This port-a-potty (Ma Cacabane) got an early morning laugh out of me! An entertaining 4 walls provide your little one with a private zone to do what they gotta do. Plant a potty inside and you've got yourself a full on pee-wee port-a-potty stall. Pretty darn cute...



Happiest 2nd Birthday to my favorite little Blessing!!



Wishing my little birthday bug another year piled high with heaps of love and happiness!!
You fill all my days with sunshine and never fail to keep me smiling; or on occasion - crying from happiness and gratitude. I can't thank God enough for each morning I'm blessed to wake up to your precious little voice - filled with love and life.
I love you Freidabug!! Happy, happy birthday!
O.M.G.
That's honestly all I have to say about this slim, sleek, and stylin' picnic-inspired table. Impeccably tasteful - form + function perfection. Would make for a superbly impressionable family-kitchen table...!
Hopper Table, from Extremis of Belgium. Beatific.


The hot-topic right now is Andrew Zuckerman and his newly published project, Music. I don't know anyone who is not a fan of his work - his lens produces epic captures! And I'm especially fond of his publication for kids, Creature ABC. Come to think of it, his Creature Floor Puzzles ($24.95) are probably one of the most timeless ways to gift a Wii-era child... lend them an appreciation for beauty and affection for creatures of the earth. With Chanukah around the corner and kids receiving way too many high-tech toys, this may inspire you to take it down a notch - spend some time puzzled over on the floor again! These images are quite incredible, check this:

I can't wait to check out Music:
"The Music project features dynamic portraits of over fifty musicians of all ages, from across genres, who provide their perspectives on one of the most universal and yet unexplainable art forms. Music is available as a book, which includes portraits and interviews as well as access to a feature-length film; it is also available as an iPad app, with text and portraits from the book as well as individual films for each contributor exclusive to the app."
Here's a sneak peek:

Now this is why the "collaboration thing" totally rocks!!
When Gwyneth Paltrow (who was surprisingly fabulous singing at the CMA Awards last night! Watch her performance here.) spent months in Nashville on set for the indie film "Country Strong", she had an interior decorator work with an empty, raw space and turn it into something she and her family could live in peacefully, albeit temporarily. I read about the renovations on (one of my favorite online-spots!) Goop, and spotted a Blu Dot sofa in her children's bedroom - almost identical to our Blu Dot for Urban Outfitters find in Freida's room. Here's the catch: her's was retail for $900 vs. ours which was a BD for UO collaboration ($648) swaged on clearance for a measly $125!! Our "Benzo" has wooden legs instead of steel ones, and I'm sure the "Flat Out" is a lot more comfortable to sleep on, but there are ways to score big on design, ladies!
