Way Up High

Way up high to somewhere over the rainbow.

Or over the moon. The festivities are upon us.

Like every past year, I vow to keep my list of season’s essentials succinct yet detailed. Here is the breakdown for this year:

• NO. 21 Striped oversized wool-blend coat. Not exactly intended for the fête, this striped jacket – or rainbow coat as I’d like to call it for the timing – matches the seasonal spirits sans overkill.
• Gift Wraps: Gold Mini Honeycomb on Black Fine Paper and Herringbone Moss Leaves Silver Fine Paper with Black Satin Ribbon
• Cards: To-Do List Holiday Cards
• NARS Velvet Lip Glide in Mineshaft
• For Butter our frenchie: The City Collar and matching Leads in Rose Gold and Tan

• Jo Malone London Cologne Intense Velvet Rose & Oud Home Candle
• Dominique Ansel Chocolate Bûche
• DKA 24pc Hamper
• MOET & CHANDONMOËT & CHANDON Rose Imperial
• L.A. Burdick Dark Drinking Chocolate
• Nespresso Variation Sachertorte capsules
• Yoku Moku Holiday Cinq Delices Cookies
• Four dozens of white roses

You can argue if the list is indeed concise. But in my defense, I did trim down La Maison du Chocolat Twigs Gift Box, LADURÉE macarons, and the De Carlini Raegan in Long Fur Vest Christmas Ornament.

And there is a high chance I add back that last one to my shopping bag.
