Let It Shine…

Every once in a great while, utility comes in a great form that marries function and design beautifully! And Tord Boontje’s lamps are such. While some of his designs run upwards of many thousands of dollars, these two lamps that I found on Mossonline are actually under $100. Look at the first one called The Mid-Summer Light in blue. It is so whimsical and flirty without being overtly feminine. And at $80 you know its art within your reach. If it does grab your attention, I suggest you hurry because it is no longer in production and only a limited quantity remains.

The second one is the silver-plated Garland Light Suspension Lamp (also available in brass) which oozes artfulness and playful sophistication, that begs to be not taken too seriously! The lamp can be shaped into almost any form since it is made from one continuous metal strand wrapped around a light bulb, and so, this helps your crative side shine too! And available at $90, tell me how else can it get better?

Fabulous For Less

I love trends just as much as the next fashionista in line for her latte, but lets face it, not all of us are blessed with paychecks that allow us to follow every fad, every season.. so we do what we must, pick and choose, and always, always, have a keen eye on the lookout for the next best buy!

Now, I know not much is needed to unravel that style goddess in you but we all need some help now and then, and if the tenet is, ‘Fabulous For Less’, you bet am listening! And so should you!

Besides, its not just ‘Fabulous For Less’, its all under $50 baby!! Got your attention now, didn’t I?

First up is a beautiful satin clutch in silver from Steve Madden. Silver is one of those classic colors for evening that you will get maximum use out of, for a very very long time. And it practically goes with everything! Besides, its priced at $48, and you aren’t about to hear any complaints!

Next up, the next big trend: cuffs. I’ve seen many of those, and either they are too boring or too expensive. But not this one, no sirrie. The Laced Up Cuff Bracelet from Rimistyle is just too much fun for words! The form is unexpected, modern, fun and whimsy. All that punch for a mere $22. Bliss huh?

Buy Via Rimistyle

And finally, Devi Kroell for Target is absolutely worship worthy! I love the faux snakeskin tote in dark charcoal gray and at $49.99, thats two trends for fall, packed in one great bag!

Watchu Gonna Do With All That Junk?

A couple years ago, I had a major crisis. I had too many earrings and I could never find anything. There would be many nights, where, I was rushing to get ready and at the final moment would never be able to find the pair of earrings I wanted to wear with my outfit! What would be worse, is that I would find it a day or two later! So I finally got fed up with the situation and decided to come up with a way to organize all my earrings rather than get mad.

So once I decided I had to organize my jewelry, I thought to myself, it can’t be that hard. There is definately something out there that will take care of all my “needs”. “Needs” meaning plenty of storage for all my earrings, which last time I counted were more than 50 or so. And on top of that, all of these earrings were of different sizes and different types.

Well, as I found out, there was nothing in the market that was just right for me. Most of the storage options were either too small or too generic. Either, they would have two rows each for necklaces, rings and earrings or they would have the same spacing if the storage piece was for earrings specifically.

Finally, I decided to build a solution by myself and am very proud of my invention. All it took was some thick paper that I bought from Michaels and I just pierced holes into the paper with the earrings. I stick this up on my wall with thumb tacks and voila.. I have an elegant solution for my earring clutter and now it’s so easy for me to find a pair! It takes care of all my chandelier earrings as well as my small earrings. I use the lower most end for the ones that have a loop style. Simple and cheap, isn’t it?

Now, if you prefer to buy something rather than organize yourself, I found some really cute alternatives available online now.

Baby, Please.

Today I got an email from a hapless friend totally devoid of gift ideas, and of course, who comes to her rescue, but me. Now, anyone who knows me will attest to the fact that am a very ‘gift-giving’ sort of person..I love giving gifts (why lie,it sure doesn’t hurt to get back some either!!) and am always looking for fun and exciting gifts. I hate giving or getting stuff that has no apparant thought behind it; totally defies purpose then, don’t you think?

So anyway, the aforementioned friend needed gift ideas for a baby shower and for a newly born baby..and these gifts will be great for either occasion..

Tell me who isn’t a sucker for baby socks, those tiny, tiny little feet, and with the myriad of colors and prints available, it always makes me so happy just looking at them! And I know many new mothers who’d appreciate beautiful socks for their adorable babies. And that of course leads me to perfect gift number one. Just look at those socks, they come beautifully packaged in an egg carton (hows that for fun?) and the dozen socks come in bright, vibrant colors, that you know you’d love! I especially like the fact that the socks have rubber soles that prevent slipping. Form and function. Love it. And at $36 from Red Envelope it doesn’t hurt much either.

And by now, you have to know, there is atleast one lux option to come. Read on.

I believe that you are never too young to start off with cashmere, and hey those little babies need some spoiling. So pamper them with beautiful, pure cashmere, cable knit blankets, and pray why not? The cashmere baby blankets from Red Envelope are lux and would make a great gift, and at $190, you aren’t exactly breaking the bank! You can choose between blue and pink and even have the blanket monogrammed. And that makes it a perfect gift idea, number two.
