Christmas Wish List 2011

Usually for Christmas I have a laundry list of items I've been eyeing for months, but this year I already got my present, a round trip ticket to Berlin with my family. I certainly don't *need* anything else, but if someone asked I might say that I wouldn't argue with a Clarisonic, new gym bag, personalized stationery and iPhone friendly winter gloves. And also jewelry. Always jewelry.

What is on your list?

Christmas in Carmel: Point Lobos

Christmas in Carmel: Carmel Beach

This was the first Christmas spent at my Mom's new cottage in Carmel, California. She makes the drive down the coast nearly every weekend and now I can see why. Living five minutes from one of the most beautiful beaches in California has its advantages: morning walks on the beach, afternoon jogs along the cliff trail, sneaking up onto the green at Pebble Beach, watching the sun set with a glass of wine, waking up to the sound of waves crashing, the most pampered dogs in all the world, and best of all happy family.
