Daily Obsesh – Porcelain Milk Jug

imageWhat do you want with a porcelain milk jug, you ask? Well, because to start – it’s fancy. And for any coffee or tea drinker, it’s a great way to hold your milk or creamer. Or if you’re an avid cereal connoisseur (hey, we’re not judging – Frosted Mini-Wheats rule our world), then it’s a nice accessory to go along with your cereal bowl and morning appetite. Or … okay, are we stretching? Eh. Use it to hold milk, water, flowers … it doesn’t really matter. It’s just a cool design for your home or office and we like it. ‘Nuff said.

The SHG – Get Snapped For Fashion Week!

imageIt’s a Fashion Week frenzy in New York right now and while we love seeing what new collections are parading their ways down the runway, it’s just as interesting to see what Fashion Week go-ers are wearing to these shows.


We managed to snap a few of our favorite looks from in between shows and on the streets, courtesy of our own Contributing Editor, Geri Hirsch of the popular blog, Because I’m Addicted. Take a look at our tips on how to dress to impress while trekking through city blocks in the extreme New York weather, then take a look at the slideshow to see our fave picks to get the looks for yourself!



The Fur Coat – It’s cold in NY, but there’s no need to sacrifice luxury for warmth! A thick fur coat (the make great faux-fur pieces these day as well!) is a great way to add decadence to any ensemble while keeping you toasty!



The Statement Jacket – Bold shoulders, edgy style details, crazy colors, unique materials. These are all in style for the fashionably daring and a unique but flattering jacket makes for the perfect statement piece on chilly days!



The Crazy Hot Shoe – It’s Fashion Week! And while a pair of flats may be more practical, some killer heels are a must! Really can’t walk in stilettos all day? Roll up a pair of flats into your purse, but remember that a hot pair of heels amps up any outfit and adds instant fashion cred. Look for cool color-blocking, architectural shapes and anything that will make you stop and say ‘Wow!’.



The Perfect Bag – When it comes to Fashion Week, there’s usually a lot of running around involved and long hours out and about. A roomy bag that’s also a show-stopper is a must. Look for larger totes and satchels from your favorite designers; it’ll be well worth the investment! Anything from a luxurious leather bag to a leopard print affair works, just go with you’re own preference!

Daily Obsesh – Akawelle Necklace

imageGive someone the gift of LIFE this Valentine’s Day and any day with the Akawelle necklace made from spent bullet casings. Sounds a bit strange to you? Trust us! This couldn€™t be a better symbol of love!



The story starts in the refugee camps of Ghana where thousands of Liberians fled to during the civil war. Lovetta Conto was one of those refugees. Here she was approached by the Strongheart Fellowship Program and from that moment her dream of being a designer started looking more like a reality.


Lovetta created the Akawelle necklace, meaning ‘also known as LOVE’. It features two pendants, a leaf inscribed with the word LIFE, made from the bullet casings that litter the streets of Liberia, and a single bead which is the bottom of the bullet shell. This necklace represents the idea that there is the promise of life even through strife and hardship. Proceeds help to aid the Strongheart House where children from warring countries come for a chance at a better life.


What could possibly be more romantic than giving someone a chance at a better life?

Shoe of the Week – Seychelles Hawk Wedge

imageIf we could only have one pair of shoes this season, we would cry and mourn the loss of our beloved collection of heels, boots and flats, but ultimately, we would probably settle on this lovely pair of wedges.


The soft grey leather is the perfect color to complement any outfit, while the wedge heel makes them easy to walk in. And did we mention how cute they are? The lace-up detail, the open toe – it’s like our favorite sandals and booties had babies together. And now that the price is just under $100? We’re in love.


Of course, that would be IF we actually had to choose just one pair of shoes. But obviously, we can’t live like that.
