i will never stop being a paper nerd. ever since i can remember, shopping for school supplies before a new school year was major event. lisa frank, trapper keeper, you name it, i had it all. so now as a grown-up, i still look for fun things to write on & take some pleasure knowing that even with all this technology nothing beats an old-fashioned hand written note. these pads from 0-check have become my new obsession for their simplicity & sheer cleverness (they all have the funniest little quotes with a touch of quirk) i can’t wait to start scribbling away…

ps…these earrings i snagged up the other day are so cool, i couldn’t resist…

okay so im usually drawn to things that have the “cute” factor. its great when i find things that i need for everyday, but that also put a smile on my face. so the other day, i headed to one of my favorite shops lundeens in culver city ( i can never go in there without buying something!) & found this little guy from the line zuny. needless to say, he’s been my coffee buddy ever since…

i love visiting cb2 for affordable & modern design. (i could spend hours in there) they always have unique pieces that can truly liven up a space. maybe because my apartment walls are gray, i’m always drawn to this palate for bright accents. these items are definitely on my radar…

i am a lover of anything quirky & whimsy, so are kitty cat faces & whiskers on shoes sexy? yes! charlotte’s collection of tempting felines, include stunning leopard prints to vampy platforms. i admire her ability to always include facets of retro & pinup culture in her inventive designs.

Monica is…a sucker for great packaging.

biodegradable, design, first aid kit, help remedies, monicais, packaging

I am a lover of fancy packaging. I love when something that I use everyday looks pretty. It’s sort of shallow, but if it looks special then in a weird sort of way, I feel special. Life is hard enough as it is, and if something simple makes you smile then why not? Right? So, stumbling upon Help was such a fun find! Its a smart & edited company that takes ordinary first aid items and makes them easier to use and carry around. Way better than carrying like 100 things in your purse & if your like me, I tend to have a lot of mishaps at work. Sleek & discreet, the packaging is made from molded paper pulp & it’s bio-degradable! I love this! Wish I had thought of this!
