A lot of our time in California was spent either eating or shopping (two of my favorite things to do I might add). The food was phenomenal and the shops…even better. Although our luggage was 10 pounds overweight on our way there, it didn’t stop us from picking up some new purchases. They had so many stores and unique boutique shops that I just couldn’t NOT buy some of these things. And they had a camera SUPERSTORE…I figured, why spend money on shipping when I can buy it right there, so I picked up some new little gadgets to add to my camera bag. Here are some of my purchases from the west coast!

Cards (I have an obsession, but I’m excited to hopefully, eventually get these framed and hung up on our gallery wall)
Holga (and film) – its a fun film camera to add another element to the wedding experience!
Earrings
A memory card and battery holder (when I saw this on Abby Grace‘s blog, I realized it was exactly what I needed!)
Rocket blower (to clean my camera and lenses – another suggestion from Abby Grace)
Mousepad/notepad/to-do list
Boots
