Christmas Wish Lists

In an effort to save money, my husband and I are opting out of gift-giving this holiday season, and asking our families to do the same.  In the long run, we'd rather have our dream house than a new necklace, jacket, pair of shoes...etc. However, a girl can't help but make an online wish list and lust over a few items this holiday season, just for fun, of course...  

I'm currently loving:

+ this duvet cover

+ this tote

+ this sweater and this sweater

+ this closet organizing contraption

+ this platter and this platter

+ these boots

+ this necklace

+ this headband

+ this candle

+ these earrings

+ this jacket

Isn't Christmas list making fun?  What's on your wish list this year?

Next up... Christmas wish list for baby...

Transit Maps of the World

I need this book! I don't know what it is, but there is something fascinating to me about subway maps. I find these intricate underground networks captivating, everything is connected! I think it all stems from the fact that I'm actually quite envious Seattle DOES NOT have a transit system like this.

I'm proud to say I've successfully navigated transit systems in quite a few cities, domestic and international; New York City, London, Prague, Paris, Rome, and Tokyo. Of all I've experienced, London is the fanciest, and Tokyo while the cleanest, is definitely the most complicated. In the big cities like Osaka, there are entire cities underground; malls, department stores, it's utter insanity, navigating the subway is truly an art form in Japan.

Kate Spadelicious

Green is my favorite color and with St. Patrick's Day rapidly approaching, I am finding a new appreciation for all things green...including this lovely, green Kate Spade clutch. If only I had an extra $325 lying around...
