I posted last month about my bike dilemma. I almost pulled the trigger on an Azor Oma, but I decided to see what was available in Denmark before buying a bike stateside. Initially, I was hellbent on having a Dutch bike, but after contacting several retailers in Netherlands, I was unable to find a shop… Continue Reading
Or maybe…
I want an Azor Oma! It’s a Dutch bike, even more expensive than the Pashley (figures!), but less flashy and built to last forever and a day. I think my affinity for city bikes actually began on a trip to Amsterdam when I was a teenager, so it would make perfect sense to buy a… Continue Reading
A Bike Dilemma
Whether or not I ship a car to Denmark, I will still need a bike. Gas is nearly $8/gallon, so I’m planning to drive only when it’s absolutely necessary, or more cost effective than paying $6 each way for the bus. A few years ago, I found a bike at the curb on trash night,… Continue Reading

I’m going to have a lot of fun furnishing my flat from the… Continue Reading
$10.47
Today’s thrift store haul was modest, but that’s how a beloved wardrobe is built, one piece at a time… I love maribou almost as much as leopard print, so I was totally blissed to find this maribou trimmed top for $3.99 at Salvation Army! White tags were 50% off so I scored this Max Studio… Continue Reading
