I realize that I recently posted about a modern dog bed, and I swear I’m not trying to become a dog-centric writer, but I just had to share my latest obsession, which consequently, happens to be about dogs. I’ve been looking for a tasteful leather collar for our new pup and keep coming up short, everything either looks too cheap, too expensive, or too flashy. Is it really that impossible to make a nicely designed dog collar that’s not adorned with Vineyard Vines-like ribbon ... Read Full Story

Last night marked the debut of French artist Nicolas Pol’s first ever US exhibition, entitled The Martus Maw, at the old meat market on Essex street in New York and quite the debut it was, with guests like designer Jean Paul Gaultier (at right), French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld (at right), and Mickey Boardman and Kim Hastreiter from Paper Magazine showing up. It should also be noted that Carine showed up in a Lady Gaga-inspired pantless and black lace number that was disturbingly flatteri... Read Full Story

Meet your newest obsession — litl. It’s an intuitive Webbook designed for Internet surfing, and it weighs just three pounds. You can use the litl in two ways — laptop mode (self-explanatory) or easel style, which gets a little more clever because instead of navigating with a trackpad or keyboard, you use a wheel (designed to simulate an old TV dial) or a remote to browse through content. All of litl’s data is stored in the cloud — there’s no hard drive (pa... Read Full Story

My preferred aesthetic is to interpret the traditional in a fresh and modern way, which is why this Delft porcelain set by lovegroove & repucci probably caught my eye. Using centuries-old, iconic blue and white Dutch pottery, the designers swapped the customary motifs with an atypical choice — graffiti. So what do you think? Clever or crass?

This year instead of dressing up ourselves, we opted to dress up the dog — it’s more fun anyway. And so, on Saturday, Dollar attended his first dachshund meet-up — Happy Hallowiener — on the Boston Common dressed as a skunk. There were more than 100 wiener dogs signed up for the costumed event, and what a sight it was!! Here are some great pictures that Ryan took at the meet-up. Enjoy! Pepe Le Pew? This dude was my favorite — flap, flap, flap . . . The anarchist/... Read Full Story
