Lynne Curtin Designs

Any fans of Real Housewives of the OC out there? Did you catch last nights episode? Well, Lynne revealed that she is a jewelry designer and she has quite an impressive collection! Even Fred Segal's in CA picked her line up! Pictured above are a few of my favorites featured on Lynne's website. She's so talented, isn't she?!

Fuiji Instax Camera

This is one heck of a cool looking instant camera!

{{available for a liited time only at Urban Outfitters}}



Another fun electronic type gadget at Urban Outfitters is the iPod DJ Mixer. This could be a lot of fun at parties!

Ring Dish

This is such a beautiful little ring dish. I love the vibrant color on the inside and the textural quality of the outside.

Scarlet Satchel

I'm lusting after this glossy red handbag by Rampage. If you're in the market for a high-end looking bag at a low-end cost, this could very well be the bag for you too!

Signature Scents

My latest signature fragrance has been Miss Dior Cherie, but I am thinking about going back to my old standby, Green Tea by Bvlgari. I first discovered this perfume while in Milan, Italy in 1999. I received so many compliments on the way it smelled while there!

Do you have a signature scent? If so, what do you use? Or do you switch fragrances regularly?

Books, books, & more books

Will I ever say enough is enough with buying books already?! Sheesh! In the meantime, here are 2 on my radar:
Beyond Trend, How to Innovate in an Over-Designed World by Matt Mattus and In-House Design In Practice by Cathy Fishel

Large Bird Cage Pendants

Aren't these bird cage pendants cute and creative? They even have little doors!

{{available thru RainRae}}

Party Favors

I thought these would be funny at a party! Might spark conversation anyway...

Renata Dress

Holy smokes, this little lace dress is hot! By Kova & T, available through ShopBop. It's a tad bit short for me to wear out on the town comfortably though. But, I so love mini's! The shoes are perfect with this dress, aren't they?

Mixed-chain Necklace

I adore this forged droplet necklace from the Anna Sheffield Collection.

Earth Friendly CupKozy

Here's a nice idea for all of you Starbuck's lovers (me included)...a reusable coffee cup cozy available through CupKozy at Etsy.

Greenwich Wallet

I have been lusting over this wallet from Banana Republic forever and noticed today that it finally went on sale! I decided to spend the money on my patio instead though, so it will have to wait. Please don't let it sell out before I'm ready to get it!

***Update- (4/1/08) I am sooooo very sad. It already sold out! It took me over a year to find a wallet I wanted to buy, too! Back to the drawing boards I guess.

Pumps

These BCBG pumps are too cute! Aren't they? Neutral enough to wear with so many different outfits. Dress them up, or dress them down.

Brown Leather Handbag

Love this tote by Etsy seller, The Leather Store. I have a feeling I will be thinking of this one for days, if not weeks to come. I think it would make a great weekend bag!

Dreaming of Adobe

Adobe CS3 Boxes
Originally uploaded by Wolfgang Bartelme

Oh, how I wish the Creative Suite wasn't so expensive. I'm hesitating hardcore at installing Windows on my iMac so I can install my design programs. It's time for an upgrade regardless, as I am still on Photoshop 7! But, I just can't bring myself to put any of it on my new computer! What's the point of having a Mac if you're just going to be in a Windows environment, ya know? The Creative Suite is like $1800 though!!! How the hell is everybody else able to buy this? Oh, woe is me.

**Update: I now have CS2! Now I can design much more efficiently!

Puma - Kick Grip Bag

This gym bag by Puma would make me want to go to the gym more!

Carton Vase

I'm diggin' this porcelain Carton Vase by U.K. designer James Burgess, available through CB2.

Naughty & Nice

Another fun idea for Valentine's Day from Urban Outfitters is this slightly naughty coffee mug featuring a fig covered Adam and Eve. The naughty part comes in when it is filled with hot liquid...the fig leaves disappear. I think it's funny! But, then again, I do have quite a quirky sense of humor.

Love Vegas Style

I can't imagine actually using this pillowcase set, but I found it pretty whimsical. Cute idea for Valentine's Day. The King and Queen Pillowcase Set is available at Urban Outfitters.

KnoWhere Clock - You & Me

What a great clock for those of us with loved ones who travel! This would be a really cool clock for when Craig goes to Eurpoe in March! But, I would have to change his clock hand every day, as he will be going from country to country on a daily basis!
