Max & Cleo Origami Pleated DressThis little black dress is too freaking adorable. It's a faux wrap-dress, which gives it a really flattering shape, with its belted waist and A-line. And it has these great details along the shoulders and neckline. They're pleats that almost look like origami boxes. It's a stunning look for nearly any occasion.

Flamenco Shower CurtainSometimes when I'm in the shower, it's like the rest of the world doesn't exist. I think this ruffled cotton shower curtain with its many calming shades of blues and greens would get me one step closer to tuning out the entire universe. At least until the hot water runs out.

Menswear HalterThis little cotton sundress is really cool. It seems almost like a Project Runway challenge. It looks like it's made of a deconstructed, blue-striped, button-down men's dress shirt. And made in a beautiful, form-flattering way. I love the way the vertical stripes turn diagonal on the bust area.

Tara HatI saw this on InStyle.com the other day. It's the cutest way to protect your 'do from the elements that I've ever seen. It's made of white weather-resistant cotton, with either green or black patent leather trim. Granted, it costs a lot more than a kitschy plastic kerchief, but it's got some serious glam.

Zebra Print Occasional ChairI totally want this chair. The shape is very Louis XV, but the fun zebra print gives it a modern spin. I think it would be a fun piece for the living room. In the bedroom, it's a cool place to drape clothes when you feel too lazy to use hangers.

Dusk’s View TopThis ornate embroidered top kind of looks like something out of a Jane Austin movie. Still, I think it would add a little glamour to a summery Saturday night when paired with a white pencil skirt and some pretty sandals. It has such a flattering shape.

Pod OttomanThis plastic ottoman is pretty groovy. I like how you can rest your drink (or a lamp or your feet or whatever) on the top and fill the middle with books and magazines. It's something that works for the patio too.
$198.00, Chiasso
Fatboy MarimekkoI guess this is the mod version of the bean bag chair. As a kid, I loved flopping down on ours...until it burst at the seam, launching static-y Styrofoam beads in every direction. (Oops.) Even though I despise the name (Fatboy? Really?), I would love to come home and flop down on one of these. I especially like the Marimekko fabric.

Pa-Tou-Tou Canasta ToteThis canvas bag is a little wonky, but I like it. The color combination is fun, and it has an interesting, almost feminine shape. It's kind of big too--about a foot wide. It's definitely something that has the potential to upstage the rest of your outfit in a bad way, but I think it still makes for a cool day bag.
$175.00, Piperlime
Step-By-Step DressI love this cotton dress. It's black with a yellow lining that shows through beautiful cutouts on the lower half of the dress, where it's embroidered and decorated with white flowers. I also dig the sweatheart neckline and white scalloped trim along the bodice and spaghetti straps. It's a great date dress.

The Family Custom WallpaperThis wallpaper by Swedish designer Lisa Bengtsson is pretty rad. It can turn one side of your room into a wall of picture frames. You can stick your own photos to the wall inside the borders of the faux frames for a cool effect. Basically, sticking anything to the wall turns it into something of a work of art.

Baroque Balance ScaleOkay, this price is kind of steep for a bathroom scale, but this is the first scale I've seen that doesn't deserve to be hidden under the bathroom sink. In fact, since it's mostly there for decoration, do you really need to weigh yourself at all? Hey, that's my argument, and I'm sticking to it.
$118.00, Chiasso
Ada 2 Piece HeelsIf these strappy open-toe heels from Frye asked me to marry them, I'd probably say yes. I just adore the color of these blue leather shoes. They have a small two-inch heel and lend pretty much any outfit a little panache.
$146.00, Edge of Furge
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
Blue Angel DressThe color of this silk dress is gorgeous. It's like someone took the Mediterranean Ocean and made it into a sundress. And it's got these great ruffles on the bottom. Plus, for those who don't like constantly yanking up the top of strapless dresses, it comes with attachable straps.
