So, tell me how hot is Heidi Klum for Jordache? The Ad totally sizzles. Brett Ratner, who shot the Ad, is actually an action movie director but who could tell looking at the Ad? He should do more fashion photography! Its brilliant!
But here’s what I want to know, how does a Thirty-four year old woman, after having three kids, still manage to have a body like that? Tell me!
I have been obsessing on this Dior “Oui” ring for a while now. I tried my very best to persuade my friend “Well Heeled” that it was such a cuuutte ring! And, if she had agreed, I probably would have bought it by now! Thankfully, she didn’t like it (saving me $675..yup thats what the ring costs!). What’s better, I found something similar in style.
I liked the “Oui” ring because it was wiry and had the cute little tiny diamond. This Adina Reyter ring is just as similar and even better because it is much simpler and cute to the core!
Because of the diamond, the price is a little on the steep side for this simple design at $143, but there is another version of the ring without the diamond which is only for $63.

Another really cool piece is this snake coil ring. I love the design because it shows the whole snake form. Something perfect for someone young and flirty!

For those of you with backyards, gardens and green thumbs, you’ve got to be bored with the same old-same old bird houses by now, quite like the one above, a simple classic design available at Sprout Home for $26.95. However, if you look hard enough, there is always good design to be had, just in the vicinity! Like this gorgeous Turquoise Gourd Bird Apartment, also from Sprout Home for $74. Can you imagine, how much fun and immediate spunk you could be adding to the landscape?

But nothing quite beats the next one. It wins the prize for combining function with impeccable design. Am talking about The Egg Bird House from J Schatz which comes in a myriad of vibrant colors! It is a little pricey at $125, but I can’t think of any which way it can get any better…

For the past couple of months, I have been taking breakfast and lunch to work. I normally just put it in a small shopping bag or sometimes I will just reuse a gift bag.
On an average day, the list includes the following..
Breakfast – Either a granola bar or scrambled eggs
Lunch – Stir fry/curry with rice or without (depending on if I am on the South Beach Diet…)
Drinks – Diet Coke/Diet Iced Tea
Snack – Apple or cut fruits or granola bar
All in all, I have a max of three containers and one drink which mostly is either a can or a bottle.
As you can see, my bags aren’t too durable and I have been humiliated by my boss for carrying the pink one. In addition, the bags do not close, and on friday, my diet sprite fell out of the bag and burst open on the car floor while I was driving!!
So, now I HAVE to buy a lunch bag and obviously I have a laundry list of what it needs to be like. It has to big enough but not too bulky. It should have some kind of snap or zip closure. And above all, It has to be CUTE! The regular lunch bags are not going to do it for me. (You know the ones with the top cloth handles and the flap cover!) I find them ugly and quite boring!!
Thankfully, I was not disappointed with my search!
Out of the three that I found, the Milano Lunch Tote is my favorite. I love the acrylic handles and bright color option. It has a zip closure and the dimensions are 9.75″ x 10.5″ x 3.25″. However, I am a little concerned if it will hold all sorts of container shapes?! But the separate compartments for bottles and food is swaying my decision making process. It has an outside pocket to put in condiments or napkins and is the cheapest of the lot at only $14.99!

This Built NY Gourmet Getaway Tote is a little bit more pricey at $24.95, but is stain resistant and machine washable! Its dimensions are 13.5″W x 13.5″H x 6″D. The shape is more round which means I can stack all shapes of containers in it. It doesn’t have a separate compartment for carrying a bottle but its still really cute!

This Built NY Lunch Tote caught my eye, because the bag unzips to become a mat, which I think is cool. It has separate bottle and food compartments. The only flaw with this one is that I don’t think there is enough storage on it and plus it might be too wide to carry! The dimensions for it are 12.5″ x 12.5″ x .5″ and the price is $21.95.

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?
