Christmas Wish List

You know you're getting old when any given wishlist consists mostly of things for the kitchen. I'm really trying to think ahead here and stock up on things I don't have for when I have another apartment. I'll sneak some DVDs and music on the list so I'm not totally lame. If only that Lana Del Rey album was already out...

Wow, that was a terrible idea. Every time I make a Christmas List I always find so many things that I never thought of and end up falling in love with them. (Cough... duvet cover, you will be mine.) Looks like my savings account might be taking a pretty big hit post Christmas with all this home shopping!

I also feel the need to disclose that I ridiculously contemplated registering for a "wedding" to myself at Target just to get some organized list of everything I'll need for a new apartment. I thought that might be taking advantage of the system though. That wedding I went to last weekend had me so excited about EVERYTHING on their list... and also a little sad that someone already bought them the waffle maker. Isn't it just so much more fun to buy presents for people that you would also love getting? Now I'm in the mood to start making my lists for what to buy everyone else!

What's on your Christmas list this year?

Steve Madden: Peace, Love, and Bedding?

Those of you who have been around a while know I have what is a probably a slightly unhealthy obsession with Steve Madden shoes. (Well, unhealthy on my bank account anyways...) Steve Madden goes beyond shoes with handbags, accessories, and even some apparel, but it was recently brought to my attention (Thanks Mandy!) that the company also makes BEDDING. I've also mentioned my slight obsession with interior decorating and/or my bed before, so this REALLY excited me.


I think the bedding definitely follows the overall theme you can see throughout Madden shoes, with a fun, young, and slightly sophisticated style. The picture of the bedding above (From SteveMadden.com) actually is really similar to the bedding I have in my room at my parents' house now. Below are some of the other styles offered at Bed Bath & Beyond. Some of them are a little "younger" than others, but overall I really like the line, which is also extended to some bathroom decor.
