Key to Our Hearts

If you’re looking for somewhere to keep track of all of your holiday shopping and wish lists, look no further than Kaboodle.com. They’re currently featuring this USB drive on their homepage, which is shaped like a key. While it’s probably not a good idea to leave your entire key chain hanging out of your USB port, the key is still one of our faves.
If you’re interested in cupcakes without the calories, FredFlare.com has just what you’re looking for. Fred Flare also has the cutest Holly Golightly sleep mask. Now if only we had a little mailbox to store our perfume like her to spritz on the way out the door.
While we were browsing through some December magazines, we noticed an ad for Dillard’s. Even though their closest store is in Virginia, you can still purchase things from them via text message! We found this dangerous and intriguing. By using the service Shop Text, you can register to receive updates on sales and promotions from some of your favorite shops, as well as make purchases. We registered but didn’t link it with our billing information — it’s just that it’s SO EASY to make a purchase that impulse buys could get to be too much of a problem.
Lastly, blogger Chandra Hayslett caught our eye recently. A former newspaper reporter who is in love with fashion, Chandra describes her love affairs with things like capes from Anthropologie and patterned tights. Chandra describes things in such an accessible way that we’re starting to fall in love too.
TWITTERPOLL: 08/28/09
This week’s TWITTERPOLL was inspired by my post, An Ode to IKEA. It didn’t get many comments, but I was thrilled to see it was a big RT (retweet, for you technical Luddites) in the Tweesphere, and that many other 20-somethings sympathized! After stressing (whining) about the gripes of moving and assembling furniture, I decided to ask what everyone actually likes in their place.
This week we asked:
aaaaaaaaaand all the cool kids said:

Web tricks
Lovely, feminine and still oozing with creativity, the Philly native retailer Anthropologie continues to supply fashions that are a great balance of DIY and couture.
They’ve taken that great attitude to their website and are up to some cool new tricks. Take a gander at the “ADORNED” section. This season’s favorite accessories are not just highlighted in a photo spread. Fufill your voyeurism fetish and see a video loop of models tricked out in florescent eyeshadow and teased manes flaunting Anthro’s latest pieces. It’s beautiful, creepy (the models don’t move!), and captivating and nothing I’ve seen from other retail sites. Check it out.
