Official Secret Santa 2008 Likes/Dislikes

gingembre1 · Kate Spade

I went back to last year's Likes/Dislikes list, and found this poll - I thought it would be good to copy and use again!

Favorite Color?

cobalt blue, fuschia, or purple

Favorite scent?

Coconut, Vanilla Blackberry, Verbena, Cinnamon

Favorite Band?

No real favorite - I enjoy Frente from way back in the day, love Tango Nuevo, Salsa music, anything with a latin vibe.

Favorite Movie?

Ironman, Casino Royale, The Notebook, Transformers, Le Diner des Cons, Delicatessen.

Favorite Beauty Brand?

Estee Lauder or L'Oreal for moisturizers, Mac for eye makeup, Lancome for mascara

Favorite Magazine and which ones do you subscribe to?

Real Simple (subscribe to), Allure (subscription running out), Women's Health (subscription running out), Domino (do not subscribe)

Favorite Hobby?

dancing, crafting, reading, triathlon training

Favorite Food/Snack?

Frozen Yogurt from Yogurt Harmony. Ice cream from Dairy Queen.

what are your favorite stores?

Anthropologie, Crate & Barrel, Banana Republic, Macy's, Nordstroms, Mercer, Cost Plus

what DON'T you want?

I don't need lotions, bath gel, that kind of stuff. I'm not fond of little knicknacks that don't really have any purpose except to take up space and make more to dust. I live in California, so I don't really need mittens, knit hats, earmuffs, etc.

what do you need?

I'm furnishing my condo, and I want to decorate one wall with an assortment of antique plates. It will be in my kitchen, and the colors are BRIGHT red (with a slight pink undertone) and pale yellow. I would like to have plates in blues, reds, aqua, or yellow. Ebay is a GREAT resource for plates. The size doesn't matter too much, but probably nothing larger than a dinner plate.

I am also coveting a fuschia round velvet floor cushion from Crate and Barrel, currently on sale on the website. On the same fuschia theme, I'm searching for a fuschia throw and a fuschia accent pillow for my bed.

My cat would love some cat toys.

Shoe size?

7.5

Clothing size?

10 on top, and 28 in jeans, 4 in pants on the bottom

What colors do you usually use to decorate your house or room?

My living room has a bright aqua wall and the rest are "Gobe Desert." The kitchen is BRIGHT red and pale, pale yellow. My bedroom is light silver purple, and my boyfriend's is a light sage green. The bathroom is cream with light green. I haven't found my perfect bedding yet, but it will be silver with fuschia accents.

What kind of jewelry do you like?

I love amethysts, blue stones, and I enjoy both gold and silver.

Least favorite color?

I don't do orange or yellow for clothes. I'm also not a big fan of green unless it's exactly the right color green.

a little about yourself:

I think that's been pretty well covered by the above. I do triathlons with Team In Training, and I'm mentoring the winter team right now. I take tango lessons on the weekends with my boyfriend and sister, and I just adopted my first (adorable) cat. I LOOOOOOVE to travel, and am planning on going to Africa next year. I love a good deal. My sense of humor tends to the potty/5th grader kind. I love to eat.

a little about yourself:

Hmm I've just had a really rough year, going through a divorce, dealing with living with my alcoholic huband in the process and I really just need something to cheer me up.

Kelly · Hermes

Favorite Color?

My favorites are purple and deep red, but I like basically everything that's not a pastel (as long as it's not yellow or orange that's meant to be by my face - it look sickly!)

Favorite scent?

My perfume is Dream Angels Heavenly, and I love Spearmint Eucalyptus and Fresh Bamboo scents from bath & body works. Sometimes I'll just open my container of bath salts and just sit there and smell it. It's sad. I also like home scents with names like "fresh cotton" or "clean linen"

Favorite Band?

The Avett Brothers, Stevie Wonder, Meat Loaf

Favorite Movie?

Hmm, this is hard! I don't really watch movies too much. I do like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; Love, Actually; and Conversations with Other Women.

Favorite Beauty Brand?

I don't really have a favorite - I stick to drugstore brands and pretty much jump around between them!

Favorite Magazine and which ones do you subscribe to?

Favorite is Glamour, and I also subscribe to Marie Claire.

Favorite Hobby?

yoga (just started a while ago, but I really like it!), ballroom/swing dancing, baking

Favorite Food/Snack?

My favorite food ever is a good hamburger! I also drink tea like it's my job, and eat far too much chocolate and sweet tarts.

What are your favorite stores?

Is it sad that I don't even have one? Lately a lot of my clothes have been coming from ATL, but I wouldn't call it my favorite. I really jump around a lot and don't have a go-to store.

what DON'T you want?

I don't need lotions, bath gel, that kind of stuff. I'm not fond of little knicknacks that don't really have any purpose except to take up space and make more to dust. (I just copy + pasted this because I agree ) oh, and scarves - I have WAY too many as is.

what do you need?

Hmmm. This is hard. I don't exactly need anything in particular...I am always on the hunt for warm gloves and a flattering beret, and I always like candles.

Shoe size?

8.5

Clothing size?

I'm usually a S in Misses, and a 6 or 8 in dresses and pants. I mostly wear stretchy knits, because my chest is large and more structured fabrics look horrible on me without a good bit of tailoring.

What colors do you usually use to decorate your house or room?

I am really not into decorating, which is why my house looks the same as it did when I moved in a year and a half ago (with all my late aunt's furnishings and decorations). There's light green on the walls and carpet, and the furniture is red velvet (yeah, they sound like couches a pimp would have!). There's an Asian theme going on that I'm trying to gradually get rid of, so I definitely don't want any Asian-looking decor. My bedroom is the only part I've really altered at all, and I painted it a light blue with dark brown and orange in my furniture and bedspread. In a couple weeks I'll be making my spare room into a library (once my parents get all their junk out of there), but I honestly cannot remember what color it is in there. Dark blue, maybe?

What kind of jewelry do you like?

I like most every kind, except bracelets. I don't like gold or very sparkly pieces.

Least favorite color?

I don't like pastels. I also don't like orange & yellow on clothes.

a little about yourself:

I live with my dog in a house in the woods, right next to my family. I work in marketing & software development for the family business (except that it's a way bigger company than most family businesses...my family just started it and my family is also huge so most of us work for it!). I write for a lingerie website (the-lingerie-post.com) and will soon be writing for another (innerbeautyonline.com). Um, I don't know what else to say that hasn't been covered already!

Jahni · Dooney & Bourke

Favorite Color?

blues...all sorts of blues...and white...is white a color?

Favorite scent?
My favorite perfume is Chanel Coco Mademoiselle...i like wintery smells like firewood

Favorite Food/Snack?
I love Seafood and Key Lime Pie!

What are your favorite stores?
I'm pretty limited to visiting actual stores because I live in the middle of nowhere...But my all time favorite is a boutique/art gallery called The Zoo Gallery in Destin, FL. I'm really liking Madewell, and I spend a lot of time on www.sugarboodesigns.com, not necessarily buying, but i like the style of the artwork...i like the feeling...does that make sense?

what DON'T you want?

I don't need lotions, bath gel, that kind of stuff. I'm not fond of little knicknacks that don't really have any purpose except to take up space and make more to dust. (I just copy + pasted this because I agree ) oh, and scarves - I have WAY too many as is. (and I just did the same thing at ttara :) )

And only want to add that I really don't want any pet related items. I recently had to put my Vivy (roommate for 5 years, best friend anyone could have, my avatar is her picture) down and I'm still very sensitive about anything related to dogs.

what do you need?
hmmm..i don't really need anything...but i really like everything.

Shoe size?

8.5

Clothing size?
Md-Lg in t-shirts...I'm a 6-8

What colors do you usually use to decorate your house or room?
My house has a very vintage beach house feel...blues, whites, greens, a touch of faded red...it's random, but fun.

What kind of jewelry do you like?
I like it all with the exception of brooches...

Least favorite color?
hmmm...purple? hot pink? bright yellow? girly girly colors...

a little about yourself:
hmm...well, i'm 28 and an attorney/risk manager for a small county hospital. I've never been married (broke up with long term bf a few months ago) and recently bought my first home. i live in a very rural area and like to surprise the people i work with with my fashion choices...which doesn't take a lot (they're shocked that i wear heels almost every day). I love anything with a vintage beach cottage vibe, and well...that's it!

I subscribe to Living (am going to let that one expire though- its too fussy for me), Domino, Lucky, and Cooking Light. I also occasionally buy Fine Cooking and Real Simple on the newsstand.

Favorite Hobby?

ugh, I need hobbies! I watch way too much tv. I guess cooking is my favorite. And playing with my dog and decorating/ renovating my house.

Favorite Food/Snack?

I love coffee and tea. I'm really trying to not snack so much, but I like pretty much all food.

what are your favorite stores?

Target, J. Crew, Anthro (more for household things)

what DON'T you want?

no earrings since I pretty much wear my diamond studs every day.

what do you need?

I wouldn't say that I "need" anything, but makeup type stuff is fun. I've also been on the lookout for a necklace and/ or ring lately. And I love getting new things for my house. Oh, and fun/ colorful desktop accessories for work would be cool. My desk is very drab and I spend so much time at work that I'd like some more fun things to look at.

Shoe size?

7

Clothing size?

S on top, 4-6 on bottom

What colors do you usually use to decorate your house or room?

lots of greens, blues, and browns with some pink accents here and there

What kind of jewelry do you like?

silver/ white gold. I like bracelets and rings that are pretty substantial but still very feminine (J. Crew and Le Train Blue have a lot of things in the styles that I like, and I also see a lot on etsy to give you an idea). I've been really liking sculptural pieces lately. And I need an everyday necklace that's more casual than pearls (which are sort of my default)

Least favorite color?

yellow

a little about yourself:

mid-20s, married 3 years, no kids but the cutest little dog ever. I work in politics, spend a lot of time either at home or at work (I absolutely love my job but its very demanding). I dont' really go out much (although I have sort of mixed feelings about that) My style (for both dressing and decorating) is very classic with feminine touches. I love learning new things.

a little about yourself: I am 19 and in my second year of college. Hopefully I'll be in Nursing school by the fall! I like to travel, workout, dress up whenever I get a chance to. I am anything but picky so anything I have listed is just so that my SS can get some ideas :]
