I wanted black walls as a teenager, but I assure you these rooms show a much more sophisticated take on the color than I would have pulled off at 15.

My friend reviewed a Color Me Badd reunion show. (Yes, you read that correctly.) Then they called her fat.

Lisa Congdon is an inspiration.

These suspender curtains remind me of my kitchen window treatments, but with a little more whimsy.

An amazing illustrated recap of my Alt Summit panel.

For those of us afraid to commit to an actual terrarium. (I’d like to see these framed.)

Did you hear the news from Fab.com?

I’m not a sneakers type of gal, but even I’d wear these.

His and Hers, perfectly summed up.

It’s a set of books! It’s a toy! It’s both! And it’s pretty popular with my little ones.

A great post on not giving up.

And speaking of not giving up, Domino is coming back! But wait… it may just be the equivalent of a clip show.

For the fellas: How to dress for a date like you know what you’re doing.

Saucy little minx. (Perhaps this one is also for the fellas. NSFW.)

Max Wanger’s year in review is very pretty to look at.

Sports! SPOOOORTS!

There may be snow falling in bag, fat flakes outside as I type this, but hush! It’s beginning to look a lot like summer. (Let me have my fantasy.)

A chic little sweater, with a very affordable price tag.

Love, for dinosaur fans.

I think I like these so much because I was never a girl scout. Badge envy.

How is OK Go so awesome?

There are some excellent resolution backgrounds at the To Resolve Project. I love that one to the right: “Work like you don’t need the money (but then, you know, get the money).”

This video perfectly captures the mood at Alt. And it was fun to see my panel shown, about 30 seconds in!

Eeeek! How’d you like to sleep in this every night?

These Model-morphosis sliders let you go between bare-faced and totally made up for the runway. The transformations are fascinating.

Food meets fashion.

I know this has been making the rounds and you’ve probably seen it by now, but come on. How cute is Kristen Bell?

I am flipping over the Florence Broadhurst collection for Kate Spade. One of my favorite florals ever, mixed with liberal doses of pink and on cute, ladylike clothes? Dying.

You need these oven mitts. (Yes, need.)

Your fridge could be sporting some ice, and I’m not talking about the kind in the freezer.

I’m not really a ‘tote’ person (I prefer more structured bags), but I’m loving these. The reversible heart one? Yes, please.

The prettiest terrariums.

Stumped for a Valentine’s Day gift? How about this?

Kids’ furniture that costs as much as (or more than!) their adult counterparts. So pretty, but would you splurge?
