"Fuwapica is high-tech furniture illuminating your favorite colorcaused by the pressure produced by you touching or sitting on it."Okay, so this has to be one of the coolest chairs I have ever seen. I wonder how bright it would glow if I sat on it. Could you get it to blink if you jumped on it? Imagine how sweet musical chairs would be with glowing seats like this one.
Whoa, but what if you got up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water, and you walk into the room and the seat is glowing but no one is there. Spooky. And of course I WOULD think of something so bizarre. Haha.

This one is for you Finnie.For all you sticker freaks, Carrie Finnie included, I just want you to know that I too am a little bit obsessed with stickers.
Print & Pattern recently wrote an entry on these adorable travel stickers. And I absolutely love them. Except she got them from a store in the UK called Paperchase and you can't order online from them unless you live over there. =o/ Rats!
**stomps feet**
Still I think they are very Gidget looking and I absolutely adore them!

When my parents first started dating my Dad gave my Mom a necklace with a single diamond on it when things started to get more serious.Mom's not much for jewelry and neither am I, but both of us would never turn down a diamond. Haha. I love shiny objects, so add some sparkles and I'm completely ga-ga.
Many moons ago when I graduated high school my parents threw me a nice little graduation party. While rummaging around outside and preparing for extra guests my Mom lost the diamond out of her engagement ring. It was devastating. Everyone banned together throughout the day and into the evening crawling around in the grass in hopes to find the stone. It didn't happen.
In comes the diamond necklace again. Dad found the necklace, had the diamond removed and put into my Mom's ring without her even knowing. That diamond from their early love now means more than ever. And well, he upgraded to six prongs instead of four. =o)
Moral of the story is sometimes it doesn't hurt to scoop up loose diamonds for a necklace or earrings. You never know when they may just be your saving grace. And for those of you who wouldn't know the first thing about diamonds, then you need to make sure you find a jeweler who wants to help. Whiteflash.com goes so far as to provide in-depth diamond education to help facilitate and guide you through your decision making process. Sounds like the right way to go!

One of my favorite online clothing stores is BabygirlBoutique.Com. They h ave bohemian clothing, rockabilly clothing and vintage styles. I don't know where they find all these clothes to sell, but I have got to get in on their secrets.Not that I have any free money right now, but if I did...this is what I would get. A medium Dr. Seuss Tee - "Prosciutto e Uova Verdi" (Green Eggs & Ham) Tee Shirt with Inside Screen Print by Doe.
It is just too perfect!

Peter Belisis says, "I believe accessories are the start, not the finish of the design-inspired lookâwith the right accessories, even average garments are transformed into winning style."
Belisi hosts a website called "Sharp By Design" and it discusses men's fashion in great detail. (Plus the design of the website is very chique.)
You can check out the Belisi Fashionable Photos on Flickr. They have models dresses in their fashions, but they also have complete diagrams on how to properly tie a neck tie or fold square pockets. So as a fashion designer you can see the visual finished designs in addition to step-by-step pages on how they came together.
For the gals who wish for glam, there is "The Divas Dreams." (Another excellently designed website.) Right now you can read about selecting the right colors per season. Which is something I always need help with, so I'm thrilled!
To top it all off they give a portion of every purchase, no matter how large or small, to the cause of your choice. There is a program called "Luxury with Meaning" which allows each customer to choose a cause. The company gives a minimum of 10% of their pre-tax profits to help those in need.
Belisi is simply incredible.

Ebay is a beautiful place, especially when it brings you across your favorite things. I love vintage clothing, specifically pin-up, rockabilly clothing from the 50s and 60s. I would love to learn how to sew because then I can buy all those old patterns for wrap dresses and such, but alas, I'm horrible with a needle and thread.Lucitebox Vintage makes things a little bit easier for gals like me.
In the photo is a dress from the Paul Parnes label and I think it is absolutely adorable. Unfortunately it has already been sold, but see there is hope! Because Lucitebox is updated frequently with new outfits and accessories.
The online boutique is run by Holly Rhode. She finds things, inspects them and lists them on eBay while also writing about them on her blog. So you can find out more about the label and style of clothing.
Very cool, and definitely bookmark worthy.

Meander through the designs by color, theme or purpose and you're bound to stumble upon some sweet, funky finds. Kindspin Design prides themselves on "Funky One-Of-A-Kind Art" and I am in agreement. The designs can be found on furniture, jewelry, light switch covers and other artsy portals.
There are so many different bright, vibrant works of art here that you'll definitely find something that seems personalized just for you. It's really incredible!
You can buy the pieces at Yikes! Gallery in New Hampshire if you're up that way, or at Stone Fish or e-mail the designer directly.
