1. Booda Balm! For your lips, your face, your elbows, your gnarly knuckles, your nether regions or wherever you'd like... this stuff is like heaven... it just glides on and moisturizes to the maximum. I imagine just how Siddhartha would have liked, errrr, loved.

2. Vaute Couture Coats! This Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart knows her shiz. Ever since I migrated to the Windy City from Lala Land, winter coats seem like a somewhat legit purchase. My sorta-houndstooth-coat that I purchased in Denver at Buffalo Exchange 10 years ago is starting to really fall apart. And whoa, the Alicia in Bittersweet is sooooo fine. I have a major coat crush. This all-vegan designer line boasts the following:
Ethics: Vegan, Eco-conscious, Constructed locally in NYC. Weather Prepared: Windproof, Heat Retaining, Snow Resistant. Fabrics: Recyclable Made in the USA 100% Vegan Shell lined with 100% Closed Loop Zero Waste Recycled Satin Ripstop
Be still my heart. I'll take one in every color.

3. The Jasmine Bag by Amy Kathryn! Says it’s a diaper bag.... but if you aren't toting diapers, I say it's a snack bag. Love all the snack-storing pockets. Cause vegan snacks are the best. And this bag is pretty dang attractive. This is the Olive color, which is my fave color, and available HERE and HERE. The Camel color is still available on their website HERE!

4. Dark Chocolate Covered Pretzels from Whole Foods! Cuz you need some chocolately snacks to shove in that handsome handbag pictured above. And these are absolutely the right snack to pair with the Jasmine bag. Chocolatey, salty, crunchy... oh yes.
