Orla Kiely Leather Handbag

First to recommend

Description

I think I've loved absolutely everything Orla Kiely has made, and this great slouchy handbag is no exception! Her trademark leafy pattern and quirky orange rings make this a very unique but wearable piece. The description says it's super soft leather too... Mmmmmm.

Ponger Taddie ping-pong ball cozy

First to recommend

Description

Holy cow, is this thing cute!

We've recently added a ping pong table to our office, and the balls are constantly being misplaced. With the "Taddie", which sports an ingenius little toggle on its head, you can clip it to your bag, clothes, or the table itself!

Never lose your balls again. (via Cute Overload)

Betsey Johnson Resin Bangle Watch

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I have never been a huge fan of wearing a watch because I've always thought most watches look very masculine on me. Am I alone in this feeling? I'm not sure. Have I just been picking the wrong styles of watches? Veeeeeeery possible... UNTIL NOW.

This adorable and unique "bangle-style" watch from Betsey Johnson may just cure me of my watchomanwristophobia for good!

Red Poppies Apron

First to recommend

Description

New apron design from Domistyle!

I never thought I'd be the type of gal to actually wear an apron in the kitchen... that is, until I actually started baking. Then you realize it's not just so that you look domestic and hard-working, it's because an apron REALLY HAS A PURPOSE.

And this one in particular is just so cute... (and matches my kitchen)!

cock-a-doodle timer

First to recommend

Description

Why are egg timers such a haven for cuteness anyway?

This Anthropologie hen timer is adorable and it will be mine... not just because it's the only thing I can afford from the Anthropologie catalog (although that's the truth), but because the cuteness of this particular timer transcends "kitsch" and lives quite happily in my mind as "just plain cool".

SHA-DO light fixture

First to recommend

Description

Can you believe how gorgeous this is? It's a light fixture which comes in a number of patterns so that when illuminated, beautiful shadows are cast on the wall or ceiling where it is mounted. What a great idea!

It's yet another example of how to decorate by doing next-to-nothing -- my kind of project! (via NOTCOT)

Little Birds Salt Pepper

4 people recommended this item

Description

If I don't quit buying salt & peppers, I will have to start calling myself a collector. But THIS is probably the most charming little set I've seen in quite a while. By Dutch by Design, these little ceramic friends sit facing eachother like little lovers on a wire perch until you pluck them out to regurgitate seasonings on your food.

LOVE IT!
