Remember when you were little, giving the globe a spin with one finger poised to hone in on your next dream destination? Well, I'm back at it, in a way. I've been perusing Shop Local to see what's being made in other parts of the world. Some favorite recent "trips" included Buenos Aires, Argentina and New Zealand as a whole. (The related items below are my kiwi cross-country tour of sorts.)

Added bonus: while sitting in the midst of New York's hot and humid summer, I can imagine a chill in the air and the icy muted colors of a Southern Hemisphere winter. (How cold is it in New Zealand right now? I honestly have no idea, but that woolen peacoat sure looks cozy.)

...And the best part, I can even bring back a souvenir or two. My favorite find from this adventure would be this stuffed applique brooch with the embroidered owl by Toast. When it's actually time to break out my winter coat, I'm usually caught off guard by the weather with no time to dry clean, let alone accessorize, and just end up feeling blah. I think this puffy pin with its colorful striped fabric and cute animal motif would lend some needed summer fun to my cold weather gear.
