SISTER'S CHRISTMAS WISH LIST...

HONEY, ARE YOU READING? 

Every year I have a list of items that I covet from afar and every once in a while verbalize to my incredibly generous and loving husband. I try to avoid giving him a list because he is the sweetest and most giving man I've ever met and quite truthfully, would buy it all. He loves me. This is fact. 

MY HUSBAND, JASON
As I've grown older and had more children, however, that list tends to take a back seat. After all, what fun is Christmas if you can't spend every last dime on your precious children? My absolute favorite moment of the holiday is when my three bundles tumble down the stairs and take that first glance of the glorious loot that Santa (and Mommy and Daddy) have left for them... naughty or nice (we know it's usually a healthy mix of both), my kids are the happiest I've ever seen them. And that, my friends, makes me the happiest and the most blessed mother on the planet.

VIOLET, STELLA AND DASHIELL
A MOTHER'S GREATEST GIFT(S)
That being said, there are those moments where I retreat into LaLa Land and visions of orange Hermes boxes are also gallantly waiting to be torn into by yours truly. These are visions (and not of sugar plums), but nonetheless... 

So, here goes my top PICKS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON:

HERMES BIRKIN BAG IN ORANGE POTIRON -
BECAUSE IT'S TIMELESS AND BREATHTAKING AND PRACTICAL ALL IN ONE

MARC JACOBS' WOOL GLOVES, $80 BUY AT NETAPORTER
I MUST HAVE A NEW PAIR OF GLOVES EVERY WINTER.

CARTIER LOVE BRACELET WITH DIAMONDS
I HAVE THE ONE WITHOUT DIAMONDS - IT NEEDS A FRIEND :)

So, there you have it. The winners of sister's 2010 wish list. Might be a pipe dream, but you can't fault a girl for dreaming now, can you? Yes, I have expensive taste. Sue me.
