H2Pro 300 Heat Styling
I love my new H2Pro heat styler! Scored this one recently at a great price on sample sale. I’ve been using it in conjunction with my Victoria’s Secret Smooth Straight & Silky Styling Mist but there are many other great heat protectants out there e.g. Tresemme Heat Tamer. Does not cause damage to hair (just have to be careful handling this styler since it can get pretty hot; follow the instructions), my hair remains well-styled and stick straight for hours in any type of weather, can also do a cute flippy hairdo, makes my hair silky soft and shiny. Obviously with all these great attributes, I’m pretty happy with it =)

File in Style
Oh Joy!‘s file folder in Woodcut Floral just re-ignited my penchant for pretty office supplies. Not all office supplies are blah. Another of my favorites is by Galison. The site of these lovely things brighten my day no matter the mundane tasks ahead.

Le Clic Disc Film Camera
I have happy memories of owning the 1980s Le Clic camera. It was my first ever camera and therefore the specialness of it. Mine was a very pretty bubblegum pink which my dad bought for me as a birthday present (to take on our family trip to California). We were most certainly going to Disneyland and I wanted to capture the highlights, especially the day parades =). I only had a week to familiarize myself with this camera. The pictures it took exceeded my expectations.

Nifty Cutting Boards
I saw these Core Bamboo cutting boards yesterday and wanted to blog about them. Really great for a serious cook who wants a well-equipped kitchen beyond basics or has lots of extra storage space in his/her pantry or basement. I have to pick and choose what’s the most important me. Space is of the essence. I can picture my husband’s folks or aunt owning one of these; they’re fairly serious epicures.

Hair Barrette & Jewelry Organizers
Great organizers/holders from Household Essentials for hair barrette and jewelry storage. The pocket holders protect from dust and prevent tangle with other accessories. The HE organizers can easily be hung in your closet, on your rolling rack, or behind any door using a hook or over the door hanger. They look neat, are awesome for small living spaces, and are very affordable. So worth it; love them!!! Jewelry trees and dishes are another great idea if you have lots of tabletop space (which I don’t have). Besides Amazon, I’m pretty sure another retailer like The Container Store would sell something similar.

Eccolo
As much as I am crazy about candles, I’m also an admirer of paper products, including pretty journals such as this one from Eccolo… Oh, and they also have the most darling Murano paperweights!

Library Desk Viva Terra
While perusing through the new Viva Terra catalog, I saw the most clever desk design… If you’re like me, you have a mini library on your desk too. Mind you, I would never trade-in my stealth bomber of a desk but this library desk design is so pretty and just makes lots of sense…

Limoges
I recently bought a cute limoge to commemorate my sister’s engagement. It was placed into a surprise tote along with a heartfelt card, chocolate truffles, candy hearts, and other little goodies I thought the happy couple would enjoy =)
Even though I’m not a limoge collector, I can still appreciate their beauty and the cheer they bring to their admirers. I would also love to visit Limoges, France someday.

Fairisle Sweater Clocks, Living the Anthropologie Life
Saw these on sale a few days ago on Anthro’s website. They’re really cute. Who would have thought of creating a sweater clock? Obviously a very creative Andrea Williamson did. If you have extra cash to burn and your bare walls are beginning to get to you, keep these in mind.
I’ll take all of them please!
