I don’t want sparkly things… I want shiny things.

After trying to come up with a wishlist for Christmas, I realized how different I am from most girls I know. Things I want as gifts (and usually buy for myself) includes electronics, books and appliances. I want a DSLR, an iPad (although I’m sure I’ll never use it), a new Blackberry Bold, these snowboard boots, a set of knives, a Bamix handblender, a carbon-fiber road bike…

If you get me clothes, jewelry, shoes, bags or make up, you better give me the receipt so I can return it and buy something useful instead.

$3000 purse? Uhhhh… someone tell me what I would do with an expensive, designer purse?! iMac please!

If all else fails, I would love gift certificates (money) to (and I won’t judge you):

Stuff I DON’T WANT:
beauty/hair/skin products (that’s not on my list), clothing and accessories (GC’s only).

Boyfriend is forcing me to go to Seattle this long weekend— yes FORCING. I didn’t want to shop but he was so insistent so I felt bad and couldn’t say no. I have no idea what I want to buy though because I already did some major credit card damage this week BUT I managed to make a small list of things I’m hoping to get this weekend (can’t go home empty-handed!).

1. Trouser suit because I absolutely LOVE Rihanna’s look at the Met ball.
   

   Rihanna has invented a new approach to evening style.
   - André Leon Talley

2. Black thigh-high socks (image via Dinh Dinh L on Lookbook.nu).
3. Lady Gaga’s Bow Tie Headband. Lady Gaga has one, Pam got one so I want one too!!
4. Brisingr by Christopher Paolini (US/Canada). Been patiently waiting for book 3 of The Inheritance Cycle to come out on paperback to complete my collection but I think I’m just going to pick up the hardcover because I can’t wait any longer.
5. Marie-Antoinette and the Last Garden at Versailles (US/Canada). I’ve been eyeing this book for ages!
6. Rainboots. Hopefully ones similar to Plueys (via Urbane Bloc). I don’t need them but I just want them because they’re too cute! It’s perfect for Vancouver weather even though I rarely go out in the rain because I’m either at the office or in my car.
7. Statement jewelry. I found great posts in my reader from The Capitol Fashionista and Trend de la Crème with some amazing and affordable statement jewelry. I want more! Maybe I’ll try find some supplies as well because I want to start make my own.

ONLY 7?! *hangs head in shame*
