Random Free People

In the spirit of the Christmas season and my favorite brand, I have put together some of my Free People wishes.



First is the Boho Angel Blanket.  Yes I do realize the magnitude of the price, but I am still a little kid when it comes to my presents.  Christmas is not the time to ask for socks and necessities.  It's a time to splurge and get random and expensive blankets like the one above.  I am just picturing it at the edge of my bed folded over my quilted comforter.  The ivory color will go with any chair, bedding set, or family room couch.  The fridge and beadwork give it just enough design, but it is still available to wrap around yourself and snuggle (favorite activity).  The next item on my list is the Oh Loverboy Dress.  I love this dress for many reasons.  First, for those with green eyes it's the perfect shade of green to bring out the green in your eyes.  Next I love the hint of black trim because it can be work with flats in the springtime or with black tights and pumps in the fall and winter.  I absolutely love this dress and very much hope it's under the tree when I come home from school fresh out of finals! (Love you mom ;) ).


The next two items are ones that could actually go together.  The first is the Solid Ruffled Tap Short.  Personally, I have had a pair of black dress shorts on my list for awhile.  They can be worn with a classy white tank in the summer with simple flip flops or with tights and a smart blazer in the winter.  They are super light and comfortable and will feel like a skirt.  I have saved the best for last.  I am obsessed with the Velvet Crusher Peeptoe.  I am partial to the cherry, but all the colors are fantabulous.  I don't even know where to begin.  The glitter on the platform and heel provide a statement with every step and combined with the velvet on the base of the shoe, they are perfect for winter.  The dainty silk bow on the back just seals the deal.

So that is my Christmas list for now.  I am sure it will grow, but these are my loves as of now.  Happy Holidays and happy shopping!

Time to get back to blogging and what better way to do that than to share my new favorite TOMS.  For a little pop I love the Black Glitters.  I was a fan of the Silver and Gold Glitters, but the subtle gloss of the black would be a more subtle way to add some fun to a blah, winter outfit.  And the pattern on the inside of the shoe is adorable.  Another adorable plum option for fall/winter is the Plum Wool Cordones.  They are a touch thicker than the original TOMS.  Last, but absolutely not least are the Purple Flannel Women's Botas.  These are at the top of my Christmas list for a cluster of reasons.  I love the purple and grey combination of flannel.  They also have this shoe in black, but it almost looked too manly for my taste (despite my love for menswear inspired pieces).  More fun Christmas list items to come!
