If I Were Oprah...

...these are the things that would be on

my favorite things show.

I love finding new favorite things. When I find them, I wish all my friends could have them too. Seriously.

Not just saying that.

If I were rich, I'd buy these for you guys.

Since I'm not... take my word that these things are GREEEAAATTTT!!!!

I'm really into cute vintage finds for my house. And no store is better for cool things like that than the one and only Anthropologie.

This is a magnetic Kitchen Timer. I LOVE it. I got this on our trip and I use it everytime I cook. Also, I love magnets. I collect them and seeing this one on the side of my fridge with the rest of my pretty magnets just makes me a happy girl. ;)

eos... my favorite lip balm. One of my favorite things about this stuff is that it's round, so when you're digging in your purse for it, it's super easy to find. Also, it's organic. Love it. ;)

Philosophy. Oh. Philosophy. The best. Face STUFF ever!!!!

And THESE are just a few of my favorite products.

These...

are my favorite pj pants. If you too like cool patchwork things, these came from American Eagle. Love. I'm wearing them right now... and most nights, actually.

This... is the CAAAA-UUUTEST thing EVER!!! It's a miniature silver chair... remniscient of Alice in Wonderland... and it's a bottle opener!!!! Again... LOOOVVVVEEEE!!!! :):)

My new Merrell's. I understand that a lot of you will probably think these are not the cutest shoes in the world as I do. *sigh*

I am a new LOVER of all things Merrell though. I love LL Bean. In a big way. Very big. And I've been eyeballing these shoes called Merrell for a while. I haven't been brave enough to order them though.

Yesterday, though, I went into Gander Mountain and saw these shoes...

and after I snapped outta my trance and wiped the drool from my chin, I slipped my feet into a pair that were just my size and ooooohhhhhh.... Heaven.

Now, these... Super cute... gorgeously painted cups... they are also from Anthropologie... and they are measuring cups! How freakin adorable???? You know you love them...

iPad. This is self-explanatory, right? All I know is, I have no idea how I lived without it.

And this... iMac. Also Self-Explanatory. Right? These two devices make my life so much simpler! They have the same apps so the iPad goes everywhere with me and when I get emails and phone calls from clients and my editor at the magazine with assignments, I just type it into my iCal on my iPad and then when I sit at my computer to work, I plug it in and everything syncs right up, so both my calendars are constantly up to date and in sync with each other. Same goes for the address book. When I add in new clients, when I plug it into my computer, it syncs right up. Amazing. Apple is simply amazing.

Dyson. I finally got a Dyson. And I got the one that's for All Floors, so I can vacuum my whole house with this thing! It's great for hardwoods, carpets, and tile! Excellente!! The only thing I would change about this thing is that I had to get the orange version (see below). I wanted the purrrpleee one. (that was whining)

And THIS.... is my baby. My baby who makes me my moulah.... I love her. My D700. She is a beauty.

And this... my Nikkor 24-70 lens is my favorite. I use her most often. She is the one that takes probably 70% of my pictures. She's amazing. She's quite expensive, but she's worth every single penny.

I love sweaters and cardigans. Love them. My mom got me this one...

for Christmas. It's Banana Republic and it's so soft and dreamy. I love the way it hangs. It's awesome.

First of all, I love question and answer books and this one is the coolest of them all. This one has a new question for every day of the year.

This is what the pages look like and you might notice that the idea is for you answer these questions every day for 5 years, so you can see how your answers change over the years. I'm not planning to use it this way, though. I'm planning to just randomly answer these questions over many, many years. I know I won't do this every single day for five solid years, so that was my solution...

My beautiful new bedding... also from Anthropologie... It's beautiful and soft and just lovely.

If I could, I would buy tickets for us all and fly us to NYC to all see The Addams Family together. This is the BEST show I've ever seen. Nathan Lane and BeeBee Neuwirth. Need I say more? Amazing.

These next three items I do not have, but I love them...

I LOOOOVE this throw and I can just see it on my couch and I know it would be so beautiful. However, I won't ever have it. No. I won't. Would you like to know why? Let me tell you. It's $200!!! For a THROW!!! Can't do it. But I will always love it from afar. ;)

These.... are flats by Born and I love them. Love the color, love the style. I think I shall have to order these around March-ish for Spring and Summer. They're so precious and I want them.

I have a thing for all things birdie lately. I recently saw this cookie jar on the Anthropologie site and I want him. I do. I can see him perched on my kitchen counter filled with yummy goodies for my babies. I want him.

Now, don't you wish I were rich so I could buy each of you all these fabulous things?

Yeah, me too.... *sigh*
