Merae Ume Sushi Plate Set $15

Even though most of the sushi I buy is from the corner deli (yes, it’s still tasty and I’ve never gotten sick!), I still crave this porcelain dish and plate set from merae.com. The delicate Ume flowers make any dish look exquisite, whether I’m eating raw eel or Rice-A-Roni. Plus, it comes with a […]

Wishing Fish Luggage Tags $12

Like 99.9% of the population, I sport a black suitcase when I travel. I usually throw on a colored scarf so I can catch it when it comes off the conveyor belt at the airport, but on a recent trip I didn’t spy it until I saw someone else rummaging through it. That’s why […]

Spiegel Limoges Porcelain Latté Cup $5*

These sleek vessels will add instant street cred to my coffee making skills. I can’t wait to feel chic and grown-up while sipping on a latte and, per usual, working on the Sunday Times crossword puzzle in pen. Just kidding.
Thanks for the hot tip, Julia!

Target Swell Toothbrush Holder $13

Should I consider it a warning sign that I was immedietely drawn to this bathroom accessory? The Target.com customer reviews don’t give it such winning feedback (someone mentioned that their toothbrush doesn’t fit?) but I’ll buy a smaller toothbrush for such a fun addition to my boring bathroom.

Mxyplyzyk Hot Water Bottle s/a $13

In a cozy shade of red, they’re perfect making life a little less harsh during flu-season, or for applying to post-workout sore muscles. Of course, I’d have to start working out again, but it could happen.

Remember when making a mixed tape for your special someone was the ultimate sign of devotion? Just because you rock your iPod harder than your ghetto blaster these days, doesn’t mean that romance is dead.

M&J Trimming Tafetta Plaid Ribbon s/a $3*

Based in NYC, but also housed on the world wide web, this “trim” shop is a little slice of Heaven for DIY darlings. (And those of us who attempt.) The selection of ribbons, buckles, handles, buttons, beads, and various other trim is dizzying. It’s inspiring, even for DIY-challenged moi.
