Since I don’t want to buy pants online, I haven’t bought a pair of pants in a year. Can you imagine? The reason we finally have money in our savings account? No pants buying. But Peter and I have so many pent-up shopping needs since the forced austerity in Rome and since we have been sitting here in the land of no shopping for ten long months. Can’t wait to get to France. And Anthropologie in Portland. And Goodwill. I’m going to go to Goodwill everyday. Peter’s on a classical music buying kick and he and REI are especially close lately. Here are my little online indulgences, I’m insane with waiting for them.

Tiny dolls from a 150 year old French company, perfect dress from agnes b, Nigella Lawson measuring cups I should have bought when I first saw them and held them in my hot little hands last summer.

    Can you believe I spent three years in Chile without shopping!? Argh. And there was no internet back then. The first thing I did when I got to SanFran was kiss my Mom hello and fly like mad out to the Stonestown Shopping Center to spend, spend, spend at the Emporium! Oh boy, that was fun!

    I think Target is going to send a car for us next time we want to go – we are suddenly VIP customers!

    When you come back to the US in a month you’ll be able to go downtown and browse around, go chopping!
    I’m one of the fortunate few that don’t have the urge, the internet has been a savior, I can get stuff without shopping. But you’re totally right there are somethings that you just have to hold them in your hands, or try’em on.
