I am not much of a shopper, much to my mother’s chagrin.  The woman can spend days at the mall, while I start to feel itchy after just a few hours.  It’s not that I’m not materialistic, I totally am, it’s just that the thought of adding more stuff to my life makes it hard to breathe.  But I like the idea of things.  So I’m an avid window shopper.  I browse catalogs I’ll never buy from and hold my breathe when I pass the window at J.Crew.  So while I’m stuck at school all day Wednesdays, I thought we could have some fun via blog.  Let’s window shop!

Here’s what I’m coveting this week –

1. These stone-shaped vases from the MoMa.

I love all things faux stone.  One time I went to a felt exhibit at a museum where they made “boulders” out of felt and I fell in love.  I think these vases would go nicely with woodsy or modern decor.  P.S.  $75 for fake stone vases is highly ridiculous; that’s why these are window shopping posts!

2. Rare Hawaiian Organic Silk Honey from Volcano Island Honey Company.

I love honey, and think it’s particularly fun to try honey that comes from different flowers, but it never even occurred to me to try it from different locations.  This is creamy, milky, and hails from Hawaii.  Sidenote – I’ve been picking up jars creamed honey in stores for years, but I’ve never sucked it up and paid the price to try them.

3. A Kiss of Milk And Honey lip balm from Nivea.

I told you I love honey.  And it’s even more appealing to me in beauty goods when paired with milk.

4.  Wallis nail polish from Butter London Nail Lacquer.

I couldn’t find a great picture of this shape online but in the magazine I saw it was a nice shimmery, military green.  I think this shade is going to be the shade this fall.

5. The Lola Pull On Boot from Rockport.

Speaking of fall, how adorable are these?!  I love the brown and dark grey together as well as the mix of textures.  These would look amazing over dark jeans with a nice fuzzy sweater.

Here’s what I’m coveting this week –

1. Rebel Mary Peanuts from Lord Nut.

Peanuts with spicy bloody mary flavor, lemon, celery, and pepper.  My favorite drink meets my favorite legume!  The other flavors – Thai, Cinnamon… – look good too.  I think these would be a lot of fun to have out at the cocktail parties I like to imagine I throw.

2. The crunchy spread from Biscoff.

When I spotted this in the catalog (Yes, I get the catalog.  What?) I about had a heart attack.  Crunchy is my favorite kind of peanut butter and Biscoff is my favorite kind of spread.  Conclusion – crunchy Biscoff would blow my mind.

3. Outlast Lipstain from Cover Girl.

When I showed you guys the last pencil-like lipcolor I hadn’t seen this product yet.  This looks like the Sephora lipstick I loved and lost.  You get color without mess (lipstick on your teeth?!) and you don’t need to reapply every five minutes.  I actually don’t ever wear lipstick hello, Chapstick! – but for some reason I’m willing to make an exception for these sticks.  In Flirty Nude or Everbloom Kiss!

4. The collapsible water bottle from the MoMa.

It’s not like I do much hiking in my day-to-day life, but I still think this is amazing.  It’s a reusable water bottle that rolls up or stores flat like a piece of paper when it’s empty!

5. The Planetaria ring from Laura Bohinc.

This is the dream-no-way-Jose-in-real-life item of the week.  Diamonds and pearls?!?  And actually the version I spotted in a magazine was gold instead of sterling silver; it was more fabulous and more expensive.

Here’s what I’m coveting this week –

1. The Pac Man cookie cutters from Fred Flare.

If you don’t want this then you don’t love the 80’s and I probably hate you (probably because that means you’re younger than I).  I’m never all that excited about cookie cutters because usually the fun shapes have to be well-frosted for you to see what they heck they are.  These seem like a simple slap of frosting would make them more recognizable.  Though if I buy these I’ll need to get some fruit shaped cutters to complete the theme.

2. Marshmallow foaming hand soap from Bath and Body Works.

The antibacterial hand soap from BBW is pretty much the only kind of hand soap we use; for the quality the price is the best I’ve found.  I love holiday themed items and marshmallow is a year-round favorite so this sounds like the perfect October splurge as soon as I make it to the mall.

3. The Marshmallow Fireside candle from Bath and Body Works.

Once I’ve got the hand soap I might as well go all the way!  I can’t even imagine how good this would make my apartment smell.

4. Pumpkin Pretzels from Stonewall Kitchen.

The goodness that is yogurt pretzels with the goodness that is pumpkin.  If two of my favorite foods had a love child it would look something like this.

5. The Air Bite Cami Tank from Volcom.

I’ve never been a surfer (though I did work in a surf shop all through high school) but Volcom is one of my favorite clothing brands.  I love the ruffle detailing on the front and how the shirt comes together in the back.  Black would be cute but purple is cuter.

Here’s what I’m coveting this week –

1. Clinque Chubby Stick Lip Balm.

Particularly in Woppin’ Watermelon.  I have a total love for things that look like school supplies so the crayon lipstick trend is high on my list.  Years ago I got a lip highlighter from Sephora that I’m obsessed with and this is the closest thing to it I’ve come across since.

2. Gingerbread Ale from Bison Brewing.

And I quote – “Our Spiced holiday porter is brewed with ginger, nutmeg and a touch of cinnamon, yielding the aroma of fresh backed gingerbread men!”  Holy frick; this would beat a Starbucks gingerbread latte any day!

3. The All Out Of Pad from Knock Knock.

We actually already use this product and I love it.  The pad is preorganized so that items are grouped by section (which you should do anyways) and the more common items are listed so you can just check them off (though there are also lines to write stuff in).  It’s convenient and I love how much neater this looks on the side of the fridge than a plain pad with Adam’s doctor handwriting scrawled all over it.

4. The Whoopie Pie Baking Pan from Fred Flare.

There’s a pumpkin spice whoopie pie recipe with my name on it and I’d love for my final product to look a bit more uniform.

5. Cupcake liners from Cath Kidston.

I’m not even going to pretend like $18 for cupcake liners isn’t a waste of money, BUT … look at how cute they are!  I think it’s important for everyone, including cupcakes, to feel well dressed.

Here’s what I’m coveting this week –

1. momofuku’s cereal milk mix.

I’ll never stop kicking myself for not visiting momofuku while I lived in New York.  This houseblended mix makes your milk taste the milk at the end of a bowl of cereal, and we all know that’s the best part of a bowl of cereal.

2. “bearskin” coasters from perpetual kid.

My nickname for Adam is Bear – and I often threaten to turn him into a rug when I’m angry – so I think these are adorable.

3. Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm.

I basically only wear lip balm – and it must have spf – which makes it hard for me to find lip color.  This line has spf 20 and color to boot.

4. Gracious Granola from 18 Rabbits.

I am completely in love with the 18 Rabbits bars so I know this would be amazing.  It has pecans, almonds, and maple; swoon.

5. The ruffle foldover leggings from So Low Style.

I’m pretty sure there’s not an item with ruffles that I don’t want!  There was also a (even cuter!) ruffle sports bra but it wouldn’t support my boobs across the living room, let alone on a run.
