Not only is next week Christmas, but it’s also my 30th birthday. (Yes, unfortunately, my birthday is Christmas Eve.) I’ve been non-stop shopping both for my loved ones and for PurseBlog’s gift guides for the past month, and in that time, I’ve noticed a couple things that I wouldn’t mind receiving for either of next week’s gift-giving occasions.
Check out my personal picks below. I wear just as much black as this makes it seem like I do.
Acne Oversized Shearling Biker Jacket
$2,800 via Net-a-Porter
No one has ever looked as cool as Paris Vogue‘s digital editor did wearing this jacket in a photo I once saw, and it has been my white whale ever since.
Dior Black Technologic Sunglasses
$535 via SSENSE
I can’t actually have these because I wear prescription sunglasses, but this is a safe space for impracticality.
Dr. Martens Flora Chelsea Boots
$140 via SSENSE
I came upon these boots a couple days ago while looking for good gifts for Givenchy lovers, and I’ve been thinking about them ever since. Not only are they perfect, wear-anywhere Chelsea boots, but the price is the best you’ll find for a pair this expensive-looking.
Elder Statesman Cashmere Beanie
$250 via Net-a-Porter
I cannot conceptualize of a universe in which I’d pay this much for a beanie, but I’d definitely let someone else buy one for me. (Dark colors only, please; my hair is purple and the color bleeds on lighter shades.)
Givenchy Micro Nightingale Bag
$1,790 via Neiman Marcus
For someone who likes handbags, streetwear and the color black as much as I do, it’s crazy that I don’t already have a Givenchy bag.
Herbivore Bright Pineapple Enzyme + Gemstone Instant Glow Mask
$48 via Sephora
I want this mask 75% because it’s supposed to work really well and 25% because the packaging is so simple and beautiful.
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit
$80 via Net-a-Porter
I’m a bit obsessed with highlighting and glow-enhancing products, and this palette is hard to resist.
Nike Roshe One DMB Sneakers
$175 via Nike
I wear a pair of all-black Roshes almost every day; they’re incredibly comfortable and versatile. The raised python detailing on this version is so cool.
Perricone MD Blue Plasma Cleansing Treatment
$45 via Sephora
My tried a bit of this stuff from my mom’s supply the last time I visited home and really loved it. I love the idea of washing my face without splashing excess water in my hair.
Proenza Schouler Stripe Bucket Bag
$1,425 via Proenza Schouler
I think everyone has a bag brand who they feel like really gets them, and for me that’s Proenza.
I literally want everything on your wish list! Love the Nikes, so cool! Just ordered some APL sneakers but might need these as well as the micro Nightingale!
Those Nikes are TAUNTING me!
I need everything! I used to have those Docs, but they were extremely hard to break in, and the is coming from a Doc lover!!
Happy early birthday!! Regarding your glasses wish, I have the same Rx issue so I had my optician fit prescription lenses in the Chanel sunglasses I was obsessing over. Not the cheapest option but I got exactly what I wanted.
I love the “wants to see under the tree”!
Best to make oneself crystal clear – especially when trying to communicate to boyfriend or husband.
Bummer about your birthday, Amanda… mine is Christmas Day! Aren’t you royally sick of the “This is for your birthday AND Christmas” speech? Best wishes to you anyway, and congrats on becoming a grownup.
Bummer for both of us! I always joke that the only way my birthday could be worse is if it were on Christmas, so I have a lot of sympathy for your situation. And happy birthday to you as well!
I often go to the website iluxshop.es to buy some replica Basketball star clothes
I got five from there, I bargained and I love it, my bag looks REAL.
Sadly, Hermès is the bag brand that “gets” me. Great for me, but not for my wallet 🙂
Hermès (no Birkins ever), Dior, Tod’s, and Valextra just get me. There’s not a bag by any of those brands I dislike. My style is very WASPy, though, so I tend to gravitate towards more understated bags.
Happy Birthday!!!
Thank you!!
I love that biker jacket! Alas, net a porter says it’s sold out in every size. Hope Santa shopped for you early!
