 Indulge your inner ballerina with these gorgeous pointe flats and trench coat with tulle underskirt. Perhaps even do a couple plies when no one is around, the grocery cart handle does make such a perfect barre!

Does anyone else remember this line from Sleepless in Seattle? (Rosie O’Donell and Meg Ryan are bawling their eyes out watching An Affair to Remember, such a cute scene.)  It is one of my favorite movie quotes because it is so true. But around Valentine’s Day it’s okay to admit that, silly as it sounds, we do sort of want to be in love in a movie. So grab the tissues and the pink Champagne and dream away.

Charles Dickens: A Life  by Claire Tomalin – I know I’m not the only one who reads Dickens every holiday season, and watches every movie version of the Christmas Carol on repeat. Dickens is such a staple on my bookshelf I can’t wait to belatedly celebrate his birthday with this biography!

Londoners by Craig Taylor – It has been nearly five months since our trip to London and I still think about it every day (and check ticket prices for a return trip!). You might say I am firmly in the “long for it” category of this book.

Girl Land by Caitlin Flanagan – The psych student in me will never get tired of social commentary, I can’t wait to jump into Flanagan’s discussion of what it’s like to grow up as a girl and woman in today’s world.
