There's not much time left to get holiday shopping wrapped up — but you do still have some time. If you're looking for that perfect gift for the tech lover in your life, here are some really great options. Give a techie an iPad, a lens for their iPhone & a Moxie to record all of their favorite shows and you'll have a happy camper on your hands! Images: 1. Poketo, 2. Urban Outfitters, 3.

I realize that the holidays are literally right around the corner but that doesn't mean it's too late to run out and grab some components to make your very own decorations. You don't have to be Martha Stewart to know how to make these — just set aside a little time and patience (maybe even pick up a six pack) and you're well on your way to having some stellar decorations. Here are my five

For such a lover of all white interiors, it's actually rather alarming that I enjoy a dash of rustic, masculine accessories from time to time. I just can't shake that desire to fill my home with cedar scented candles and navy blue accessories. Can you really blame me? I mean, we all have that Paul Bundy fetish, so why not make it insanely apparent in our homes? 1. George Industrial Lamp, 2

It's Christmas time and I'm absolutely thrilled.  So many things have recently changed in my life including: getting married, moving to Long Beach, CA & well, starting up this little venture again.  Hopefully you still like me after all these changes. I'm never subtle when it comes to voicing the things that I want.  I'm a bit of a I-want-everything kind of girl, so I'm always finding awesome

Holy Cow - I have been SO MIA for the past month!  So much has happened and everything has been so emotionally taxing (& it's not even over yet).  My boyfriend and I lost someone very dear to our lives and we have been spending a lot of time in Washington, DC - we've taken it upon ourselves to be the strong, reliable family members and keep company to those who need it. Washington, DC is such

Yesterday was such a great day.  So many awesome bloggers joined together to help spread the word to donate.   Jeanine from AphroChic has a charity auction on her website today - all proceeds will be donated to help the people of Haiti.  The items up for auction are: 1.  Handmade aprons from urbancasita  2.  Drawer liners from Hammocks & High Tea 3.  Piece of personalized art from Name Your

I wrote about their artistic home today on Apartment Therapy, and here's a little snippet: Halligan Norris Smith and Adam Smith are newly weds living in Philadelphia. She's a jewelry designer and he's an artist and bike mechanic. Their creative abilities are certainly noticeable in their unique home, and we're happy to see their home featured onDesign*Sponge. Their mix of antiques, family gems,

Jeanine from AphroChic organized a Bloggers Day of Action for Haiti and I knew I couldn't just sit back and do nothing.  Below you will find a list of fellow design bloggers that too wanted to take action.  You will also find a list of websites that are taking donations.   A Life More Fabulous Bay Area Style File Design for Mankind Hammocks & High Tea Jodine's Corner Lindsey Lou

I never really have a concise theme for each post that I write, but there are just too many amazing things that I want to share with my readers.   First and foremost; how amazing are these necklaces?! AH, I wish I could justify spending the minimum $800 for one of these gems.  You can purchase one of these necklaces from Bruxe Design in 10k Gold, Sterling Silver or Bronze.   Can you imagine

Due to the fact that I write for Apartment Therapy and spend most of my day scouring the internet for the coolest most inspiring design, sometimes it's hard for something to really just knock my darn socks off.  I was reading A Tall Drink earlier and spotted these amazing crocheted yarn sculptures from artist Nathan Vincent.   These are my favorites!  Another super over the top thing that I

WELL.. I'm finally back from our Holiday excursion to Orlando, Fl to visit my parents.  It's so refreshing to get away from the hustle and bustle of Philadelphia and just relax.  What's also refreshing is not having to worry about blogging :)  Well, except for those wonderful Best of 2009 posts I've been working on for Apartment Therapy and Unplggd! About to open my first gift from my parents!

Recently I discovered the wonders of visiting the incase website on a regular basis.  It's sort of a bitter sweet experience because I want to buy everything I see, and my bank account hates me for it.  Today I was reading their blog and was really surprised at a few things I noticed.  They're "hip".. or atleast they're trying to be.  I have to give them credit, most of their blog content caught

As soon as I saw this headboard (from Tricia and Stefan's Seaside Haven), I immediately fell in love with it.  It's the perfect combination of rustic, chic, warm, cozy, sophisticated.. you know where I'm going with this.  It's just perfect.     In complete contrast to the headboard, I found this amazing geometric trio by Tom Dixon.  They can be used as serving dishes, bowls, or just a

I decided today that I was going to embark on my own little personal journey in the blogging world.  I currently write for Apartment Therapy & Unplggd and I absolutely love it.  What I don't love?  Not being able to write each and every time I see something really freaking awesome!  This will be my opportunity to remember, share and cherish everything I see that I want to remember forever.. er..
