    Wish List II



    One Line A Day Journal
    $16
    I need this because I've been using Facebook as a mini diary. Each day I write a short paragraph about what happened and I make it my status. For example, on Saturday, my status was: "Today: Starbucks x3. Wore a tie. Had a fabulous time at my soon-to-be sister-in-law's bridal shower! After wards, shopping w/ Kristin. 3 pencil skirts. 1 cardigan. 1 blouse. Driving & singing along to Buble's newest CD while trying to avoid hitting the cheap costume's running about the streets. Highlight: seeing my brother dressed up as Johnny Cash. Watching "Criminal Minds" show. So happy about gaining that xtra hr."

    Pictorial Webster's: A Visual Dictionary of Curiosities
    $34 - Is it possible to unite the tastes of scientists, art fanatics, and vintage shoppers into one hard-bound book?

Use this refrence guide to impress friends by dropping the names of anything from an acipenser sterlet to a zeppelin!

    Silk Pinspot Dress
    Choosing a lovely dress to wear in the run up to Christmas is one of the unsung rituals that make this time of year so special. This is the perfect dress for looking elegant and beautiful amidst the tinsel.
    125 pounds - For the "Iris" look in the film "The Holiday". Paired with a set of pearls.


    Burnished-leather belt

    POSH.

    Q: What does "POSH" stand for?

    A: A little known bit of trivia, the word posh actually began as an acronym. It all started at the turn of the last century when there was considerable steamship traffic between England and India. The wealthy passengers would book their cabins on the Port side of the ship going Out of England and on the Starboard side of the ship for the return journey Home.

    This kept them safely out of the blistering sun while making the 30-plus day journey into the sweaty climes of the Indian sub-continent. Tickets were stamped P.O.S.H. (for Port Out Starboard Home) and people began using the acronym as a word to describe luxury travel and elegant accommodations.

    "Right after the New Year, we're traveling posh to India."
