So, here are some things I want. And don't have. Yes, this is a very unfortunate situation.
1. Marimekko bed linens.
Because they are beautiful, even if they aren't purple. But the king size duvet cover alone costs $100. And we shouldn't really be spending that kind of money on sheets right now.
2. The Man in the Moon silver baby rattle from Tiffany.
To be fair, I don't want this rattle right now. I want it as a gift from Torsten when I get pregnant. I just think it's beautiful and elegant, and would be so meaningful. It's one of the very few things from Tiffany that I think is worth the money.
3. The Etoile bangle from Tiffany, in platinum.
I can't find the exact one on their website, but I tried it on in their store once, and it was amazing. It also cost $6,700. This is one of many things from Tiffany that I do not think is worth the money. But I love it.4. The Shoshana Cutout Daisy Belted Dress
Apparently, I have expensive taste. But that's OK, because even if I could afford this dress, it would never fit in a million years.
5. The Saab 93 convertible.
This is our dream car and has been forever. But it also starts at $42,000. And we have a perfectly lovely Civic that cost about a quarter of that. And we don't need a second car. But ooh, do we ever want.
What are YOU coveting right now?
I would love the last thing in the list too. OMG such a hot ride!
ReplyDeleteI've really been wanting a Kindle, but we've been trying so hard NOT to buy books with our money--the library is just too close to us. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI'm also craving a MacBook Pro. I have a MacBook--shouldn't that be good enough? =)
You know you will fit into that dress, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not even next month. But next year, easily!!!
ReplyDeleteI want another Honda Element, in the same color as mine that died last month (or was killed by a murdering Mazda SUV). But, common sense and adulthood prevailed and we're getting a Prius.
I want some money so we can fix all the things around our house at once.
ReplyDeleteI found these Burberry flats at Nordstrom and fell in love with them: http://www.couture.zappos.com/n/p/dp/57125930/c/3.html
ReplyDeleteI can't bring myself to spend that kind of money on shoes, though. I would either spill coffee on them within two seconds of buying them or get stuck in a freak mudslide the minute I put them on.
A masters degree that I don't have to pay for.
ReplyDeleteI have been coveting these rings from Wendy Brandes for months now:

You know your baby couldn't actually USE the rattle, right? :-)
ReplyDeleteWe're saving for our vacation. Other than that, I don't have anything on my mind right now for potential purchase.
I'm wanting an entire wardrobe by J Crew and a 2008/2009 Honda Accord in Metal Metallic. :)
ReplyDeleteHmm, coveting right now... Biggest thing is a debt balance of 0. Which we will have in December, God willing. But the more fun things:
ReplyDelete-Everything I posted in my recent Maddie's Big Girl Room post
-Pretty new bras
-Reset of my wedding/e-rings in platinum (after two years of wear, I started reacting to white gold so I wear them very rarely & miss them)
-Hardwood floors throughout the downstairs. DROOL.
-Oh, and how about just completing our bathroom remodel? That would make my YEAR!
(And you are so totally going to wear that dress someday. You deserve it and I can't wait to see it on you!)
I love the Tiffany rattle and the bed linens. They are both so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting a new straightening iron, but my old one is fine so I can't justify it right now.
I want:
ReplyDelete-someone to pay off my student loan debt
-someone to give me a job I won't hate
as for material things:
-an iPhone
-classic black and white chuck taylors
-an iPhone
-a pretty new purse from Coach
-an iPhone
i want a personal hair stylist. seriously, i want someone to do my hair for me every morning, as well as some touchups during the day, so my hair wouldn't always look like ass. i've determined a professional tending to it is the ONLY way to accomplish this.
ReplyDeletethat dress will TOTALLY FIT! most likely sooner than you would imagine...just saying! and currently i am coveting the keys from tiffanys, i agree with you that most of their stuff is wayyyy over priced, but i love keys!
ReplyDeleteas always, I am wanting a corgi!
ReplyDeleteI want a swimming pool. I will even settle for one of those blow-up ones at wally world but Hubby won't let me get one of those because he thinks it will kill the grass, look stupid, blah, blah, blah. I want a swimming pool.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post full of eye candy. That rattle really is lovely! I'm coveting some new furniture. We are budgeting what we can and can't afford. The $2,000 console table was rejected in favor of being able to buy more pieces now!
ReplyDeleteoooo, yes to ALL OF THEM!
ReplyDeleteI love that rattle. If I had a baby I would get one. Except it's too pretty...maybe I would just hang it on the nursery wall. The baby wouldn't appreciate it as much as I would anyway.
ReplyDeleteI am coveting craft supplies. Paper. And ribbon. And card. And beads.
I would loooove anything from Tiffany's but I can't justify spending my money on jewelry. :(
ReplyDeleteI like the car, but the ad is the best! A convertable in the snow. I thought that Minnesotans were unique in that concept, but apparently I was wrong.
ReplyDeleteWow. You do plan a lot. Even the gift you want from your husband.
ReplyDeleteWow.
I really really really want a fancy new camera.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that bedding. I always drool over it whenever I'm in the store. You have excellent taste, my dear! I am constantly wanting all the pretty, frilly, girly dresses at Anthropologie....
ReplyDeleteThose bed linens are gorgeous. I want new linens as well, but can't bring myself to buy anything that will just get covered in dog hair anyway. Bah.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. What do I want? Either a new bedroom dresser and side tables or some great old ones that I can redo in the spirit of design*spongonline.com
I'm wanting a Kindle, a Viking range, and built-in bookshelves for the living room. Out of the three, the bookshelves is the only one within reach!
ReplyDeletei want i want i want all those things as well!!
ReplyDeleteI want several tons of gray flagstone and some granite building stones, plus someone to come configure them into a nice patio and retaining wall in our back yard. Which right now is dirt.
ReplyDeleteI also want a shining new kitchen (not just a new kitchen, but a SHINING one).
In related news, I'd like a job, and also a new hairstyle.
A wedding dress from Dolly. A Tiffany ring...one of the ones with the Tiffany stuff written on it -- within my grasp, but can't buy right now. A Kindle 2, but I already have Kindle 1 (which doesn't even work right anymore so I should send it in to Amazon) which was a gift so I should be quite greatful. And I want one of those new Mazda hybrid type cars that seats 7...I think it's the 5? I don't even know, but it's cute.

ReplyDeleteI have the Merrimekko linens (different pattern). Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI love those linens!
ReplyDeleteI am coveting: an enjoyable job, a new and stylishly decorated apartment, painting supplies to indulge in my hobby of painting hideously ugly things that I'd never ever want to display but enjoy painting, and a gym membership that I don't have to pay for.
Why doesn't $100 seem like that much for a duvet cover? Granted, every single set of linens I've ever purchased has come from Marshall's or Homegoods, but starting out at $100 seems very reasonable if you know you'll never buy it at full price.
ReplyDeleteI like a lot of Shoshanna dresses but, (ironically enough since she started the line for women who were big up top) my boobs never fit. Boo.
I like the car much more than the rattle. Probably because it's something I might actually use. :)
i'm coveting a trip to blogher right now.
ReplyDeleteWell, I started a list, but it ended up being embarassingly long and materialistic. A bazillion dollars ought to cover everything.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I don't know who told you different, but afternoon thundershowers are TOTALLY the norm in Colorado in the summer. I find it disappointing when we don't get one to cool things off. On the other hand, a big lightning strike messed up my best friend the teevee yesterday, so that was a bummer.
Oh my gosh I want those bed linens. SO adorable. Oh and the car too.
ReplyDeleteThe saying goes that “There's a book inside all of us”, well here is a chance to let your book out. The wonderful people over at Blurb have given me 3 vouchers worth £30 off a Blurb book and to be in with a chance at winning just pop over to my blog.
ReplyDeleteI love that bedding set! You could buy that for me and I could send you the purple and blue duvet cover I made for myself a few years ago! ;-)
ReplyDeleteSoooo my advice would be to stay away from the Saab. I had one before my Prius and it sucked. I sunk so much money into that car and because there are so many problems with Saab, I didn't get that much for it when I traded it in. :-(
ReplyDeleteI'd rather like to have a canoe on a day like today. Um, and a babysitter. :)
