My friend Fran just did this blog post ahead of her own birthday and I thought it was such a clever idea. I already bought myself my birthday present because I couldn’t wait, this is just a list totally for fun– and let me tell you, it was fun to put together. Dreaming up a totally delusional wishlist?! Love it.
Gucci Jackie // I bought the Jackie bag in black and it’s been one of my very favorite purchases. I knew it would be something that I could use in so many ways and that is very much the case. Even more so than I thought!! The brown is just as stunning…
Chanel Ballerinas // How beautiful are these little light pink Chanel ballerinas? They are certainly a splurge and a little hard to track down as they aren’t available right now. I think this pair would be a nice neutral.
Van Cleef Bracelet // The biggest delusion for me… I have been drooling over the Van Cleef motif bracelets for years. They’re beautiful heirloom pieces and I like that they feel special but also something you can wear everyday too.
Diamond Studs // Most of the earrings I wear are faux because I’m so paranoid about losing earrings. A girl can dream though. (These are the perfect match to my engagement ring, so I’m extra drawn to it.)
Celine Sunglasses // Okay maybe I have this problem where I love all the things I already own! I guess there are worse problems (like regret!). Similar to the Gucci Jackie bag, adding the black would be fun for my wardrobe.
Peloton Tread // This is mostly delusional because we have no space for this in our house. I was a quick convert to the Peloton bike and I started using the Peloton app for workouts in the gym, including the run/walk workouts on the regular treadmill.
Vitamix // This has been on my wishlist for a while and another one that’s delusional due to space constraints. We already have so many great kitchen appliances and we are tight on storage now. We also have a perfectly functional blender already. The Vitamix just feels like the best of the best!
What would be on your delusional wishlist?
This is amazing, I hope you get everything.
Yess Carly, love it!! I’ve been thinking about a Van Cleef bracelet a lot lately too — great minds think alike!
Happy birthday!!! On the note of earrings (and being paranoid to lose expensive ones), my mom had diamond earrings, and the post was actually a screw and the back had to screw on/off, so it couldn’t just be pulled off. It made them IMPOSSIBLE to lose, so that may be something worth looking into!
Can’t screw-backs be done by the jeweler on any earrings?
My delusional gift wish is Taylor Swift tickets lol! My other pick would be a kindle and a subscription for digital books. I commute too much to actually sit down and read that often, but I love the idea of it!
You can get a digital library card and get books free from the Libby app! To me, being able to download books from home for free made the kindle purchase SO worth it. Also a lot of people put functional kindles on Facebook marketplace extremely cheap. My husband was jealous of mine and found a few in the $30 range. It’s an older model and a tiny bit slow but it works just fine.
happy almost birthday! we got the vitamix on prime day & it was worth every penny.
I love this!! My birthday is soon as well and now I want to make one of these! 🤣🤣
The Vitamix is totally worth it!
My delusional wishlist item has been a green Goyard tote for a while now. I could never pay that for a bag but it is pretty to look at!
So many fun items! Something on my list would be a Louis Vuitton purse! Such a fun idea!

I just got the vitamix at my wedding shower and cried LOL
My list would totally include a blender too! And more than one trip 🙂
Two of your items have been on mine for a while-the Jackie and the Van Cleef bracelet! Both stunning and legacy pieces.
