I'm Dreaming of a Juicy Christmas

The holiday blitz starts earlier and earlier every year and 2009 is no exception. This year we started seeing promo pictures and items creeping up as early as mid September! That's how I know that my Juicy Christmas list is going to be very, very long. Which is good and bad -- good because I love seeing what new stuff they're coming up with and bad because I never actually ask anyone to buy this stuff for me! My Juicy obsession is all independent. ;)

First on my list? This sparrow statue (available at Bloomingdale's). I love birds. I love pink. Mix them up and I'm sure to want it. I don't really care for the earrings so much; they're supposed to have small skulls on them but I will probably take them off and use this to either hang charms (weird?) or one of my other pairs of Juicy hoops. The sparrow also comes in a green color with silver hoops, and there's a bust statue that comes in pink and green, each one with a necklace. I couldn't make a decision on the bust based on photos; it's something I'd need to see in person. The face looked a little funny to me.

The next things I must have are the miniature charm sets (available at Nordstrom's)! I'm all over the travel and film ones and can't wait to see just how tiny the charms are. I don't care so much for the bracelet itself; I really just want to use the tiny charms in groups on a gold chain I have. I'm very very excited for these and hope that Juicy puts out a few more sets like this in different themes (maybe animals, sweet treats, under the sea?). The price for each set is a little steep at $78 but it's not bad if you break it down between the 5 small charms and bracelet.

Apart from those items, there are several charms on my list.. obviously! The present, the mitten, the ballerina, the gold cupcake, and the tiered cake. The bust statue was on there until I saw photos of it -- now I'm not so sure. But I pre-ordered it sight unseen on a whim so it's on it's way to me now. Fingers crossed that I love it waaaay more in person.

All of these items are currently in transit to my house, and I'm really excited to take pictures and coo about them when they get here. What's on your Juicy Christmas list this year? Leave a comment here and it will count as one entry toward the upcoming giveaway for the original Candy Cane charm (gold), which I will be posting more about later this week!

On The Horizon: Hot Air Balloon

Spotted at Bloomingdale's online Juicy Couture Summer Trunk Show: a sweet pastel hot air balloon, complete with passenger, landing in the golds.

Oh. No. This is definitely one of the cuter and more creative charms that I've seen in awhile. The detail looks pretty amazing - chains for the rope, a proper weave pattern on the basket, plus little flower adornments? I'm absolutely sold. I don't even plan on waiting to find it on sale or discounted - I'll probably pick it up directly from my local Juicy boutique as soon as they get it in.

$: 58.00
Where:
Buyin' or Eyein'?: Buying!
Plus One?: Probably if I can obtain a second one at a discount.
Misc.: I had to leave the 'where' area blank because for some odd reason this charm has disappeared from Bloomingdales.com. There's no longer any mention of the Juicy Couture Summer Trunk Show and several other jewelry items vanished alongside this charm. Thanks to Google's sweet caching system I was able to find their stock photo - it's all that remains of this little cutie for now. :(

On The Horizon: Lucky 7

Spotted at Bloomingdale's online Juicy Couture Summer Trunk Show: a very flashy and very pave Lucky number 7 is making its way into the silver family.

I have my fingers crossed that the seven is a precursor to Juicy reintroducing some of the good Vegas charms. If there can't be any re-releases then at least give me some new ones. Vegas is my absolute favorite city and I would love to see an updated version of the slot machine charm (perhaps with a little more color?). I'm not really all that thrilled with this one, though. It's kind of bland. Maybe it will have some sparkle in real life but this photo isn't doing it any favors.

$: 52.00
Where: Pre-order from Bloomingdales.com
Buyin' or Eyein'?: Eyein'.
Plus One?: Nope.
Misc.: You can earn 2% cash back through LuckyRewards on all Bloomingdale's purchases.

On The Horizon: Carousel Horse

Spotted at Bloomingdale's online Juicy Couture Summer Trunk Show: one runaway carousel horse, headed for the gold family.

I've added this one to my list, simply because my bedroom when I was a kid had carousel horses all over it. I've always loved carousels and I'm excited about this charm, even if I'm not over the moon about the color scheme. (Blue and red, Juicy? Really?) Plus the head looks a little misshapen to me.. perhaps the ears aren't big or pronounced enough?

It's a shame that Juicy doesn't release things in themes - they could have hit one out of the park with a set of carousel animals and/or carnival themed charms.

$: 58.00
Where: Pre-order from Bloomingdales.com
Buyin' or Eyein'?: Buying!
Plus One?: One for Little E - she's a horse fanatic.
Misc.: I'm not going to place a pre-order for this one. I plan on holding out to see if I can find it for at least a 15-20% discount. $58 is high, especially since the detail isn't extraordinary on this one. And don't forget that you can earn 2% cash back through LuckyRewards on all Bloomingdale's purchases.
