A few of my favorite things….

I don’t know about you, but I always like to see what other people are wearing and eating and in general consuming.  I am too thrifty and practical, and frankly too poor, to afford much of anything on this list.  However, it is fun to window shop for the finer things in life, right?  I thought you might enjoy a glimpse into my Christmas wish list.  Come dream with me.
1.  Dinner at Buddakan in Philadelphia.  When hubby and I had no children and were making twice what we’re making now, we had the pleasure of dining at several of the STARR restaurants.  If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend you do the same!  Buddakan was my favorite of the bunch.  For your appetizer I recommend the Lobster Crepes, for your main course I recommend the New York Strip, and for dessert the Chocolate Bento Box.  Amazing. 

2.  Dark Chocolate Bordeaux by See’s Candies.  I am all about the dark chocolate and Mrs. See’s rocks.  These are my favorite.

3. Glass Apothecary Jar with Spigot by Brylane Home. You could spend up to $300 at Horchow for one of these babies, but I think you’ll soon be able to find them for a much more reasonable price.  These are a fantastic alternative to a punch bowl.  I love them.

4. Williams Sonoma Essential Oils Collection, Spiced Chestnut.  This stuff smells amazing and reminds me of chestnuts roasting on an open fire.  Not that I’ve actually ever smelled real chestnuts roasting, but I bet they smell fantastic…just like this soap/lotion combo.
5. Italian 1000 thread count sateen sheets by Restoration Hardware.  I won’t spend over $39 for my complete sheet set and I won’t settle for less than 450 thread count.  I typically do well at TJ Max or Gabriel Brothers.  I’m not sure I would ever get out of bed with this high of thread count!

6.  Drop waist belted wool coat by Victoria’s Secret. My hips are probably too big to pull off this look, but I really like the drop waist look.  And cream is one of my all-time favorite winter colors.

7. Winding Ruffle Boots by Anthropologie. I would NEVER pay this much for a pair of boots, but these make me wish I had money to throw away.  Just look at that cute little ruffle that curves around and trims the top.  I love them.

8. Peacock Gypsy Tote by Serena & Lilly. If you don’t yet subscribe to Serena & Lilly catalog, you should.  They have great design tips and gorgeous home furnishings.  They specialize in babies and kids but have recently branched off into adult home decor as well!  Lucky us, huh? The entire catalog is filled with eye candy.  This peacock bag below was made for me.  Oh, you like it too?  Too bad.  It’s mine.  The price tag, however, not so much for me.
How about you?  Do you have a great item to share?  Show me a link to something on your wish list so we can dream together!  Any food, clothes, home, chocolate items you want to introduce me to?  Please do tell!  
Linking up with Melissa’s Favorite Things Party.  Go over and take a look at what others are loving.

  1. I love See's chocolate! That one is actually my favorite! My dad got me hooked at a young age! Yum!

  3. Beth~
    I love your picks, especially the anthro boots and the cream coat! Thanks for joining up today, and your staircase looks amazing girl!

  4. I love your list. This is like window shopping! Love that coat. And the boots…I wish you hadn't stopped. You have an eye for cool things!!

  5. I did my list today too. Those sheets look scrumptious!!!!

    And those boots are adorable- and that purse? I'll have one of those too please. Great picks!

  6. Great list! Love the sheets, the Williams Sonoma soap/lotion, and those fabulous boots! We really need some new sheets at our house. Doubt I'll get the RH ones, but it's nice to dream!

  8. Mmmmmmm, I love See's candy. It's hard to pick just one. Those boots are gorgeous and I love that coat. Great list.

  10. Hello See's Candies!!!! Yum-O… makes me think of San Fran! And Anthropologie boots… exquisite! Thanks so much for your faves, love them all!

  11. Oh, wow, I think I love everything. This is so fun, reading others' favorites, I'm inspired to try new things!

  12. I loved your list! I've never smelled chestnuts roasting on an open fire either, but like you, I've always imagined that I would love the smell (kind of like those roasted nuts on the streets of nyc), so I would probably like the WS set, too. And I'm not sure if there's a Ross near you, but they always have some good, high threat count sheets for even cheaper than tj maxx & marshall's!

  14. Oh no. Now I really want some Sees Candy and I have to order it to get some. :-/ I am a big fan of their Bordeaux!! Excellent choice there. 😉

  17. i am a sees girl too! well, who wouldn't be. you know they don't sale sees in my neck of the woods. so sad. 🙁 i love walking into those stores so neat clean & the smell is a gift alone.

    honestly, i would say a favorite thing of mine, that i rarely do is to be with my close friends. they all live in diffeent cities. and it is a luxury when i do get to see them. don't get me wrong…i love new clothes, furniture, and some accessories. but i long visit with friends "in person" would be perfect.

    grainy or not, i think your photos look good. btw, how do you get them so large in your posts? i have a 3 panel/row blog…do you think that's why i can't get them as big? any thoughts???

    oh, i do love soaps. unique in smell are my fave. love the boots.

  18. I love your list, especially the jar. I will have start thinking of what things I would put on my own list of dreamy stuff. Have a great day!

  20. Fantastic items! I would love one of those jars.

    Oooohhh…I'll have to think on this one. 🙂

  22. You have amazing taste! Hopefully at least one of the fabulous items appears under your tree. You should try the raspberry creams from Sees!

  23. I want the sheets, the jacket and the purse! LOL While we ARE dreaming…can we book me a luxury vacation in a 5 Star hotel/resort somewhere warm and near a beach? 😉
