You get extra storage and somehow, there is a very nice feeling you get with flowers on your table while you’re working. It’s called the Ditmar lift-top storage coffee table, made of wood framed in a steel tub, and it’s light brown color adds to the overall feeling of, well, lightness. It’s easy to assemble, and is a discreet way to add function to your living room without being too obvious. Great space saver. For more info, go here.
I fell in love with the table above, for sentimental reasons. It is exactly like a table my mom used to have, only the top is marble. I’m thinking, it looks surprisingly fine with a nice, solid block of natural wood, standing on a tubular steel frame with a dark bronze hue. The table was made in Indonesia, but is sold at Crate and Barrel.

If you have extra conditioner that you don’t use, avoid the trash bin. Try using it to shave your legs. It’s upcycling, and you will have nice, smooth legs.
Amanda San ft has perhaps got the most comprehensive selection of boho wear – clothes, accessories, furniture et. al. And while we loved her collection, we like her photo best. She embodies boho, which could be why we prefer her personal photo to that of professional models going bo. It’s not a lifestyle, it’s a fashion choice that speaks about who you are. For the total collection of boho, visit Amanda’s blog here.
Steven Tyler once said, “It’s expensive to look this poor.” The same could be said of going boho, especially if your brand is Coachella. But Kate Bosworth wears it very well. With boyfriend Michael Polish she shows up in a beautiful black and grey printed mini dress, a waist length big metal belt long bangles, and the oversized sunglasses. But the boots and the large jacket add the perfect finishing touch to her boho look. It all seems carelessly put together, but it is definitely not cheap. For more Coachella boho fashion go here.
Rachel Zoe may be a stylist for the stars, but she is not afraid to create her own signature look. While flare pants aren’t in vogue, she makes it look good. And her boho look has brought the bo to the front of the row. Big sunglasses, platforms and a fabulous scarf that falls perfectly are paired well with her necklace look great with her leather cuffs. Of course, you can always go for a more affordable Zoe and you’ll see some ways to do it, here.
Headbands are a great accessory for la vie boheme, aka boho. There are a number of styles to choose from. What’s important is that your hair falls well with your headband. It has to be tousled, but just slightly so. A kind of organized chaos, if you will, and very simple, natural and fresh. The nice thing about boho hair is that it is so fuss free. The more imperfect, the better it looks. Perfection is boring, anyway. For more boho go here.
Miley Cyrus fearlessly makes Boho rock. We love the hipster, cut-off, torn dungarees with the pockets hanging out; and the waist length white shirt with dangling bangles on front. The bag with heavy studs and Aztec designs go well with the fringe boots. The touch of green on her hair, the black dangling earrings – and do we see a feather in her hair? It all works with her underplayed but fabulous bracelets. Wanna see more Boho? Go here.
We love Tempest for having the most expressive dog face we have ever known (and we follow hundreds of dog blogs). Tempest’s owners seem to know that he has modeling skills, and they took it upon themselves to photograph Tempest every week from the time he was 9 weeks old up to week 29. In each photo Tempest is in the same setting, sitting in the same position. But that lovable face has 1001 different facial expressions and just the sight of these will make you laugh. Take a look here.
Imagine a museum that showed only photos of dogs. That would be pretty amazing, we think. And, it would give dogs a chance to see how famous they are. At Dog Gallery you are given the impression that a dog museum is going on. Actually, it was the result of playing with a smartphone. But it does make you think – Why not?
