I covered a story yesterday about TOMS shoes founder Blake Mycoskie’s announcement to expand to more than just shoes. I can’t believe I had never known about TOMS shoes’ One for One model; for every shoe sold, one is donated to a child in need. Imagine what the world could accomplish if this was every business’s model.
I wanna get these canvas classics for my summer bike rides.
I wrote my first post for Refinery29 today about products you can purchase whose proceeds go to help with relief efforts in Japan and spreads the message. Every action, no matter how small, counts. We are all citizens of the same planet.

On my walk home from work today, I passed by this little globe in the window of a toy shop. I have a strange love for globes and have been wanting to buy one for a while now but I couldn’t justify the purchase because my apartment is just so cluttered. But this one in the window was just a tiny globe so I had to buy it. So far the only space I could find for it is wedged between my books on the bookshelf (fittingly next to my travel guides). I’ll de-clutter soon, I swear!
I’m dying for the opportunity to give it a little spin and see where my next travel destination will be!
Are you guys tired of looking at my Christmas gifts yet? Well I’m not! I just came home to find this beautifully wrapped package from London in the mail today. (It took a little long because somebody forgot to write the postcode on the package. 
)
In the package were these adorable kitty gloves. I’ll be extra careful not to lose these!
…and this sweet NYC necklace. It will be a constant reminder of one of my most fun days in NYC where I visited the Statue of Liberty for the first time.
Thank you, Hans!
I finally purchased frames and found time to hang up these new prints on my inspiration wall.
I think they fit perfectly.
