Christmas Wishes

It's time!! The christmas season is upon us, and I for one have made up my mind- I will be prepared this year. 

Hear me now- there will be no last minute nights spent buying toys and hand selecting stocking stuffers. No wrapping and knotting bows til the wee hours of morn. No, no- this is the year it happens. The year that will go down in history as a stress free, prepared, happy Christmas.

Now, I fully realize that none of these above items are kids gifts- that's coming, or gifts for the hubby- sorry I've no ideas, but as I'm shopping and perusing about, I have stumbled upon a few little treats Santa might need to know about. Some a smidgen more realistic than others, and a few- well, more the stuff dreams are made of.

1. hunter boots - I've been after a pair of hunters for awhile. So classically chic, and effortlessly cool- perfect for a lass tromping around the city, or a "farm" girl like myself, toddling thru fields after children and chickens.

2. The Citizenry - Del Campo Blanket- honestly, I would take anything from them! Have you ever checked out their website? It's incredible- crisp, clean, and it has some sort of magical power that incites wanderlust, causes wondrous daydreams and brings out  your inner interior designer.

3. Stash Co. - Antler Clutch- alright, this is more on the dream side of things, but it's just so beautiful. I love all their gear really- completely handmade, rugged, and artistic. I love anything that's one of a kind, built to last and style wise will stand the test of time. Stash Co. does it all.

4. Nikon 35 mm F1.8 - I've been a little obsessed with this lens for a bit now. Every lifestyle photographer I come across seems to claim this as their favorite. I'd love to give it a little test drive and see if it's everything it claims to be.

5. Kelly Moore Bag - Kelly Boy- A camera bag, would probably rank top of my wish list. I've been carrying a dinky little thing that came free with my camera. It's terribly unattractive, but it does the job, and as I always seem to be shooting outdoors, ambling thru branches and tall grass, all while chasing four wild ones- I don't complain. I would probably ruin this in one tiny session. I'm really after a vintage number but every time I come across The One, it's sold:( Photogs around the world seem to be raving about these bags though, supposed to be best of the best.

6. CAMP Collection - Camp Staff Ringer Tee- not pictured but completely adored. Can't wholly explain why, but I love this collection. It's so whimsical and fun, it makes me want to pile up with my best gals and paint nails while eating twizzlers and laughing uproariously. 

7. Anchors & Anvils - Camera Strap- Again I've got my heart set on a little vintage piece, but these are too cute not to share. 
If you've got a photography obsessed pal to buy for, definitely check out these little numbers.

Any of these would be simply dandy, but all I really want for Christmas is a few extra snuggles, and smoochies and some time spent nestled up- just me and my crew.

  2. wellies by Hunter are the best! I love my violet floral ones :) don't forget the boot liners to keep your toes extra warm in the colder months!

  3. Love your list and style. Hunter boots have long been on my wish list too. They seem to be the perfect multi-functional (and *super* cute) boot.

  5. I wouldn't be mad one bit if I received any one of these items. Except, I would need a new Nikon to go with that lens, which would not make me angry either!

  6. I love all your picks! they have such a great vibe about them. The Hunters are beautiful in this color. And that camera bag is to die for. I wish I had a great camera... I only have this old smal automatic camera that fell down a dozen times ;) maybe I should auto-gift it to myself... xo

  7. I have dark green wellies and they are so pretty. Mine kind of rub my toes though, and I can't decide if they are too small, too big, or if I just need to break them in a little more! : / - one of the great mysteries of life... What a lovely camera bag! XO -Alexandra

  8. Oh that camera bag looks so perfect! Mine is very utilitarian. I may need to ask for a "prettier" one for Christmas. Thanks for the inspiration!

  10. I love your wish list! I have boots & a lens on my wish list, too. I'm hoping my Christmas season is stress free too. I just ordered 4 gifts online. Woo!

  11. I love the look of my Hunters, I do. However, they are not the most comfortable thing to me. Not much support. Short walks are just fine and again I do love how they look! That camera bag......love i!! We got new IPhones, so that was our early Christmas presents to each other! Just focusing on the kids now. I have to say, I am the worst at gift giving, other than the kids. I actually kind of dread it, but things tend to turn out just fine. ;) I would like a list like this handed to me!!

  12. I think that lens will come in really handy for a certain project! [Love the clutch].....Hunters....so comfy, so practical.....(dreaming of a piece of land where I can let my littles run free and walk around in Hunters all day!)

  13. What a great list! I definitely could take almost anything off it - the boots especially!

  16. I love my Nikon 35 mm F1.8! Between that and my 85mm 1.8, I hardly use anything else! :)

  17. Great list! I have that Kelly Moore bag and it's a good one... but I quickly realized when lugging it around to weddings that a one shoulder is just so heavy and hurts to carry around for long. Wish I had thought of that before I bought it. Nice to see you're a fellow Nikon shooter ;)
