Happy Monday folks! I hope you had the best weekend. This weekend I was is in Omaha celebrating my brother-in-laws wedding! It was so darn fun. I'll have a full recap of the weekend on the blog later this week.

This post is 51% honest and 49% humor. So please take my sarcasm as it's intended. Recently I have been in a shopping mood. Maybe it's Instagram, maybe it's spring or maybe it's all the random shit I find online that I need right now. But whatever it is, all I want to do is shop, spend money and shop some more.

And, I'm turning 30 soon. I know I tell you that a lot, but it's a big thing over here in Kristen-land. I've been thinking about what I really want for my 30th for a while.  For those of you who are 30, whats it like on the other side? I'm actually super excited to be thirty. I loved my 20's, but I'm ready to say sayonara and hello to a new decade.

Recently, my entire family has been asking me what I want for my birthday. While I don't think I'm a hard person to shop for, I've been told otherwise. I'm learning in my life it's easier to tell people what I want instead of getting something I hate  don't love and trying to return it. I'm trying to make it easier peeps. I would hate for people to think I'm like Rachel on Friends where she returns everything. I don't return things, I just shove them into my closet and find them when I move. Brutal honesty folks.

When I think about my 30th, I want things like, world peace, sunshine, happiness, acceptance, lots of love and lots of wine. But, since my family can't wrap sunshine in a box, I figured I'd better come up with some ideas.

So, to my fam-bam and whoever else wants to buy me gifts (see the 49% humor above) here is my







1. This Vacation Shirt from Madewell this ruffle dress and these mules. I'm so ready for a vacation somewhere, but it seems looking at vacation clothes is as close as I'm gonna get to an actual beach anytime soon. And, I am currently obsessed with mules. I legit wear mine every chance I get.



2. I really dig this boot butler. I mean, I don't have cowboy boots, but I'm sure my Frye's would love hanging around. That was a pun. When we first moved in to our house, we were so pumped with closet space. Welp, a year later, our closet is full. I think this would be a great remedy that way I don't have to fill up both guest room closets. In my defense, Adam loves clothes too. And shoes. So there, it's not just me.

3. This copper wire letter sorter. I don't really get letters, but I LOVE the copper, so I would totally put it to use. We're trying to re-do our kitchen and I want to add copper accents and I think this $10 letter holder would be perf. Now, can you guys start sending me letters? I'd love ya forever. Birthday cards are my favorite.






6. Wine all the time. This would totally come in handy. My fridge always has a bottle (okay, more than one) in it and this would totally organize my life. Anyone? This really does need anymore explanation.



7. These Gucci Princeton Slippers. They're on $995, so I figure one of you will buy me these right? I am a size 9 and really love the black. But the ones with the snake on the front would be good too. Thanks in advance! Oh and yes, I would totally wear these out of the house. Thanks!



8. This iPhone Nub holder. I love taking selfies and snapchat videos, ect. This would be so awesome because then I wouldn't drop my phone every other time I try to take a picture.
