On Turning 32...

Recently, I turned 32 and boy has my entire world changed since turning 31, last year.  I know a lot of people say that their entire worlds have changed in the course of a year but, I have changed states, marital status and parental status all in less than 365 days.  I think I deserve a treat.

Like every other year, I feel as if it is appropriate for me to purchase myself a birthday present.  However, this year I am having trouble deciding, so I will see advice from you all.  Here is my "wish list".

---



Now, I am not the biggest fan of the black asprin dot as shown above but, there are so many other patterns and colors to choose from...  




...like Bubble Flower Pink, Daisy Chain Turquoise and Button Up Sea (respectively).  So pretty!

Super chic for the warm months ahead, not like I don't wear sunglasses every single time I am outdoors anyway (rain, shine, snow, overcast, you name it).  I wouldn't have a hard time justifying this purchase except that I don't really wear my contacts anymore, so I don't know when I would wear them.

Super cute and well priced, I want one of them but cannot seem to be able to choose between the John Galt and Franny Glass (respectively).  I do have the Vicki Jerangle Carrick headband from KJP and the quality of the products are very good.  Now, I just need to stop pulling my hair up all the time and start wearing it!

I LOVE this dress.  Yeah, yeah, I know it was from the Fall 2010 collection but, it's so super cute.  I am also just starting to love the look of the tunic dress.  I know I am behind the fashion times but, it had to grow on me.

*I had to borrow this photo from Shopaholic in Alabama's blog!  I couldn't find the picture anywhere.

Now, to be honest, this is totally different than my typical style - but, I LOVE it.  I think it is so super cute and unique.  And, I have a thing for stuff that is personal(ized)!

Ok, yes.  I am 32, not 12 but, I collect these dolls (my Kirsten is 24 years old!) and I have a feeling that Miss McIntire is probably about to go the way of Samantha (who, I never got to buy - pissed), Kirsten and Felicity (who are both snugly tucked away in the attic) and be retired.  That means I must buy her for me to pass down to First Mate before she's a few hundred bucks on eBay!

This list could go on and on but, I had to cut it down to my very favorites!

What do you think?

  3. A belated Happy 32nd to you! Love some of these treasures you are sharing, like others, I find the sideways initial necklace very appealing! And no laughing, I still have my Madame Alexander Maria doll (Sound of Music) that is a more-than-a-tad older than Misses Felicity and Kirsten. (Quite.)

    Sending you a smile,
    tp

  4. Happy Belated!
    I really love that necklace...that has been bookmarked.
    Funny I was thinking TODAY how I need to do a post on my AG dolls... I see mother and daughters in NYC all the time with their dolls and shopping bags from the store and I think of my "girls" ha ha. I really wish it had been open when I was younger, but my parents are probably very happy it was catalog only!
