The Head, More than a Bottle

I don't drink but I have just gone gaga for Crystal Head Vodka. Why? Because it comes in this delicious skull shaped bottle.
I love it when great design is incorporated into what could be such an ordinary thing. Who cares about the alcohol! I just want the bottle! I found this lovely online at Bevmo.com

The Bento Box


I love Bento Boxes. They are such a handy way to carry your yummys around. So I was very delighted to find these colorful ones from Plastica. A fabulous updated version of a traditional Japanese way to pack your meals.

Band of the Week: Eric Hutchinson

OK. So I have been neglecting my band of the week posts. Sorry about that. I guess I just got caught up in the excitement of Halloween. So since my favorite holiday has now come to past for another year I can refocus myself on acquainting you with some of my favorite bands and music groups. So to restart this weekly post I introduce you to Eric Hutchinson. To describe his music I'd have to say he's got sort of an infusion of Jason Mraz and just his own great style. I love his voice and am totally addicted to his song Rock & Roll. Visit Eric's website here to get some more info on his new album which is out now! Oh and why don't you watch his music video for Rock & Roll which I have conveniently placed below!

Pumpkin Way

My whole body is tingling with excitement because Halloween is just a day away. Which means it's time to carve those pumpkins! To help inspire you check out these splendid pumpkin carvings from the master crafting hand of Nathan Wesling.

Looking for a Girlfriend


Once I got past the bad grammar and the idea that this guy might be a desperate creeper I thought it was quite adorable.

A Sketch a Day Keeps the Doctor Away


Well are these daily sketches by Invisible Element not the coolest/silliest/most delightful/the greatest thing you have ever seen? Personally I'm lovin the use of color and subject matter here. I am a sucker for this kind of stuff and the fact that this guy sits down everyday and creates great art. Maybe we should all find something we love and do it daily. Love it!

Photographer Spotlight: Laura Taylor


Laura Taylor is a 20 year old photographer and this gal is probably hands down one of my favorite photographers out there at the moment. I have been following her work for a long time. She just has this almost innocent, childlike way of viewing life and it definitely crosses over into her photographs. She calls her project the Darling Life and every photo she takes makes my jaw drop and my mouth water with envy. She is so good at what she does. I am totally captivated by her stuff. Check out more of Laura's work here and maybe purchase a print or two to cover up those bare white walls I know we all have.
