Ooh-La-La! 8/8/05 6:18 pm

Miquelrius Handbags

I am in love with these adorable bags from Miquelrius Jordi Labanda! The whimsical and sassy illustrations totally caught my eye, and they also remind me of the wonderful illustration on Stila Cosmetics (which are totally irresistable). It took a while to decide which ones I love. The Paris Small Handbag has “ooh-la-la” written all over it, and the Bla Handbag is just too cute, with its orange strap and illustration of two gals chatting. Just perfect!!

Dot Skimmers 7/11/05 3:18 pm

Dot Skimmer from Urban OutfittersI love classy styles with a little twist, and these Dot Skimmers by BC Footwear are just so perfect. It has a nice round toe, sweet little scallped edges, contrasting topstitching, a little accenting bow, and polka dots in complimentary colors. Now who can resist polka dots!

The Dot Skimmers come in three colors: fuschia for those who love bright colors, black for the mod-style girls, and praline for the classy look (pictured). They will definitely add a little bit of twee to a pair of jeans or a vintage a-line skirt.

Cooking with Heart 7/2/05 8:49 pm

Le Creuset 2-Quart Heart CasseroleWhen it comes to something as basic and everyday as a casserole pot, not too many people would use the word “cute” to describe it. Well, French kitchenware maker Le Creuset, famous for their heavy, cast-iron enamel-coated cookware, brings quality and cuteness together in this adorable 2-Quart heart-shaped casserole. The cast-iron pot will ensure even heat distribution, the enameled exterior makes it easy to clean up, and the red heart-shaped pot will bring a big smile to your sweetheart’s lips.

I *heart* Maryjanes 6/13/05 10:39 pm

Sandra from John FluevogI am a big fan of maryjane shoes and am always on a search for THE perfect pair. It has to be chic and sweet, but not TOO cute or childish. I have to say that these Sandra maryjanes from John Fluevog come pretty close. It is just the right height, made with quality material, and includes lovely details such as topstitching, great use of contrasting colors and a silver buckle. And with such a funky design and rich, gorgeous shades of orange, these are definitely not your average, boring goodie two shoes.

Stila Lip Rouge 6/5/05 2:44 pm

Stila Lip RougeI am a big fan of Stila Cosmetics, not only because of the nice packaging but also because of their great products. One product I cannot live without is the Stila Lip Rouge. It adds just a tint of natural color and glow to your lips without making it feel heavy or dry, with no flaking or caking. The Lip Rouge is pen-shaped and has a sculpted nib, which is designed to make lining and filling in with precision. I love it so much, I have the Lip Rouge in several colors. Give it a try and I bet you will too.

Work shoes CAN be cute! 6/3/05 11:23 am

Kecia by John Fluevog at Zappos.comIf you work in an office like I do, you must know how difficult it is to find business-casual shoes that are cute. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon these adorable Kecia slides by John Fluevog at Zappos.com. The black leather uppers have cream-colored trim, contrasting topstitching and a sweet little bow on the side. I can wear them with a pair of trousers or pencil skirt for work, and on the weekends, wear them with a pair of funky stripey tights. Check out the cool design of the rubber sole, too. It’s cute, stylish, comfortable, and definitely not your everyday boring office shoes.

Yummy Sushi-nery 5/25/05 12:52 am

Sushi-nery: Mix and Match StationeryIn our age of e-This and i-That, the art of letter writing is truly a lost art. I have fond memories of going to the local bookstore and staying in the stationery aisle forever, admiring the beautifully printed quality paper and wishing I would be able to afford them all. I remember saving my favorite stationery for “special” occasions and using my best pen to write letters to dear friends.

I was quite happy when I stumbled upon Sushi-nery: Mix and Match Stationery while surfing on Amazon.com. The writing paper and envelopes are printed with pastel-colored sushi and sashimi. How adorable is that?! Amazon also has other Mix and Match sets available, but this one is by far my absolute favorite. Time to dust off my favorite pen!

Polka dots and stripes! 5/16/05 10:16 pm

Dotty Belt from Delias

Delias Dotty Belt is just the perfect little item to add a bit of “pop” to a pair of shorts and little tanktop. Made with grosgrain ribbon and D rings, it is a classy casual belt gone bright and whimsical. Reversible from rainbow multi-stripes to bright orange with white polka dots, it’s a must-have for the summer.

Dot Dot Dot 5/12/05 8:06 pm

Dot Dot Dot barware from Crate and BarrelCrate and Barrel is one if my favorite places to shop for houseware. Unlike other nationwide houseware chain stores, Crate and Barrel designs are not only durable, but whimsical and eye-catching. This summer, the new Dot Dot Dot acrylic drinkware have totally caught my attention. With their rich bright colors and simple lines, these tumblers are a pleasure to use and behold. At only $2.95 a tumbler, you can get several of each color and get a ton of compliments from all your summer party guests.

Alisa skimmers by NaNa 5/10/05 9:13 pm

Alisa skimmer by Na NaI am on a green kick lately. Anything lime, mint, celadon has been catching my attention. I found these adorable Alisa skimmers by NaNa while surfing Zappos.com one day!

Some description from the site:
• An adorable skimmer with cute floral detail on vamp.
• Leather upper with punch-cut detailing along trim.
• Rubber sole for comfortable wear.

It would look so sweet with a vintage dress or a pair of jeans or capris. What a perfect pair of shoes for spring!
