Category: Hide The Credit Cards

Wowee zowee, there are some great sales online this week.  There’s the 30% off sale at MOO that I already told you about (today’s the last day!).  Tattly, the designy temporary tattoo company, is celebrating its first birthday with 50% off everything in store (use promo code “1YEAROLD”).  I would totally order the birthday party set for a kid’s birthday.

And finally, Chapters Indigo is having a huge online sale (with deals up to 75% off) on paper products, toys, and books.  Seriously, stock up now for fall birthdays.  Or treat yourself to something gorgeous like this half-price botanical stationery set (pictured above) by one of my faves, Rifle Paper Co.  Or these pretty note cards by Kate Spade.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

This sticker for your MacBook is so subtly bad ass.  I love it.

Yep, I can’t wait for throw pillows.  Pretty lame, huh?  Except not so lame, because they’re throw pillows designed and printed by the amazing Avril Loreti. These two are gonna be mine this week.  Ian wishes I had ordered this one instead.  Maybe for Christmas.  If he’s lucky.

Every year, my sister and I seem to scramble to get something together for our Dad for Father’s Day.  He is IMPOSSIBLE to shop for.  We think we have things covered for this year, but if you’re like us and still searching, maybe these Father’s Day gift guides will help:

A Cup of Jo blogger Joanna asked her husband Alex to do a gift guide for her blog.  It’s great!

The fabulous ladies at Admiral Road Design made a Pinterest board with Father’s Day gift ideas.

And the parenting website Babble takes the cake with 10 different Father’s Day gift guides, including guides for a Techie Dad, a New Dad, a Sports Dad, and the all-important “budget” category.

Happy hunting!

I have a lovely Kate Spade rubber case on my iPhone, but since I take it in and out of my back pocket a bajillion times a day, it is getting really loose.  Time for a new case – and probably something a bit more durable.  I’m thinking it’s time for a hard case.

A friend of mine had a custom iPhone case made through GelaSkins, using a photo of her son.  It’s so adorable.

I also really like the Society6 ones that were featured on Cup of Jo, and the NapPage ones that were featured on SwissMiss.

Decisions, decisions. If you have a smart phone, what case do you have?

If this yucky winter/spring weather ever changes, I can’t wait to put away my heavy boots and bust out my classic Toms (remember the ones I bought in Brooklyn in September?).  I was perusing the Toms website to pick out another pair (yep, I love them so much, I’ve decided I need more), and I noticed that Toms is now making ballet flats.  WANT.

I’d go for this pair in light pink linen.  They’d look so pretty with jeans.  And like all Toms shoes, when you purchase a pair, a pair is given to a child in need.

I was at a women’s small business event on Tuesday night, where I met Marnie Consky, owner and designer of Thigh Society.  This gal has the BEST idea – sick of getting “chub rub” (that horrible expression for the chafing that happens on your thighs when you wear skirts and dresses in the summertime), she came up with an undergarment that is not tight and hot like shapewear or bike shorts.  They’re “chic, sleek, lightweight shorts to wear under your skirts, dresses and pants for all-day comfort.”

That’s a picture of Marnie above, from an article about her and her business that ran in the Toronto Star last May.

You can find Thigh Society in a few specialty shops, or just order online.  I am definitely getting a pair (or two) ASAP!
