Lucite Delight
I love the crisp, bold and modern feel of this lucite lamp from Aaron R. Thomas. The open space in the base is just perfect for tucking away that bedtime read.

spring comes at vagabond
I took one of my retail therapy decompress and relax jonts out and about Olde City today. I decided to stop in Vagabond Boutique, when I spotted this super cute pair of suede Rachel Comey perforated open-toe oxford pumps in the window. Gorgeous!

There are a number of fabulous new spring pieces, but I particularly fell in love with this little japanese-inspired cardigan/jacket/button-down from Aoyama Itchome.

There was also a film crew in the boutique filming a "Best of Shopping" segment for Philadelphia Weekly (at least I think it was Philly Weekly. I was nervous.) They interviewed me and filmed me trying on a few things in front of the mirror, so maybe you'll see me doing one of the things that I do best (um...shopping). It was fun, and it was a highlight of a day that otherwise wasn't going so well.
