Archives for category: For Fun

As I was browsing the interweb the other day, I came across and compiled a group of items that I kinda, totally, 100% love.  Given that no two objects really fall under the same category, I will say this blanket statement to cover my bases: All of these items are well designed, functional, and unique.  I have spent many a night debating whether or not to purchase a few of them for myself, and I’m sure I will inevitably break down and shell out a little money for them.  But for now, I will be Oprah, these will be my favorite things, and you will be my audience.  (Only difference is if you like something, you’ll have to buy it for yourself.)

This cell phone case is so well designed, I would almost consider giving up my BlackBerry for an iPhone just to have it.

The cassette case is used as a stand for the phone. So clever!!

 

UrbanEars has the most AMAZING headphones, with 29 colors and 4 headphone styles to choose from! LOVE.

 

 

I love the "Babushka" headphones!

DCI makes adorable and affordable earbuds- these 3 are my favorites from their selection.

 

 

 

I love the idea of having a plate not only for your pizza, but shaped perfectly to fit each slice.

Not necessarily the best for drawing with, these colored pencils make for a great accent piece. There's something kinda magical about them, isn't there?

Words can not express how much I love this necklace!

Yellow Owl Workshop hit the nail on the head when they designed this AMAZING color wheel necklace.

Leave it to Anthropologie- these are the most amazing, and adorable necklaces ever! Two thumbs way up.

Once again Anthropologie nailed it; with these stud earrings emulating an old-fashioned bicycle.

 

 

(Update: I just purchased and am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the color wheel necklace, the animal pendant necklace [the elephant], and the bicycle earrings)   =)

Imagine: You’re on the subway.  Maybe your’re heading home after a long day at work, or maybe you’re just trying to get somewhere on time.  You know taking the stairs is better for you, but who are you kidding- the escalator is directly next to them, and you’re either too tired, or too lazy to pass them up.  Lets face it.  In the never-ending Stairs vs. Escalator battle, the escalator usually wins.  But not anymore.

Brought to us by Volkswagon, The Fun Theory presents us with this idea: Fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviors; be it for themselves, the environment, or something entirely different.  All that matters, is that it’s change for the better.

Please have a look around their site, and enjoy their inventive ideas as much as I have.
