my birthday wishlist

here it is, my fabulous birthday wishlist.  since this is my final year of my 20's, i want to make it a good one.  that includes good gifts too!  

+ i have asked for toms shoes every single christmas and birthday for the past 4 years and still have never owned any.  i've informed the mister that this year i will be getting a pair... grey, size 5.  you're welcome shoeless child in an impoverished country who will also be getting a pair of shoes for my birthday!

+ a really cute watch.  have you tried looking for watches?  it's really hard to find nice ones, at least nice ones that match my style.  a watch is a pretty essential thing to have when you're a therapist though.  so far i've found these two which i spotted on ruche.  aren't they sweet and feminine?  they'd match all my warm therapy outfits.

+ more vinyl for our collection. for some reason, listening to records at night is highly associated with autumn and winter.  since summer will be coming to a close in a couple months {it doesn't really end in CA until october}, i've been feeling the cravings for vinyl.  i'm thinking the new beirut album, the black keys, or the national. yay music!!!

+ yellow curry with tofu and a thai salad with peanut sauce from banana house in san francisco, my favorite restaurant ever.  i used to eat there once a day when i worked around the corner, but now i only get it when we take trips back home.  since a 12 hour roundtrip drive is probably not going to happen on my birthday, i am hoping someone will package it all up in amazingly secure containers and overnight it to me.  

+ jewelry isn't usually a big deal to me, but i've fallen pretty hard for the sweet delicate pieces from upper metal class.  Love!
{by the way, 100% of the proceeds for the bracelet will benefit japan, and it's customizable so you don't have to get it in red}

so there you go dannon... i mean, blog readers.  :)
also the other day someone asked which day my birthday was on - it's the 25 of august {holler!}.

    Loving the birthday wishes you have picked - they are great - my fave must be the watch or the yellow curry - sounds delish.

    i've heard that TOMS need to be bought a half size down because they stretch!
    just fyi!
    :)
    hope you get all you want for your birthday

    Regarding Morgan's comment, my corduroy pair stretched, but my canvas pair hasn't (yet). And I wore them for two years before replacing them, but you might have to glue the sole back down a few times.

    It would be pretty great if someone was able to mail you that meal! I wonder how well it could possibly, work though...

    oh crap, this reminds me to get moving on my birthday list. (1st of September, hello fellow virgo!).

    If you don't end up getting the Toms please let me know. They are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned and I think you need to have a pair. Seriously, let me know :-)

    Yay! So glad you are planning to treat yourself. You so deserve it!

    I do love delicate jewelry like those. And Tom's? I could wear them everyday. No joke! They are seriously the best pair of shoes I have ever owned.

    Great list! I love the idea of getting Toms for you birthday and a child getting shoes as well. It's a gift that keeps on giving.

    I know what you mean about watches. That's why, when I find one I love (and is in my price range) I snatch it right up. I sure hope your birthday will be all that you desire and more! So happy to know you. :)
