emily's collections

i absolutely love emily's post from cupcakes and cashmere today. she went out to shop and came back with nothing. at first feeling a little disappointed, she quickly changed her attitude and looked through the things she already does have and loves.
the collections she has are so chic and pretty...the photos so simply styled...makes me want to go out and start collecting. but what? suppose i already have a pretty impressive cardi colletion...thimbles from when i was little. i need a grown-up collection now. what would be a very cor collection?
