17. My goodies, oh no not my goodies.

I have been asked to compile a list of things I want for my birthday (that is 3 months away) in order for my housemates to avoid buying me something that someone else will get me. I don't really have a set list but these are the things that have been plaguing my mind for the past few weeks - months. I categorized them because I'm weird.

I really want some new reading material. After visiting LACMA, I've been really interested in Robert Adams so a few books from him would be nice. And a subscription to SURFACE Magazine would be splendid because gah, that mag is gorgeous. And of course, the Smitten Kitchen cookbook. Where would I be without Deb's recipes (i.e. apple cake, spaghetti, and cookies).

I've been wanting some new accessories for my camera. A 50mm 1.8 lens (the most inexpensive canon dslr lens, tbh) to practice taking decent pictures. A tripod because my hands are so unsteady and shaky. A classic ipod because my phone only holds 8gb of stuff and music only takes up 4gb. It would be nice to have all the music I own on one ipod so I can listen to Best Coast or Kanye whenever I want without wiping a different album from my iphone.

Above are some things I want from ASOS, aka trendy pieces. I've been wanting some white platforms for a bitty and the ones above are nice. The shorts would be perfect for the summer. To go along with my white platforms, some white sunnies would be nice to shield the northern california sun!
