Shop Alert: Bliss Home on Newbury to Shutter

Sad news. Panami from Bliss Home on Newbury Street just emailed to say that after eight years, she will be re-locating her fab little shop to Marblehead on the North Shore. The last day will be April 24th. In the meantime, wares will be 30% off, so it’s a great time to stock up on any Alessi gadgets you might be coveting.

P.S. Apparently Kitchen Arts is closing too. More on that when the rumor is confirmed.

Just In: New Mod Green Pod Pattern

Mod Green Pod just released a brand new wallpaper pattern called Delight in three yummy colorways:

Butter/Coffee; Water/Peppercorn; Caramel/Licorice.

As always, the paper is vinyl-free and hand-printed using non-toxic inks.

($75/5 yd roll with 27″ width.)

Covet: Metal-Studded Spheres

On my hunt for the practically iconic West Elm zigzag rug for yesterday’s “Get the Look: Chevrons” post, I came across these Metal-Studded Sphere Finials. Apparently they’ve been around for a while, because they’re on sale, but it was my first glimpse. I’m in love. Don’t need curtains, or curtain rods, but maybe I could use them for something else. They’re cheaper than buying the studded boots I so want (and also don’t need).

Olympic Style: Runway to Raceway

It’s been all Olympics, all the time at NBC. Last week I spent quite a bit of time perusing photos of Olympic athletes trying to figure out if mere civilians could acquire high tech skating suits and such. (See: Dress Like an Olympian). As I sifted through, I realized that a lot of the looks were oddly similar to looks  shown on the runways at Fashion Week. So, when I finished the Olympic gear guide, I threw together a photo gallery that’s a bit more up my alley: Runway to Raceway.” I hope you’ll click through; it’s fun.

And, since I just posted about cobalt & black looks, I made a little Olympic fashion montage just for you.
