Kerasal AL Daily Foot Cream

Updated Jan 17, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I had foot surgery a couple of months ago and my foot was wrapped up in bandages for weeks! By the time I could go without them my poor foot had become so dry it hurt. Ouch! I saw this recommended in Real Simple and decided it was worth a try. As the package states it gently exfoliates, moisturizes and softens feet. I highly recommend this to anyone with severely dry, rough, cracked heels and feet. It has worked wonders! My foot has made a complete recovery and I've continued to use it to keep it that way!

ACME Workhorse Reusable Shopping Bag - Style 1500

Updated Jan 17, 2008

3 people recommended this item

Description

I absolutely love these bags! They are as advertised - lightweight, small when bagged and extremely durable. I'm trying do my part for the planet by using these acme bags instead plastic bags for groceries and carrying things around. As a bonus my college age brother finds these bags manly enough for him to tote around and use as well. (via Reusable Bags)

Elizabeth Falkner's Demolition Desserts, by Ann Krueger Spivack

Updated Dec 26, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

For their daughter's 1st birthday my friends baked "Chocolate Chip Cookies Straight Up or with Nuts" and Chocolate Chip Espresso Cookies" to which I absolutely fell in love with! I immediately went out to buy the book so I could make them myself. This book is so much fun to flip through. It looks nothing like your average cookbook. The design is part anime, part punk and tons of fun!

The recipes range from the easy to hard but Elizabeth explains everything quite thoroughly so you don't feel like any recipe is too daunting. Many of the recipes also suggest mixing the ingredients by hand. She feels the end product comes out better. And personally I feel like you put more love into it. I think this book is a must have for anyone who loves a good dessert!

Johnny Cupcakes Kitchen Handbag

Updated Nov 28, 2007

1st to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Before I was only able to wear my love for cupcakes with Johnny Cupcakes shirts, hoodies, belts, necklaces and underwear. As of last week Johnny Cupcakes now has a full grain/top grain leather handbag for me to tote around NYC. Measuring 11.5" x 6" x 6" it is as Johnny says "Not too big not too small". The Kitchen Handbag comes in 2 base colors - black and white. You really can't go wrong with either. Had I followed true New Yorker style law I would have gotten the black but I have so much black that I decided to go against my usual style and get the white base. What a rebel I am!

MOO

Updated Nov 5, 2007

50 people recommended this item

Description

I decided to get a set of MOO MiniCards since it was taking me forever to design my own. The verdict is that I am so in love with them I probably will never design them now!

The cards are roughly half the size of your average business card and made from a heavy card stock.

Along with being a fun and easy way to make business/calling cards the cards themselves are sourced from sustainable forests and the box is recyclable. Now doesn't that make you want to go out and make a set?!

Lily Loves by Lily Allen

Updated May 9, 2007

1st to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

I am so bummed I don't live in London right now because I can't go and get these lovely dresses designed by Lily Allen. Lily Loves is part of the New Look collection with dresses and accessories designed by Miss Lily Allen.

The dresses are wonderful for all body types and even better for those of us with curves. They are a reflection of the style Lily Allen has parted us with since coming onto the music scene.

Na Hoku Slipper Pendants

Updated Mar 22, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

I just recently got back from Hawaii and made my big jewelry splurge at Na Hoku on Maui where I bought a ruby red slipper! Na Hoku was the first jeweler on Hawaii to create the classic gem flip flop pendant. It's a beautiful and classic piece to get or give to remember beautiful Hawaii.

ToughSkin Case - Speck Products

Updated Mar 21, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

I'm a HUGE fan of Speck Products! They make kickass rubber cases that really protect. The ToughSkin case is just thick enough to give your phone "Maximum Rugged Protection" but slim enough get in and out of your pocket. I recommend getting the black case because over time the transparent one will yellow.

SEI Water

Description

Water in a flask is just so über chic! Everyone's doing it but are you?

I bought the small 275mL flask for my Mom to carry with her so she can whip it out and take a swig when needed during her subway ride. This way everyone can see just how cool my Mom is or just think she's a lush!

Alright, Still by Lily Allen

Updated Nov 22, 2006

12 people recommended this item

Description

I've been listening to Lily Allen as if she's going to go out of style. She's absolutely brilliant!!! Her cool British accent, whimsical lyrics and catchy beats has me hooked.

Some may say Lily is a little mean because her lyrics are about smiling at an ex-boyfriend crying, an old lady getting knocked over for her jewelry and her brother smoking weed. She tells it like it is and quite frankly it's refreshing considering she does it in such an upbeat song. This star from over the pond reminds me of Gwen Stefani, Imani Coppola and Garbage all rolled into one.

Her album doesn't officially get released in the US until January 2007 but you can buy her album online or at Virgin as an import and a 3 selection EP on iTunes. Cheers!

Fact: Smile is the first song on her album which coincidently is the first song she wrote and recorded as well. (via Lily Allen)

FON - La Fonera

Updated Nov 27, 2006

2 people recommended this item

Description

The idea behind La Fonera is to share your internet connection and where ever you go in the world you will have access to an internet connection. The catch? You have to be a member of the FON community and share your internet through a special router called La Fonera. You can also make money off your La Fonera router if you're one of the lucky few who have tons of people who are part of the FON community but don't have an internet connection to share. They pay $3 for a day pass to use yours (you get half that money & FON gets the other). However you can not have the best of both worlds and get free internet AND make money. 'Tis only fair.

Once more people start getting La Foneras and hooking them up to share their internet this will be one community you won't want to miss out on! Just imagine being anywhere in the world armed with a laptop and your FON account accessing the internet for free! (via FON)

VIIT - Enkel Leather Clutch

Updated Nov 13, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

VIIT? It's the way white is pronounced in Swedish. Chosen for its, optimism, freshness and pristine sense of joy. White is nothing. Bare. Naked. And like the blank canvas it implies, it requires filling.

This beautiful white leather clutch from VIIT is the epitome of modern minimalism. Made of white leather, a canvas interior with pocket, matte metal grommets, debossed logo and a magnetic strip for closure. This clutch will make a statement where ever you go. (via VIIT Design)

Bodum Double Walled Glasses - Canteen, Pavina, Assam, Rigi, Sake

Updated Nov 25, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

Love the line of "float" products from molo (http://www.molodesign.com) but can't afford it? Then Bodum's line of double walled drinkware is your answer with 4 different lines of affordable glasses to choose from. Prices range from $15 - $60. Glasses are mouth blown and rather light so be careful! Keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold and protects you from those elements when you're carrying it. (via bodum)

Janet Jewelry: Asymmetrical Halo Trio Necklace

Updated Jul 6, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

This is not your average necklace! This my friends is a work of art! Okay okay I'm being a little over the top but this sterling silver handmade asymmetrical piece from Janet Jewelry is a must have for any fashionista who tires of the average "centered" necklace. Looks great if you're wearing jeans or out on the town. I would suggest wearing earrings that are low key so the 2 pieces of jewelry don't fight with each other. (via Janet Sterling Silver Design)

Shellys - Foxey (Ladies Panelled Court Kitten Heel)

Updated Nov 17, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

Shoes from the UK rock! This pair of kitten heeled pump has beautiful scalloped details and comes in two great colors: Black & Turquoise. The heel is just high enough to give some lift without hurting your arches too much. Also the front is wide so for all of you who suffer from the genetics of having wide feet you'll be pleased that you're able to slip into them so easily. Like any shoe you do need to wear them in a bit but I'm so in love with them that I plan on visiting London every year just to go shoe shopping! Unfortunately they don't seem to ship to the US. *sniff* (via Shellys)
