C is for Christmas 2015

I am embarrassed it's taken this long to finally compose this list, especially considering I started it back in September. Oops! Well, I'm halfway through wrapping all the Christmas presents I've purchased for friends and family, so it's my turn to be greedy. Right? (I think that's how this works.) Either way, these past few months have FLOWN by. How is next week Thanksgiving? That means it's practically Christmas Eve. ;) Below are my top 18 "I need this or I may die!" items. There are more, less dramatic, items here.
1. Happy Bracelet in Gold ($10.80 on Etsy) The cutest and daintiest little reminder to be happy and stay happy.//2. Tiny Cat Ring in Rose Gold ($19.90 on Etsy in Size 7) I MEAN. Rose Gold + Cats = The ideal ring.//3. Dainty Bracelet ($26.26 on Etsy) Are you starting to sense a theme here?...//4. Fujifilm Instax Mini in Stripes ($9.05 on Amazon) Because white frames get a little boring after awhile, ya know?!//5. Horseshoe Studs ($19.70 on Etsy) I probably need these in my life, they're so little.//6. Multi Charm Pouch ($45.00 on Sonix) I am 100% convinced you can never have too many bags. I should note, there is also a matching iPhone case, should you feel so inclined.//7. Killin' It Pink Rose Print ($11.00 at Madz Design) There is a cute little spot right above my TV just waiting to be filled with this cutie little print.//8. Gold Foil Print Strawberry ($10.00 on Etsy - 5 x 7, please) While my living room/bedroom (studio life...) collage is quite full, my kitchen collage is lacking. The donut and macaron prints need a healthy friend.//9. Gold Foil Print WINK ($10.00 on Etsy - 5 x 7) Ugh, I am obsessed with this print. It's been in my Etsy cart off and on for months. But, because I'm a rational (read: poor) adult, I've moved it to my Christmas list. 
10. Gold Stud Earrings ($17.51 on Etsy) My obsession with gold earrings MAAAAAY be getting out of hand, but we can deal with that when it comes to my birthday list, yes? Yes.//11. Meow Stainless Wine Glass Set ($16.00 from Urban Outfitters) Believe it or not, my cat cup count is zero. ZERO. I know... Crazy.//12. Gold Stud Earrings ($30.64 on Etsy) Oops.//13. Vanilla Bean Travel Candle ($15.00 from Henri Bendel) I've literally lost count as to how many times this candle has landed on my wishlist. It's the most magical scent bundled up into the cutest little tin.//14. Hi Five! Plate ($5.99 from H&M) I mean, look at this plate and tell me it's not the cutest plate you've ever seen. Right? Right! I should note, there is also a matching oven mitt... Just saying. Ahem.//15. Maximum Potassium iPhone 6 Case ($23.99 on ModCloth or Sonix) I should start by saying, first I need an iPhone 6 or 6Plus. But I can't have a naked (new) rose gold iPhone, ya know?//16. Boyfriend Denim Jacket ($40.00 on Old Navy in Medium) I can't remember the last time I had a denim jacket, but this wash is too great to pass up.//17. Cake Tea Towel ($4.99 from H&M) "I love cake and cake loves me right back!" Um, that's adorable. H&M is really killin' it. //18. Evil Eye Pink Tint iPhone 6 Case ($39.99 on Sonix) Again with my "I can't have a naked (new) rose gold iPhone..." argument. Plus, I need to mix it up. Bananas and eyeballs are a great match, haven't you heard?!

UPDATE: B is for Birthday 2015

I AM GOING TO BE 25 IN ONE MONTH. I'm kind of excited and kind of totally freaking out. One in the same, am I right? Well, despite the fact that I'm getting old (c'est la vie) this also means I get a birthday. And birthdays bring presents. And presents bring heart smiles. You know, when your heart smiles? It's totally a thing, I'm sure of it... Anyway, here is my birthday list. Finally! (Sorry Mom.)
1. Jason Polan Burger & Fries Shoes I was just told that I have "high cholesterol" and can't eat french fries for a while. I'm not going to lie, it's in the top 10 hardest moments of my life. Okay, that's just dramatic, it's not. But I do miss them. To fill my fry void, I'd love to wear these around. Size 8, please! $65.00 at Soludos//2. ban.do Super Chill Cooler Bag My best friend works for them, but I'm still adding this to the list because I've been coveting it forever. And because she's so talented, it makes me weep. Love at first sight, my friends. (Both my BFF and this bag.) $32.00 at ban.do.//3. Harry Styles & Some Pizza Slices T-Shirt I saw this on my friend's Instagram the other day and said "If I don't have this, I may die." With all the devastating One Direction news this week, I think I do NEED this. Size Medium, please! $15.99 on Etsy.//4. Don't Worry Be Yonce Doormat Um, I know I got a doormat the other year, but BEYONCÉ. That's reason enough. It is sold out temporarily, but if you promise it to me, I won't be mad. It just has to be in front of my apartment at some point this year. $45.00 at LuluGeorge.//5. Cat Eye Mask I know I asked for this before, but I still don't have it and I probably need it. Olivia bit all my blinds, so the unwanted early morning sun is not appreciated. But she's too cute to get mad at... $24.00 at Catbird.//6. Ladurée Candle These are so beautiful, I want all of them. Also, if I could live inside a Ladurée store, I would. I don't know which fragrance I want, so, surprise me? ;) Price varies on Ladurée.//7. Home Is Where Your Cat Is Print YES I KNOW THIS IS ON MY LIST AGAIN. I'm so lazy, I haven't purchased it myself. But, it's true. I can't imagine my apartment with out my Livvy Loo. (She has so many nicknames, I don't know how she lives in all the confusion.) $20.00 at Cristina Martinez Paz.//8. New Look Queen of Pop Zip Around Purse I love this so much. Popcorn + Pop + Purse + Pink = Love. $9.00 at Asos.//9. Shake It Off Banner Right now I just have a gold "Fa La La La" banner above my bed. While, we should always fa la la la, I also need a reminder that I need to shake it off. Plus, I know Taylor Swift tried pulling all these off Etsy, so go before it's too late!!!! $22.00 on Etsy.

There's a chance I made an update. Tee hee. ;)
10. Cat Lady Chic I'd like to consider myself um, cat lady chic. I'm probably closer to just a regular ol' cat lady. But either way, some inspiration would be nice. $18.95 at Urban Outfitters.//11. Law & Order DUN DUN. I would like all the 90s seasons, please. I'm kind of obsessed with law, order, murder mysteries, etc... I can't explain it, I just love it. (I could talk about "The Jinx" or "Serial" for a solid 45 minutes. Nonstop.) Now that Netflix took away the old seasons, I'd love to have them on DVD. (Yes, I use DVDs still, sue me.) $25.47 on Amazon.//12. Designer Lipstick And Pizza Print by Bouffants And Broken Hearts This is pretty self-explanatory. It's pink. I love pink. Designer lipstick. I mean, hi! Pizza. Psh. Please. Those were horrible reasons, but I know what I'm talking about! $25.00 at Society6.com.//13. Tiny Cat Stud Earrings I MEAN. So dainty. So cute! I have a serious cat theme happening this year. No shame. $24.00 on Etsy.//14. Pink Donut Pool Float I've been lusting after this donut pool float for about a year and a half now. I just need it. I crave sprinkle donuts about once a day, but never act on it. This seems like a healthier alternative. $24.00 at Urban Outfitters.//15. Cat Nap Pillowcases Okay, this may be a littleeeee overboard, but c'mon! $32.00 on Etsy.//16. Happy Kitty Print This is pretty much my Olivia in a sketch. Plus, it's pink! $20.00 (unframed & 5 x 7, please) on Minted.com.//17. Cat Ears Ring Uh, this is the cutest thing ever! Size 6.5, pretty please! $28.00 on Etsy.//18. Disco Ball I have two mini disco balls, but I think my kitchen 100% needs a good sized disco ball. Ya know? $25.54 on Amazon.

Of course, I have a whole board on Pinterest of more things I "can't live without." So check it. And thank you, in advance. Guys, IT'S ALMOST MY BIRTHDAYYYYYYYY. I mean, whatever. It's fine.
