Window Shopping

Confession:  My name is Ela and I am a shop-a-holic!

When we were little my Mom used to take us Window Shopping.  We weren't allowed to go in the stores, we were only allowed to look at the items in the window display.  Which actually made for some lovely days out in the city.

Oh man, the window displays in the stores in New York.  They were always so lovely, inventive and mesmerizing.  Here are some from the 2010 holiday season.  (Next year, Daniel and I will post our favorites from our trip to NYC.)

Sometimes, I like to imagine that I have $10,000 for shopping.  What stores would I go to, what items would I buy, who would I buy for?  Oh, it's so fun.  Here are some fun things I've found.  :)

These conversion prints for kitchens, made and sold by Sweet Fine Day on Etsy.

I would buy this bedding set from Pottery Barn Kids for Daniel's new room!!!

Apples and Skins

I made a HUGE purchase this weekend.  Partly because I needed something for school and partly because I really wanted to add to my Apple collection.  That's right, I bought the Apple Macbook Pro.  WOO!  What an exciting moment it was to be handed this adorable little box, too small to have a computer...yet when I opened it, there it was...my new obsession.  That's right...she (of course it's a girl) is amazing.  I love typing on her sleek keyboard, browsing the internet, watching hulu.com and downloading songs to this lovely little thing.  It's too fun!  I even like shopping for her!  Haha, I found this adorable Etsy shop called Bertie's Closet and I bought this adorable skin / case for my new computer:

There are a ton of cute designs, fabrics and sizes to pick from .  I heart elephants and got this case in yellow.  Anyways, check them out.  So cute!  Isn't shopping so much fun!
