Find the urban outfitter in all of us.
Yup, that’s right. Seems to be the craze lately and if you’re like me and live in New York, it’s pretty much a necessity. Onesie pajamas are not only awesome looking, but they are super comfortable and let’s you relive the good ‘ol days when you were a kid. Pajama City has a ton of pajamas. I LOVE IT!
What’s a baby pod, you ask? Well it’s this little sweater / jumpsuit thing that your baby wears! It’s super simple to make and it’s really cute. Plus, you’re baby will look just adorable in this. Thanks Threadbanger for showing us how to make this! Also, if you are concerned with the drawstring around the hood (kids under 5 aren’t supposed to have drawstrings; they’re very dangerous) then just substitute it for elastic!
My boyfriend is a musician and I was thinking, what is something that’s unique and yet not cheesy that I could add to his Valentine’s Day gift? Then I though of a guitar-shaped cookie!! And i did a little research online and bam! Here it is:
If anyone has any other idea, I would love to hear them….. Thanks!
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and for those of you who are super crafty, you’ve probably already nixed the idea of a box o’ chocolates from Walgreens and the stuffed bear that comes with it. Here are some really great and unique ideas that you might enjoy. Also, if you have ideas of your own, feel free the leave them in the comments!
1. Wobbly Heart: This handcrafted (with love) heart and can be used for many various different thing… ornament, decoration, stuff it with scented stuffing for a sweet drawer scent. Thanks to Tangled Thread for this idea and instuctions!
2. Brown Paper Bag Album: Let me warn you first: You’ll need quite some time to make this look as elaborate and intracate as shown in the pictures below, but once you’ve completed it, you’re sure to impress everyone! It’s made out of brown paper bag.. I know, I know – hard to believe, but you better believe it. It also features hidden pockets for more journaling and pictures! Learn how to make it!
3. Oh so sweet Valentines Day Peppermint Patties: What a mouthful….literally. These adorable pink and red peppermint patties make a perfect addition to your Valentines Day gift. The fact that it’s edible and effortless yet looks complicated automatically makes it on my list.
4. Cockscomb Valentine Wreath: Ok, so maybe you’e sick of getting candy, so here’s an alternative way to suprise someone with a wreath that they’ll have for forever! Well… maybe not forever, but at least until next Valentines Day! It’s super easy to make and very sophisticated looking.
5. Pop Up Card!: It’s a nice gesture when you buy someone a card on Valentine’s Day. Take it a step further, well maybe a few steps further and make them a card.. but not just any card, but a pop up card! This little pop-up trick works really well in a scrapbook as well.
6. Doily Envelopes: These cute little envelopes add a delightful touch to just about any card. It gives each card a delicate look and can be made with a variety of different doilies. The nice thing about these is it gives a great contrast to the color of the card inside.
7. Bonbon – Filled Hearts: What more could you ask for on Valentines day than a heart-shaped container filled with bon bons (or any of your favorite candy for that matter)? They make great suprises when hanging from doorknobs, computers, car rear view mirrors or pretty much anywhere you can hang something from.
8. Valentines Day crocheted fortune cookie: Everyone loves fortune cookies, so why not make a bunch for your special friends on Valentines day? They do take a bit of time and if you can’t crochet, well… it’s going to be a bit of a challenge, but it’s damn worth the wait. Add a magnet on the back and Voila! You have a year-round magnet!
9. Beating soapy love heart: What better way to get clean on Valentines day than with a beating soapy love heart? Pick any fragrance to make it unique to your soap, and add a small LED light (minus the magnet) for a glowing, beating effect. Then throw in some glitter and you’re ready to take a shower! (via Instructables)
10. Valentines Day edibles!: Just by browsing the Martha Stewart Valentines day section, you can find tons (and I mean TONS) of edible gifts to make. These are pretty simple, very presentable and fabulous tasting. Click on the picture below for the recipe. Thank’s Martha!

i love skinny jeans. who doesn’t? and from the emails and comments i’ve been getting, so do you!! I found this site that lists places to buy skinny jeans in the area! Check it out and have fun shopping!
I always have huge baggy sweaters and have nothing to do with them. Thankfully, Rob and Corinne featured Compai on their show and they showed us what to do with our old sweater.
I haven’t been shopping at Urban Outfitters lately, and by lately I mean about 2 weeks. Everytime I go back on the site, I find something or more than just one thing that I really love. And this dress is it this time. I like this for now… it’s cold outside, but you slap on a pair of tights, boots and a jacket and you’re good to go. Then in the summertime, you wear the dress by itself with some flats or sandals for a chic yet summery look. The best outfits are ones you can wear year round and make the most of your money!
What’s better than just a regular USB dog? A USB humping dog! It’s hilarious!! Check out this vid!
Back to furnishing your new apt… You can tell that I’m moving huh, and I need to furnish my apt, haha! Check out this sweet lamp!!! See, that’s why I love Urban Outfitters. You get the weirdest yet coolest things and people see it and say, where the heck did you get that? This lamp is so unique, yet really really awesome!
So you’ve found your dream apartment and now all you need to do is furnish it. Well, furnishing is the best part about getting a great apartment! After you get your sofa, coffee table, big screen plasma (hey, we can dream, right?), then all you need are cute and funky decor. I just LOVE these vintage looking posters from Urban Outfitters.com. They look real, yet SO affordable!!! Speaking of sofas, anyone know where I can get cheap sofas in NYC? Thanks!
So many of you are taking my last post literally…. yes I called Nicole Richie fat.. well because, she looks fat. Pregnant or not (which obviously she is, I’m not stupid) she looks fat. Pregnant people = fat people. I mean look at this picture… this is no Victoria’s Secret ad for a bathing suit, it’s more of a story for Parenting Mag and how you’re body ain’t the same as it used to be as a teen. Sorry ladies, I mean we all (well most of us) go through it and we just accept that we get bigger in life. Deal with it. Deal with the fact that you’re not going to look skinny. Maybe you look cute with a belly, but you’re still fat. There. I said it.
I was at Sears the other day and just as I was about to leave, I heard an announcement that they wanted to give all customers a present for the holidays… all we had to do was go to the third floor by electronics and look for the flashing orange light. Well, I was already there, so I waited for the rep to give us our present… and of course it was this stupid eyeglass cleaner. BUT THEN, they demonstrated Mr. Sticky…. and my mom bought one.. a few actually. It’s the BEST lint roller ever. It’s super sticky and picks up anything but it doesn’t have glue so it won’t ruin clothes. You can reuse it over and over by just running it under warm water to clean it. So far, I’ve used it on anything from my couch to sweater to rug and floor. It’s great… works better than a mop and its WAY more convenient. Ok enough from me… see for yourself!
