Our Awakened Aestheti-ship has crashed ashore the latest obsession sweeping the internet: Pinterest. It’s exploding! One peek and we were completely hooked. (I love that 9/10 times, there is an...
Sometimes “eco” is totally unexpected. The Tailor Sofa by Crate & Barrel is classically-styled, but made with contemporary materials: the stone- or poppy-colored fabric is made of st...
My man just got a new suit, and I’m pretty sure he needs a new wallet to go with it. Like most guys, he’s used to leather, but I’m working on weaning him off of it. These handmade w...
In the next week, I will find time for a long, luxurious bath. It’s almost too warm for baths (May, where did you come from?) and for the past five years or so I’ve had this “last b...
I love retro-styled swimsuits, not only for their extra coverage (“look, I’m such a classy broad!”) but because it takes a special kind of sexiness to wear them. It’s totally ...
We’ve all been there… you’re days away from an important Mom Holiday (birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day…) and you’ve completely forgotten about the entire thi...
Most of you probably don’t know that I make 100% of the bread/baked goods that I eat. Really! Absolutely everything from the pita in my pita chips to the breakfast cookies I eat with my coffee ...
This stuff has saved my butt several times. You may recall such posts as the Butter London Lippy Review wherein I was required to take photos of my nails. Do you notice that they aren’t heinous...
“So I was hanging out in vintage Slovakia and came across these hand embroidered tablecloths…” But really, that’s sort of how this story starts. The above wall hoops are made ...
I am a liquid eyeliner addict. I use it almost every time I put makeup on, and I have at least 5 different tubes of the stuff in my makeup bag, currently. Much to my embarrassment, none of them are e...

In honor of Earth Day 2012, UK retailer Jigsaw is releasing their first “Green Label” line, which consists of small-batch garments, utilizing upcycled materials and sewn locally. That not...
Many online stores stock eco-friendly designers, but unless they’re an entirely eco-friendly store, it can be hard to determine what’s ethical and what isn’t. Ruche, a vintage-inspi...
I still don’t have an air plant. I am so disappointed in myself. They’re so interesting-looking, and can be placed nearly anywhere, with nearly anything, and still look so cool. Take this...
Remember that horrific earthquake in Haiti? It happened in January 2010, and the country is still struggling…but many have forgotten. Sevenly.org is one of those companies that hasn’t for...
There’s this phrase that keeps playing in my head: yachty with a twist. What it means, in its purest essence, is clean lines, a bit of nautical flair, bold colors (paired always with cream or w...
Watch out. I wish this glass-enclosed sign was larger than six inches by four. I want it, huge, at the top of some staircase.
Lindsay and I are hipsters. We are. It’s the first time I’ve admitted it to the general public – to you guys, which is a really big deal for me – and it’s going to be ok...
I’ve almost convinced myself to spend hundreds of dollars on shelves to line the top of every one of my windows. I love handmade knickknacks, fresh flowers and other “this is useless so ...
BeadForLife is a non-profit organization started by three women who wanted to help Ugandan women learn skills that will earn them a living wage. Here’s a bit more about the organization, and th...
I guarantee that your life will be better if you start washing your face with something better than hand soap. And I stand by that. Soap can be so harsh, and on areas like your forehead and under you...
I don’t know why these are called Chukka boots. It’s a stupid name and I vote we have a re-naming ceremony. And then I decided to take thirty seconds to figure out why Chukka boots are ca...
After a while, you run out of ethical panties to party about. There are always more, eventually, but in the interim, our Tuesday Panty Parties will be interspersed with T-Shirt Tuesdays. We hope you&...
I love trinkets. I need shelves all over my house just so I can buy all of the trinkets. This tiny glass bottle is hand-blown by glass artist Kiva Ford, and the little flower detail is just enough cu...
I keep saying I’m going to start wearing scarves year-round, and then I don’t actually buy any summer scarves. This morning I wanted to wear a headscarf like the one in my review of butt...
Spring is here! It feels like winter has lasted approximately three forevers, but we’re finally getting to the point where, in most of the northern hemisphere, it’s getting warm enough t...
Lindsay and I are interested in everything yellow this year: yellow dresses, yellow pants, yellow shoes. I have a feeling that before summer is out, we’ll have amassed a solid collection of sun...
Warning: This post is not for the faint of heart. Fwoomp. That was the sound of you hitting the floor, right? I’d like to ensure that you only collapse once, so I’m going to withhold the...
When butter LONDON asked me to pick a color from their new Lippy by butter LONDON matching lip color collection, I was completely stumped. The colors are spot on matches with some of their best colo...
With all the tweets and status updates, PR pitches about God Knows What and Out Of Office auto-responses I’ve been getting due to Coachella rearing its musical head, it’s kinda all I can ...
