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.

I Want to Be Seen From Space

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.

Happy BEY Day!!!

It’s a holiday miracle! When I went to bed last night there was no Beyonce album on the horizon… but when I woke up this morning it was BEYONCE DAY! This Queen Bey just went and released a surprise new album (with no pre-promotion!) just after midnight last night. Fourteen songs and SEVENTEEN NEW VIDEOS(…)
Back in the Day: The Rhythm of the Hot Dog

Today, a Simian Mobile Disco song jogged my memory about this old school playground jam. Then, I got to Googling it and found this Sesame Street clip from the ’80s that I totally remember! Notice how these adorable girls take time out of their busy hand-clapping schedule to help the tinier adorable girl learn the(…)
The Most Delicious Beer = Bees in the Trappe

A month or so ago, I attended the awesome Village Voice Brooklyn Pour – an event I highly recommend if you enjoy drinking beer. I tasted lots and lots of delicious beers, ciders and other concoctions throughout the day, but the last taste of the afternoon – Grimm Artisanal Ale‘s Bees in the Trappe(…)
Buddy X: 1992 Female Power Anthem

There is a severe lack of information about “Buddy X” on the internet and I’m here to help change that. Neneh Cherry is still making moves musically – last year, she joined up with Norwegian/Swedish experimental jazz group The Thing to record The Cherry Thing - a stunning, avant-garde collection of covers from artists like MF(…)
The Perfect Everyday Tees

I often find myself SMH at fashion bloggers who are all “Hi/Low is so in! I topped off my $996 Tibi skirt with this reasonably priced $79 white tee, so normal!”. A tshirt should be comfy, flattering, and cost less than $20. That is my mantra…that I just made up. Madewell has the absolute best(…)
Don’t Wake Up Each Morning with Fear in Your Heart? ALARMclock Can Help!

This little box might look cute, but be aware that it potentially contains your own personal vortex of anxiety. This, ladies and gentlemen is the ALARMclock…ALARM being the operative word. If you’re a standard New Yorker (or so I tell myself to feel better), you probably wake each morning thinking about money, health woes, work(…)
The Realness of the Goodfellas Soundtrack

Goodfellas is my favorite movie – and no small part of my favor lies in the absolute genius of the soundtrack. There are few films that have used music to such an artistic advantage – off the top of my head, Boogie Nights, Pulp Fiction, Romeo + Juliet, Casino are a few that have only(…)
