If you love jewelry and books, well, first of all we should totally be friends, and second of all, you should check out this clever DIY project to combine your two passions in a gorgeous hollowed out book-turned-jewelry box. Crafty gal Jamie walks you through the steps in her patented perky style, and there’s a lot of room for personal touches and creativity. I’ve got a psychology textbook that’s just begging to be filled with bracelets and cocktail rings. If you’re hanging at home this weekend, care to join me for some craft time? [Gurl.com]

I don’t use an umbrella to shield me from the rain (it’s a Portland thing), but I am definitely not averse to using an umbrella to organize my rings. Especially a cute little silver umbrella like this. Adorable and practical? Be still, my soggy heart! [$12, Modcloth]

A pizza box that turns into paper plates. Read More »

As a New Yorker, I consider pizza one of the main staples of my diet. It helps that I can get a slice on almost every corner at any hour of the day. There’s even a pizzeria in spitting distance from my front door. They know me by name. It would only make sense for me to own slice-sized plates to eat my favorite food off of. This set of four triangular stoneware plazzas (that’s the word I just made up for them) will impress the guests at your next pizza party. You can ditch those paper plates, which the grease just soaks through anyway. Serving pizza just got classier. [$40, Uncommon Goods]

Cushion The Blow Of Your Little White Dating Lie

I think the person who made this pillow has been spying on me. For some reason, I seem to attract a lot of men who love the outdoors. Me? Not so much. I don’t like sleeping in a tent. I don’t want to spend more time with bears, bugs and snakes. I don’t want to get used to going to the bathroom behind a tree and wiping with leaves. I refuse. But there have been a few times in the courtship process that I slightly exaggerated how much I would be “into going camping sometime.” Thats BS. I’ll never go camping. My approved outdoorsy activities include short bike rides, picnics in Central Park and tanning at the beach. That’s it. I need to put this pillow on my bed to soften the blow. That way, Bear Grylls will know who he’s really getting into bed with. An indoor girl. Oh, and this pillow is eco friendly, so at least I can keep pretending to be environmentally conscious.

I can’t be the only one whose bathroom looks like an episode of “Hoarders: Beauty Product Edition.” But this stowaway shower curtain from Urban Outfitters features four mesh pockets for all my crap-hound needs: the pockets are big enough for various and sundry makeup, brushes, and hell, even a roll of toilet paper if you’re so inclined. Plus, the curtain is washable cotton, so if any of the gooey goodies explode, it’ll be easy to clean. Rub-a-dub-dub, girl! [$44, Urban Outfitters]

Sometimes I don’t think green gets enough credit for being such a lovely color. Maybe because it’s always busy representing eco-friendly initiatives, or we get so sick of it around St. Patrick’s Day, but really, I think it’s time to give green a chance. With that in mind, here are some home accents in gorgeous shades of green. Check out all the shopping details after the jump! Keep reading »
