After spending three solid days inside studying, I finally ventured out on Monday to “study abroad” (a.k.a. at Starbucks) and to take my car in for a tune up. Because if there’s any day my car would decide to die or get a flat tire, it would be on my way to an exam. That’s how the world works.

Anyway, after I got dressed I remembered that usually when I go a mechanic, I like to wear something that says “don’t take advantage of me just because I’m a girl.” Normally that just means I wear a law school t-shirt (the subliminal message is “I’m smart and I’ll sue your ass”). But since I was already dressed, I decided to just add these badass studded boots. Because everyone knows mechanics pay a lot of attention to women’s shoes.

Get Under My Tree

Remember when you were a kid and people would ask: “What did you ask Santa for this year?” Have you noticed that people stop asking you that once you’re an adult? I know, I know, it’s better to give than to receive. No argument there. But why is it cute when kids tell everyone the presents they want, and it’s greedy for a grownup to do the same?

 

I’ve seen a lot of “gift guides” around the style blogosphere recently, but very few wishlists. I don’t think it should be taboo to tell people what’s on your Christmas list! I mean if we were all 9 years old, hanging out on the playground, we would be comparing notes – “Which American Girl doll do you want?” “Well I already have Felicity, but I want her canopy bed.” If anything, we’re more mature now and better equipped to handle jealousy, right?

 

So with that speech out of the way, here are a few things I would be excited to unwrap in a couple weeks! More importantly: What did you ask Santa for this year, little girl? 😉
