The holidays are about love, family, and happiness, NOT presents.  But that doesn’t mean that presents aren’t fun!  I love buying gifts for my loved ones, and receiving ain’t bad either!  Here’s what I’d love to get this year, *hint hint* mom and dad…

Beachwaver PRO – I love a good hair day, and I’m lucky enough that I usually have one.  I’ve been itching to try out this Allure “Best of Beauty” winner that gave all the Victoria’s Secret models their perfect hair for the VS Fashion Show this year.

H&M Beachy Keen Salt Water Cream – I have been itching to try out H&M’s new beauty products; they’ve debuted to rave reviews!  A lot of beauty editors have been touting this product as the winter version of a salt spray, giving your hair beachy perfection without the drying/color-harming effects of the salt.

Foreo Luna Mini Save the Sea Special Edition – This device is incredibly popular, and I love the little turtles on this one.  The proceeds go to Foreo’s Ocean Conservation Charity Partners, and I always love spending for a good cause!

MoroccanOil Candle – I use the oil on my hair, and I am addicted to the smell.  So of course I want my apartment to smell as delicious!

The Academy New York “THIS AIN’T NO DISCO EMBROIDERED TEE” – This T is the perfect mix of casual and unique, and the quote is from one of my favorite feel-good songs, Talking Heads’ “Life During Wartime.”

Topshop Velvet Tie-Neck Plunge Top – Chokers and skinny scarves have been all over the world’s most stylish people, and I want in!  I’ve been having a velvet obsession lately, so this top kills two birds with one stone.

Private Party Mermaid Swimsuit – I was so much happier ditching bikinis in favor of one-pieces all summer.  As an added bonus, they’ve been in style, but I don’t really care either way, because I feel really good about myself wearing them.  I would LOVE to add this one to my collection; Little Mermaid is my favorite movie of all time, after all.  And if this bathing suit happened to come with a one-way ticket to Turks&Caicos, I wouldn’t complain about that, either!

Private Party Santa Baby Sweatshirt – I love this sweatshirt for a few reasons: 1) Clearly, I love the holiday season and cheer and 2) this is one of my favorite Christmas songs.

Aquazzura Wild Thing Sandals in Red – I’ve been coveting these for months now, and I don’t think I’ll ever find a statement heel cuter and more chic.  If you’re out there, Fairy Godmother, these are my glass slippers!

Stuart Weitzman Highland Boots – Every It Girl needs a pair of over-the-knee boots in her closet, and these are the creme de la creme.  If only I had $800…

SOOOO if anyone wants to buy me a present, now you have some subtle hints, haha!  Happy shopping!
