I love this hallway...

I love the paper lanterns, I love the magazine collection serving as shelf space.  I love the high ceilings.  I love the white.  I love the airy, sunny breadth of the whole thing.  The owner started life as a tailor and then moved to interior design.  Somehow, the 'construction sense' that you need for tailoring shows through in this room.  Don't you think?

Tiffany blue on etsy today

I am somewhat manic for Tiffany blue -- so of course, I lost it when I went on etsy and was greeted by all of this beauty...

...and there's more where that came from!

More brilliance from Stockholm Street Style

...outside a Missoni show, no less.

Staple-free staplers

On my last few passes through security, I've been selected for special screening because of my office supplies.  I travel with paper clips, binder clips, tape and a teeny stapler that takes normal-size staples.  Yesterday, they took the stapler out of my laptop case and rode it through the scanning belt by itself.  It looked very cute as it rode along.  [I wanted SO DESPERATELY to take a picture, but they had already patted me down and I didn't want to provoke any more examination.]

I've wanted one of these staple-free staplers for a while.  They are only $3 or so, but shipping is usually around $8 and I couldn't bring myself to pay $8 for something that weighs less than an ounce.  I am beginning to think that this senseless expense is actually worth it.  

Anyway, here are some pictures of staple-free staplers.  They are all so cute, I don't know which one to pick.  Maybe I'll get them all and coordinate with my outfits.  If the package weighs 10 lbs, I might feel better about the $8 for s/h.

np:

Alden Strikes, Amon Tobin + Jim Dooley

Down By the River, Buddy Miles

Hook, PJ Harvey

All My Friends are Dead, Brother Russell

I've officially gone crazy

I don't know why -- after 20 years of not caring -- I am so obsessed with fashion, but I just saw a bag that I don't think I can live without.  The only problem is that it is $300.  I'm in the city tomorrow and I am very tempted to call them and see if they can do layaway.  I'm sure it will be gone soon.

I really hope these catch on.  Everytime I walk down the street in the rain, I feel like I'm in a video game.  Brava!

Check out a demo.  Genius.

Nigella Lawson Bliss Measuring Jug

I want the blue jug desperately -- along with almost everything else in Nigella's line of kitchenware.  I've wanted it for a long time.  I really just need to get it and then get a good night's sleep.

BTW, I have three of her books and ALL of the recipes work.  I shall have to post a picture of the next masterpiece.
