• Love love love this 3D printed nylon “Cell Cycle” cuff bracelet from Nervous System. Is it flexible or rigid?

• InStyle Magazine, I am done with you. Your stylists are boring and it’s all feeling very ooooold. The September issue yielded nothing more for me than an Elizabeth and James twig bracelet and a drapey Derek Lam dress. Chain strap purses and tweeds are in for Fall? No way! Why is everyone playing it safe these days? Somewhere in internet land, another blogger was noting how happy she was that the styles haven’t really changed much from last year… that she could continue to shop her closet and stay current.  With everyone scared over the economy, I suppose that could be a relief. I just wouldn’t mind seeing a little more creativity in the styling department. That is all.
• Bizarre rash… on my butt.
• Those days when you dribble coffee on yourself 3 times before you’ve even finished your first cup.
• Really not feeling the new Fall 2009 Marimekko fabric line. I’ve been looking for something grand to stretch onto a frame and hang up but I always end up leaning towards this 2003 design by Maija Louekari called “Hetkiä/Moments” (in any of the color variations). Sooo $$$ for a piece of fabric!

I’d also love this in the bedroom, from their Spring 2008 line. It’s called “Pelimanni” designed by Iiro A. Ahokas.

• Depressing stuff - This article about FIJI bottled water was an interesting read. Also, if you haven’t seen it yet, FLOW is a documentary about the bottled water industry that I really enjoyed.
