Shizukana Sora (Quiet Sky) by Misa Tanaka
Taking second place at the 2009 Takaoka Crafts Competition in Japan, artist Misa Tanaka created the above pieces called Shizukana Sora (Quiet Sky) by fusing porcelain and glass. Don’t you just love the effortless fusion of the two materials?
Taylor Swift, always a delight.
I’ve got to hand it to these three ladies for Zoe-style shutting it down last night at the Grammies. They were, in my humblest of opinions, the standouts of the night, which was hard to do, given Gaga’s attendance.
Olivia Munn, stunning in coral.
Carrie Underwood, glimmering in gold.
Rain, rain, stay awhile.
On the rainiest of days, I prefer to stay indoors with a good book or movie (or, okay, you got me – reruns of The Jersey Shore). But if I have to head out in the rain, I prefer not to get my feet sopping wet. These boots from Pour La Victoire have what it takes for me to stylishly combat the elements. I’m wild about the studded details and its punch of color to brighten gray days.

After reading about Krank Press on T Magazine’s Blog, I was quick to visit the studio’s Etsy shop. Notorious for quirky calendars and off beat stationery, Elinor Nissley cranks out ingenious calendars, stationery, books and bags with her drawings and woodcuts on them.
Krank Press created the most useful item for any chef – the produce calendar! Not only can it be reused yearly but it displays two columns of important information every month; planting recommendations and monthly market produce. Contact Elinor and let her know what area you reside and she will create a calendar indigenous to your area ie New England, New York, Washington DC, Texas, North West, Midwest, Southland, etc.
At $20 a pop, these produce calendars are a no brainer.
