  • Marimekko designs have been made into stylish desktop wallpaper from their legendary fabric designs, available for free!
  • The Neiman Marcus Christmas book is online… it’s fun to pretend.
  • I am totally into this graphic “Funny Bones” rug by FLOR.
  • I don’t know who Annelie Carlström is but I just bought her sweatshirt at H&M. Apparently, H&M is featuring “up-and-coming creative talents. This piece is part of a collection designed by various illustrators.” (That’s what the fancy tag said in 6 different languages.) Upon further investigation it’s part of her graduation project while at Beckmans School of Design in Sweden. God, I love this sooooo much!
  • I adore Lladró designs when human figures are not involved. Their new Naturofantastic collection is so similar to the plant life in the movie Fantastic Planet, I’m wondering if there isn’t some connection!

 

  • Tape Findings - mp3s of found cassettes… hilarious!
  • Norwegian graffiti feels strangely appropriate displayed in the idyllic landscapes.
  • Target has black leather elbow length gloves for $20 in store- not online yet.
  • Actor Dan Aykroyd’s new Crystal Head vodka is right in time for Halloween! How great it this bottle?

  • Going to Payless to pick up my Alice + Olivia Rivington ankle boots and finding them to be horrible – the quality, feel, everything – then getting my money refunded and spending that $50 at Target on 7 adorable tops from the clearance racks! Much more satisfying and rewarding!

  • Kate Moss immortalized in gold at the British Museum – “Siren“? I think not.

  • Portraits of people who make clothing out of their dog’s fur. My god.
  • You pay extra to have these guys make your jeans look worn-in!
  • Despicable people who steal your blog content and place it on their crappy irrelevent blogs! I am soooo sick of the nastiness that lurks on the internet!

Have you gotten into StumbleUpon yet or do you just have wicked skills at finding all this amazing stuff?!

Wicked skills my friend. No StumbleUpon. I finally set up the Google RSS reader with the zillion blogs and websites I look at every day so now, wonderful things are just delivered to me by the minute!

I need to figure this RSS stuff out. I know it’s a lot simpler than my brain wants to believe, I just have yet to give it a go.

I think you’d still get a kick out of Stumble… depending on what you choose as your interests to stumble into. As if we need any further distractions on the interwebz!
