Raising Sid Vicious

Separated at birth??

Many apologies for the radio silence...I've been kinda busy having a baby and whatnot! Introducing Finley Constance to the blogosphere! She's 3 weeks old today and yes, she was born with that hair and that attitude. Oy vey.

With all the hair brushing and styling, Finley is keeping me very busy so posts will be infrequent for now. But very soon I will be featuring images from Fi's fresh and colorful green nursery! Check back often.

With love from the baby trenches...

The vibrant color and lively pattern on this Global Goods computer bag is sure to add much-needed funk to any drab work wardrobe. Sales support "widow's empowerment in post-genocidal Rwanda and the treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS."

To Love or Not to Love? Book City Jackets

I'm kinda torn about these recycled paper book covers from Book City Jackets. On the one hand, why cover up a pretty book that some presumably talented publishing house design team slaved over? On the other hand, the crisp brown paper and straightforward fonts of these jackets do appeal to the design minimalist in me. I could see covering just a few unattractive books and placing them on a guest room bedside table for a playful, arty look.

Either way, hope you can enjoy several cozy hours of reading this weekend!

Welcome the Weekend with Goldiehome Organic Bedding!

Just in time for a sleeping-in Saturday, I was very happy to read about Goldiehome's line of eco-luxe organic bedding. Founder / designer Elana Bober used to design for Donna Karan's Home Collection, and I can see the influence in Goldiehome's soothing colors and subtle geometric and nature-inspired patterns. Want to get in on a high-thread-count sleepathon? The Goldiehome line is sold at 2modern.com (and other shops: full list here).

Object of My Affection: Allsop's Modern Solar Lanterns

What's not to love about Allsop Home & Garden's fab new line of Soji Modern Solar Lanterns? They look a whole lot like those Le Klint indoor pendant lights you see in pretty much every modern home decor editorial spread (I'm talkin' to you, Dwell), but come in cool patterns, cost a fraction of the price, require no death-defying installation, and won't eat up your electric bill. Plus, they'll give your garden that delightfully romantic glow that makes every sip of sauvignon blanc taste that much more like a crisp slice of heaven.

Gypsy 05 Takes Organic Dresses to the Max

Guess what? Spring is just around the corner! It is. Really. Please don't argue with me.

And with Spring comes the return of...dresses! Also, flowers and sun and al fresco cocktail hours. Ahhhh, Spring. Anyhoo, Gypsy O5 dresses -- cute and comfy enough to convert anyone to the whole maxi dress trend -- are the perfect wardrobe addition for the upcoming happy season. My instructions: Layer 'em with a cardigan or snug blazer for chilly nights; wear 'em as the comfiest plane outfit ever; knot 'em at the knee for a day at the beach. Also, about the plane thing: Take me with you.

A few other fab things about these dresses:

1. They're made with organic cotton and natural dyes.
2. And manufactured in a solar-powered factory in Hollywood, CA.
3. You can buy 'em at TheTrendBoutique.com for 15% off using coupon code "Saves15" (code applies to everything on the site)!!
