skylines.

Oh, how I wish I were planning a trip right now. A trip to almost anywhere. Just to get away. Alright, so I’m always sort of planning pretend trips in my head and longing to be somewhere else. How about these brand new Skyline Necklaces by Plastique as ideas of places to visit…

president’s day.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It was beautiful here in San Francisco. Did you celebrate Valentine’s Day and/or Chinese New Year? Well if any of my U.S. readers have the day off today, I hope that it is a relaxing one. I’m off to the day job soon {stop by and say hello if you’re in the neighborhood!} and thought I’d share this with you before I head out…

Alright, so maybe that’s not the most appropriate title for a post…I do love everything at Canadian-based designer Mélanie Favreau’s shop. And while I could easily wear so many of her pieces, I think this one is super awesome…

black friday. indie style.

I’ll start this post with an apology. I really do hope that I do not offend anyone who will be hitting malls or stores with huge sales. I know people that do this and it’s fine by me if that’s their {or your thing}. For me, getting in line the night before or at midnight for the famous day after Thanksgiving sales is just not my idea of fun. I can’t deal with the crowds and there really isn’t anything I need or want that badly anyway. I understand that maybe if I had children the story would be different. Anyway, the kind of shopping I would be up for is the kind where I could shop indie and be in my pajamas as I’m saving. Here are some of the places that you can find some great deals at to kick-start your holiday shopping…
