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

Fonderie47 was created by Peter Thum (of Starbucks Ethos water) and John Zapolski. Together with designers Roland Iten and Philip Cangri, they take confiscated AK-47 rifles from the Democratic...
Delicious Dreams

Delicious Dreams

I love things that look things they aren’t… case in point, these delicious (pun intended!) home furnishings from B Fiber and Craft. The waffle sheets are like a kid’s dream (ok fine, me as a kid’s dream) come true and I sort of need the baked potato chair in my...
Jewelry that POPS!

Jewelry that POPS!

I have to say, I’m not the biggest fan of this time of year. It’s not quite snow-on-the-ground winter, not quite warm enough to dress otherwise, and entire days can pass where I don’t see sunlight. With fun trips, boxing lessons (like actual boxing lessons) and a good winter soundtrack...

It’s a Wrap (With Extra Cheese)

I haven’t done the whole gift guide thing… one, because though I wish I did, I haven’t had the time… and also because just about every other website out there has one… what they don’t have (except design-milk, where I discovered this) is awesome hamburger wrapping paper!! What a cool idea. From Gift Couture.

I’m in the market for a new pair of glasses (I love my current frames but they’re struggling) and absolutely love these handmade specs by Paris designer Dzmitry Samal. No, I haven’t succumbed to  Hipsterdom, though I do admit these have designer coffee at Big Bear (on a Tuesday at 11am, because you’re like, totally...

Sabine Marcelis / Sunday Randomness

I was so looking forward to a relaxing weekend . . . unfortunately, I spent most of it working. At least today’s work had a Patriots game soundtrack. Anyway, once I was finally done, I thought it’d be nice sit and relax with a glass of wine. But that required leaving my apartment, so I...

Beverly Gan SS12

    I wrote about the talented Beverly Gan around this time last year because I absolutely love her graduate work. Her latest collection (SS12) is equally as impressive with just the right combination of sweet (flirty skirts in delicate blues) and sexy (sleek silhouettes in crisp black and white). Check out Beverly’s site for...
