Holiday Wish List

It’s my holiday wish list and birthday wish list. Now I know that there is only one secret santa, but for those of you who aren’t my secret santa, here’s some suggestions. If I see any of these suggestions in your possession, you’re a big poser and you should get your own style.



Put on a pretty stank

Fragrance is the easiest to find. Get your ass to the department store and get me:
1903 (spray) – J. Peterman (only at jpeterman.com)
Allure – Chanel
Aqua di Gio – Armani
B*Men – Thierry Mugler
Angel Men – Thierry Mugler
Purple Label – Ralph Lauren


The Franklin Bench Chair

Reminiscent of the Eames aesthetic, this chair is covered in black vinyl and trimmed with white piping. I’ll need two because there is a connecting rod that can turn the pair into a love seat. If you’re feeling a little more flush, you can buy just one Mies van der Rohe Barcelona Chair. [ Link ]


The Limited Edition Turquoise Verner Panton Chair

Ok, so I don’t need any more furniture, but this is more than just a piece of furniture. This is one of Panton/Vitra’s first chairs which is still a mainstay of many designistas. This is marked as limited edition, but is selling for the same price as the other colors.


The Monte Carlo by Vestal in (Dark Brown/Wood or White/Pearl)

There is a small amount of retro charm in this watch. Though not meant for mass appeal, to those that find this cool, I tip my hipster faux-ronic black velvet pork-pie hat.


X-Arcade Game Adapter

I need this. I can’t write anything clever about this. I need this… because I need to play games and become more cloistered in my dark game hole. Oh, and I’ll need the USB adaptor. [ Link ]


Chemex Handblown Water Vessel

Earlier this year, a writer on Slate.com reviewed the most efficient ways of getting hot water. I’ve had a cafeteriere (french press) for a while, and have been muddling with boiling water on the stove. Since the price of electricity isn’t going up as rapidly as natural gas, ideally I’d go for the electric kettle. No no no, sacrificing style for efficiency I’m going for the next to the worst performer in the list. The Chemex Handblown thermal glass carafe was designed in the mid-1940s. Sure it has no whistle, fragile, and gets too hot to hande… but it’s so beautiful.
