birthday loot!

I got spoiled by my husband for my birthday... which is usually the case, but was even more so this year!  This guy is so sweet, he reads my blog and is great at taking a hint - but he goes out on a limb too and is so creative and thoughtful.  I feel like a super lucky gal!


I had dropped some serious hints about a Cambridge Satchel... he ordered a gorgeous (and very large!) one for me (and my laptop) and had it engraved with a "JGG" - what a guy!  The package only contained a photo of it, because these bad-boys are hand made in London-town (or somewhere in the UK) and shipped this way... they take some time.  And I'm willing to wait, friends.

Since I am a candy-freak, all gifts must include sweets.  These are my favorites... cinnamon bears (yes, I'm like a five year old) and dark chocolate malt balls (but I have taste!).  Yum.  Unfortunately, my kids usually eat more of my treats than I get to. Such is life.

Sweet guy also snagged three new Essie colors for me.  I mean, what!?!? Who is this guy? Going to Target and buying nail polish? He's a keeper, that's what he is.  And a note-taker.  (Colors are: Tart Deco, Merino Cool, Angora Cardi)

A fun new Kate Spade iPhone case!
I like letting the beauty of an iPhone shine... especially my pretty white one that I waited forever for.  But who wants a busted iPhone, not me!  How fun are the dots!?!? I'm in love.

Not only did he buy me nail polish... the boy hoofed it to F21 and picked up some fun new earrings and a feather necklace for me. I die.

He sounds too good to be true. Serious hints or not, the Cambridge satchel is such an insider thing for bloggers/fashionistas. Where can I get one? (husband, not satchel)

seems like Modcloth is sold out of their satchels... you can order them from here as well, but they have a longer ship time: http://www.cambridgesatchel.co.uk/

Nail polish and F21 jewelry?! That takes some serious thought in regards to colors and individual selections. I mean, feathers? What a stylish choice! He must have been taking note for awhile of what you had your eye on...and really, that's the sweetest part!
