TOMS shoes
Are these cool? Do we like these?
Because I think they're kind of cute.
But I'm just checking with you first.
Your opinion is important to me.
VERY important.
Because I want to like them. But only if you like them too.
Let me know what you think!
This is a neat poster for the modern kitchen. It's called Ham and Cheese Hot Pocket by artist Justin Pericone. He's based right here out of Somerville. COOL!
And while I've got your attention, check out his blog too. Good stuff.

Beautiful living with Rubie Green...
Rubie Green is an eco-friendly textile designer that I have the utmost admiration for. Her fabrics are incredibly warm and romantic. Simply gorgeous!
“It’s a barefoot walk in the sand; it’s a lazy afternoon nap, and it’s your first sight of the Mediterranean coast. It’s life at its simplest, and nature in its wordless beauty. Here at Rubie Green, our mission is to dress your surroundings in fabrics that represent vitality, energy, comfort and style, all while maintaining respect to the environment by using only 100% organic cotton. We believe in classic designs that are familiar to every decade, re-vitalized in an eco-friendly manner. We know that natural does not mean boring, and that interiors make a house a home.” -creative philosophy of Rubie Green
My dream is to have my two wing chairs upholstered with this fabric. They would look too good to be true! A luxurious dream.
Holiday Gift Guide 2010: Necklaces for Her...
So I know I've already posted about a necklace idea a few days ago, but recently I've been browsing Etsy for more fun jewlery for holiday gift giving. There are sooo many fun and adorable necklaces out there how will I ever tell about them all. Obviously you can do your own searching, but here are some more necklaces I think are just peachy:

Favorite Blog: Pioneer Woman
Best. Blog. EVER.
This is one of my go-to reads. It's the first blog I visit in the morning and the last one I click on at night. Oh, Pioneer Woman, how you make me laugh with your witty humor, make my stomach rumble with your cooking, and tug at my heartstrings with your love for your children.
Love ya, Ree!
ReSnackIt
Here's a cute and very green idea. Why didn't I think of this?
ReSnackIt , designed by a Mom in search of an earth-friendly sandwich bag, is the perfect way to carry my PB&J to school AND help save the environment. Plus it comes in lots of cool colors/patterns!
If you're one to bring your lunch to work, consider buying one of these!
Sold at most Whole Foods and at the Paper Source too!
Holiday Gift Guide 2010: For HIM
What should you get that special guy in your life?
Here are just a few ideas for the men that you love...
I think they have some great dress shirts at Lands End this year. Having a boyfriend that doesn't like to shop many places but the thrift store, I think one of these would be perfect for him this year- especially with his new job.
This pattern is my favorite, but there are many, many to choose from!
Here is an original idea: A book all about good beer- from the history to popular brewing techniques. "An ultimate reference for beer lovers of all levels" - Wine Enthusiast.
This is a nice gift at a great price! Body scrub, facial moisturizer and shaving cream.
Who wouldn't love a pair of slippers to keep their toes warm? These slippers are sweeeet from Lands' End. You can also find great slipper options at L.L.Bean and Eddie Bauer.
And for those of you who live in Boston- a Phantom Gourmet gift card. He can pick from a long list of restaurants and you can have a great night out to dinner! Win, win!

The Sister Project
I found this new blog, The Sister Project, which is a fun site all about sisters and sisterhoods of all kinds. With three different blogs in one, there is sure to be some interesting reads over at TSP. Check it out!
'A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves—a special kind of double.'
—Toni Morrison
Holiday Gift Guide 2010: Precious Necklaces
Pieces of a Girl is a small jewelry company that I stumbled across today and I have fallen in love. Their pieces (mostly necklaces) are so simple and true they make my whole being smile.
Here are some examples and some of my favorites:
A little on the pricey side, but what a gift!

Happy Thanksgiving!
HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!
We're celebrating right here at my apartment this year, which is really nice and relaxing and I'm thankful for that! I watched the parade this morning in my PJ's and with a hot cup of coffee. Then I set to work making the celery root and apple puree. I taste tested it about an hour ago and it is DELICIOUS! I've been taking spoonfuls here and there when no one is looking. Hopefully there will still be some left for the feast.
I am thankful for oh so many things this year. For my family and friends, my wonderful new job, being able to keep in touch and have great times with the people closest to me, and finally finishing up my masters in just a few short weeks!
I hope you have a super Thanksgiving!
xoxo,
♥aeb.

Holiday Gift Guide 2010: Keurig
I think this would be a totally awesomerific present.
I am still currently using my 12-cup brewer, which is fine, but this Keurig single-cup coffee brewer is just so 2011.
This model (B-40) is only $99 from amazon.com. Not too shabby!!
A sensational gift in my humble opinion.
