• Madewell Transport Tote –  I want this to be my diaper bag!  I bought an insert that makes it easy to transform any bag into a diaper bag–I’ve had my eye on this one for awhile!
• Baby’s First Year Memory Book –  I love that this seems easy to keep up with, plus it’s so so darling!
• bareMinerals Original Foundation – My absolute favorite everyday foundation.  Love to stock up on my essentials at Christmastime!

• 2016 Rifle Paper Co. Appointment Calendar – We have lots of appointments coming up in 2016 with baby’s arrival in just a few weeks!

FOR HIM: 
Timberland Boots – the perfect warm weather boot that doesn’t look like a weird rainboot for men, but a practical stylish shoe. 
Express Wool Peacoat – camel colored coats reserved for investigators no more!
OYO Whiskey Set – Limited edition batch 002 Oloroso Wheat Whiskey was released just last week. and we want it.

  

• CREED Royal Mayfair – The notes of Scottish Highland Pine, Windsor Roses, and Canadian Cedar immediately got my attention the moment I smelled it!  I would love this to become part of my fragrance collection even if it’s a men’s cologne!
• J. Crew Collection Double Breasted Blazer – I have been on the hunt for the perfect blazer to wear to work.  This brunswick blue beauty from J. Crew would be PERFECT with any piece from my closet!
• Loren Hope Siren Studs – These deep sea studs add just enough glam to any outfit !
• Kate Spade “If I do Say So Myself” Notebook – I try to find cute notebooks for work even though I seem to plow right through them, and I think this navy Kate Spade one is a keeper 🙂
• Ralph Lauren Cashmere Beret – Mrs. Ladylike does like classic pieces, so it’s only natural that this cashmere beret makes its way into her winter accessory arsenal!

• Festive Tie-Up Heels: As much as my feet hate me for it, I’m 100% a heel girl. I’ve had my heart set on a tie-up pair for awhile, and these metallic shoes make me want to use the heart eye emoji ten times. They’d be perfect for a holiday party paired with a LBD or red party dress.
• Black Faux Leather Jacket – A black faux leather jacket adds a bit of edge to any look, can be dressed up or down, and is the perfect addition to a girl’s closet. If you ask me, it’s a must!
• A Lacey Boho Dress – Free People knows a thing or two about “boho-chic.” I’m convinced they invented it. This lacey dress is so pretty, and could easily be worn all-year round.
• Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick – Bobbi Brown is a genius who knows the secret to creating the perfect highlighter. Her shimmer bricks give the most gorgeous glow. I don’t typically splurge on makeup, but when I do, it’s Bobbi all the way!
• Floating shelf – I’ve been really into decorating my apartment lately. I’m all about a space that’s bright and inviting — and that involves white walls, wood floors and lots of plants. This floating shelf is the coolest, and I can easily see it hanging in the corner by a window.

• Goddess Ribbed Legging for Studio B classes via Carbon 38 – I am totally obsessed with Studio B Wellness, where I teach and take barre in GV. I am currently coveting the Goddess Ribbed Legging via Carbon 38 to spice up my barre wardrobe with just enough texture to make them feel special every time I put them on!
• The Claire Ring in Rose Gold from One Six Five Jewelry – Is there anything more perfect than a delicate ring in rose gold? I can’t get enough of The Claire Ring in Rose Gold from One Six Five Jewelry. I love when a piece of jewelry can effortlessly go from casual to dressed-up, and this one is perfect paired with jeans and a t, or a holiday party LBD. 
• Gift Certificate to Cherbourg Bakery – My Saturday isn’t complete without a cup of pour-over and a gluten free breakfast treat from Cherbourg. This place is magic & every Saturday that we can, my hubby and I get there when the doors open at 7 for a quiet (& delish!) weekend morning ritual. I can’t think of anything I would rather give or get than a​ Gift Certificate to Cherbourg bakery​! Their treats also make the perfect hostess gift for a holiday gathering.
• J. Crew Jumpsuit – The beauty of a jumper is that it has all the ease of a dress with all the comfort of pants. I have a few casual jumpers, but I am ready to take the relationship to the next level with ​the perfect holiday jumper, like this ​silky, gold-flecked crossover jumpsuit via J. Crew.
• Pomander Candle via Diptyque – The first time I stepped in a Diptyque store, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. To me, Diptyque’s ​Pomander candle is the epitome of Christmas. I love to burn it in our home and love to gift it to friends & family!​
• Hemsley & Hemsley’s The Art of Eating Well – Wouldn’t it be fun to give the gift of healthy, nourishing, beautiful, delicious food to everyone you loved? That is what I feel like I am doing when I gift Hemsley & Hemsley’s The Art of Eating Well. This cookbook, curated by the inspiring Hemsley sister’s is a work of art while still including accessible and mouthwatering recipes! I love seeing someone I care about unwrap this gift, which I keep out in my kitchen at all times!
• Handmade Weave by Joslyn Winkler – My BFF is an incredible artists and recently started hosting weaving workshops around Chicago and selling her gorgeous weavings on Etsy! Her handmade pieces are perfect to soften a collage wall or workspace. I love that each weaving is unique, and this Neutral/Peach is my absolute favorite!

• Scuba Hoodie III – Lululemon – This is my favorite hoodie of ALL time (I’m embarrassed to admit I already have it in two colors!) But it’s my go-to in the fall and winter months for when I’m out running around or having a lazy day at home.

• Sweater Coat by Lubna Designs – When you combine a leather sleeve and a long grey knit, it’s just asking to be added to my wishlist! Available at Glam356 Columbus (Call boutique for pricing).

• Codenames – I run the Beers and Boars Games Club of Columbus so I play a LOT of games but this one is my current favorite. Give your teammates one word that will clue them into where your agents are hiding, but be sure to avoid words that might lead to the other team’s agents! A super fun social word game.

• These Are Things Columbus Map – There are so many cool prints of Columbus and Ohio, especially at stores like Celebrate Local, but I’ve had my eye on this “These Are Things Columbus Neighborhoods map” for a few years now.
• Spiegelau Glasses – Having done several taste tests of beer in Spiegelau’s style-specific beer glasses versus other glassware, I am a believer. Spiegelau’s IPA, stout and wheat glasses make a big difference in enjoying beer, so do your beer a favor and pour it in the proper glass.

• Grill – This grill is everything. For someone like me who doesn’t have a huge patio, it’s the perfect size. Warning: me wanting this grill does not mean I’ve learned to cook, I’m still clueless, but maybe this will help?! It can be purchased at Target for $169.
• Prada Sunnies / Membership to Ditto – These sunnies have been on my wish list for a looong time now, but the problem is: I break/lose/sit on my sunglasses so often I can’t reconcile purchasing them. So, my wish is not just for these sunglasses, but for a membership to Ditto so I can rent them and a bunch of others for just $24/month. Win!

• Food Over Medicine: The Conversation That Could Save Your Life – Dr. Pamela Popper, the science editor behind Forks Over Knives, is a Columbus native and she played a key role in inspiration behind my plant-based life-style. I can’t wait to sit down with a cup of coffee and dive into her latest!

•  Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 Instant Camera (Urban Outfitters) – Shake it like a Polaroid picture – cues OutKast song. I truly enjoy the vintage feel of Polaroid photos so having the Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 Instant Camera was a must-have for my Christmas list. It not only brings back old memories, but will create new ones as well. Forget the selfie stick! Buy this for the inner child in you.
•  The Manhattan Cocktail Case – If you’ve ever had a good cocktail, you may have a sparked curiosity on how to create one, am I right? My recent travels to the Southern Caribbean created the newfound love I have for beautifully-made and crafted cocktails so of course I need the Manhattan Cocktail Case to begin my journey.
•  Poor Sparrow Turquoise Necklace – Looking for something new? Why not add this handmade necklace to your jewelry collection? I slightly favor the color turquoise, but even so – I’m still in love with the style, look and beauty it can bring to an outfit.
