Last Friday I ended my week at Green Spring Station, preparing for our VIP Shop Crawl, which is this Wednesday, Dec. 5 from 6- 9 p.m. I spent the morning choosing my top items for gift ideas that will be featured on WMAR’s show, The List, airing tomorrow, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. on channel ABC2. With discounts of at least 10 percent off merchandise (some even up to 25 percent off) offered by the stores who are participating, this is the perfect time to get some (if not all) of your holiday shopping completed. Start off at the Gatehouse Shoppes, where we’ll have a table set up with champagne and gift bags full of goodies for the first 100 guests. Sip on your bubbly, start your shopping, then make your way to the Joppa Concourse, Courtyard area, and Falls Concourse. Don’t forget to stop by Tark's Grill from 8-10 p.m. for some appetizer and drink specials. Here are a few items to look out for on Wednesday!

For all fashion lovers, Grace Coddington's memoir, Grace, is a must-have. Some may know her best from the 2009 documentary, The September Issue, and her fantastic spreads in Vogue magazine, but the book gives you a deeper look at her earlier days as a model and stints at both British and American Vogue.

If you're looking for a teaser while you patiently await this gift, check out her interview with Terry Gross on NPR's Fresh Air, which aired on November 20, 2012.
