I should mention that I have given up shopping for Lent (i.e. for 40 days). I will be living vicariously through blog posts and you all from this point on. I was inspired by an old friend last night and also from {av}'s spending freeze over at {long distance loving}. I figured I needed to post this on the blogosphere to help hold myself more accountable.
Moving on, Jackie from York Avenue brought her A-game for the letter X today. I fell in love with every single image upon first glance. Over at her blog, you can find daily interior design and fashion inspiration in addition to mouth-watering recipes, book reviews, and go-to places in NYC. She really is all that and a bag of chips. Does anyone even say that anymore.....besides me?!

Hello, it's Jackie from York Avenue, and I'm super excited to be participating in Carly's A-Z blog series! A Simple Affair is a daily inspiration to me, and Carly is one of the sweetest, friendliest people I've "met" so far in the blogosphere. I didn't have to mull over what to feature for the letter "X" for too long, as the answer was right in Carly's e-mail sign-off: XOXO! After all, who doesn't love hugs and kisses? So here's a round-up of some of my favorite XOXO items:
Blair from Atlantic-Pacific, rocking gorgeous XO rings from JewelMint
Rebecca Minkoff XOXO coin purse (with leopard print lining! Yes, please.)
XOXO sequin letters from Twisted Twig-totally customizable to any letters or colors you choose, but I'm loving the gold XOXO!
Bisous (French for kisses) is written underneath an XOXO image created from vintage French maps in this print from The Sweet Unfolding
A unique card says XOXO in sign language-from Etsy shop Russell and Salguero
It's not XOXO, but I can't resist throwing in this X tote, since I'm obsessed with Alphabet Bags! And hey, you can always buy the "X" and the "O"!
And a final "XOXO" to Carly, for inviting me to participate in this great blog series!

Jackie, there are no words that describe the greatness that is this post. I actually would like to own every single item. Amazing roundup.
Today you can find me over at Lou Lou's Life Lessons playing RZ for the day and picking my favorite Piperlime pieces for Spring.
