			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-81" title="sb10068103b-001" src="http://www.acomplicatedmelody.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/sb10068103b-001.jpg" alt="sb10068103b-001" width="500" /></p>
<p>Hey Santa Baby, Wondering what to get me for Christmas?! Only 10 days to go! You better get on it.</p>
<p>No, really just incase some reader yearning to play Secret Santa and wondering what is on my Christmas List or maybe that special person on your list, here are some awesomely fabulous gifts that will make anyone do the happy dance. Just my ultimate wishlist&#8230; Where is Oprah when you need her?! Yeah, it&#8217;s a recession, but a girl can dream can&#8217;t she?!</p>
<p>In no particular order&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-82" title="maddenboots" src="http://www.acomplicatedmelody.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/maddenboots.jpg" alt="maddenboots" width="500" height="268" /></p>
<p>They say the way to a man&#8217;s heart is through his <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">wang</span> heart, well the way to a woman&#8217;s is through her feet! A sista can always use a great pair of boots and no boot is complete with out a hangbag to match. Preferably a big bag!  Girls always need a  hawt big bag. I am in love with these simple, yet gorgeous knee high boots from <a href="http://www.stevemadden.com" target="_blank">Steve Madden</a> in Cognac. The &#8220;Ensue&#8221; boot, now on sale for $159, goes fabulously with the &#8220;BWovent&#8221; in the same beautiful Cognac color, only $79. Picture these with a dark denim skinny jean and a teal cowl next sweater&#8230;(see below) and you have a winter lunch date ensemble. That&#8217;ll be a size 8, Santa. Please, and thank you!</p>
<p><span id="more-80"></span></p>
<p>Speaking of cowl neck sweaters&#8230; I&#8217;ll take this one in every color! Only$25 at Target&#8230; That&#8217;s Tar-Jay to those who don&#8217;t know.I love these because you can dress them up and go casual as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-83" title="cowlnecktarget" src="http://www.acomplicatedmelody.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/cowlnecktarget.jpg" alt="cowlnecktarget" width="500" height="261" /></p>
<p>Sticking with fashion, I am alway in need of a new clutch&#8230; Nothing is more chic than a great clutch that catches the eye and completes the esemble. I can&#8217;t take her singing but <a href="http://www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com" target="_blank">Jessica Simpson</a> can sell me a shoe or handbag anytime, and now she finally has a website of her own. So again I&#8217;ll take these in Apricot, Blackberry, and Olive. Gotta have diversity in colors.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-84" title="jsclutch" src="http://www.acomplicatedmelody.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/jsclutch.jpg" alt="jsclutch" width="500" height="261" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85" title="identifyleather" src="http://www.acomplicatedmelody.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/identifyleather.jpg" alt="identifyleather" width="500" height="261" /></p>
<p>So living in Louisiana, I rarely have the need for a leather coat. You it snows randomly once every 20 years and 5 days later it&#8217;s nearly 70 degrees, but a nice belted leather coat is still on my ultimate must-have list&#8230; Identify has two great coats that I am dying to have. Of course the butter color option is the one I am drawn to, it is also $448 at <a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=122097&amp;CategoryID=10921&amp;PartnerID=SHP&amp;cm_mmc=PMD-_-Froogle-_-Product_Terms-_-Identify_Women%27s_Belted_Leather_Jacket&amp;utm_source=GoogleProduct&amp;utm_medium=organic" target="_blank">Bloomingdales</a> and the brown one is 65% off retail at <a href="http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/Identify-Womens-Belted-Leather-Jacket/3477054/product.html" target="_blank">Overstock.com</a> for $119. Either would make a great addition to the closet!</p>
<p>Sooo&#8230; on to some techie junkie gifts that I need in my life. Yes need.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-86" title="macbookpro" src="http://www.acomplicatedmelody.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/macbookpro.jpg" alt="macbookpro" width="500" height="261" /></p>
<p>Any bloggers dream is the gorgeous and sleek Mac Book Pro. Or at least mine. For the super duper 4GB memory and 320GB storage, it&#8217;ll run you $2500, while the 2GB memory and 250GB storage version is $2000. I say go all out and go for the gusto! Sigh. Probably my most ultimate wish. So Santa Baby, I have been a really good girl this year. I promise. With a cherry top. [That always worked with dad.] *crossing fingers*</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-87" title="sp8330rimr_lpi" src="http://www.acomplicatedmelody.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/sp8330rimr_lpi.gif" alt="sp8330rimr_lpi" width="270" height="410" /></p>
<p>I have the iPhone, so I figured I&#8217;d joing the BlackBerry crowd too&#8230; I have to diversify my technical skills, right? Plus, the iPhone doesn&#8217;t come in my favorite color red!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-88" title="nikon" src="http://www.acomplicatedmelody.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/nikon.jpg" alt="nikon" width="500" height="261" /></p>
<p>Darn, how those Ashton Kutcher commercials have sucked me in! Plus, I&#8217;m a closet photog. Well maybe it&#8217;s no secret with all the pictures I take of myself LOL. So If I had my pick of camera, Santa can drop off the Nikon S60 with uber cool touch screen [in red of course] and the D90 for the professional pictures.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-91" title="51686y12gbl_ss400_" src="http://www.acomplicatedmelody.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/51686y12gbl_ss400_.jpg" alt="51686y12gbl_ss400_" width="400" height="400" /></p>
<p>You may notice that I love food and I love to cook. Especially trying new recipes. One thing that I think is great for any kitchen is a good deep fryer. Makes for easier and cleaner frying. Love this compact Cuisinart Deep Fryer on sale for $50 at Amazon.com.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d also like peace on Earth, the war to end, and the economy to turn around! So thank you Santa for my early Christmas gift on November 4th!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-92" title="barackobama1" src="http://www.acomplicatedmelody.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/barackobama1.jpg" alt="barackobama1" width="500" /></p>
<p>This is no sales pitch either, I don&#8217;t get a dime from these retailers! Just a little fun.</p>

<p>If you want to support Barack Obama in the most fashionable way, check out these newly added items! Now I know there are tons of people selling Obama shirts but I feel better going directly to his official store so that his campaign can get 100% of the profits.</p>
<p>Some of fashion&#8217;s biggest and most sought after designers has offered their Change inspired designs to help raise funds for the Obama Biden Campaign. From tees to scarves to totes, there are some fantabulous pieces in the <a href="http://store.barackobama.com/Runway_To_Change_s/1034.htm" target="_blank">&#8220;Runway to Change Project&#8221;</a> that &#8220;I&#8217;D DIE&#8221; [a la Rachel Zoe] to have in my closet.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Tracy Reece  |  Zac Posen  |  Diane Von Furstenberg</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I love love love the Diane Von Fuerstenberg &#8220;Obama 08 Love&#8221; tote, just a mere $75! I so want it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Most of the tops will run you $60, but remember that the proceeds will go to the Obama Biden Campaign, you can look at it as a donation with a nice gift in return! I&#8217;ve already spent about 70 bucks on tees, buttons, and magnets&#8230;</p>
