Wood you wear these glasses?





I am something of a glasses aficionado, but I have never in my life seen cooler frames than these handmade wooden pairs from Urban Spectacles. Why haven’t I ever seen glasses made from wood before? It sort of makes sense doesn’t it? File that under things that make you go hmmm.

A crafty and cool pin for a fall jacket

Crochet pin

blue crochet pin
Here in NYC light jacket weather is just about upon us…these pins from the Rivulette shop on Etsy.com would look really groovy on a little denim jacket. At $15 a pop I think I’m going to need one in each color! Tres chic!

Fun stuff from Appetime

I have one of these super cool rubber/plastic watches from Appetime and it is really a looker! This has got to be one of the most unusual pieces that I own and is great to wear on a day that your mood needs a lift. They are available from Zappos.com but I must admit I found mine at the Nordstrom Rack…shhh…

ro update

ro urban
I know a lot of my readers are ro addicts like me, and I know that there hasn’t been a lot of information out there about the brand recently, so I contacted the Italian design office and got the scoop for y’all. I am so happy to report that they are selling ro bags now at Barneys and Bloomingdales. Hooray! We have a source to feed our need!
I also just got word that I will be attending the NY International Gift Fair and guess who is having a booth there…ro! I will be bringing you as much of an update as they will allow me about their new upcoming styles. Stay tuned, this could be good!

More Target madness

Mossimo for Target tote
Along the way I received a comment from someone looking to purchase a Mossimo for Target tote that I wrote about last summer.
Well, in my surfing the great wide web I came upon this new incarnation. It is similarly cool, and appears to be the same size and shape. Hope this will suffice as a substitution!
I present to you the Yellow Mossimo for Target tote, and I think maybe an even cooler version in blue.
