“What I want Wednesday” is a common theme throughout a lot of the fashion blogs I follow. I am not a fashionista but I can definitely get on board with telling the general public things I want in hopes  someone (lookin’ at you hubbyboo) will buy me something. It’s like the Secret – if you don’t put it out there how can you expect to receive? With Valentines Day just around the corner I figure today is the day to start! So without further ado:

1. Vitamix: Nothing screams romance like a blender. However, I keep telling myself this is the secret to the healthy lifestyle I so desperately want. Only $600 separates me and my ideal swimsuit body. Also, doubles as a baby food maker.

2. Santa put this Tory Burch perfume in my stocking 2 years ago and it quickly became my “scent” I’m fresh out and need to re-stock ASAP.

3. Kate Spade Clutch. I love this clutch and its sneaky little pocket in the front. I’ve got to hand it to Kate Spade’s marketing group – they’ve disguised the labor they’ve outsourced to Rwanda as a charity project empowering women with skills that enable them to provide for their families. Tomato, Tamato.

4. Francesca’s Swim Cover Up: The hubbyboo is taking me to Hawaii for a babymoon and I think this cover up is a necessity. However, I’m having a hard time imagining a 26-week pregnant belly under that cover up…

5. Kate Spade Attitude Sandal: Love the style – fancy birkenstockish, love the color and love that they will probably fit fat squishy feet so I don’t have the same footwear problems as Kim Kardashian when I’m 8 months pregnant.

6. Sam Edelman Flats: The likely hood of me wearing heels anytime for the next 9 months is right up there with the chances of me becoming the queen of England. I think these flats are a nice alternative to my standard wedges. Flat & fancy, who knew that was a possibility!

7. Kate Spade Serena Sneakers: A vans style slip on named Serena makes me picture Serena Van Der Woodsen as a skater girl – a contradiction if I’ve ever heard one. These are the perfect slip-ons for the those days (weeks, months) where your pedi is just not on point.

8. Kate Spade Gold Espadrilles: Kate. Spade. Gold. Espadrilles. Enough Said.

You might have noticed a Kate Spade trend in my list and that’s because my sister-cousin Dani works at Kate Spade and I feel it is my duty to do what I can to keep her gainfully employed. Go to Kate Spade at La Encantada in Tucson and buy everything from her. Thanks.
