capital city scene: making a list ottawa, canada
(Nov.30.11)
Here’s a list of the top five things I’d love to find under the tree this season.

Watch
I haven’t worn a watch regularly for several years now, but I know my husband is tired of me constantly asking for the time. And it’s not always handy to pull my phone out of my bag. So it’s time (ha!) to get back in the habit of putting one on each morning. This Swatch is decidedly more grown-up than my very first watch (also a Swatch), but still very reasonably priced.

Boots
I’ve got several pairs of boots, but I’m missing the oh-so-important classic riding boot in my footwear collection. I’d love some black or dark brown ones, and the Melissa boot by Frye has caught my eye.

Coat
I really need a new warm winter coat. I think it’s safe to say I need a parka. I love the luxe look of this Pajar Cougar parka, and it looks toasty warm yet still manages to be quite chic.

Bedding
Not sure what my husband would think of this very flowery sheet set from Anthropologie, but we’re definitely due for some fresh sheets and these are a world away from the standard hotel white ones we sleep on most of the time. And hey, they’re not pink. So pretty!

Bling
I’ve always loved the modern sterling silver designs of Georg Jensen jewellery and I especially love the Alliance bracelet. I love its fluidity and simplicity. It’s a piece I could wear every day – on my other wrist.
