[COOL SHIT] H. Bloom Flower Subscription

True confessions: I used to want to be a floral designer. In fact, I had this fantasy of opening up a combo flower shop/bakery and calling it FLOUR. Laugh if you must, but I kinda still thnk it a killer idea. I mean, right? Only I realized that I would have to wake up at 3am every day, and work every weekend, and deal with annoying fucking brides. So that one went out the window.  But I loved all my floral design classes and I still love the shit outta flowers.

Which is why I think this new weekly subscription service from H. Bloom is such a rad idea.

Ode to Sassy Magazine

Superteen fashion blogeur Tavi (of Style Rookie fame) is, like many of our asses, pining away for Sassy Magazine (Are you Tired of Sassy Yet? The Answer Is NO).

Jayzus...tell me about it.

I'm pretty sure Sassy magazine first gave me the idea that I might like to write some day. I dreamed of *maybe*, if I was totally fucking lucky, having like a thimble full of the coolness factor that the writers of that mag clearly all possesed with reckless abandon.

Too bad, so sad.

[9 BY DESIGN RECAP] Episode 4: Weekend In The Hamptons

Phrase of the week? "Let's blow this out."

Get your minds out of the fucking gutter ppl...this isn't what Robert said during their nanny interviews (zing!)

This week the Novos are re-doing a guest house out on Long Island and trying to find some full-time help for their kids (who, after 3 weeks, I somehow still don't hate! Yay!).

So yeah, this "guest house" out on Long Island is owned by someone who, unlike Dave Barry, doesn't want their face plastered all over my flatscreen. They're keeping shit anon...so anon, in fact that Cortney told one of her staffers that they'd never be meeting "him." Borrrrring.

[CATALOGGED] Crate & Barrel: Spring 2010

Crate and Barrel's Spring 2010 catalog just arrived and apparently, the theme of this season is ORANGE.  Orange vases, orange couches, orange pillows—orange EVERYTHING.  Listen, I like bright colors, and I like orange—it's retro and fun—but I don't want my apartment to look like I'm living inside a goddamned tangerine. 

Take note, C&B, take note.

Anyway, here are my top faves from this collection...
