you say it’s your birthday!

happy birthday to me!  yep, it’s the best day of the year – the holiday i don’t have to share with anyone else, when everyone has to do exactly what i say, and when calories evaporate into thin air (or at least, that’s how it goes in my head).  to celebrate, i couldn’t resist sharing a few things that have been drifting around my wishlist this year…you know, just in case the birthday fairy is watching.  if nothing else, think of it as a little birthday porn for yours truly.

i’ve been after a new pair of silver earrings for a while, and i think this pair from page sargisson – a perennial favorite of mine – would be a perfect wear-every-day addition to my jewelry box.

i can’t seem to buy this title for myself, but i’ve been dying to take a closer look at the infamous auction of yves saint laurent’s legendary personal effects that took place after his death least year.  having the big, bound, glossy version of the sale would be almost as good as having actually been there.

i’ve fallen pretty hard for just about everything designed by aesa.  they just have this organic, almost haphazard quality i adore.  i’d honestly take any piece i could get my hands on, but this necklace is particularly lovely.

i know it’s a little domestic to want a baking dish for my birthday, but in reality, i want several.  this one from sagaform (at the always amazing huset) is one of those i envision living in my kitchen until i’m old and grey.  what better way to ‘celebrate’ getting old than to buy myself an heirloom in the making?

and this summer vegetable bowl from heath ceramics has had me swooning ever since it was released this spring.  i’m desperately hoping i’ll be able to display it on my thanksgiving table this year.

more jewelry, i know, but this teardrop ruby ring from christine mighion is literally haunting me.  i’ve been wanting the perfect right hand ring for years now, but haven’t been able to even consider another choice since i first spotted this one.  it just belongs on my finger, plain and simple.

these crazy silver-and-neon flats by angeline tournier are just so much fun, i can’t even stand it.  i know they’re more summer than fall, but i still think they’re fabulous.  now that they’re 50% off, maybe i deserve to get myself a little birthday surprise!

and of course, what kind of list would this be without a scarf?  this one from couverture is uncharacteristically inexpensive for my typical taste, but i love the bright orange!

last, but certainly not least, i’ve been dying to try these decadent sugardaddy’s brownies since i saw them waste my darling bobby flay on throwdown.  i’d take a tower of these over a birthday cake any day!

yum!  have a great day, everyone…i’ll be off gorging on cake and cappucinos!

    My new nail friend! I figured only appropriate to post in the birthday section as we discovered we both share the Virgo sign and a love for the monthly pedicure. Great blog! Great taste! See you next month? Happy Birthday!

    The right hand ring is a must purchase — beautiful!!!
