Kitchen Cute


It can be extremely difficult to find cute accessories for the Kitchen, especially dish towels. Most come in green or red and white gingham prints, or are saturated with sunflowers.

One night while stopping by a friends art show in Hayes Valley, I spotted the sweetest little towel, meant for my kitchen. Sweet, functional and only $17 is the perfect hi-lo find.

The Perfect Pet


Everyday I dream of having a dog....unfortunately my lease and my boyfriend do not agree. However both parties do allow fish, but I can not envision a huge fishbowl in my decor. Most tanks and bowls are huge and extremely unappealing to the eye.

But as usual our friendly Canadadian friends at Target have developed a solution.....A wall-mounted fish bowl. Not only is this design modern and clever, it is perfect for the size fish I want to buy. The best part ever... it is only $17.

Go Gold

In a search for a pair of flats (another!), I found this super classy, versatile and easy to wear gold pair by Olivia Morris.

Her design style is feminine yet refined with a sense of humor. According to her: ‘Every girl should have a pair of gold shoes, like every girl should own a little black dress’. Although this statement is no news for me, her Delia flats ($670) are by far one of the few truly day-to-night flats out there.

With jeans and tee for day, or skirt with dark opaque tights for evening, these shoes will for sure make you stand out, in a chic shinny way, in the crowd.

Flying Carpet


Rug shopping is so daunting. It is hard to find the right size, a cool print, a durable blend, and most of all - not spend over $1000. I am a huge fan of white shag but realize how dirty my white jeans get when worn, so buying a white shag rug is an instant no. As my search continued, I found and fell in love with this bold Moroccan window rug by West Elm, not only for the visual appeal but for the price- a 3'x5' is only $89.

I plan to go all white with my guest bedroom by painting the walls bright white, White Saarinen tables, and white bedding. Of course I have to add gold lighting- because I do love gold, but my favorite piece will be the Moroccan Window Rug in chocolate and white. The rug allows me to incorporate bold color and ethnic flare with out maxing out my credit.
