12 Days of Christmas: Day 6

In exactly one week it will be Christmas! I'm so excited! Of course that also makes it day 6 of the 12 Days of Christmas Countdown. Halfway there!

 

"On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me, six geese a laying."

 

 

If I have learned anything from feeding Canadian geese at the lake near my house, I know that geese can be selfish, aggressive, and mean so I wouldn't suggest buying six of those for your loved one anytime soon, unless you want a good goose bite (they pinch AND twist).

 

Why not make yourself as warm and cozy as watching Love Actually makes your heart feel and wrap yourself in something with nice warm goose down instead?

 

Here are six of my favorite goose down things right now.

 

Burberry Brit fur trimmed parka with down filled warmer

Down Coat with back zipper for Baby
Round baby dressed in this cute coat? So cute it would be illegal.
 

J. Crew Excursion Vest
I love stripes everything and vests are no exception.



Lilly Pulitzer Kate Puffer Vest
Supposedly this vest is slimming. Either way its super cute!
 



 



Ediie BauerDown Oversize Throw
To cuddle under while watching Love Actually.
 



 

West Elm Premium Down Duvet Cover Insert
This might seem like a boring choice but with all the cute duvet covers you could put on this combined with fluffy softness it had to be on the list!

Dreaming of a Winter Accessories filled Christmas

Weald Faux Fur Hat

Like many of you, I have spent quite a bit of quality time perusing the internet for deals. Seriously online shopping is really an addiction. I spend so much time deciding whether I am buying the gift because the person I am buying it for will like it or because I like it and want it for myself. And then there is the inevitable fact that for every item I find for someone else I find 20 things that I want for myself. Seriously, are all major holiday and event (back to school, summer) sales meant to save moms and families money really designed to trick single people into buying a ton of stuff? Oh this sweater is marked down so that your Aunt you never see can afford to buy it for you? Don't mind if I pick up this bargain for myself. 

Honestly, though I'm wandering a bit off topic. While scrolling through the Anthropologie website the other day (I know I'm obsessed, read my previous post about said store here) for my Cyber Monday post I found myself struggling to make a decision on which accessorie that I wanted to feature. Hats, scarves, gloves, mittens, it doesn't matter. I loved them all. 

There is a problem though. First, I'm not made of money so I can't indulge my fancies and buy all of them. Second, I look/feel somewhat silly in hats. In my head/when I try them on in the store, hats are adorable and sexy and make me look that cute quirky girl that somehow always meets the cutest guys randomly at a coffee shop. The girl that every guy looks at and thinks, "Who is that girl? I must take her home to meet my incredibly wealthy and old monied family who will welcome her into the family with open arms." However, in reality who wears a cloche in the 2010's (although I think they should make a MAJOR comeback in the 2020's!)? For that matter, who besides Rachel Zoe, wears a hat at all? (Just to clarify when I say "wear hats" I mean indoors and all day long, not outside to keep your head warm.) I don't want to be that girl at work.

So in conclusion to this semi long ramble, what I want for Christmas is an unlimited budget to buy winter accessories from Anthro and a world in which it is accepted and encouraged to wear said things....and world peace...and to help those less fortunate...and other things. 

We have to start somewhere.
