Once upon a time there was an absolutely perfect television program on The WB called The Gilmore Girls. During a particularly charming episode, Rorie Gilmore, who portrays the type of daughter I long to have someday, was seen sporting a stunningly fabulous shirt that proudly proclaimed “Reading is Sexy.”

I desperately wanted this shirt and almost attacked my friend Jaime’s girlfriend when she walked into their living room wearing one. After prying me off of Kelly, these lovely ladies showed me where I could buy my own tee online. At the time the shirt only came in yellow and blue, so I purchased blue. But low and behold, there’s now a pink version! I must have it. Pretty please!

After getting over my initial aversion to this year’s Beaujolais Nouveau plastic wine bottle trend I was ecstatic to learn that there’s a Hello Kitty Beaujolais Nouveau. If someone can find me a bottle of this I will so be your best friend.

While I’m sipping Hello Kitty wine in my new pink tee I think I should be sporting this pink flecked sprinkles heart-shaped ring on my hand. It would really pull together the ridiculousness that is my pink accessorised life nicely.

Literally mere moments ago I frantically pulled out my wallet and ordered this adorable tee that pays homage to the unfortunate demise of Mother’s Original Circus Animal Cookies this week. Doesn’t that slogan make you feel a little weepie? Hold on I need a tissue… [link via Slashfood].

A cute cookie tee undoubtedly needs a pair of pretty funky shoes to match so when Rachel tweeted about these hot cupcake sneakers today it occurred to me that perhaps the pink culinary clothing inspired stars have aligned this afternoon.

And just because the hypothetical ensemble I’m creating in my mind isn’t over the top enough, might I suggest some Birthday Cake bling? My grandmother used to decorate a strawberry birthday cake for me each year in almost exactly this very style, sans the yellow of course.

I know I go a little loopy with the whole pink thing, but in reality it’s not my favorite color. My actual favorite color is purple and has been since I was five years old. In kindergarten I had a lavender spring coat, purple jelly shoes, and would only eat grape popsicles, but in general I don’t buy that many purple colored clothes. I have a sweater and maybe a shirt or two, but yesterday I found the most gorgeous purple winter coat online. It’s absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, it’s also $330. Which I don’t think I could ever seriously justify purchasing in a million years. Although believe me I’ve been trying for two days. So far my internal argument includes the following:

• I haven’t bought a new winter coat in three years, which technically means I’ve saved hypothetical money and I should allow myself to buy the coat.
• Winter in New England is dreary, dismal, and downright depressing. My current wool coat is black. Not exactly a mood lifting color. I theorize that this royal violet coat with accompanying grape cashmere scarf will allow me to skip about the streets in a happy daze during the bi-weekly snowstorms we’re bound to have.
• It’s pretty! It will make me feel pretty. My ratty old coat from The Gap that I bought on clearance definitely does not.

Update: I just checked availability and all of my dreams have been dashed as the coat is sold out in not only my size but pretty much every size. It’s October 7th! How can J. Crew already be sold out of a winter coat? Boo! If you happen upon a pretty purple coat in your own shopping travels will you please let me know? I’m completely enamored with the idea now.
