This site takes the hottest runway looks and turns them into […]

  • Easy to Remove Price Stickers, Please!

      One of my biggest peeves when purchasing a product is when the pricing label doesn’t easily peel off.  I know this may sound finicky, but since I like to display my products (because I’m a sucker for great packaging), I always remove their price tags before placing them in the shower or on a […]

  • Colour Your Nails with Crayola

    How I wish these were available when I was a kid! Not that I won’t be wearing these polishes now, but how cool would that have been when you were in elementary school to pull out these mini nail polish goodies from your backpack.

  • Be Haunted by Exitmusic

    Exitmusic’s debut album “Passage” is an album, in my opinion, that’s deserving of the hype. Hailing from Brooklyn (of course!) and fronted by actress Aleksa Palladino and her husband Devon Church, this duo pairs their moody dark vocals with old school electro pop beats. Reminiscent of Slowdive or My Bloody Valentine, this album is bursting […]
