Marianne: Birthday Wishlist


My birthday is right around the corner, and for once I have a wishlist a mile long. Usually my mind goes blank when my husband asks what I would like, but this year was easy. Here's what's on my wishlist, realistic or not.

First up, some new jeans. I want some super long flares that aren't too flare-y. I have pretty much set my sites on the AG Farrah:

I don't just covet EmersonMade's clothes and accessories, I pretty much covet Emerson's life. She has a wonderful, innate style and the clothes are completely gorgeous. I'll take this outfit, please.
I really need some new shorts. Something easy that I can run around all weekend in. I think these are honestly wildly overpriced, but on the other hand, I love how Paperboy's pants fit me and they are always the softest.

I've been coveting the Miz Mooz Hype sandals since I laid eyes on them, and I really need a neutral sandal:

But let's face it, since Adrien's post I am pretty much dying for the green. Neutral, schmutral.

A lot of my work-appropriate summer dresses are looking pretty darn shabby. Adrien linked to this one a few days back and I keep visiting it. I think it would look great with a tan.

And then this, which isn't work appropriate at all, but you know I want it:

There are seriously so many other things I am coveting right now, like a new bag (something brown and vintage-y), an iPad (bad!), a remote for my camera (necessary!), and a bunch of new Bobbi Brown makeup (my new face obsession), but dear lord woman. Show some restraint.

What about you? Do you enter your birthday month armed with a wish list, or do you get amnesia when asked what you want?

  1. Love those army green/grey shorts. Just added them to my mental wishlist!

    I tell the bf "Look at my blog! It's full of stuff I want!" when holidays come around but I still have to narrow things down for him and he surprises me.

    Happy early birthday! I hope you get what you want! :)

  2. Have you looked at J.Crew's shorts? They have some cute options in the sale section and they have free shipping today and tomorrow.

  4. Ok. You know that super cute swimsuit I posted on Twitter? Kohl's. I know. But I also found shorts there that I lurve. One pair of Lauren Conrad's brand. I know. And another random brand. Three pair on sale for like $80 or so. It's worth a look ;-)
