dear santa 2016

What I love most about my seven-year-old's Christmas list this year are his postscripts to Santa Claus (above). Because they're brimming with innocence and faith. Plus a little lobbying, and it also appears that he has a little more faith in grandma than me?! The bottom line is it's positive thinking at its purest. (Meanwhile my fourth grader reported this morning that he used Google Earth to scan the entire North Pole looking for Santa's headquarters and found nothing. Hmmm...) All this gift-getting anticipation has me thinking about what I'd like Santa to bring me. For starters, I'd love this new cookbook from my friend/fellow blogger Virginie Degryse, who specializes in super tasty and healthy family meals. Everyday bling would also be welcome in the form of these Sarah Chloe personalized rings (I'd put my kids' names on them), this Yvonne Leon diamond and opal earring and this Anne Sisteron rose gold bracelet. I'm bananas about this mid-century light fixture, which I'd like to hang over my dining table and this piece of eye-popping art from Kindah Khalidy. I'd love to take this Johanna Ortiz blouse and this Splendid one-shoulder tee on my next tropical getaway. And this killer new Proenza Schouler bag to go with. Honestly, I'd be psyched with just one of these presents, but you know, there's always positive thinking...
