And I know you want me too.
Why are we letting a little thing like $7,000 keep us apart?
I’ve always loved jewelry that is inscribed or has some sort of writing on it. One of my favorite necklaces is a simple silver pendant that says “Wish” on one side and “Believe” on the other. It’s not inscribed exactly, but the idea is there. I bought it right before I graduated from college, when my job prospects were slim to none and I had no idea what I was going to do with my life.
It was a rough period in my life, leave me alone, I don’t want to talk about it. ANYWAY. I don’t know what it is. Inscribed/engraved pieces look vintage-y and heirloom-y and just make me happy, so I’ve compiled a list of some of my favorites for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.

WHY AM I BEING SO SAPPY TODAY?
I think I’ve found it. The perfect dress. Tart’s Jersey Infinity Dress. Dress it up, dress it down. Wear is EIGHT different ways. Look effortlessly chic.
One of my favorite stores in the whole world and maker of my favorite jeans, Madewell, finally has an on-line store! Cheaper (and arguably cooler) than sister store J. Crew, Madewell is perfect for … well, just about anything.
Browse. Buy. Love. It’s what I’ll be doing.
Well, not for me. Winter is fast approaching here in the Southern Hemisphere, but that doesn’t mean I can’t drool over all the wonderful summer styles being released up north. Recently I’ve been really into vintage-style bathing suits. Maybe not the easiest look to pull off, but so chic when it is. Here are my favorites.

Spend away! Feel no shame! All of these gifts benefit someone less fortunate than you. Yeah, YOU. Plus, you get a tax break. That’s probably not true at all. I don’t even know what that means.
