Shop Around // Camargo Trading Company

On one of my first trips to Camargo Trading Company, nosiness/curiosity led me on a dizzying exploration of wedding registry plates, plaid picture frames, and other tchotchkes and gifts for the ladies-who-lunch-in-yoga-pants set. I’d seen just about everything when, lured by a “Sale” sign, I cautiously headed towards a quiet corner in the back of the store. "There’s more upstairs,” a friendly voice chimed in from behind, and for the first time I noticed the staircase

Shopping // Step Up Your Gift Game at the CAC’s Revamped Gift Shop

For some people, the shopping at the museum is just as important as the art at the museum. I confess: I am one of those people.

One day while researching travel communities, I came across Taarik scarves and was instantly transfixed. The bold block prints, the bright colors,

Shopping // Lace is for Lovers

I’m not really the fancy underwear type, at least not any more. I worked at Victoria’s Secret when I was in college and managed to amass an impressive collection of lace and satin and mesh delicates in every color of the rainbow. They were mostly uncomfortable and definitely impractical. A few years ago, I got rid of pretty much everything that wasn’t cotton or lace and didn’t fit into my black, gray, and red color scheme.
