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.

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(…)
Essential Mixtape Alert: Freeway + Girl Talk’s Broken Ankles

SIX TRACKS OF FIRE! I mean, wow. I guess it’s not surprising that Freeway, Girl Talk and a host of guest stars including Waka Flocka Flame and Jadakiss would make something that went so incredibly hard, but still. WHOA. Broken Ankles is incredible. Download it for free on Datpiff! And also definitely watch the video(…)
Acne Studios & Sweatshirt Game

As much as I love living my French Would Do lifestyle, there are times when I veer away, and this season I’m really straying of my usual path of whites-blacks-and-jeans. I’m guessing this depressingly long, frigid, and graaaaay winter has something to do with my change of heart. It’s nice to see the range of(…)
Supermud Is Face Magic!

Of the billions of beauty samples I accumulate, I try millions. And of the millions I try, I have probably actually purchased 10…and that’s being generous. Glamglow SuperMud is one of the winners! Such a winner, in fact, that I had to try it but once to immediately take to Sephora and get my order on.(…)
