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.

Linen and Leather Clutch Svelka

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

I Don't Need a Chainsaw

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.

Leah’s Ladies

Girl Crowd Print, $20 There is something so bewitching to me about Brooklyn based Leah Reena Goren’s prints!

Lacey Comfort? Simone Perèle Caressence Bras

We’ve talked supportive comfort before, and pretty underthings too, but rarely do those things really combine. I was up at Bra Smyth in Manhattan a while back, looking for a solid everyday bra that actually fit right. For me, that means a 32D that’s a rather rare size to find at the usual suspects. The(…)
Kutie Kindah Khalidy

I stumbled upon California based Kindah Khilady while trolling the blogs of the amazing Frankie Magazine, and I’m so glad I did! What can I say…her bags and scarves are colorful, unique, and sunny. I want them all! Abstract Art Mini Zipper Clutch, $46 / Blah Blah Blah Mini Zipper Clutch, $46 / LTD Edition(…)
Mike Judge Alert: Silicon Valley

I exclaimed loudly when I saw the Silicon Valley promo before Girls a few weeks ago. Because not only does this new HBO series star HILARIOUS bros like Martin Starr (Freaks and Geeks, duh.), T.J. Miller (the most hilarious part of Our Idiot Brother), Kumail Nanjiani (general lulz), Zach Woods (Gabe from The Office), but(…)
Yogurt! Dairy Free Editions

A few years back I finally admitted to myself that dairy was (for me) undigestible, and started seriously cutting it out of my diet. This was a very sad day. I quickly learned that the number one rule to giving up dairy was to let go of the food group entirely: substitutes and fakes will(…)
Magic Choux and Other Lovelies at Caprices by Sophie

I did not know that I loved ALL things made with choux, but it turns out that it is true. In case you don’t know what choux is, it is a magical kind of dough used to make delightful cream puffs, gougères, eclaires, beignets and so on and so forth. And now I (via a(…)
I Will Eat What Jourdan Dunn Tells Me to Eat.

Jourdan Dunn has an internet cooking show, you guys! For the season three premiere of Well Dunn, she invited fellow models (AND co-stars of Beyonce’s “Yonce” video) – Joan Smalls and Chanel Iman to help her make vegan Thai chili. I’m totally making it because not only does it look/sound delicious, but if these ladies(…)
