My wish list is short this year. Most of all, I just want to have an uncomplicated pregnancy for the rest 5 months and a healthy baby to arrive in April. But, if you twisted my arm, I might share with you some things I wouldn't mind unwrapping this year. I am not requesting anything fancy, I would just like some practical items. Things I "need" more than "want".
I am in desperate need of new tennis shoes. Especially after the baby is born, I am going to kick my fitness routine into high gear. I love my Saucony's that I currently have, so when I spotted these in Orange I knew I had to have them! Grid Shadow Genesis $80 on Zappos
I have had my eye on this J.Crew peacoat forever. It's a timeless classic and perfect for Kansas City winters. I find I don't wear my heavy coats I used to have to wear in Chicago! Her Majesty's Peacoat in Navy $258
I am in need of a some organization in my life. I could use a new dayplanner and some cute file folders. I came across from these fun printed planners from Sarah Pinto. Right now you can get a planner, one notebook and a set of notecards for $30. What a deal!
I think I love the poka dot pattern the best...
I am in desperate need of some new pajamas. Marigot Collection is a Kansas City based company that makes the most gorgeous cotton pajamas and cashmere lounge wear. I have my eye on these Lorient print pajamas with shorts. They are available for pre-order now and will ship mid-February. $150
I have been taking The Bar Method classes at the brand new studio that opened here in Kansas City. I am officially obsessed. It's a fantastic workout, and I hope to continue this through my pregnancy and after. I would love the DVD's to do right after the baby is born. Once the baby comes, I will only have a few months to get in shape for swimsuit season!!!!
I have been doing photography on the side and would love to get a new lens. A photographer friend recommended the Canon EF 50MM lens. I looked at some photo examples take with this lens and they are amazing. The lens itself is only $106 (on Amazon). Anyone use this lens? Would you also recommend it?
So, I am dying to know...what is high on your list this year?
I saw those orange shoes at TJ Maxx this weekend. May want to check yours out.
ReplyDeleteMel, I have been wanting to get a great new camera - do you have any recommendations for a novice?
ReplyDeleteWe just got the Canon 50mm/1.8 too. Came highly recommended by two photographer friends. Mollie - we have the Canon EOS Rebel T2i...also highly recommended for novice. And get the book Momarazzi....
ReplyDeleteTotally hear you about a healthy pregnancy and baby, as that is first on my list! Also expecting in April(with a boy this time)! Love the orange sneakers and those cute pj's. The J. Crew coat would look great on you!
ReplyDeleteMel - I have that lens. LOVE it. Great for faces and details. Yummy baby and kid pics. (And congratulations!)
ReplyDeleteThose Saucony's are on sale for $60 at www.saucony.com! :)
