For nearly a decade, I’ve used OnlineLabels as my primary source for label stock. I like their flexibility on quantity, their stock choices (color, removable, etc.), their Avery cross-reference list, their templates, and oh, yeah, their pricing. (It’s low.) To that laudable list I can now add one thing more: their amazing customer service. The…
I don’t know what this fragrance smells like, but I’d buy it just to gaze at the bottle on my dressing table every day. Sephora: Pucci Miss Pucci: Women’s Fragrance.
Simply gorgeous, and quite clever: a clock that literally tells you the time. Via Uncrate.
As if we need another reason to visit Palm Springs… SHAG The Store has just opened there. Loves me some SHAG, and can’t wait to check this place out! Shag: The Store.
Women possessing anything north of the most modest bosom know well the discomfort that any high-impact exercise can cause. Not only is the bouncing uncomfortable (and, some would argue, unsightly), but it can be damaging to breast tissue.

While living in the UK in the 90s, my husband and I became fans of Belgian Art Nouveau architect Victor Horta. Behold this stairwell in the home he designed for Emile Tassel, regarded by many as the first Art Nouveau building: Happily Horta’s own Brussels home, now the Horta Museum, is in superb condition and…

A clever idea (even if, as one commenter points out, the red and blue panes should be reversed for accuracy). 3-D glasses dress by Nicole Lindner – Swell 3D (with thanks to Ben for finding it).
An irresistible combination: three of pop culture’s greatest performers, as depicted by one of pop culture’s greatest artists, SHAG. If you’re unfamiliar with SHAG’s work (SHAG being the moniker of Orange County’s Josh Agle), he’s well-known for his stylized images of mid-Century Los Angeles, of all things Tiki, and of several anniversary artwork creations for…
Our son just started his first year at Bard College. (I digress here to note that Bard’s illustrious musical alumni include The Sherman Brothers, Steely Dan, and our friend Nelson Bragg of the Brian Wilson Band. Spectacular connections right there, but that’s not my subject for today.) Rhinebeck, NY is a lovely town about 8 miles…
Hope I’m not the only one who thinks these Throwboy pillows are clever as well as cute. In addtition to the “Icon” collection, pictured here, Throwboy offers “Chat” and “RSS” pillows. They’re 100% fleece, polyester filled, and go for $29 each or $149 for the set of six. They seem rather perfect for dorm rooms and…
What a clever idea – a compact cookery set for four that collapses into a tidy, portable pot. This MSR Flex 4 System Cookset makes my minimalist heart very nearly want to go camping, just so I would have a reason to get one.
