My BDay List

A Gemini Gift Guide

Hi Y’all!

It’s my birthday tomorrow and it’s been a busy week, so I’m coming to you with a quick peek into my personal birthday wishlist! Just in case you didn’t already get me something ;) Feel free to adopt as your own or use as inspo for the Geminis in your life! (I believe we are the most misunderstood of the zodiac signs and get a lot of grief for no good reason! We’re fun and nice, I promise!) In reality, I have everything I could ask for, including you, dear reader! Thanks for supporting Amuse Bouche!

GEMINI GIFT GUIDE*

This is more of my personal wishlist, but I’m guessing my Gem sisters wouldn’t mind any of the below :)

Chanel Flats - I have a TRR saved search for both red and brown ballet flats and Matthieu must have read my mind and combined the shades for my perfect shoe. I don’t have a Chanel ballerina and these just look incredible choice for my first pair! Sadly like most of the new Chanel these are very sold out unless you use a sourcer like The Coveted.

Underwater Weaving - I’m ready for my basket girl summer to begin. Their new color ways are tantalizing! I’m enchanted by the phone trug and the striped totes!

TWP Hat - The chokehold this hat has on me! It’s just so chic and will do wonders protecting my face from the sun this summer. Verging into need, not want territory.

Dorsey Anklets - Once May hits, I feel naked without an anklet on! It really feels like the finishing touch to a lewk and gives me that summer break feeling, even if I’m just running errands. Dorsey’s enamel collection is A+ (Haven’t taken off my pieces since I got them. Almost all sold out!!) and I’m also flirting with the floating diamond one! So fab.

Ginori Teapot - The next piece I have my eye on for my budding Ginori collection. As you may know, I’m a tea lover and am ready to step up my steeping game! Who wants to come over for a cuppa and some sandwiches?!

Sabre Cutlery - I love my red set of bistro flatware and find myself reaching for them every meal. I think it’s time to introduce another shade! Considering asparagus or navy?! The ivory is beautiful too.

Celine Bag - Damn you Michael Rider! Everything he’s doing at Celine feels so seductive and fresh. I’m hooked! These patchwork bags are really delightful, but I’m pretty sure we can get very similar at any French flea market :)

Lorenza Wine - Bonus gift! It’s that time of year for my annual birthday sale! An excellent time to stock up on rosé, spritzes, NA sparkling and chilled reds! Take 20% off sitewide on lorenzawine.com through the weekend! Santé!

Besides the Summer House reunion and Roland Garros the thing I’m most obsessed with is my new favorite cleansing balm! I must confess, I never actually wash my face at night. Of course, I take my makeup off using micellar water or a wipe but a full face washing session would just get water all over so I would skip it! I’ve been using the Blue Lagoon cleansing balm for the past month and absolutely love it. You apply it to dry skin, then get your hands wet and emulsify the balm on your face, massage to remove makeup and then rinse! Super hydrating and gentle but takes off all your makeup/spf/etc and hasn’t broken me out! It’s going to be my new travel trick too since it wont spill in your toiletry bag. Oder the travel size or just decant into this! Now I’m looking forward to my evening cleanse and feel so fresh and happy afterwards, hence why I’m j’obsessed!

Thank you for being with me again this week! I feel so lucky to have such a sweet community here, y’all are really a gift and I have so much fun putting together my silly little newsletters for you. If you dig it, throw a heart or a comment on! Have a fab weekend. I’ll be celebrating on a little getaway with some steak frites, friends and Miss Baby! Very excited.
