After Christmas shopping is the best! I've always wanted a pair of cool combat Dr. Marten's. While I was in the city, I decided to go to Walnut St to the retail store for sizing. Before I went back to my car, I found a small donut shop called Federal Donuts on Samson St. They offer specialty donuts and fried chicken. The fancy donuts for today were Blueberry Lemonade, Coffee Cake, S'mores, Chocolate Old Fashioned, Key Lime Pie and Pastelito.

The temperature has dropped and it's time to break out your winter accessories, including some fur! When I was a little girl, my grandmom would rock her full length mink to church and I thought she was the prettiest woman. After church, I would love to brush against her and even try to wear the coat, which was too heavy on my small body. I thought that fur was the most expensive and elegant fashion ever and couldn't wait until I was a grown up and wear some fur.
