besides the fact that they are unique and simple, what attracts me to them is their lack of a pointy back. I like to wear earrings that I can leave on for an extended amount of time and that won’t poke or stick me while I sleep. These seem like a great little investment!

Also, I’ve been wanting to add a little set of cute matches from Mackenzie’s boutique ever since she first opened up! I LOVE the pink tips – so cute! I’m looking for just the right container to hold the matches though first. I’m thinking something antique and maybe with a touch a blue china-ish look. Any requests?

Regarding the Pink Ladies print…isn’t this adorable? Maybe I stand alone here on this one, but I think it’s super cute! Plus, though, I kind of have a thing for flamingos, so maybe that explains it!
