Growing Green

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!!

Banking on Rainbows

Spotting this bank today totally made me smile. Even in this economy, I'd be walkin' on sunshine! :)

If he didn't have a beard... I'd snag these ties up at once!

Spring Finger

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!

It's all about the simple moments in life...

We spent an hour at an empty public school yard last week just messing around. My husband and I love playing roller hockey one-on-one, but this was the first time we brought Freida along for the ride. Some snacks kept her busy in her stroller while we got competitive, and after that we let her play around a bit as well. Was one of the yummiest, most special afternoons I had had in a while...

As I said... the little things. :)
