The Best Pens

Whether it's taking diligent notes at work (read: doodling) or writing prompt thank you notes for your much appreciated birthday presents (they're in the mail!), Le Pen makes the best pens because they are inexpensive, smudge proof and best of all, come in fun colors.

Every glass needs it's day.

Again, no one "needs" these mini decals from Sprout Home, but how much fun would it be to decorate the unexpected with birds, leaves and zoo animals (I will never go to the zoo in real life, so I must experience it somehow.)?

To splurge or not to splurge. Was that the question?

As I constantly search for the perfect coffee table and/or media center, I've found more impractical "needs" than anyone expected. At the top of the list, anything John Derian designs. This pink hyacinth cache pot is so beautiful...but really, do I need it? Yes, yes I do.

Carrots aren't just for rabbots...

Can you imagine...hundreds of beautiful stationary options, all in just one place?! It sounds like a superstore, I know, but you must check out Carrot & Stick Press' amazing selection, with the cutest variety of patterns - apples, lobsters, pigs, palm trees - you name it, I love it.

Skinny Dipping for Your Skin

A sucker for packaging, I'm heading to Barney's tomorrow to snag Nude's lip balm (gotta start out somewhere, right?). It's originally from Europe, making its way to the states to please organic ingredient/biodegradable packaging lovers. Per the NYT, it also has Bono's official backing, which makes it all the better.
