From sharing photos, to awesome art shows, to several great local shops, there was plenty to whittle the time away, but nothing beats carrying Mr. Van!

Lots of great style was to be found online this year, from vintage Vogues, the most fashionable of men to groupie girls. There also emerged a new site about my neighborhood that’s been ever so helpful and a cultural collection of cool stuff has me transfixed. But it was a children’s book site that stole my heart.

It was a very good year for television. Not only did Breaking Bad break my mind (not listed here as I recommended in a previous year) but it was the year Game of Thrones graced the small screen! YES!
But the quality television didn’t stop with epic, sex filled, big budget serious fantasy. One of the best period dramas ever debuted, we got to see Karl Pilkington visit the seven wonders of the world, Jeremy Irons gets pulpy and popey, an HBO classic comes to Netflix, and an HGTV show makes us want to pack up and live abroad.
1. Game of Thrones
4. The Borgias
