Pixelized
Three years ago Shana Victor started Pixelgirl Presents (a web-site with beautiful desk-top backgrounds and icon-sets) as a hobby with just one icon-set… over time the site grew and today it offers some of the hottest OSX and Windows icon-sets and desktop images. Shana didn’t stop there. She decided to build on the success...
Etsy is one of those places I frequent all the time and just assumed I had written about a long time ago. I know some things got lost in my move from Blogger to WordPress, but after searching both places I’m beginning to think I’ve never written about this little Internet gem and that’s...
E-Couture
Nowadays its all about the cheap couture. Places like H &M and even Target offer designer names at prices even I can afford. There’s nothing especially wrong with these items… I have been known to pick up a few Isaac Mizrahi wonders myself. Seriously though… anytime you can buy an entire suit for $50...
Turbow-Charged
There’s something so comforting about putting on that favorite sweat-shirt, t-shirt, or pair of pants. Its a safe feeling… so that even if it’s a you-against-the-world day, you feel somewhat protected. Safe Clothes, by Rebecca Turbow, captures this feeling exactly. Her line features smooth geometric designs, sturdy fabrics, and gorgeous colors, each piece meticulously...
招き猫
I’ve seen “lucky cats” around but never fully understood their significance until I looked it up… Maneki Neko, the Japanese “lucky cat” can be found with either the right or left paw raised (and sometimes both). The significance of the right and left raised paw differs with time and place. The most common belief...
Sun Goddess
If you’re anything like me, you start to think about warm places this time of year. Nassau, the Virgin Islands, South Africa perhaps? If you do happen to make it down to South Africa, be sure to stop by Sun Goddess. If you’re like me, stuck in ice-cold New England, you can enjoy the...
Ceci n’est pas un livre… really.
If you’re anything like me you have books everywhere. I have books on shelves, books about shelves (which are coincidentally not on shelves, but on the floor), books that are operating as shelves… and well, you get the picture. Twentytwentyone has a great way for you to manage all of your books… the shelfshelf! The...
Day /Splurge
This post is mean, because if your financial situation is anything like mine, DAY Birger et Mikkelson will be nothing more than a DAY-dream. Nevertheless, appreciating beautiful things from afar (which has become my forte as of late) has its place and these clothes are certainly worth a longing gaze. Inspired by far away...
Bamboo Closet
Bamboo Closet is an on-line boutique which features work from emerging/indie designers from Asia. Focusing on premium handmade products and products from tribal groups and artisan cooperatives, their stock is carefully selected and always changing. I really love the coco “ba-o” bag which is actually made from a coconut! Sure to save you from...
Call on me…
Ok… call me obsessed. The new iPhone looks absolutely ridiculous. I’m not even that much of a gadget person… my cell phone is over 3 years old and besides my computer (I am a Mac person in the spirit of full disclosure), I’m just about as basic as you can get (I don’t even own...
Stop Staring!
When you click to retail area at Stop Staring (you’d be a fool not to), try to look past the pictures of Paris Hilton wearing three of their hottest designs. Wait… strike that. LOOK at Paris Hilton wearing three of their hottest designs and note the most amazing thing about each picture. She looks...
