Kamui Magazine RackWhen I first saw this thing, I wasn't sure what to make of it. It kind of reminds me of a giant blue clothespin. Turns out its a mod magazine rack. It's only four inches wide, so it doesn't take up a lot of floor space next to your couch or in the bathroom or wherever you do your reading. It also comes in black, white, or red.
$37.00, Loft Party
Recycled Magazine ClutchThis clutch designed by Nahui Ollin is made of recycled paper and magazine clippings that have been covered in recycled plastic. That makes for a cool eco-friendly bag that looks sort of like a ransom note. It's definitely a conversation piece.
$100.00, MoMA Store
Korres Lip ButterYour lips will thank you for this stuff. It feels great on, more like a moisturizer than a lip gloss, and it smells delicious. I'd recommend the rosy shades--Quince, Pomegranate, and Wild Rose--over Guava, which is a kind of white. Guava still smells and feels amazing, but it sort of looks like you put lotion on your lips.
$9.00, Sephora
Wilton Ice Cream Cone Cupcake PanThis is kind of bizarre/awesome. It's a pan that helps you create cupcakes in the shape of ice cream cones. The bottom half has markings like a cone, and the top swirls like a helping of ice cream. The cupcakes look really yummy, but I imagine they would give you a hankering for soft serve.
$27.95, Sur La Table
Vinney PumpsKnow who would love these shoes? Snow White. (Or wait...was she barefoot? I can't remember. She was always kind of lazing around the dwarf house while they were off in the mines, wasn't she?) Anyway, whether or not you lay claim to the title "fairest of them all," these patent peep-toe pumps with bows are sure to get you noticed.
$79.00, Naturalizer
Personalized Gift WrapIf the gift doesn't say it all, now you can have the wrapping paper express your sentiments. Namemaker offers nearly 40 styles of paper, including zebra print and pretty orange paisley, that you can customize with a pattern of 37 characters of your choosing. That means you can decorate your gift with phrases like, "Hey, better late than never," and, "This isn't what you think it is."
$25.95 for a 12-foot roll, Namemaker
Geode Slice NecklaceThis necklace, designed by Peggy Li, is so beautiful. It's made of a milky slice of agate geode from Brazil, with crystals lining the center. The agate pendant is about 1.5 inches long. It comes with either a gold-fill or a sterling silver chain, in lengths of 16, 18, and 20 inches.
$59.00, Peggy Li Creations
Kitchenette Cafe CurtainsThey're sorta tacky and definitely cheesy, but I still think these cotton cafe curtains, decked out with pears and cherries, would look so cute in my kitchen. You can get a matching valance for another $12.
$38.00, Urban Outfitters
Cerises EarringsThese 1.5-inch cherry earrings from Sweet Rhyme (a division of Rhyme and Reason Designs in Santa Barbara, California), are just too precious. They're made with sterling silver stems, red glass cherries, glass flowers, and peridot chips for leaves.
$16.00, Etsy
Retro Block iPod SpeakerThis tiny 2.5-inch-wide speaker lets your share your tunes without having to let someone else put your earbuds in their ears (yuck). And--hello-- it looks like a Lego brick! They should include some extra Legos, so you can build it into a car when you aren't using the speaker.
$25.00, Fred Flare
Vintage Flower BroochAdd some whimsy to corporate attire, liven up a sweater, or add a splash of color to a handbag with this funky purple '60s brooch. Orange Button has a wide selection of brightly-colored vintage brooches here.
$25.00, Orange Button
Glitter Bangle BundleIf you're going to wear multicolor glitter bangles, I think it's important go for it and wear a gob of them. This set comes with 18. The better to add sparkle to your wrist. Or whole arm.
$4.80, Forever 21
Minor Emergency KitsI want both of these for my desk drawer. What I like most about this little sewing kit and first aid kit is that they kind of look alike (so don't get confused and sew a button on your boo-boo). They both have little scissors, but the first aid kit has bandages and swabs while the sewing kit has thread and needles.
$5.95 each, See Jane Work
DwellStudio for Target Perch Bedding CollectionI really dig DwellStudio's bedding, but its stuff is usually out of my price range. That's why I was excited to see that the company designed a line of bedding for Target. The flora on this cotton comforter from Target reminds me a lot of the Hedgerow Persimmon Duvet Set ($264). You can find more of the Target DwellShop designs here.
$85.49 for a full/queen comforter, Target
Diana Fayt Salt and Pepper CellarsIf I were to ever cook something, I think these ceramic salt and pepper cellars, designed by Diana Fayt, would be a cute way to spice up a dish. They'd look great on the table too. Now you just need to buy some tiny spoons. The cellars come in four different colors.
$32.00, Rare Device
