Everyone has a little wish list of things that they love, and I'm no different. Once in a while I'll do some online window shopping, and I've cultivated a few things that I really love and would buy if I had any disposable income whatsoever.
But, I always seem to forget about this list when my birthday or Christmas rolls around! Neither is coming up (my birthday isn't until July) but I think I'll share a few of my dream items with you now. :)
The first is this lovely umbrella. It's $38 on the MOMA website. I know $38 for an umbrella sounds ridiculous, but honestly, in Manhattan, an umbrella is one of your most important investments. Maybe it's not needed all the time, but when it is, you'd better not be without it (considering I walk an average of 60 blocks per day, it's extremely important to be able to stay dry on those rainy days). And since my last umbrella bit the dust (breaking completely in half while I was in the middle of crossing 4th Avenue), I'm in the market for a new one. I'm tired of buying $10 drugstore umbrellas, only to have them not be sturdy enough for the gusts of wind that typify NYC rainy days. This one is excellent quality, plus it changes color in the rain (the splotches start off white, and become colorful when they get wet)! But I just can't justify paying that much for an umbrella for myself. So if someone decided they wanted to be super-nice and buy it for me...well, that would be just wonderful!
The second item on my wishlist is a Microsoft Courier. Now, technically it hasn't been released yet, but I know that when it comes out, I will be drooling over it for days. Say what you will about the iPad, but I'm a PC girl, and this thing is SO COOL. I've been checking every so often for a release date, or at least some new information on it, and Microsoft is apparently being very tight-lipped over the whole thing. I know it's going to be obscenely expensive, but the fact of the matter is...I want one!
The third item is rather predictable, I'm afraid. I will, before I die, own a pair of Christian Louboutin heels. Come hell or high water, I will have some of those red-soled beauties on my feet. It's almost enough to make me want to become a celebutante, because those girls seem to wear nothing but Louboutins. I spend far too much time lusting after them on the Neiman Marcus website. These are my current favorite. Simple. Chic. Endlessly wearable. But $695. Through some magic of the Internet, please be mine!
Number four would have to be Lady Gaga concert tickets. I love her music and the whole message that she sends to her fans, and I would absolutely adore the opportunity to see her live in concert. My concert budget is one of the first things I had to get rid of when I made major spending cutbacks, and I miss going to concerts and shows so much.
The fifth thing is a Burberry trench. I really love Burberry, and their trenches are absolutely gorgeous. And absolutely, obscenely, disgustingly expensive. But I knew someone freshman year that had a Burberry trench, and I drooled over it every time she wore it. Again, once I'm older and making money, it'll be another thing that I'll (hopefully) be able to afford for myself. Sigh.
The last, and most important, is this. A signed first edition of my favorite book in the world, Gone With the Wind. It's currently on sale for the measly little price of $11,500. This is something that I will probably want for the rest of my life, and if I'm very, very lucky, may someday be financially stable enough to make the investment in. I'd really love any first edition, but a signed one would really be one of the most amazing things ever. Sigh. A girl can dream, right?
Well, I know it's a short list, and there are many more things, but I have a midterm tomorrow (the third in three days) so I suppose I should stop procrastinating (read: stop going through the Louboutins again) and study!
