Now that we’re T-minus two days till the start of the holiday season, it’s totally acceptable to admit you’re thinking about sending holiday cards this year. Sure, the cost of postage is astronomical (Hey, Obama how about working on that while you’re fixing America, huh?) but it seems way cheaper than shipping Whitman’s Samplers across [...]

Totally digging this rug from Flor. Available by the square foot ($9.29/sq. ft.) or as a six-tile area rug ($149.99), I can picture this short, cropped velvet rug under a desk chair for a little escapism during a long day staring at the computer screen.

This video brings inside the creepy, non-crawly (see what I did there?) world of designer fake babies. Is this really the fashion in England or is it like a Bush thing where you’re like, “No no no, we’re not all like this!”

Women carry these babies around to the stores and whathaveyou, smiling and taking compliments [...]

The December/January issue of Bust just arrived, and among a few new good things–we’ve been indeed digging Sarah Haskins’ “Target: Women” episodes (though Jenny Lewis on the cover? Nothing new there, huh? And I swear I’ve read that Margaret Cho quote about how she got started a zillion times…) the most startling section was a [...]

Cooking, like most endeavors, is generally a time versus money situation. Got time? Cook from scratch, cause it’s beautiful and healthy and cheaper! Got money but [...]

This is not a costume. This is a kit to completely transform your beloved pug or beagle from a cute canine to the ultimate unicorn. It includes screw-in horn, hoof attachments, medical grade glue, peroxide, mane fur, a tail and a handful of glitter! Just peroxide the color out of your dogs hair and attach [...]

Sometimes when shopping, I just like something because it’s pretty. This was the case with dgordon’s work. I think this plate is gorgeous and though it’s listed under “soap dish,” I’d probably use it in a less-likely-to-get-messed-up setting. Available for $20. (Bonus: dgordon insures all pieces over $15 to protect buyers against shipping damage.)

Tonight marks the start of Top Chef season five. While this year’s judging panel will lack the lovable and charming Ted Allen, the promise of Stephen Starr (Restaurant Wars + Stephen Starr = total fangasm) will ease our food porn pain. Tune in to Bravo at 10 p.m.
