this blog was the beginning of a lot of new adventures for me, and since college {&lt;i&gt;which seems like forever ago already&lt;/i&gt;} i feel as though i&#39;ve grown out of this blog and into someone else. one of my goals for this year is to start&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;fresh&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;– to have a new home for my thoughts + inspirations. i am so excited to share with you what will be my new dot com home, which will be unveiled on&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;01.31.13&lt;/b&gt;. i have been&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;dying&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;to share this with y&#39;all and finally make things more streamline. get ready for a new website domain and blog!&lt;/div&gt;

i want to thank you all for your loyal following on this blog, suitcases &amp;amp; cardigans. this has been an incredible adventure for the past two years learning about the blogging world, sharpening my design eye, and sharing the world through my eyes with you. i&#39;m excited about this brand new journey {&lt;i&gt;eventually, this blog will be no more and will redirect to the new domain&lt;/i&gt;} and i&#39;ll be taking time off posting here to get brand new content ready on the flip side. look forward to what&#39;s ahead, y&#39;all!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
goal / rule of thumb #2 i have for this year is to &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;take more risks&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. it&#39;s so easy to get in the routine of things, like always going to the same coffee shop because you know the barista, but there&#39;s something refreshing about discovering / experiencing something new. i think there are so many benefits to taking risks and the obstacle is typically fear – fear of yourself, opinions of others, rejection, or loss.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
i hope you&#39;ll take some time this week with me and think about a long-term risk you need to take in order to help you grow, and maybe a risk you could take this week that would change up your norm. for me, this means finally learning to ride a bike,&amp;nbsp;having the courage to meet new people, being assertive and sticking to my guns.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
happy wednesday, everyone!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
last month, i had a special DIY project from &lt;a href=&quot;http://fig2design.com/&quot;&gt;fig. 2 design&lt;/a&gt; to make some fun placecards! &amp;nbsp;we worked with the oh-so-talented&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mochatini.org/&quot;&gt;manvi&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;who styled + shot this lovely tablescape in prep for a &lt;a href=&quot;http://brightbazaarblog.com/&quot;&gt;bright bazaar&lt;/a&gt; new year&#39;s bash! &amp;nbsp;it was a fun day at the office figuring out how to make party hats extra festive for this table setting.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-TjIjSMs7KO1mcVhPe2V3T9HfJCtcfaorX0WAova8IBrAvS1sHO-b18i0cfc4QZRjBjLXFw0Es1srtg40s5QwhN3cxbuS0zcZwh66TJ_ySkzLzH3iftJ6VoMmDkY8Y3Lc7U2npYkbh_QA/s1600/01.14-before.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-TjIjSMs7KO1mcVhPe2V3T9HfJCtcfaorX0WAova8IBrAvS1sHO-b18i0cfc4QZRjBjLXFw0Es1srtg40s5QwhN3cxbuS0zcZwh66TJ_ySkzLzH3iftJ6VoMmDkY8Y3Lc7U2npYkbh_QA/s640/01.14-before.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
(1) i used some of our gold&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://fig2design.com/online/category/23&quot;&gt;fig. 2 gift wrap&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to cut out these templates i discovered on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ohhappyday.com/2011/02/party-hats-diy-template/&quot;&gt;oh happy day&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the hats.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
(2) after lining the bottom with some double-sided tape, i covered it with layers of festive glitter!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
(3) for the topper, i cut up some gold tinsel {&lt;i&gt;found at your local party store&lt;/i&gt;}, taped it to a white candy stick, and inserted it at the top of the party hat.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
(4) using one of our &lt;a href=&quot;http://fig2design.com/online/category/18&quot;&gt;gift tags&lt;/a&gt;, we created placecards for each hat.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

manvi really knocks it out of the park every time and dreams these shoots beyond what we could ever imagine while creating the paper products. &amp;nbsp;thanks for making us look spectacular! &amp;nbsp;i love that this was for a new year&#39;s shoot, but it&#39;s perfect for any kind of festive event or birthday party. &amp;nbsp;thanks for having us on your blog, will!&lt;/div&gt;

hello friends! &amp;nbsp;thanks for your patience in my long posting break. &amp;nbsp;i hope you all had a great holiday as i did. &amp;nbsp;i recently enjoyed spending the beginning of my 2013 in NYC with some wonderful friends of mine – exploring museums, making memories over good eats and...getting each other sick. &amp;nbsp;it was definitely worth it to be in good company.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh54uMetjpTsWCJ0Mw2tyq2Vd8DvtUHXb5YfsAB0wiZNkFQRrPZwTRTHlgG855tPZMnOXCA-Y6NP9p9FwblOrhlSzzLDseK8mmFimfzMcvrxRPBDHW0zfmUjC2dbvYIaIWh8oM-OqU_ck22/s1600/Screen+shot+2013-01-08+at+10.58.28+PM.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh54uMetjpTsWCJ0Mw2tyq2Vd8DvtUHXb5YfsAB0wiZNkFQRrPZwTRTHlgG855tPZMnOXCA-Y6NP9p9FwblOrhlSzzLDseK8mmFimfzMcvrxRPBDHW0zfmUjC2dbvYIaIWh8oM-OqU_ck22/s1600/Screen+shot+2013-01-08+at+10.58.28+PM.png&quot; title=&quot;new york instagrams | @iamtravelsize&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
it&#39;s actually taken me a long time to really comb through 2012 to reflect upon it. &amp;nbsp;and i&#39;ve just scratched the surface on thinking about 2013...what my goals might be and such. &amp;nbsp;i finally started thinking about it on my 4.5-hour bus ride from DC to NYC, and in some ways it made me quite depressed thinking about what i wanted for myself a year ago and how i haven&#39;t &quot;reached&quot; my ridiculously lofty goals. &amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;what a way to humble myself.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
i&#39;ve resolved to make some general goals / rules to live by for the year, which i will begin to share with you here. &amp;nbsp;i&#39;ve been inspired by a few articles my friends have posted, mainly these two {&lt;a href=&quot;http://99u.com/articles/6947/What-Happened-to-Downtime-The-Extinction-of-Deep-Thinking-Sacred-Space&quot;&gt;one&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.abeautifulmess.com/2013/01/never-stop-learning.html&quot;&gt;two&lt;/a&gt;}. &amp;nbsp; never have i had a problem with dreaming. &amp;nbsp;i like to dream, and dream big. &amp;nbsp;the issue seems to be how to be practical in my season of life and learning how to connect the dots. so, here&#39;s to 2013 and my first goal / rule of the year.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://suitcasesandcardigans.blogspot.com/2013/01/welcome-2013.html&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFCYisb7F_hPi9Kf8NCq-3x9MQxcGXRA8fcphqDR9AMGKrgX-8xs1X18dZ592rJoYwe3sYdCtVezhyRaRwJXBQC70aRBNWtkosLyGcSGOsztUIolj9jegA47nzXllDzh1fGhyCU-EcN3_L/s320/be-there-free-quotable-poster.jpeg&quot; title=&quot;quote via shrimp salad circus&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
{one}&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;unplug once a week.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
okay, this may sound really simple, but i think this will be a legitimate challenge for me seeing as how i own an iphone and frequently &lt;a href=&quot;http://instagram.com/iamtravelsize&quot;&gt;instagram&lt;/a&gt; + &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/iamtravelsize&quot;&gt;tweet&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;i&#39;m not one to go overboard and post all my emotions on the world wide web, but i know {&lt;i&gt;and always have to re-realize&lt;/i&gt;} that fresh air and a pen + paper do very well for me – emotionally, physically and&amp;nbsp;spiritually. &amp;nbsp;in my efforts to be an active participant in others&#39; lives and my own, this is my first rule for the year!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
i&#39;d say this is a good start.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
cheers, y&#39;all!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
xoxo, m&lt;/div&gt;

• it&#39;s amazing to see all the talented people in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forbes.com/special-report/2012/30-under-30/30-under-30.html&quot;&gt;forbes&#39; 30 under 30&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;this year, including musicians like taylor swift, designers like &lt;a href=&quot;http://jessicahische.is/&quot;&gt;jessica hische&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and founders of companies like &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dropbox.com/&quot;&gt;dropbox&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reddit.com/&quot;&gt;reddit&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;what ridiculous talent out there.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
• if you&#39;re in need of some good humor, you should watch this fake commercial for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsgR7uUxyhQ&quot;&gt;averagé - America&#39;s most popular clothing line&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;about guys fashion. &amp;nbsp;i think it&#39;s brilliant and quite humorous...&lt;/div&gt;

this is the last time these digits will happen in our lifetime. &amp;nbsp;i&#39;m sure everyone has heard about this by now, but i wanted to share this amazing video from google. &amp;nbsp;i can&#39;t believe another year is almost over – they just go by faster as you get older, it seems. &amp;nbsp;check out lots of interesting stats about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/zeitgeist/2012/#the-world&quot;&gt;what people searched for on google in 2012&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;i also found this article in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theatlanticwire.com/entertainment/2012/12/121212-users-guide/59893/&quot;&gt;the atlantic wire&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;about today&#39;s date&amp;nbsp;quite hilarious.&lt;/div&gt;

what a crazy year it&#39;s been, but i&#39;m definitely looking forward to 2013.&lt;/div&gt;

yesterday i helped with a special &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/category/HOME-CHILDRENS-EVENT_ME.jsp?cm_re=November_12-_-110912footertest-_-holidaychildrenevent&quot;&gt;arctic crafts for kids&lt;/a&gt; at anthropologie event at my store and it was such a blast! &amp;nbsp;we made snow globes out of mason jars and had coloring activities for the younger ones. &amp;nbsp;i had a lot of responses on my instagram image {&lt;i&gt;believe it or not&lt;/i&gt;} on how to do this, so here&#39;s a little how-to to kick off the week.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8zgx-V0thMcclkrZv1i6KiEX40oQsb8UE8tKleRQQbEQL_n11e9tSa58ul6rG9w9STdQioTYnbf9el4pN3Ho6o9Zf19ZxS6eAkfrHMNlEhYXLWC4fNbK8-CIZWrvOud7nB8IZJHKG3j3X/s1600/12.10-snowglobe-1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8zgx-V0thMcclkrZv1i6KiEX40oQsb8UE8tKleRQQbEQL_n11e9tSa58ul6rG9w9STdQioTYnbf9el4pN3Ho6o9Zf19ZxS6eAkfrHMNlEhYXLWC4fNbK8-CIZWrvOud7nB8IZJHKG3j3X/s640/12.10-snowglobe-1.jpg&quot; title=&quot;snow globes / anthropologie / suitcases &amp;amp; cardigans&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
we actually took this DIY from the queen – &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marthastewart.com/276346/how-to-make-a-snow-globe/@center/307034/christmas-workshop#193481&quot;&gt;martha stewart&lt;/a&gt; – but i&#39;ll explain here what we did.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;here are the materials you&#39;ll need:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
• mason / canning jars {&lt;i&gt;they seal tightly and are a good, heavy weight&lt;/i&gt;}&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
•&amp;nbsp;centerpieces of your choice {&lt;i&gt;we got trees + penguins&lt;/i&gt;}&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
•&amp;nbsp;distilled water {you can&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;buy by the gallon at a grocery store&lt;/i&gt;}&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
•&amp;nbsp;glycerin {a&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;small bottle should suffice unless you&#39;re making more than 25&lt;/i&gt;}&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
•&amp;nbsp;hot glue or gorilla glue {&lt;i&gt;something that&#39;s heavy duty + fast-drying&lt;/i&gt;}&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
•&amp;nbsp;glitter! {&lt;i&gt;any kind, any color&lt;/i&gt;}&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqEHsrQG1VB3ifJnWvRz9gvFRClhed0RAOFpMeC8eKhX1rnzS27q0bRApnT2S95397LK_fyMWkPcSkmXT7wlk6K_9UEh0MgBAxgsFLcQXARpR3vIj-7ZjizzFr0w6fd7ZG-3oUyIOlaX75/s1600/12.10-snowglobe-materials.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;312&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqEHsrQG1VB3ifJnWvRz9gvFRClhed0RAOFpMeC8eKhX1rnzS27q0bRApnT2S95397LK_fyMWkPcSkmXT7wlk6K_9UEh0MgBAxgsFLcQXARpR3vIj-7ZjizzFr0w6fd7ZG-3oUyIOlaX75/s640/12.10-snowglobe-materials.jpg&quot; title=&quot;DIY snow globes materials&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
my awesome manager who i worked with on the event went to local stores {&lt;i&gt;like&amp;nbsp;walmart, target, michael&#39;s, walgreens, toys &#39;r&#39; us&lt;/i&gt;} in search of fun holiday things to put in the snow globes. &amp;nbsp;she chose these small christmas trees that came in a variety of colors and a bucket of small&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;happy feet&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;penguins, but you could use anything you want!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;// step 1: pick out your centerpieces + hot glue to the jar lid&lt;/b&gt; {&lt;i&gt;we did all the gluing for our kids, and you may want to as well especially if you go with gorilla glue&lt;/i&gt;}. &amp;nbsp;you want to make sure that your centerpieces will fit&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;inside&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;the rim of the mason jar top so you can still close the jar later.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMAiOVqNPbHwpiqt4aKwMXYwGvvdzyaOzpOTyI3aUC2nU3I1auncafQynEea27yFG0GRfxFgqtwV0kkPxDs_7IpBcyIRSX86dBNsHMaPFozji1NqCotubVtY1yd2VAXCZu9zwg1ZGKnFoA/s1600/12.10-snowglobe-2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMAiOVqNPbHwpiqt4aKwMXYwGvvdzyaOzpOTyI3aUC2nU3I1auncafQynEea27yFG0GRfxFgqtwV0kkPxDs_7IpBcyIRSX86dBNsHMaPFozji1NqCotubVtY1yd2VAXCZu9zwg1ZGKnFoA/s640/12.10-snowglobe-2.jpg&quot; title=&quot;DIY snow globes in mason jars / suitcases &amp;amp; cardigans&quot; width=&quot;577&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;// step 2: while the glue is drying, fill the mason jar to the rim with water and a dash of glycerin.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
the glycerin gives the water more density so the snow gets that slow falling effect we all love.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
{&lt;i&gt;if you&#39;re using the quart size mason jar, about one squeeze will do. &amp;nbsp;for smaller sizes, i&#39;d suggest half a squeeze.&lt;/i&gt;}&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;then, add whatever glitter{s} you&#39;d like to the water.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
{&lt;i&gt;you&#39;ll start to notice the glitter will &quot;fall&quot; from the surface of the water – stir it around until more falls to get an idea of how much snow you have. &amp;nbsp;it&#39;s really easy to end up with a &#39;blizzard&#39;, so start small}&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2h8lQlW6Xn566mBMJiD3bmp-1WC-NjiLIVewXaODcAonxZ5GdhAZ31ONxgiuXhglfUW3EkdBDqA0wSRxkeSHwrlTsBFqQ-koBhOvqE2oY7wWv-bTOrE7t-jKHkghpt9Ib-hxHhgrfWfX0/s1600/12.10-snowglobes-3.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2h8lQlW6Xn566mBMJiD3bmp-1WC-NjiLIVewXaODcAonxZ5GdhAZ31ONxgiuXhglfUW3EkdBDqA0wSRxkeSHwrlTsBFqQ-koBhOvqE2oY7wWv-bTOrE7t-jKHkghpt9Ib-hxHhgrfWfX0/s400/12.10-snowglobes-3.jpg&quot; width=&quot;341&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;// step 3: put the lid with your centerpieces on the jar as you would normally and seal tightly. &amp;nbsp;flip your mason jar over + shake!&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; you&#39;ll have a little winter wonderland in front of your eyes. &amp;nbsp;we watching many a kids&#39; eye light up with delight when it began to snow, even many of the adults were even mesmerized and asked us how we did it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3VEkLz5M1gN0t6cUehisfNUSWXwsTgNMNGhrjYu2Y6jw2uMaOIRVCqOY8JpgW0GewcKcqCLSocnZPwSwAyEVHZJfs_mA-U3L4hDe1aASs8SX1DmjMW9fHNSvn2NiXUq_OQdDY_O4Xx5WX/s1600/12.10-snowglobe-4.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3VEkLz5M1gN0t6cUehisfNUSWXwsTgNMNGhrjYu2Y6jw2uMaOIRVCqOY8JpgW0GewcKcqCLSocnZPwSwAyEVHZJfs_mA-U3L4hDe1aASs8SX1DmjMW9fHNSvn2NiXUq_OQdDY_O4Xx5WX/s640/12.10-snowglobe-4.jpg&quot; width=&quot;488&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
we &lt;b&gt;let the kids get creative&lt;/b&gt; – some chose to have a family of penguins in their snow globe instead of a tree, some kids mixed the colors of glitter we had available. &amp;nbsp;it really depends on how large the centerpieces are and how well they fit in the mason jar. &amp;nbsp;i hope you guys enjoyed this and will make snow globes of your own this season because it is &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; easy!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
happy holidays!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

totally jamming to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zagg9cJdxZ0&quot;&gt;this song&lt;/a&gt; tonight because it has been one &lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;really&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt; long week {yes, in all it&#39;s &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;italic&lt;/i&gt; &lt;u&gt;underlined&lt;/u&gt; goodness}. &amp;nbsp;and if you haven&#39;t started yet, it&#39;s time to get ready for the holidays! like these pups. &amp;nbsp;here are some of my favorite links from the week:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- my favorite post this week is called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mapsandraps.com/post/37195906507/starting-somewhere&quot;&gt;starting somewhere&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;written by my childhood friend, valerie of the blog&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mapsandraps.com/&quot;&gt;maps and raps&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;it&#39;s great to have things put back in perspective and sometimes it&#39;s wise to take the same advice we give to others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- looking for ways to spruce up your home this season without the hefty price tag? &amp;nbsp;these &lt;a href=&quot;http://theeverygirl.com/feature/holiday-week-10-easy-affordable-tips-to-bring-the-holidays-into-your-home/&quot;&gt;affordable tips to bring the holidays into your home&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;are perfect from &lt;a href=&quot;http://theeverygirl.com/&quot;&gt;the everygirl&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- if anyone lives in portland, you have got to go to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://portlandbazaar.com/&quot;&gt;portland bazaa&lt;span id=&quot;goog_452079849&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;goog_452079850&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;! &amp;nbsp;just looking at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sfgirlbybay.com/2012/12/04/portland-bazaar-part-deux/&quot;&gt;sf girl by bay&lt;/a&gt;&#39;s post makes me drool like cray cray – check out all that great stuff!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- anthropologie has a great &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/category/employee+must-haves%3a+couples+gifts/anthro-mag-picks_me.jsp&quot;&gt;couples shopping list&lt;/a&gt; for this season if you&#39;re buying for that special someone and are stuck on what to get them this year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
a video to get you in the christmas spirit from &lt;a href=&quot;http://gawker.com/5965801/mariah-carey-jimmy-fallon-and-the-roots-perform-maybe-the-best+ever-rendition-of-all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you&quot;&gt;gawker&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;– the kiddos are &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; cute.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;allowfullscreen&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;360&quot; src=&quot;http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/sWEfszb9h8Q&quot; width=&quot;640&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
and, finally...if you haven&#39;t gotten yourself a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.starbucks.com/menu/food/bakery/marshmallow-dream-bar&quot;&gt;marshmallow dream bar&lt;/a&gt; from starbucks, go get one! {&lt;i&gt;forget reading the nutrition facts on this one, guys&lt;/i&gt;}&amp;nbsp;one of my managers introduced me {&lt;i&gt;and i don&#39;t even &lt;u&gt;like&lt;/u&gt; marshmallows&lt;/i&gt;} and it tastes like childhood. &amp;nbsp;yes, this is totally worth noting on a weekend post.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
have a fantastic weekend!&lt;br /&gt;

oh boy, has it been a long week so far or what?? &amp;nbsp;today is just a good reminder to keep your head up. &amp;nbsp;this video literally made me tear up real good when i first saw it. &amp;nbsp;she makes me believe that there are really better things ahead – and there really are – but sometimes it&#39;s hard to see past current circumstances + challenges. &amp;nbsp;i hope all of you catch a good glimpse of sunlight this week and remember to keep pressing on!&lt;/div&gt;

one of the best things about working retail this time of year is getting to see all the amazing winter wear, ornaments, and holiday decor come fresh out of the shipping boxes. &amp;nbsp;i&#39;m particularly a fan of many of our new shiny gadgets at &lt;a href=&quot;http://anthropologie.com/&quot;&gt;anthropologie&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;these are some of my favorites that will make your holiday party a little extra fancy this year.&lt;/div&gt;

it&#39;s getting quite chilly here and a part of me is just ready for the snow already! &amp;nbsp;i often feel like bearing the cold isn&#39;t worth it unless there&#39;s some white flakes on the ground, but that rarely happens in texas so i&#39;m excited to be seeing some this year! &amp;nbsp;winter means bundling up, toasty fireplaces, the smells + joys of Christmas and ice skating. &amp;nbsp;what are you looking forward to this winter?&lt;/div&gt;

oh, trust me. &amp;nbsp;i know some mornings are like this. &amp;nbsp;you&#39;re laying in bed a little less than eager to get up cause it&#39;s cold outside, cause you&#39;re thinking of everything you have to do, cause you feel sick to the bone, cause you just don&#39;t want to&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;deal&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;anymore. &amp;nbsp;but everyone&#39;s felt this before and chances are you&#39;ll feel this way again at some point...just remember to get up and go get &#39;em.&lt;/div&gt;

i hope you all have a very wonderful thanksgiving weekend. &amp;nbsp;i&#39;m doing a quick texas stop in houston and dallas this week {as you have probably seen in my &lt;a href=&quot;http://instagram.com/iamtravelsize&quot;&gt;instagrams&lt;/a&gt;}, so i&#39;ll be taking a hiatus from the blog for the week. &amp;nbsp;i&#39;ve been so blessed by many in texas and it&#39;s such a special thing to gather everyone together for the holidays. &amp;nbsp;it&#39;s sweet to see familiar faces and be with loved ones like the good &#39;ol days, even though things have changed.&lt;/div&gt;

i love wearing my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/dressshop-winter/25877515.jsp&quot;&gt;adelita brocade mini dress&lt;/a&gt; for the holidays! &amp;nbsp;it&#39;s so festive + classy with a great keyhole in the back...oh, and it has &lt;i&gt;pockets&lt;/i&gt;. &amp;nbsp;i also went to the cutest stationery shop in houston the other day. &amp;nbsp;be sure to check out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.phdesignshop.com/&quot;&gt;ph design shop&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;

as of late, i&#39;ve had some delicious grub. &amp;nbsp;i don&#39;t usually post about the food i eat, but with the new &lt;a href=&quot;http://instagram.com/iamtravelsize&quot;&gt;instagram pages&lt;/a&gt; working now i thought it was fitting {&lt;i&gt;though i&#39;m disappointed you can&#39;t download the images from the webpage&lt;/i&gt;}. &amp;nbsp;here&#39;s some yum!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3i0p3bD-tfjwP3DAKLXl-rF44DoDZaihFfM7muZiJw3fuOj6TJb6fhzk7Z3WGxeB0juH3vzoNhp11d-O-ctBtCBten1qZ2uZxDo59aEvw7qO8X0BhD6pIT8OMkZbjosBm3Avc3rRIYq31/s1600/11.12-good-eats.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;425&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3i0p3bD-tfjwP3DAKLXl-rF44DoDZaihFfM7muZiJw3fuOj6TJb6fhzk7Z3WGxeB0juH3vzoNhp11d-O-ctBtCBten1qZ2uZxDo59aEvw7qO8X0BhD6pIT8OMkZbjosBm3Avc3rRIYq31/s640/11.12-good-eats.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
{one} my first time at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jaleo.com/&quot;&gt;jaleo&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;by&amp;nbsp;José Andrés was delicious. &amp;nbsp;i went with a few experts who knew the menu. &amp;nbsp;we got a variety of cheeses, apples + manchego, and red beet salad (&lt;i&gt;pictured&lt;/i&gt;), along with patatas bravas and hanger steak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{two} anyone who&#39;s been to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodstuffeatery.com/&quot;&gt;good stuff eatery&lt;/a&gt; by the capitol knows it is &lt;i&gt;goood&lt;/i&gt; stuff. &amp;nbsp;their hand-spun shakes are to die for and everyone loves spike&#39;s sunnyside burger {&lt;i&gt;my personal favorite is the &#39;shroom burger&lt;/i&gt;}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{three} kimbab aka korean sushi is easily one of my favorite korean snack foods. &amp;nbsp;i got some the other day at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yelp.com/biz/mandu-rang-kimbob-erang-annandale#query:mandoo%20rang&quot;&gt;mandu rang kimbab erang&lt;/a&gt;, this little white house in Annandale. &amp;nbsp;it&#39;s a small shop, but truly authentic and reasonably priced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{four} right next door is a more noticeable restaurant called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yelp.com/biz/to-sok-jip-annandale&quot;&gt;to sok jip&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;make sure you bring a korean-speaking friend with you, otherwise you&#39;ll have a difficult time ordering here. &amp;nbsp;everything is good here, but they&#39;re especially known for their soups and bibimbap {&lt;i&gt;what i ordered, pictured above&lt;/i&gt;}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{five} and how can you forget dessert?! &amp;nbsp;i am obsessed with &lt;a href=&quot;http://sweetlobby.com/&quot;&gt;the sweet lobby&lt;/a&gt; in eastern market. &amp;nbsp;i love their macarons, but their cupcakes are equally as delicious! &amp;nbsp;you can never go wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
feast away, my friends!&lt;br /&gt;
xoxo, m&lt;/div&gt;

when i own a house one day, it will all be over. &amp;nbsp;i will probably be very broke from funneling all my funds to that of my new abode. &amp;nbsp;good thing i don&#39;t have a house right now and am very stingy when it comes to purchasing home goods since i&#39;m never in one place for very long.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

sorry for being MIA all this time! &amp;nbsp;it&#39;s been a crazy fest with hurricane sandy coming through, but i promise for more regular posting to resume next week! &amp;nbsp;i have been busy working at &lt;a href=&quot;http://anthropologie.com/&quot;&gt;anthropologie&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;the past few months (if you haven&#39;t noticed from my instagram). &amp;nbsp;we&#39;re gearing up from the holidays and the Christmas music has already begun at our store. &amp;nbsp;here&#39;s a little sneak peek at a new dress i splurged on from anthro that i am &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; excited about!&lt;/div&gt;

sorry, halloween fanatics. &amp;nbsp;i&#39;ve never been a fan of the holiday, but i&#39;m thrilled that thanksgiving and christmas are right around the corner (and i think this dress is perfect for the occasion!).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
