Thank you Connie for sharing your wish list with us!

1) Jade Yoga Harmony Mat

This past year, I’ve made an effort for more balance between my work/personal life. I’m finding weekly yoga classes a great way to leave behind any stress of the day and just be present in the moment. A new yoga mat would help me get the started the year off on the right note! 

2) Heath Serving Platter in Sand

Every single piece by Heath Ceramics is simply beautiful. I love how the pieces are still handmade in their Sausalito factory. Every Heath piece I’ve collected is one I know I’ll have for a long time to come.

3) Jo Malone Orange Blossom Cologne

One of my favorite fragrances! It’s a beautiful floral that always makes me feel good. 

4) Apple iPhone 5

I’m hoping for the upgrade to an iPhone 5. Hello to better photos and Pinterest on the go (my latest app addiction)! 

5) Tory Burch Leather Eddie Bow Ballet Flat

I basically live in flats and have been coveting these since last year. What girl doesn’t need a little sparkle in her step? 

6) Vince Honeycomb Cardigan

This sweater is cozy, yet chic – ideal for all the cold winter days ahead.

7) Alexis Russell Pave Diamond + Turquoise Horn Necklace with gold chain

This is one of the newer designs from Alexis Russell. The sparkly diamond horn is balanced by the earthy turquoise – great for everyday wear.

8) Jonathan Adler Charade Studded Taper Vase

This vase is just cool. Flowers will soften the toughness of this studded design.

9) Gift Certificate to a Spa

Leaving behind emails and getting pampered for a few hours would be simply amazing! 

10) Linda & Harriett Calendar

I have a tradition of purchasing Linda & Harriett calendars for years now, and I’m never disappointed by the designer Liz Libre’s modern, colorful and whimsical designs. As a bonus - after the end of the month, you can tear away the postcard on the back – perfect for all the thank you notes I write on a monthly basis.  

Dear Santa.. The Inslee Haynes Edition

Have you seen these beauties floating around the internet?

Maybe you've seen her work for Neiman Marcus..

She's done two lookbooks for Jacques Levine..

And soon you'll see her creations on Dress It Up Dressing's jars!

You get it. She is an amazing artist.. and I've only named a few of her collaborations! 

Today's wish list is from Inslee Haynes, the creator of all things perfectly sketched and illustrated.

Inslee Haynes is the mastermind behind Inslee by Design. She currently lives in New York City, painting away in her new studio (congratulations!!). Yes, Inslee creates art for major brands, but luckily for us she sells prints, stationary, holiday cards.. and (take note because I don't know any working girl who wouldn't want this..) calendars! 

Her holiday cards will be cheer to all of your friends and family! This is my favorite..

It's perfect for jotting a quick note to let people know you're thinking about them this season.

Alright, I obviously could go on about how unbelievable Inslee's work is for days so let's get to her wish list!

1. Society Social Bar Cart 

I've been eyeing Roxie's beautiful carts for ever. Now that I finally have space in my apt (I'm working at a studio now, not at home!) I think it's time to fill the space with something beautiful and functional like the Sedgewick.

2. Loren Hope Gwyneth Necklace 

I always buy "statement necklaces" full of colored stones. And then I get home and realize they only work with one or two color-appropriate outfits. This necklace is great because it's more neutral.

3. Goyard St Louis Tote (can't find a link... obviously... why would goyard need to sell online haha)

Now that I'm "commuting" to work a whole seven blocks from my apartment to my studio, I find myself lugging changes of clothes, laptops, painting supplies, all sorts of things back and forth. This bag would be the perfect, chic, statement carry-all that would stand the test of time.

4. J.Crew Valentina Pumps - life time supply

I have these in black and haven't taken them off since I bought them. They are literally the perfect shoe. I want a life time supply of this shoe. 

5. Savon de Marseille Soap in Olive & Lavender

Love this liquid hand soap - the font, the scent, the way it feels. I can't wait to get home and wash my hands at the end of each day! This is a great stocking stuffer.

6. Ray Ban Erika Sunglasses

Sunglass designers will come and go, taking insane amounts of our money with them as we buy into trends. But Ray Ban will always be cool. Except when I loose my beloved pair after a solid decade of faithful wear!! So this Christmas I want to reinvest in my classic go to brand in this pretty new cut.

7. Le Creuset Dutch Oven

The lack of this cooking luxury device is the only thing standing between me and all the complicated french recipes I know I can totally figure out how to make.

8. Decorative Horns or Antlers 

I may not be a big game hunter, but I still think my apartment would look good with some tusks lying around.

9. PUPPIES 

No Christmas list is complete without one live animal request. I wouldn't say no to a bundle of joy, especially a miniature long haired dachshund.

10. Furbish Animal Magnets

I realize this is kind of random. But I hate ugly plastic refrigerator magnets. These are so cute!
