I mentioned Confetti System long ago here (when they initiated their collaboration with UO), and we've all seen them grow in popularity (J. Crew display window and catalogues, on stage with Beach House, and even Bergdorf Goodman!), but now it seems they have seriously achieved pop-culture cult-like status! I give credit where it's due, but I don't think I've ever really gotten the enormity of their work until I caught a glimpse of this image: a fringed will for Nanashi in Paris. This is the sort of textural and beatific detailed-design that makes my heart beat a little faster...!
I'm also smitten by that color palette! Where to integrate....hmm....
V-day is coming early this year over at the Gilt Groupe!
Ditch the Victorias Secret Pink spit-up-stained cotton T-shirt and sweat shorts at the bedroom door; here's all a mom needs to feel like a '30's screen siren!!

(Make sure the Mr. gets a sneak peek at the A-list PJ's - Date night just may end early... "Uh, check please!")
Remember this Puzzle cutting board I blogged about a while ago? If you thought that was great for a party, check out this one! Beautiful solid acacia wood - displaying the most gorgeous and natural grain - interlock or come separate for cutting, serving, and entertaining. Plus, this is the type of kitchen goodie that manages to make your kid's daily cheese and crackers look rustically chic (not to mention fun!). Treated and finished with mineral oil, this 6 piece cutting puzzle is fabulous form + function + fun!

I currently can't get enough of: boyish accessories with girly-getups! It's so fun for me to be able to go so girly and frilly and bring it all back down to earth with some raw and casual accents from the boys department...
(The hat was $2.50 at the Gap and was much too cute to leave there! Plus, Freida rocked it!)
If you haven't noticed, I'm super stoked about our trip to Chicago next week, and I've got winter on the brain! With my childhood in Canada and the Mid-west, I really had my fair share of snow sledding experiments (in 4th grade I even broke my leg while doing some casual hill-side sledding at a friend's in Wisconsin), and test-running all sorts of sleds downhill. Funny how some things never change; apparently I'm still in the 4th grade - on the lookout for the hippest most ergonomic sled of the season! And it looks like I've found it...
The Zipfy Mini Luge is one of the cutest compact sleds I've ever seen. It promises top-notch safety, easy-as-pie maneuvering, and the most thrilling downhill ride! The small-scale production is the factor that truly steals my heart (at only 3.5 pounds and 13"L x 21"W x 16"H!!), not to mention me being a sucker for all those bright color options!
Zipfy Mini Luge, $35.00
And if you think the Zipfy is cute, check out it's little brother - Zipfy Junior (ages 3-5)!
Zipfy Junior, $29.99
New York Magazine wrote about the debut of the Zipfy in 2008 and was quoted having said, "Where the average plastic saucer lumbers down a city-park hillsides like a minibus, [Zipfy] handles more like a Porsche...”.
