Svelka Linen and Wool Playing Card Suite Coasters

I’m a sucker for herringbone, in any color, any fabric, any form. Philadelphia-based Svelka Textiles is cashing in on my patternly obsession. They’re churning clever takes on a menswear classic for everything from cute clutches to eye-popping coasters. Linen is their fabric of choice, hand-made and printed with the signature Svelka herringbone. It’s a fresh, hand-crafted take on factory standard. Worth checking out: the orchid linen & leather clutches and their playing card suite coasters. You’ll never look at herringbone in the same way.

You can view the whole collection on Svelka’s Etsy shop. Their products start at $22.

Tammy Wood

I may lay claim to being a clean freak, but my I strive for chillin-on-a-chaise-lounge-on-the-riviera-sipping-caipirinhas style. When not at home with my photog husband and our satellite eared dog Paco, I'm writing papers and teaching French to the next generation. I watch too many sports, have been known to break it down on the dance floor, bake a mean bread, and train the sh*t out of my stubborn dog.

Hip Hop Spinning Workout of My Dreams with KTX

A few weeks ago I randomly happened upon a youtube video of what looked like the world’s best indoor cycling class and thought “that is the best thing ever but it is happening in a faraway place and therefore I will likely never get to experience it” and was momentarily saddened by that thought.(…)
Sweet “Dreams” From Beyonce

Boots is probably one of the few people who has the opportunity (and NERVE) to write a song that merely FEATURES Beyonce…but, I guess when you play a large part in writing, producing and playing on an album as transcendent as Beyonce, you get these types of privileges. After the critical and commercial success of(…)
This Is Your Brain on GoldieBlox!

GoldieBlox has a mission to show girls that their brains are their most precious resource – and it turns out that they don’t need the Beastie Boys to convey it. This Easter PSA shows your brain on PRINCESS v. your brain on ENGINEERING. And for real, nothing I say here can say more than this(…)
Five Delicious, Citrusy Beers to Welcome Spring!

When it comes to drinking adult beverages, I tend to go through phases. Sometimes wine, sometimes cocktails, but lately it’s been BEER all the way. I’ve had so many delicious ones lately that I can’t stop talking about…and so I will continue to talk about them here! The theme is refreshing, spring-like, citrus! 1. Great(…)
Wild Beasts Somehow Get More Amazing With New Video

I must say – I would not have imagined Wild Beasts making a video like this, but I’m so glad they did. Inspired by Talking Heads, they took to the hills, donned some intense outfits and performed semi-robotic dance moves to Present Tense banger “A Simple Beautiful Truth” and of course, it’s awesome. Also, side(…)
Why Was I Not Invited to Women of Soul at The White House?

When flipping through channels on a rainy Monday night, I did not expect to encounter life-altering greatness. But, that’s exactly what happened when I came across WOMEN OF SOUL: IN PERFORMANCE AT THE WHITE HOUSE – starring Patti Labelle, Janelle Monae, Aretha Franklin, Jill Scott, Ariana Grande and even more! I guess my invite from(…)
Spring Flat Report = Grim

Spring is sooooort of upon us, and so the need for spring footwear is also soooooort of upon us. It is no longer the season where our feet are trapped in their sock and shoe prisons. Be free, feet! However, the problem that I am encountering is a season of wretchedly boring flats. There are(…)
