Hey, Santa

Hey, Santa. If you're reading this, I'm really digging this railroad spike bracelet by Giles & Brother. You know how to find me.

The Woodsfolk

The Woodsfolk advertises itself as a "family store" selling a thoughtful selection of items for all ages. It's the kind of store I could see myself spending a lot of time (and money...) in. Since it's located in Australia, I guess my wallet is safe. For now. P.S. How kick ass is that logo!?

Zara Home Stateside

Last year, when I was traveling in Spain I fell upon Zara Home (a division of my beloved Zara) and fell deeply in love. There were dishes, towels, duvets, barware and scented candles...and I wanted it all. Without a suitcase large enough to haul back my discoveries, I’m thankful that Zara Home is now available online and is offering free shipping through the month of October! I’m doing some early Christmas shopping (...for myself...oops) and these were some of my favorite things. Spoiler Alert – everyone on my list is getting this.

Olympic Style

Are you all watching the Summer Olympics? It's all the rage at our house. If you have Olympic fever (like me) and need some good gear, I suggest taking a trip to the Gap. I am digging the vintage original designs and p.s. they are so ridiculously soft.

They're available for purchase online at gap.com. Happy Shopping!

Fish + Fish's Eddy

I'm a big fan of Fish's Eddy, so I was thrilled when I walked by last week and saw these Charley Harper designs in the window. I've always loved Charley Harper's birds, and his fish are just as great!
