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)!!

Bringing Sexy Back...in the Kitchen!


Dayum! These Green Wrapz aprons put a whole new spin on the word "saucy." I love the feminine, lingerie-inspired styles...these would definitely help inspire me to whip up something delightfully sinful (just in time for Valentine's Day!). And of course gotta love that they're made with SKAL-certified organic cotton (with hemp and silk trims). Yum!

Ny New Fave Look: Grandpa Chic

Trust me, there's really something to be said for sweater vests, fraying belts, and dorky patterns. But even if you're not ready for a head-to-toe embrace of the whole grandpa look, you can take baby steps with these quirky Narwhal wallets made from vintage ties. I bought one a while back to use when my bigger wallet won't fit into a tiny clutch and I've been meaning to blog my love ever since. Mine has a weird-brown-stripes-and-polka-dotty-egg pattern that I adore. But I love the patterns seen here just as much -- and they're all available on the website (for now at least - they're one of a kind!).

Time for Inexpensive Nesting

I love the leggy look of these reclaimed wood nesting tables from Broyhill (originally spotted on ApartmentTherapy.com). Luckily, in this case, style comes at a reasonable price... $419 for that big nesting cocktail table set! Not bad, eh?
