christmastime: mama's wishlist part 1

Husband & I are danger of making one of those "don't get me anything big this year" pacts, but let's pretend we're not... 

1. I'v never even smelled this but it's called Coqui-Coqui Coco-Coco so I MUST OWN IT. They also have a bloody lovely looking spa residence in Tulum. Please can I go? Please?
2. Take a minute to imagine how AWESOME it would be to own this entire rainbow of Marimekko ice cream bowls. Just me? Ok, I know I don't have enough space (or enough friends?!) to justify such an extravagance, but for aesthetics alone...swoon. From Skandium.
3. I am going through very nice, not un-pricey coffee like wildfire because I keep trying to make espresso-strong coffee in my beloved cafetiere. That and the tedium of heating milk in a saucepan each day MUST STOP. Please Santa.... Dualit espresso machine.

Christmastime: Indy's wishlist part 1

All she really wants is five minutes' peace to chew on something illicit, like a tissue or one of Pablo's hot wheels cars, but here are some bits that I have been dreaming of on her behalf...

1. perfect little gold moccasins from Freshly Picked
2. Bobo Choses little caramel plush dog - looks like an actual pal
3. Chimayo romper from Little Warrior Kids - is this the outfit dreams are made of?

dreams can come true

As if by magic my prayers have been answered and those dreamboat Bobo Choses baby dresses have been made big! The limited edition collaboration with TENOVERSIX  (already a financially deadly site to visit, it is chockablock with gorgeous bits) means that once I've pulled off some kind of clever bank heist Indy and I can wear little & large versions of these geometric masterpieces. I'm thinking of selling a kidney and buying the lot... 

yes please buy me these

I've spent the entire year thinking I was 32, but having established with girlfriends over drinks last night that I'm only 31 (via some very shaky maths) it's about time I got a decent birthday wishlist together to throw in front of my husband's eyes every five minutes for the next month ahead of the REAL 32 rolling around on October 3rd! PLEASE O PLEASE O PLEASE....

1. TOP want, these Minnetonka moccasins (in a size 5/38 in case anyone's listening)
2. ...one pair is not enough. These too... please?
3. My eyelash curlers are still ones I stole from the beauty closet when I interned at ELLE magazine in 1999. I'm not kidding. My friend Lauren says these by Shu Uemura are the best.
4. Have been lusting after this Wildfox jumper and it's sold out everywhere....except the US site! NEED!
5. Loeffler Randall shoes. A girl can dream...
6. I am dead out of tshirts, tops and anything not eaten half to death by moths. This beautiful top from twostringjane on Etsy would kick off autumn nicely.
7. I'm DESPERATE to start making my own ice cream, even though it's practically winter... Kitchenaid attachment is a necessity, really.
8. I love this Zoe Karssen tee! Did I mention I am bereft of tops?

9. These really are largely autumn wardrobe based for a reason. I don't think my tie dye Ibiza baggies or my still-worn sleeveless maternity jumpsuit will adequately see me through a London November. And neither will my plimsolls. Boots please...
