Guest Wish List | Fab You Bliss

A huge thank you to our friend, Stephanie, for taking the time to write a Guest Wish List!!  It was supposed to go live on Friday, but taking a newborn on his first weekend away proved to be a bit more time consuming than we thought - lol :)  This is a happy bonus for a Monday though!!

Hi friends. I’m Stephanie from Fab You Bliss. Thank you for letting me drop by to share my wish list with you while Amanda is out on maternity leave. I always have a long list of things I want. So narrowing down to just four items was a bit of a challenge. But it was fun as well because who doesn’t love dreaming about items they wish to have, right?

1)  On the top of my list right now is this Mystic Tie back bib necklace. Isn’t it so pretty?

2)  Next up is this Lela Rose polka dot dress. It is so feminine and pretty and right up my alley. I’m a sucker for girly, girl outfits.

3)  I’m always on the search for a good pair of boots. These ones from Ruche are a great looking pair. They’d go nicely with the polka dot dress and bib necklace too! Hmm?

4)  And finally, this Paris Je t'aime iPhone Case is an absolute need! Paris is where my husband and I got engaged. So having a cute iPhone case like this would be perfect and sentimental for me!

Since this is my birthday week, I’m hoping I might get one or all of these as a gift(s). Wouldn’t that be great? My expectations aren’t high or anything, right? Haha!

Jami's Current Wish List | Hart Of Dixie

As most of you already know I have an obsession with One Tree Hill (which was on the CW) and it has gone off the air after nine years, so now I had to find a new show and I came upon Hart of Dixie (which is also on the CW) - it is a fabulous show. It has Rachel Bilson (who was also played on The OC--which was another favorite of mine), so naturally I fell in love!! So my wish list is based on Hart of Dixie clothes worn by Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson) and Lemon Breeland (Jaime King).

All of my information came from Wornontv.net.

There were just too many favorites to only choose 4 for this Wish List ;)

1) Rebecca Taylor Glitter Print Peplum from Season 2, Episode 6 on Zoe - $265

2) Sweet Lace Tee from Season 2, Episode 6 on Lemon - $26.60 - I love this color!! Pair it with a cute belt and some boots!!

3) Dinah Print Dress from Season 2, Episode 5 on Zoe - $242

4) Lace Share Top from Season 2, Episode 4 on Lemon - $49.99 - I love this lace top!!

6) Vena Cava Square Print Halter Top from Season 2, Episode 7 on Zoe - $149 - Pair this with a black or brown skirt and it will be fabulous!!

7) Sequin and Again Top from Season 2, Episode 4 on Zoe - $34.99

Wish List | LC Lauren Conrad Clothing

I'm completely in love with the LC Lauren Conrad line at Kohl's!  I just can't get enough :)

1) Black Lace Satin Dress - $38.40 - Little Black Dress for a Little Black Tie Affair!!
2) Crochet Dolman Top - $24

Caitlin's Current Wish List | Bucket List

My current wish list features a few of the things that I want to accomplish before I kick the bucket ;) They include exploring the great outdoors, meeting my favorite singer and challenging myself to push new limits!

1) I would love to see the Northern Lights! Such a beautiful, natural phenomenon!
2) A huge goal of mine is to hike a portion of the Appalachian Trail.
3) Of course I would absolutely love to meet my favorite swooner, Mr. Michael Buble!
4) Finally, I think it would be such a great experience to finish, at least, the Cleveland Half Marathon! I've got some training to do ;)

Amanda's Current Wish List | Master Bedroom Finishes

These last few touches would perfectly complete our Master Bedroom Redesign!!

1)  Multi-mat Frames - I've had my eye on these for a while, they would be perfect to frame all of the photo goodness that is to come of Baby C!!

2)  Seagrass Rattan Hamper - Our current hamper has seen better days - this one would be a great replacement!

3)  Elaine Accent Chair - In absolute love with this!!!

4)  Vintage Charm Wooden Stool - I currently sit on the floor in front of the mirror in our room to do my makeup (a habit I have had since my middle school years) and having a stool to sit on instead would make my life much easier.  Though this is something that would have made my pregnancy even easier, lol!!

Top Five Posts of 2012 | Caitlin's Picks

With much deliberation, I have finally settled on the following as my picks for the Top Five posts of 2012! They were all good, but I'm all about the posts with lots of pictures! Especially pictures of pretty things :)

1}  Trash the Bridesmaid Dress Shoot - I absolutely love this post! Mainly because I totally wish I could have been there! It looks like they're having so much fun just being goofy and, on top of it, they got some amazing pictures in the end. I mean, what else are you gonna do with that old bridesmaid dress that's been sitting in your closet for years?

2}  Behind the Scenes of Our Chevron Inspired Shoot - This post is a lot of fun to read because it really gives you a behind the scenes look at how much work goes into the photo shoots. Plus, it's cool to see the whole thing come together from start to finish :)

Caitlin's Current Wish List | Dream Wedding

Just like every other girl in the world, I have been planning my wedding since I was 14 years old. It doesn't mean we're crazy, just that we like to plan ahead ;) So here is a small look at the kind of wedding I have swirling around my head at the moment. Enjoy!

1)  Purple bridesmaids dresses - This shade of purple is my absolute favorite!
2)  Bridal bouquets - Mixing different shades of one color is so pretty!
3)  Center Pieces and menu - Gold and brown adds warmth to the purple.
4)  Bride and groom seat signs - Vintage and classy.

Caitlin's Wish List | Winter Workout

Hey all! I love to hit the gym but sometimes it's great to get outside and exercise. With winter quickly approaching, here's some cool outdoor gear to keep you warm and stylin' during your outdoor run :)

1) Under Armor Compression Pants - These conform to your body for easy movement and keep your legs nice and toasty!

Caitlin's Current Wish List | Fall Fashions

Hello there! I'm Caitlin, the new Baci Intern and I'm really excited to be getting my start in event planning here at Baci Designer. I'm a recent graduate from Wilmington College and am eager to start my career.

My first blog post will be a wish list of fall apparel! Which means it's time to bust out those super cute cardigans and boots, Ladies :) Lately, vintage inspired fashions have become a huge hit and I totally agree! That's why I have chosen the products in this wish list. They are modern designs with a vintage twist. Enjoy!

 

1. This mint and brown handbag was my inspiration for the whole wishlist! It's so feminine and functional at the same time.

2. These boot socks are a brilliant idea and the lace and buttons at the top are to die for! As much as i wear my fall riding boots, I should definitely invest in a pair of these socks :)

3. I am all about lace these days! This white lace blazer ads softness to an otherwise very structured look.

4. These mint earrings top off the outfit especially if you're sporting the mint handbag as well. They are very vintage!

NOTO | Guest Wish List

We have a very special Guest Wish List for you today - one of my favorite local ladies, Lauren from the fabulous downtown boutique, NOTO!!  As you can imagine, Lauren is quite the fashionista so I was thrilled to see what she was wishing for and she certainly did not disappoint :o)  She's always full of fabulous ideas and has the most impeccable style - her wish list choices definitely reflect her personality well!

Here is my wish list - this was way too fun/easy!

My theme is - Wanted for the home. :)

1) A Teepee - So magical. I think our family needs a teepee asap.

2) Blooming Rose Robe - This lovely robe stole my heart.

3) Ikea Area Rug - I have been checking in on this rug for some time now. It would totally amp-up my living room. Now if I can only convince my husband. . .

4) Bodom French Press - I consider myself a coffee connoisseur and I seriously believe my coffee would taste better if I owned this. :)

Amanda's Current Wish List | Anthropologie in the Living Room

It's been way too long since I've done a wish list myself. . . and you know I am still wishing for things, lol ;o)  I've been thinking a lot recently about getting a few new things for our living/dining room and I thought why not combine my need for updates with my love for all things Anthropologie!  Enjoy!!

1)  Celestial Coasters in Pink Panther - Peach is one of my favorite colors and I think adding a nice pop of it into our living room would be fabulous. . . plus our current coasters are seriously worthless, lol!

2)  Cotswold Bench Ottoman - In preparation for future babies (no, I'm not pregnant!), I'd like to swap out our coffee table for a gorgeous ottoman like this one - heavenly!

3)  Decker Bookshelf - I've been looking for a rustic bookshelf like this for years, now if only I could find one I could afford!

4)  Forestry Guard Knob Owl - We have an old china cabinet in our dining room and I love it, but it's hardware needs a serious update - these cute little owls would provide the perfect whimsical touch!

Brittany's Wish List | Graduation

With less that 2 months until graduation, (AH!) I've put together a few items that might help me out with my future endeavors!

1) Sony Cyber-Shot 14.1 - Megapixel Digital Camera - Pink from Sony - $119.99 - After four long years, my poor old camera probably needs a replacement.  Over 4000 pictures can do a lot to ya...
2) Personalized Cosmetic Bag - Pink Waffle Weave from PersonalizationMall.com - $19.95 - I should probably look more professional when I travel and have my cosmetics in something nicer looking than my High School Musical pencil case; even if Zac Efron will always have my heart. :)
3) Lenox Picture Frame, Best Wishes Graduation from Macy's - $29.99 - Since my apartment is already completely filled with pictures of all my memories, I'm going to need a graduation picture frame - I mean obviously. :)
4) Pamper Her Spa Gift Tower from 1800baskets.com - $69.99 - After I come to the full reality that I'm in the real world now and will no longer be able to sleep in til 10 am, take 3 hour naps in the middle of the afternoon and go places in my sweats - I'm going to need a night of relaxation.

My Birthday Wish List

As every woman approaches the fast growing age (of 25) she begins to ponder what things she could possibly need (besides more shoes). She could ask for something mature (like an alarm clock for her big girl job--but she won't) or maybe even something for her happily married self (like a new blender, but what's the chances of using that). 

So as this girl turns 25 today, she will ask for more items she does't necessarily need but TOTALLY wants :)

1) Under Armour Fleece Capri's from Finishline- $34.99 - I have been on a huge kick with checking out Under Armour on Finishline's site and I love everything!!!

2) Nikon Coolpix Camera from Best Buy- $229.99 - I want a good, small camera that I can take to concerts or the bars. I have heard good things about this camera, so hopefully it won't let me down. 

3)Apple ipod touch from Best Buy - $189.99 - A new and improved ipod would be lovely, especially for lunch breaks at work, I could listen or play on my ipod. 

4) Under Armour Full Zip Jacket from Finishline - $55.99 - I love Under Armour, nothing more to say :)

Wish List | Things I Didn't Get For Christmas

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!!! I was very blessed this Christmas with wonderful friends and family. The presents I received were wonderful, especially a beautiful piece of jewelry from my husband from Stambaugh Jewelers (our favorite place to shop, ha, or maybe just mine!!). 

I am putting together my Wish List of things I always want, but never have enough money to buy :)

1) Green Amethyst Bangle Bracelet from Stambaugh Jewelers - Most beautiful piece of jewelry, but I would get it with all white gold. 

2) Canon EOS Rebel T3i from Best Buy - $899.99 - I wanted this camera 2 years ago and I'm still hoping for it one day.

3) Women's Muroc Jacket from Under Armour - $129.99 - Wonderful coat for working out when outside, not too heavy but not too light. Perfect. 

4) Nike Free Run from Nike - $90 - Shoes, Shoes, Shoes....I love them, need I say more!!

Enjoy and Happy Holidays!!!

Handpicked | A Man's Wishlist

Here I am again, letting you all know some of the products that exist out there for the special guy in your life. Some of these products I personally own and others would be nice to have. I have a few things for the handyman, the party-er, and/or the "geek" in your life. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but some of these products may spark additional ideas when Holiday Shopping.

1) Craftsman 154 piece Mechanics Tool Set - $99.99 - I personally own one of these ... received it as a wedding gift from the parents of one of my friends. I LOVE this tool set and use it all the time! This tool set has come in handy so many times when completing work on one of our cars. This tool set has everything organized and makes everything easy to find. Additionally, the set is mobile thanks for the hard case. If your man is not handy on the car, this tool set may spark a new interest in learning.
2) PUMA Pulse Watch - $85.00 - If you have a runner, athlete, or someone who likes to work out in your life, chances are he would be interested in his heart rate when engaged in one of those activities. Teamed up with a smartphone app such as Endomondo or Nike+ your guy will have all the information he needs when working out.
3) Leather Excursion Travel Case - $129.95 - I have a similar case and it has earned its place in my travel bag. This bag will organize of your man's (and your) toiletries while being stylish and small enough to take up little space in your luggage. Additionally, the hook at the top allows him (or you) to take the bag into the restroom to hang without having to take all of the products out of the bag.
4) Cigar Humidor - $89.95 - Does your man smoke cigars? If so, he definitely needs a humidor. He'll love you (even more) for it!
5) Mr. Beer Premium Home Brewery / Wine Making Kit - $49.95 / $179.95 - Have a guy who enjoys having a drink, but is also a 'do-it-yourself-er'? Why not let him do both?
6) DODOCASE iPad Case - $59.95 - I have a DODOCASE for my iPad. It is hand made from a company in California. It is made "using traditional book binding techniques" and I get compliments from everyone who sees it. The company keeps you updated on the progress of your case and let you know when it is ready to be sent to you.
*Note : Case for the iPad 2 will not allow for use of the rear camera when in the case. Explanation here.
7) 6DollarShirts - $6.00/each - The only problem is narrowing down the number of shirts you decide to buy, but they are only $6.00 so go for it!
8) WIRED Magazine - varies - I have had a Wired subscription for over a year now and it is an excellent read throughout. Even Amanda says the magazine has an amazing layout and enjoys reading it, too!
*PS - A print subscription now includes access to the iPad version of the magazine!
9) CRKT Eat'N Tool - $7.99 - An excellent stocking-stuffer for the geek in your life that has everything. Make sure he is prepared for anything with this multi-tool.

I hope that these products have given you some new ideas for your guy. Many of these products could be substituted with other similar brands and may be found for different prices with a little searching. Either way, have fun shopping and enjoy the look of happiness on his face when he opens any of these gifts!
