As I was thinking about things I would love to get for my 23rd birthday this year I realized they fall into two categories—practical (soccer cleats, a never-fail straightener) and pampering (monthly subscription to beauty samples, new TV sourcing system because I'm addicted to a good plotline). This is probably an accurate depiction of my personality—extremely practical and responsible with an adventurous and indulgent streak. Oxymoron? Maybe, but that's me!

Color Cravings: Birthday Blisses
People often ask me if I dislike having a birthday so close to the holidays. I actually love it because it's never forgotten and I can ask for twice as much loot as the typical person ;) In high school I especially liked the assurance of my special day being over break. Now that I'm in college I've realized that it can be hard to round of a group of friends to celebrate when most of them are out of town. However, this year I'm determined to age in style. I'll keep you posted on my plans!

Color Cravings: Christmas Wishes
Usually bloggers post holiday gift guides to give you ideas for the special people in your life. Since only people I know read this blog, I don't want to reveal the gifts I'm giving! Instead, here are some ideas of some gifts that I would love to recieve ;) I will let you in on one secret though: the coral, aqua, and gold color palette seen below is a hint to how I've been wrapping my gifts.
I used to get really disillusioned about my financial state when I would see wishlists comprised of three-digit priced gifts posted on other sites. But as I was building my own today, it all clicked. They are called wishlists for a reason—in a world without restrictions these are the things I would buy for myself. I don't actually expect my family to get me shoes that cost as much as ski pants. Or ski pants that cost as much as shoes...I'm not sure which is more of a leap. Anyway, enjoy perusing my dreams and desires! And if you need help making your own list, check out Wishlistr for a simple way to keep your friends and family updated on your latest favorite things.
