1. Snow Boots; Sorel Torfino- I've never bought snow boots before so I had no idea what to look for. A friend of mine whose husband played in Italy told me to make sure they were waterproof so that was my only prerequisite. Well, that, and they had to be cute. I researched for weeks, read hundreds of reviews, and tried on numerous pairs. I finally made the decision to go with the Sorel Torfino. Luckily for me, I found a pair I loved on Nordstrom.com and since I have smaller feet I ordered the kid's size and saved some money.
2. Puffer Coat; Tommy Hilfiger Hood Belted Down Anorak- The last down coat I owned was a red one from Gap and I'm pretty sure that was back in high school. I knew I wanted a black coat that was long enough to cover my bum, but not past my knees. It also had to have a hood without fur (since the boots have fur, I didn't want to overdo it). I found a couple different options at Macy's and on Overstock.com and finally settled on the Tommy Hilfiger Belted Down since it has some shape to it. I really didn't want to look like I was wearing a garbage bag. And it's perfect!
3. Hair Straightener; T3 SinglePass Compact- When we lived in England, I just used a converter with my straightener, but it wasn't a good staightener so I really didn't care if it got fried. In Italy, Kevin has already managed to fry our Sonicare charger and his electric razor so I'm not taking any chances with my Chi. Finding a dual frequency straightener wasn't easy, but the ladies at Ulta helped me out and suggested I get a T3. I looked at reviews online and found the T3 SinglePass Compact for an amazing price at Target.com and couldn't pass it up. And since it is compact it doesn't take up much space and will be perfect for traveling. I've tried it a few times and I'm impressed. I honestly think it works better than my Chi!
4. Slingbox- Thanks to this amazing invention, I'll be able to watch Jersey Shore and Glee and Kevin can get his hockey fix. I've never used one before, but know people who have and I'm pretty sure this will be my best purchase of the year.
5. Camera; Nikon D3100 Digital SLR- Okay, so I haven't bought this camera YET, but I look at it online everyday and sometimes even visit Best Buy to check it out. I know I could probably get by with my point and shoot camera, but sometimes it starts acting up (like on our honeymoon) and I don't want to miss a thing. I keep fighting with myself on whether or not to get it and I'm 80% sure I probably will, but for now, it is on my 'wish list' not 'must-have list.'
