My ultimate Santa's list: expect the unexpected. I have a story to tell about my Santa list.
My birthday is close to Christmas, growing up in Italy where we celebrate as much as we do here for Thanksgiving, I had to defend my birthday like a lioness (my hair was my best ally). I have consistently taken the list of items seriously and more seriously, ending up being an expert of high low, dolls and toys,
TIME.
I want to slow time, to make it count, I want to be present, appreciate the party, lose the shoe and wait for the Prince to arrive with the other one.
BTW: do we want to talk about series 2 of The Crown, like, especially, episode 4 when Princess Margaret meets Snowdon? Or is it just for Matthew Goode, crickey!
Dear prince,
whomever you are, may the crystal slippers be these Kokosar's Paciotti by Midnight, ok?
A DOWNTOWN VIBE
I feel for some black leather and a romantic fire escape meet up with a neighbor, walking blocks instead of being stuck in traffic for hours. I want that chic style you find on the street like Bill Cunningham would find on his favorite corner of 5th Ave.
VELVET
JOAN DIDION
I want to write like her, think like her, find my soulmate like her, live somewhere in Venice Beach like her.
GIVE
I find more and more happiness in giving as a form of receiving.
My top 3 if you were prompted to donate, but needed guidance:
A NECK-PARTY WORTH A FIORUCCI WINDOW
Ignore this underage irresistible #Coachellagoals and if you can, focus on the the Little Lux necklace, I have found them in the Man Repeller gift guide and boy, Santa Baby, last minute appeal, I think I need one before the end of the year.
To complete the '80s child vibe, check The Fox Pomona
2017 IS OVER
Because a lady must speak her mind. And honestly, we got enough of this 2017, and not that we have anything against you, but boy ... from the bottom of my heart, leave us in peace already.
Good riddance.
