I remember the first time I saw Dior's "oui" ring on the now defunct eluxury.com

But... I kind of love the super-affordable "love" ring more - featured on this holiday list.

Cannot even write where this ring is from. Totally unexpected, right??

thanksgiving this year

this year, my closest friend and i went on a trip to portland, maine for the thanksgiving holiday.

the people in maine are so friendly and accommodating. the food was fresh and local, the boutiques and shops weren't crazed about black friday, and for thanksgiving, we had a perfect korean meal made by my college friend anna who is now living in portland!

we had time on our last day to take the ferry to peaks island, just one of the thousands of islands off the maine coast. it was amazing to be in such a historic part of the country and i kept imagining all the ships and boats that had traveled the waters to discover a new land.

patagonia
