The first time I caught glimpse of a Woolly Pocket was inside the flagship Splendid boutique on Robertson blvd. I initially walked into the store in order to get a better look at that awesome wooden horse, when the wall of foliage took my breathe away!
The basic concept behind the Whoolly is a modular gardening method made of flexible, breathable, and foldable containers. Designs available for placing on flat surfaces as well as those for hanging along walls is what sets these "pockets" aside from the normal nursery-packs; enabling anyone with vertical space to create an urban garden.
Was so excited when I opened up the latest CB2 catalogue to discover they are featuring a Whooly Wall Pocket this season for $39.95!!
I so love this time of year: purging the bathroom drawer of cloudy gray, muted plums, and too-deep red shades of nail polish. They were beautiful, and they served me well through winter; but now it's time to shine! Can't wait to stock up on these new $6 neon nail lacquers from American Apparel! Aside from the sheer fun of rainbow-on-steroids nail color, you wouldn't believe how exciting neutral get-ups (hello, summer khaki!) can get when paired with neon crazy finger-tip color!
I'm very much looking forward to viewing this film, and I thought I'd share the excitement!

The cinematography is breathtaking, as is the immense vibrance of color! Plus, K'naan makes everything even more amazing, and a Morgan Freeman narration = film gold!
It's no secret that Crew Cuts Kids is one of the best kept secrets in your child's closet, but some of their productions still come to amaze me! I was just smitten when I spotted this tom-boy-ish ballerina tee in their collectible cotton collection.
I think I'd describe my daughter as sporty-princess-chic, and this tee is totally personifying that coined definition (which has me getting even more excited about the Royal Wedding - Kate's style is definitely sporty-chic, and she's about to be coroneted as a real live princess!). Somehow, Freida's always spotted in tutus + converse, tank tops + fairy wings, wand in one hand + hammer in another etc. She loves sports, and butterflies, and construction, and babydolls, and breakdancing, and ballet.... she's quite the little cocktail, and J.Crew nailed it! Leave it to those folks to turn ballet into as athletic a sport as basketball...
Post-Passover shout-out in appreciation of that which is leavened! :)
Once upon a time a photographer and an illustrator got together and produced this image for a friend's birthday (They even documented the whole process in this rad video!) Once out on the web, this cute and colorful photograph got heaps of unexpected attention - suddenly, it was a world wide hit! After numerous inquiries about how to get the print, the talented folk behind it decided to put it into production. You can now snag your own sweet little "Anatomy of a Cupcake" print here.
Also, check out the rest of Allen Hemberger's incredible imagery!
