It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. Frederick Douglass

Brandages: Really?!

Brandages: Really?!

So… I’m not gonna lie and say that I am totally above brand obsession. I’m still not a big logo person (I don’t get the whole, “I’m going to pay $500 for this and provide free advertising for the company” thing), but there are certain labels I definitley run to every time (Chanel, Naketano, Camilla...
Website Obsession: Matomeno

Website Obsession: Matomeno

I love Matemeno because it contains the awesome version of things you use every day. Lamps, paper clips, note cards, umbrellas… you name it, Matomeno has the awesome version…. For instance: Biscuit shaped note cards Petal shaped soap (how cute would this be your bathroom?) “Change cumbersome dew drops into spring flowers with this glass.”...

Let me be Ferm...

Let me be Ferm…

There’s nothing more relaxing than a Sunday morning at home. Freshly ground coffee (you must try Cuisinart’s coffee machine with built-in grind- it’s a must-have!) , the New York Times, and if you’re lucky, good conversation (Sunday mornings always spark the most interesting dialogue)! Speaking of home, how gorgeous is this wallpaper collection from Ferm?...
MixTape

MixTape

Maybe this dates me (ok, I know this dates me), but way back in the day, mixtapes were the thing. You know,  if you liked someone you would spend hours on your dual tape deck transferring songs for that perfect “I love you” mix. I am obsessed with suck.uk‘s modern twist on the classic mixtape....
Bon Idée!

Bon Idée!

It’s all about the little things, right? It’s like… I have always appreciated the grand gestures and extravagant aspects of life, but at the end of the day it’s often the subtle things that often have the greatest effect. You know, that whole “flower growing through a crack in the cerement” thing. Anyway, that’s why...
Meta/ medi-morphosis

Meta/ medi-morphosis

Sometimes all it takes is an shift in perspective to effectuate a metamorphosis. You know, a transformation of sorts. Sometimes the perspective shift is conscious and deliberate… other times, it happens slowly over time in a way that you don’t even notice until the transformation is complete. The past few weeks have definitely been mocking...
Blooming Roses and Shimmery Minerals

Blooming Roses and Shimmery Minerals

If I remember my sophomore year philosophy class correctly, Plato was the one who said something about necessity being the mother of all invention. I will google that later to confirm… but for now I’ll write about indie boutique, Blooming Rose (see, sometimes I do read e-mails from the top down). Blooming Rose- The House...
Supersample Your Life

Supersample Your Life

If you’re here, you are either seeking art, a purveyor of art or, (most likely) both! The thing with art is, often times the harder you try, the less things end up looking like art. Like the best art is the stuff that happens by accident. I feel in love with supersampler‘s cute little camera...
Super-Tuesday/ Supermandolini

Super-Tuesday/ Supermandolini

Another Super-Tuesday… without getting too political (check out Wonkette for that sort of thing), lets just say I’ll be glad when this whole thing is over. That being said, when all is said and done, I hope our girl Hillary takes a seat. I’m definitely for Obama. Anyway, speaking of super-things, be sure to check...
Love Coffee? I do!

Love Coffee? I do!

It’s May 1st, can you believe it? At least it’s getting brighter and brighter in the mornings. Despite that I still need my coffee. Lots of coffee. In fact, my boyfriend always jokes that I’m married to my cup (actually he calls it a bucket) in the morning. It’s only fitting that I love modern...
