Poly - Amazing.com


Finally I have found the equal to my fiance's video games. A site where I can spend countless hours killing my vision in the hopes of over-coming new challenges....polyvore.com. Whether created for facebook or hollywood stylists, I am totally in love with this new meta-site full of splendor.

On polyvore, you create an account then you can create endless amounts of dream rooms or dream outfits with products from a variety of stores and major retailers. The images used on polyvore even link back to the site where they are sold. I have found lamps, shoes, jewelry and other sites I did not previously know of. The major reason this site is amazing- is because now I can convince my fiance why I have to have the pink chairs- by showing him the visual.

For the stylish book worms



Books can get messy- especially if your home does not have built-ins or you don't have proper shelving. Fret no more- there are a ton of cute book ends online for very good prices. My current personal favorite is the purple Agate book ends from Jayson Home. The natural look pairs well with any palette- and provides a unique addition to any book shelf. I plan on using these ends to hold my cook books in a corner of my kitchen counter.

Umbrella-ella


Yes- Winter in SF is steadily approaching, which means rain, rain, rain.There are a ton of fun, flirty and functional umbrellas out that will not compromise your style. However there are no cute umbrella stands for the home. I have looked on urban, west elm, CB2, specialty stores and more, only to find cheap plastic stands.


Recently while flipping through my new SF MOMA store mag- I found the most unique umbrella stand I have ever seen- and actually priced under $200. The turquoise blue paired with the coral base- is clever design at best. Suddenly I can not wait for it to rain!
