Replacing my Uggs

Dropping my christmas list hints...
I was browsing my local Sephora trying to not find things for me, but for the people I love. Alas:


Caudalie VinoGo Weekend Kit ($50 value) $32.00
The cute little kit includes the Instant Foaming Cleanser, a full size Beauty Elixir, Contour Eye & Lip Cream, Energizing Skin Cream, the Cabernet Shower Gel, Nourishing Body Lotion and the Lip Conditioner in a full size. Everything in this kit meets travel regulation standards - the bag is see through, and everything is under 3.0 oz - and the bottle for the cleanser is even refillable! And I've always loved the Beauty Elixer - much better than those "refreshers" that you buy that are basically just water in a spray can. The Beauty Elixer has all sorts of essential oils for your tired skin, and smells pleasant to boot.

Clarisonic Skincare Brush, $195.00
I put this on my christmas list to my mother as my big gift. Who needs pots and pans for your new apartment when you can have great skin? And I even have Oprah standing by my decision.

bag du jour
I like this YSL Uptown because it is smaller than the gigantic YSL Muse bags that all those olsen wannabes are toting around town. its a simple clean shape which would make it more useable, especially for the hefty $1895 its going for retail. the color is very versatile for my wardrobe, and since i've never been a fan of having basics, the color would go really well with all the other colorful shoes and bracelets i own.
I covet this Lanvin, COVET. Lanvin is always so classic and chic, Alber Elbaz and the creative team always opt for wearable as opposed to ultra trendy. It's so buttery soft and i have yet to find a designer who does a bag with a chain that is so specific to its own label, without reminding everyone of yet another Chanel handel rip-off. I. Covet. This. Bag. Plus, it's on sale at Barney's right now:)
And then there is the Marc Jacobs Stam bag. I've always loved this bag when i see it editorially, but im always so iffy about the quilted leather because it is so easy to knock off. Since this bag came out about five seasons ago, i have seen it everywhere from urban outfitters to chinatown knockoffs, so i never got it. This style is the newest one though, and the difference is that the quilt is larger which i personally think is better than a smaller quilt, which makes it look cheaper. I am digging the crinkly leather effect, much more polished than the regular matte leather. The old SS'06 and F/W'06 Stams were too dull for my taste, and some of the colors reminded me of old silly putty. this one is much more brilliant.
I know that this doesnt qualify as a bag, its very small and not everyday - but i am so obsessed with small bags. it is probably why i am having such a hard time finding a large everyday tote, i keep getting sidetracked with all the cute little ones. i can totally see myself wearing this with a cute flowery dress, or with jeans and a t-shirt. and at $416 (i know i know) its kindof a steal. kindof.

Wearing Today
I love this white shirt that Stella McCartney did for H&M two years ago, I haven't really had a chance to wear it anywhere because its very big in the back so that I cant wear it under anything, plus I think it's too thin for the fall/winter season it was released for. It's perfect for random days like today - lightweight and comfortable, but not slouchy and lazy looking. I'm wearing it with the sleeves rolled up over my grey 914 Jbrands (not quite confident enough to prance around with just thigh highs on, although that was the way Kate Moss wore it when she modeled the collection).
