My (Outragous) Christmas List

As long as I can remember, I have been creating Christmas wishlists of all the items I can think of. Yes, I know it's a little bit early, but  it's that time of year again. As I've gotten older, I realize that my lists have gradually become more outrageous and expensive. I figure that since it's only a wishlist, I can be as outrageous as I want, you know? Last year I started including pictures of my most favorite items such as riding boots. Let's just say my family didn't let this roll over well. It was the family joke for weeks. ;) 
This year I started writing my list pretty early, (I think in September) and it was pretty much an ongoing list on my phone. Now, I must admit, this year I had no restraints. I just about wrote everything I remembered I had liked at one point or another. Now, are you ready? Here you go guys.....
(It's a work in progress)
 Wish list
Corso como "stirrup" riding boots in light brown

Nine West Lavalu Smoking slippers in gold
Hunters gloss rain boots in graphite
Cable knit socks ^^
Jack Rogers Navajo sandals in platinum
Ll bean duck boots 8" in tan and brown

Clothes:
Cable knit sweater-oatmeal, cream or navy(gap)
Vineyard vines shep shirt - lobster, gingham or stripe
Lilly pulitzer Kaleb or Cassie dress
Jcrew Excursion quilted vest-navy, pink or cream
Old navy quilted barn vest-army green, canvas or fuchsia islands
Barbour jacket-waxed cotton
Patagonia Re-tool Snap t fleece-deep berry
Fair isle sweater-h&m
Small gingham shirt in pink or navy
Vineyard vines-Lobster crew neck sweater
Patagonia down vest

Misc.
Vineyard vines gift card
iTunes gift card
Jcrew gift card

When my mom saw the Barbour jacket on the list, she was actually embarrassed.*insert blushing emoji here* But then, I reasoned that it was only my wishlist and by no means did it give anyone an obligation to buy anything from this list and she relented. 
Now, there are some things on this list that I am beyond in love with and others that I sorta love. I LOVE the Corso Como Riding boots in luggage and the Jcrew Excursion vests and their more affordable counterpart, the Old Navy vests. I am also in love with the shep shirt, especially in lobster. I mean, how adorable is that?! I know this list might seem like a little much, but it's a wish list, right? It's meant to be crazy. If I receive only one of the items from this list, I'll be elated. It's the thought that counts, right?

With love, 
Samantha

  1. I love your picks! I think a Barbour jacket is a must-or a J. Crew waxed jacket is a much more affordable version! And a pair of riding boots (or Hunter wellies) are perfect for colder days! I love pairing riding boots with tights and a vest with layers and layers! Great picks!
