Veruca Salt: I want it now - a list by FancyPants

Options for This Page

About this list:

I'm often chastised for being the Veruca of my family... I have a tendency to over-spend, over-want, and over-whine about it... Here is a collection of things that I spy online for ThisNext that I also Truly-Madly-Deeply want to take home for myself. Enjoy. PS- Veruca Salt is the whiny-assed girl in "Willy Wonka"-- you know, "I wan't it nowwww"

Qualifications:

Veruca Salt's slightly more tolerable BFF

For people who like:

  • being spoiled
  • Buying yourself things
  • having too much credit card debt

Earth's Heart Rose Bouquet

First to recommend

Description

If you are going to send flowers, they should come from your local farmer's market...

if you can't make it there, these are close second:

"This bouquet is certified as sustainably grown. Set to standards in which the growers are held to environmentally and socially responsible practices, these flowers may not be certified organic, but environmental concerns as well as community involvement, fair wages and working conditions are considered and cared for. "

Not bad... for flowers.

Let's Paint The '90s coloring book

3 people recommended this item

Description

Remember these?

I would spend hours carefully, with not an ounce of wasted paint, painting an underwater scene from "The Little Mermaid"-- tongue sticking out of the side of my mouth, lips pursed in concentration...

Now I can relive those days... what will they come up with next?!

Marc by Marc Jacobs Seaboard Silk Dress

First to recommend

Description

This dress by Marc by Marc Jacobs makes my heart go into a tizzy.

I love nautical inspired pieces-- and this just looks perfect for a day at the beach.
Doubt that I would wear a nearly $400 dress to the beach, but in FancyPants land-- I would. Happily.

Considering the ways you could wear this dress, it's a worthy investment.

Patagonia Live Simply Water Bottle

First to recommend

Description

I had read enough recommendations here on ThisNext to know that I needed an aluminum Sigg bottle-- but which one... I am afterall I kitschy girl so I can't just pick up the first bottle that I see, goodness no.

This one from Patagonia has an adorable little whale on the front and the mantra "live simply"...

I suppose $24 is a lot to pay for a water bottle-- but I guess my intact fertility might thank me later, n'est pas?

Kit Cat Clock

Description

The Holidays are great because it is an excuse to get presents that you would never buy for yourself but you secretly want. Like this kit-cat clock.

It makes me smile and that is what the Holidays are all about!
