I found myself stranded in Issaquah the other day and did the only sane thing a girl could do to pass the time: eat and shop. I was lured into the cutest boutique, Daisy, in Gilman Village when I saw the most awesome little bag hanging chicly off a mannequin in the window. Now I can’t speak for you [...]

Now I ask you, how truly SWEET is this?!? This arrived in my Facebook account today from a friend with a note which simply read "new purse for Vicki". Designed to work with the bladder of boxed wine (now now, don't get all hoity-toity on me now, there are some fairly decent boxed wines out there these days), you simply take the wine bag out of the box and slide it into the Wine Coat.

I read something the other day I thought was worth sharing. It recommended we change our password(s) to something very personal, yet inspirational.

The other evening I hot-footed it over the bridge to Seattle's south of downtown's district to catch some live music. It got me thinking about all of the great places to catch live music in these parts that aren't necessarily on my radar. I decided to build a refresher list based on recent new finds, places I've forgotten about and/or peer feedback.

Like any design-oholic worth their salt, I’m constantly looking for new products that make me sit up and take notice. An innovative wall covering? Fabulous! A new twist on on traditional design? Great! But my most recent discovery knocks it out of the park.

Today’s beauty beat: DEJAVU FIBERWIG 3D Mascara. If you know me, you know I’m a dyed-in-the-wool fan of blinc mascara. BUT, there’s always room to entertain a new crush in my book.
