window-Christmas-shopping for friends, version 1.0

I got sucked into FredFlare.com again. I have decided that Fred Flare is the antithesis of the "economic crisis" because it only sells the most TRIVIAL and UNNESSESARY things, ie: luxuries. And because, unlike with the economy, I actually WANT to spend time thinking about Fred Flare.

I was feeling generous and thoughtful this evening so I decided to pick out "Christmas presents" for my friends. Disclaimer guys: you aren't going to find these wrapped up and under your tree this year. I wish that A) I had a credit card with which to shop on the interwebz and B) I could afford to purchase all these lovely things for you. I hope just seeing them and knowing that I was thinking of you is enough (until we meet irl again at Christmas break).
ENJOY, in anti-alphabetical order:


Jeanine: Lovely, whimsical blouse because it screams YOU. Peacock feather earrings because either I lost one of them when I borrowed them or YOU lost one of them because your ear holes are big. Can't remember!


Chantal: Rollerskates with pink weels because they look just like your skating skates and remind me of you. Cutest dress because the sweetheart neckline is your fave and cherry red is your colour.


Bryn: Tennis racket cover with lame expression on it for when you're at Wimbledon. You could even put your badminton racket in it! Weird navy/shiny brocade dress because it's awesome and reminded me of your grad dress but more every-day appropriate.


Andrew: Fake mustaches because you can't grow the real thing (and desperately wish you could!) and a Holga. Because, duh, you dream of Holga.

I just KNOW I'll be trolling Fred Flare the next spare minute I get so maybe I'll make some window-shopping-gifts for my favourite bloggers. Stay tuuuuuuuuuuned

one eyed jack of diamonds

I know it's kind of old news but today I came to the conclusion that I will always love Fred Flare.
For realsies I will never ever stop.

I think when I am old and grey I will still either own or desire this:



and this


and I've wanted this for AGES


and this


I've wanted this since I was born (literally for years now)


What I wouldn't give to put my coins and stray paper clips and the other garbage I collect into this scrumptious piece of cake...



Ok sorry I got carried away, I could post items from Fred Flare all day.
OH! OH! And look what I noticed:













It says QT(y) because all of their stuff is SO QT. See! (Sorry)

I will end this post with a question: do you have a secret crush on me? Then buy me stuff from Fred Flare! Your crush doesn't even have to be that serious because their stuff is like $3-$20 so...think about it...
