This year my mom and I got into baking cookies for Christmas.  Here are a few books I’d love to have to expand the types I try next year.  Above is: The Williams-Sonoma Collection: Cookies.

I’m on the hunt for a few perfect winter sweaters.  Since my studio is located in an old factory building, I need to stay bundled up in the winter time.  I love this easy style by Splendid.

I’m also loving this ‘Academy Cardigan’ from JCREW.

This basic black v-neck is really cute too.

I know they are soooo last year, but I still love these fun faux-fur throws from Pottery Barn. The Charcoal and the Frosted Taupe color are especially pretty.

Last year I purchased an amazing robe for Leo, and I’ve been envious ever since.  Here is a really cozy looking robe from Pottery Barn, the white is so pretty it would make every day seem like a day at the spa.  And for those of you that are looking for winter wedding gifts, a set of these could be an amazing wedding gift.

I’d love to get a Cuisinart, I’m an avid cook, and I’ve been attempting to use my blender as a food processor, but it just doesn’t work for certain items.

This fancy slow cooker looks amazing.  It’s cast-aluminum insert allows for stove top braising!

Two of these pans would make preparing my weekly batch of granola soooo much easier.

And, to be totally frivolous, this cake is pretty much the cutest thing in the world.  I’m always amazed by NordicWare, it must be one of the most amazing products to design, thinking, what can we bundt?

We never got around to getting a good set of pans, and although most things I can do without, a lightweight large pot is a true kitchen necessity.

I’ve mastered most of the Cooking Light slow cook recipes, and I’m on the hunt for something new to try. This book by Williams-Sonoma looks like a good challenge.  Food Made Fast: Slow Cooker also looks interesting.

Here is the second item on my christmas list.  I’d love some fresh new towels from the Hotel Collection.  The Pearl color is especially nice (grey is my favorite color).  These towels offer not only the regular bath size, but also the bath sheet size, which sounds super amazing.

After reading an article in the Times about wrinkle free sheets, I’ve been slightly obsessed with the idea.  I’m a total purist when it comes to sheets, and I can’t imagine sleeping on sheets under 400 thread count or colored sheets (ivory is about as colorful as I would ever go).  I’d love to get a set of these 600 thread count wrinkle free sheets in white.

It’s a tradition of my mother’s to get us new pillow, every year.  Usually I’ve only needed a 20×26 pillow (standard pillow size), but since I have an actual bedding set complete with fancy shams, I’m in dire need of  20×28 pillows to give that plush hotel-style look.

After doing exhaustive research, there are barely any cute slippers out in the market these days.  Having lived in houses with hardwood floors my whole life, slippers are a winter necessity.  I found these super cute Quaruba sheepskin slippers that I love.  They also offer a similar style in a slide.
