These were a few of my favorite things!

I had titled a post very similarly after Christmas but then I spaced and went off track. I ended up talking about our Christmas adventures instead...which was better I suppose. I discovered a few new favorites this past Christmas. Most of them were gifts...well, they were all gifts-- even if just to myself. 

1. Hunter Wellies: My parents got me these in glossy red and I love them! I decided that it was time for either a new pair of Uggs (Jay is embarrassed of mine) or that I should go for some rain boots. I decided that I would spare the sheep and go for the rain boots. My dad, brother and husband got a pretty kick out of them because they couldn't imagine why I would need 'irrigation boots' but I explained that I was preparing for a rainy summer. Gotta have faith! And clearly they are missing how cute they are even it's not wet or rainy. I've only worn them once (no rain or snow) but they were comfortable and kept me warm. I hope to get a lot of use out them!

2. McKenzie Child's Enamel Canisters: I've loved these black and white checkered canisters for a long time but couldn't talk myself into the purchase because Richard gifted me a beautiful set that he had in his house. However, I mentioned them to Jay's mom this year in a 'wish list possibilities' and she got them for me!! Score! 

They look great against the subway tile and dark cabinets in our kitchen and are smaller than my others which gives me more counter space. Then Breezy and Emma (really Richard) got me the matching salt and pepper shakers when they were in NYC! Double score!

3. Lululemon Still Pant: Ok sure, so I bought these $98 lounge pants for myself because I'm a complete lush and lulu addict BUT they are worth every penny!! They are gloriously comfortable, durable and I can wear them around town while running errands. They have the option to have a high waist or you can roll the top for a lower fit. I choose the rolled fit and they lay really flat and smooth. 

If only I could have gotten those hip bones for Christmas too...

4. Jo Malone Blackberry and Bay Perfume: I think that I've mentioned before that in obsessed with Jo Maline diffusers but I'm equally obsessed with their perfume. Every scent is unique, long lasting and high quality. Some of them are limited editions but this one came out last fall and I've wanted it for a while. My parents get the credit for this too! It's amazing, I highly recommend this scent and anything else JM that you stumble upon. 

5. Diamond Studs!! Last but certainly not least, Jay surprised me with a beauuuutiful pair of round cut diamond studs set in platinum. I'm a stud girl. It's really all that I wear but besides a pair of David Yurman studs that I got as a gift, I've never had a really nice set of studs. I don't have a picture of them but they really sparkle! Thanks dear!

Well that was fun...now I'll leave you with a picture of my sweetheart. 

Jay and I are taking all three pups to the vet tomorrow for shots and to schedule a teeth cleaning for B. Ally and Job both have new lumps that we need to have checked out...wish us luck!
