Paperless Publications

Lonny

I work at a magazine, I subscribe to magazines, I buy magazines off of newsstands, lets just say I LOVE magazines. I must admit, some of them I just look at the pictures and others I read cover to cover. ANYWAY, my new obsession is the fantastic online publications that are popping up all over the place!! They're mostly interior design mags, but the images and articles are so interesting to me! Decorating my apartment has been an evolution and I am always looking for inspiration, these are a great source for me. So here are my top 5 inspiring design magazines that happen to be...online.

Are there any other online magazines that you read?

High Gloss

Matchbook

Stud Lover

One of my bff's from high school has opened her own Etsy shop! Hm, how to describe her, she's uber crafty, crazy, quirky, and stylish! I love her blog Shiny Upside Down Crosses and have no doubt that her Etsy shop will be sold out FAST. Check it out- aren't they the cutest studded turbans ever?? Can't wait to see what she starts creating next... 

HELP!

It's been brought to my attention that my blog is not updating on other people's blogrolls and feeds!! This makes me sad! Does anyone know how to fix it? I've googled and gone on the blogger "help" forum but it's just a bunch of gibberish that I do not understand! 

Does anyone have any experience with this? PLEASE HELP! I really appreciate it!

Hello Lova

Happy Monday everyone! So sorry I've been M.I.A., between traveling for work and family members visiting I haven't had much extra time to blog. Anyway, it's a pretty dreary day in NY but browsing through the LuLu Frost jewelry collection made me smile, ESPECIALLY when I saw this stunning piece of work below. Isn't it out of this world?! It sells for a mere $1,925.00 and is designed with elements from 1860-1960 hence the name, 100 year necklace.

I also got a sneak peak at the Fall 2011 collection and fell in love with everything....It's full of metal tassels, pops of color, rhinestones and layered chains. Don't you just love it? These are some of the pieces I'm already thinking about putting on lust list.

Twice as Nice

I'm completely in love with Matchbook magazine (new issue is up and running BTW) and was THRILLED to see that they featured my FAVORITE stationery company- Sugar Paper. Two best friends started it in 2003 designing simple, feminine and pretty pieces using the classic letterpress printing method. THIS is the kind of company I want to start someday... or they can just hire me, one way or another it'll work out. 

Here's a look at their shop and studio- doesn't it look like a LOVELY place to work?!

Oldies but Goodies

While browsing through Anthropologie last week (where I bought this cute bowl to house my jewelry at the end of the day) I found these classic novels that have been reprinted and bound with embossed canvas. The colors are fantastic, the deisngs are adorable, and I think they'd look great as a set on a bookshelf, don't you? You can buy them here.

Make Me Blush

I've recently come to terms with the fact that I'm just not a high heel kind of gal. From time to time, sure, but not on an everday basis. So- I now need to start encorporating more fashionable flats into my life and I thought I'd start out by looking for some fresh Springy oxfords. While on the hunt I noticed the huge blush tone trend happening and fell in love with all of these.
