Unwedding Ring.

Not to rant or anything, but there’s so much peer pressure these days to tie the knot that I absolutely adore the idea of the Unwedding Ring. Wear it as a couple or as a singleton and make two different social statements.

Disney Dream Portrait Series.

I think Annie Leibovitz is one of – if not the – most talented photographers of the past century. Her work seems to capture moments of emotion like no other. This year Disney Parks are celebrating the Year of a Million Dreams and chose Annie to photograph the Disney Dream Portrait Series depicting famous actors, actresses and athletes as popular Disney characters. Once again Leibovitz has impressed me with the mood and emotion she is capable of creating in any given photograph. Love these and I’m hoping a series will be released at some point for purchase!

Stina Wirsén.

I love the juxtaposition of the harshness of the black lines and the softness of the lush watercolors Stina Wirsén uses in her work. It’s unbelievable the way she mixes realistic, anatomically correct portions of her figures with the unambiguous shapes and color swaths of their garments. Lovely.

Fridge Magnet Bottle Opener.

A super-strong magnet anchors this bottle opener to your refrigerator which then opens bottles with ease. Besides being super cool and functional no one will ever again have to ask “Where’s the bottle opener?!?”, which is always a party foul.

Holiday Cards at Night Owl Paper Goods.

I have two obsessions when it comes to the holidays: colored glass ornaments and finding the perfect Christmas cards to send out. Make that three if you count trying not to kill anyone – family or not – while traveling during this most festive time of year.

Night Owl Paper Goods are close to checking one of those items off of my list. I’m loving their holiday cards and am thrilled that they released a series of wooden cards outside of their everyday collection.
