Rockettes + Henri Bendel = I'm There!

I love the Christmas displays in New York. Henri Bendel's in particular. A few years ago I was here for work and it was close to this time of year and there were models on every display and in the windows acting out the holiday scenes. It was so beatiful, so dramatic.

This is even better because it has champagne and the Rockettes!

Needless to say, I'm super excited to go there with co-worker K tomorrow after work. 

Champagne and HB!

Sounds like heaven to me :). Two of my favorite things.

Crossed My Mug Off My Want List

I LOVE my mug.

Look how much tea it contains! Yay!!!!!

My (In My Dreams Never Going to Be Able to Afford It or Can't Justify It) Bendel Wish List

If I was rich, I would buy:

The Distrubed Stripe Wheelie Duffle - I l ove duffle bags
and the wheels are the perfect add on to making traveling that
much better and more chic.

The Disturbed Hat Box Wheelie - reminds me of a more
elegant and classic time than now. Like trains and steam trunks.

This trunk is my FAVORITE thing at HB.
There is nothing about it I don't love.
I'll never be able to rationalize buying it.

I love this train case because it, like so many of
HB travel pieces, is classic and timeless.

My (Affordable) Henri Bendel Wish List

I LOVE HENRI BENDEL.

Just ya know, I do. Before I even went into the store when I came to NYC years ago, I fell in love with it because of SMG's surreal love story movie, Simply Irresistible. Anyhow, it's been my favorite stores for years and I went in there on my lunch break as I often do to stimulate my senses and decided to publish my HB Wish List:

Girl About Town Mug - it's the perfect size - I love BIG mugs
and it has the HB store front which is one of my favorite parts
of the store.

2011 Special Edition Snow Globe - Lady with Dog.
Every winter HB designs a snow globe. I would
have 4 (including this one that I WILL buy) but
it broke when I was living in Seattle. One of
the only things I collect.

These will be my Christmas cards! I love the illustrations
HB has and it is highly possible my roommates and I
will look like this in a couple of months when we're picking
up our Christmas tree.

I'm super excited because my Mom and Dad sent me these!!!
Bendel Girl Wellies had been on my list for a long,
long time :). I can't wait to wear them.

It's pretty cool that you could win a trip to NYC and $2500 to shop at HB here. I'm entering as well. No clue if they'll award to someone living in NYC but I would LOVE to stay at the Gramercy Park Hotel and have thousands of dollars to spend at HB. It wouldn't be difficult for me to do!
