Happy Halloween everyone! May your costumes survive the elements and your candy be eaten in moderation. Be safe you trick-or-treaters! (Check out Photos by Kymm on Etsy... I love this pumpkin shot!).

FRIDAY - WEAR - SHEI
People are so clever. Who would have EVER thought that polymer clay could turn into something so cool. The bangles, rings, earrings and brooches by Shei are just that.... molded and baked polymer clay. The bangles are the best... a set of 4 runs about $45.

THURSDAY - GREEN - PUBLIQUE LIVING
We all have glass votives sitting in a drawer somewhere. Add a little life to them with these paper votive sleeves. Slip one over your glass (must be in glass) votive and the leaf or honeycomb cutouts will cast a beautiful pattern of candlelight. Each set of 4 sleeves ($16) is made from recycled paper (30% postconsumer fiber). Get them at Greener Grass Design.

TUESDAY - COOK - SYDNEY'S
Trying to pick only one thing to show out of the Syndey's collection is like trying to pick your favorite Halloween candy.... it cannot be done! Sydney Albertini, who studied in Paris and graduated from Parsons, has developed this extraordinary line of products from wallpaper to textiles to ceramics. All are inspired by organic forms, nature and a blend of country living with urban sophistication. Yes, she has managed to cram all of that into a dessert plate. Check it out.... I think I am going to have to add her products to the INSPIRATION section. Absolutely beautiful!

FRIDAY - WEAR - POLKA DOT ROBOT
I am dying to see Where The Wild Things Are and have heard nothing but fantastic reviews.... anyone seen it yet? Anyway, I digress.... I ran across this monster hoodie from Polka Dot Robot and instantly thought of the movie. The movie trailer says "inside all of us is a wild thing." Express your wild thing with one of these hoodies. Moms, it is sure to be a hit at the next kids soccer game....

THURSDAY - GREEN - LOOPT WORKS
Every single item of clothing from Loopt Works is constructed from 100% pre consumer (never worn) excess. That means the denim, lycra, cotton, zippers, buttons and snaps were all going to be thrown away until Loopt Works got their hands on them. Limited editions obviously.... a great concept and, if you ask me, a great skirt!
