I hope you had a blissful Thanksgiving! I'll post about mine later, but it was good. :) I'm one of the 4 people at the office today (used a lot of vacay on the honeymoon), so thought I'd blog over lunch a little...Btw SUPER close to a new layout from the fabulous Erin at Two Thirds Hazel. Can't wait to get it up and live on the blog! I love it so much!
Anyhoo...As people started asking me what I want for Christmas, I realized I probably should pick out a few things.. My head has been so focused on the wedding for the past year that Christmas kinda snuck up. And well.. I don't NEED anything, so there's that. Along those lines, I started my amazon wish list and appropriately called it First World Problems. It's more of a list of stuff I might buy at some point and not just a Christmas list, but whatever. Anyway, while I don't neeeeed anything, here are some things on the good old list...
* Who needs $150 rain boots? But... I mean...you can insert the little fleece/weather liner and make them snow proof, too (Oklahoma snow proof....not say Minnesota snow proof), so they're DOUBLE DUTY! Er...right? The lawyer in me can rationalize almost anything...Whatever.. I love them and have loved them for years but just won't buy them.

| Buxom at Sephora |
* If you've been reading for awhile, you know the love I have for holiday beauty sets...especially lip sets. And I also love buxom. Every year, I really do stalk sephora online for their gift sets...It's a problem.
* I wanted to get these for all my bridesmaids, but had already purchased two other things and it just didn't make sense. But, hello perfect airplane carry-on, classy tote, etc. I know they've been popular for (many) years now and I just didn't get on the Longchamp train, but I have to admit...I crave the versatility of these suckers.
* I really didn't think I wanted a kindle since Eric has one I can borrow, but on our honeymoon, I realized WHY I wanted one... He was reading his and I only brought one book to save space. When I finished my book, I had to find a bookstore to get another...which again...is why my list is called First World Problems.

| Cocomango |
* First, it's called Cocomango. That's just cool. Second, I want this b/c it was the shower gel and lotion from our Kauai hotel spa. I LOVED it so much and thought "I need to go buy some.." But then I didn't. Thinking I could get some at the Oahu Hyatt, I didn't worry about it. WRONG. It's literally only available at the Kauai spa. I started reading forums and realized that I wasn't the only one who cracked out over this stuff. And now that I'm back on the mainland, shipping costs pretty much double the price of this stuff. Grr...why didn't I just buy it?! And yes... I want to smell like a tropical paradise in the middle of winter in Tulsa. Whatever.

I have been dying for those boots too! They are so expensive and I can't decide between red or black! I love your list! I hope you get some of these great items.

Ok, I got those boots for Christmas two years ago (Steve bought them during a Nordstrom sale) & I love them! Totally practical for Tulsa considering we have rain/sleet/snow/ice, etc. I have the inserts on my list this year b/c my boot socks aren't cutting it anymore, but they of course make the boots even better! ;)
Love your list! Those Hunter boots are on my wish list as well (in black or colorblock in Black and Tan). Also, I lovey Longchamp bag. It is perfect for traveling because you don't have to worry about it getting messed up.
oooh I so want some hunter rain boots too but totally don't need them. I just found your blog - my name is also Jackie and I am (still) an attorney. but PR sounds so much more fun - I need to find a job more fun than being an attorney ahh!
