I would like a…new camera.

I seriously miss taking pictures. When I actually had a respectable camera (back in the days when we had film), I used to take so many photos that I would spend most of money purchasing & developing film. Now that digital has taken over, I’m longing for a nifty camera that can roll with me through my adventures (mostly food). I found some that are on my wish list…love the “vintage” look shutter bugs. Umm maybe I have a thing for Leica’s?

So, I discovered Design*Sponge not too long ago, but I can honestly say I’m hooked! I love the overall look of the site perhaps because it reminds me of the now defunct Domino Magazine & Blueprint. It has the best ideas, great uses of vintage or found items & the best part is that I get a fix just about everyday! Although, I still flip through my old magazines, this site keeps me inspired & hopeful about making the place you live in just a lot more livable. Here are some of my favorite shots… funroom modern orangetable Wishlist* I happened to find this bath mat & these gorgeous towels on Anthro…

I have been listening to the new Tegan & Sara album Sainthood nonstop for two weeks straight & can’t get enough! Supremely melodic & extremely addicting, it’s easily my new favorite album right now. Check out a performance of them on Conan…

The other day, I stopped at Metropark (it had turned into the mecca for douchebag ed hardy clothing, ugg) & was shocked to find that there a few amazing pieces & priced well under budget! I loved this jacket in particular (a steal at under 200 bucks!)…& found some notable selections that would look great with it….covet! covet! covet!

Monica is…a sucker for great 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!
