It’s Moodboard Monday folks. And considering I’ll be turning the ripe old age of 28 in a couple of weeks, I thought I’d whip together my annual visual wishlist to pass around to those I can typically score presents out of, (wink wink..kb). I kid. I kid…

1. Hayden Harnett Welles Large Hobotote in Dusk: Truth be told, I bought this bag for myself back in June. I lusted over it for months, and finally broke down and bought the blasted thing, two coupon codes later. Sad to say, I still have not yet received it as there’s been some sort of production delay, so I’m anxiously awaiting its arrival. I love love love HH bags. I have two already. They’re super high quality and HH is a local Brooklyn vendor (everything is manufactured in Greenpoint).

2. Designerica Triple Starburst Two-Finger Ring in Gold: Available for purchase here. Kb bought this for me this past weekend. I met the designer Erica, who was an Industrial Design masters graduate from Pratt. She makes the molds for her jewelry from 3D printed forms that she designs in cad. Pretty neat. I’m such a design geek. 

3. Swedish Hasbeens High Jodhpur Boot in Navy: Again, an eterna-lust boot. I fall in love with one every fall.

4. Dwarf Meyer Lemon Tree: Available for purchase here. While I’m building up my back-porch garden, I’ve been itching to try something fruit bearing. I hear these guys are pretty hearty. Even my herbs couldn’t withstand this past summer, and died a pitiful wilted death.

5. Lillet Blanc Apertif Wine: Available for purchase here. I was introduced to Lillet by Kb’s grandfather. He drinks it by the (full) wine glass, sometimes with ice cubes, always with a huge cross-section of orange. The handful of times I’ve ordered it out, it comes in a teeny, eensy-weensy Lemoncello-sized glass. Not sure which way is in fact correct, although I have to say I love Lillet with anything sweet and dessert like.

6. Karen Walker Sunglasses Number 2 in Black: I love how giant these frames are like Ray-Bans on steroids. Raaaaar!
