We all know that biking, instead of driving, standing instead of sitting et cetera is good for us.
We should be on the move a lot more than we are. But what about all the stuff we need to drag along? And it is not always beer, right?!
Hepp. It’s all taken care of.

Check out these cute coffee/tea cups from Imm Living, a design cooperative based in Toronto, Canada. Their inspiration comes from every-day objects from both the past and the present. This, paired with creativity, produces cute, thought-provoking items.
Like the cup above. And the cups below.
Some cups even have the animal’s tail as a handle. Like this

This little jar with its rubber band holding the lid in place is a small beauty. It comes with six different colors elastic bands so you can choose whichever you fancy.
It was designed in 2008 by Danish designer Louise Campbell and is manufactured by Kähler. The jars are made of bone china and come in three different sizes.
I love the feel of bone china!
Buy your Cammeo at Illum Bolighus or Magasin du Nord in Copenhagen, should you wish to buy it from a store.
Otherwise order it from

I am heading towards Copenhagen and will most definitely pick up the large one. Guess which elastic band I like most; Yup. Yellow it is. Happy color!
It is time to stop getting the caffeine kick from coffee and start getting the daily kick from tea [or at least combine the two]. And while we’re at it; why not do it in style?
Gone are the giant tea mugs (please let them be gone, once and for all) and enter the lovely teacup and saucer. There is something to be said about drinking tea from a cup and saucer. Specially if it is from delicate bone china. And since I have a tendency to like slightly more modern items, the Kilim teacup and saucer designed by Jasper Conran for Wedgwood is a definite match made in heaven.
My favorites here are the red and orange combination. You buy these in a set of two; either orange/red or green/violet. $125 per set from www.wedgwood.com
And while you’re at it; check out the teapot set!
Hoola hoops has nothing to offer anymore. Nothing, nada, nope. Not now when I’ve found these hoops [earrings]. Look at them. And have a look at those tiny Cognac Diamonds hanging in each hoop. Ahhh beauty is in the house.
The 14k gold hoops measure 1” long (incl. the 1.5 carat diamond) and are .7,5” wide.

Just had to show you this picture that I found on Pinterest. Isn’t she adorable?
I love the idea of the suede front paired with textile back and the horse-hair-tassle that makes this pouch extra perfect.
And as much as I love bright colors, I adore this one too
it just has that super-extra flair, don’t you agree?
And if these colors doesn’t do it for you, check out all the other colors here

Let’s do a little gold, shall we?!
A gold plated silver ring with a golden pebble.
These earrings are called Squiggly. It’s cloud spirals on a long chain. Also available with short chain if preferred. Or in silver if that’s your choice of metal. But we are talking gold in this post so gold it is.
I do love a beautiful golden purse. In this case a clutch.
With an orange tassle.
Sigh.

Did you know that Feng Shui believes the metal color of gold represents wealth and luck in business. Used in interior decorating, golden tone will attract financial success and prosperity. Sounds good to me. I’d better go and get me some golden stuff.
Well, I don’t know what to say. Gold, gold everywhere.
In Dubai anything can happen?
Now we’re getting down to business.
Love these Hungry Bowls.
You can drink gold, eat gold, use it for a facial mask, bathe in gold…
Have golden fingers when typing?
And last but not least; we all know what we should have invested in:
That’s right. Gold.
There just might be a reason why gold always have been considered valuable!
By this time of year, I am ready for summer. At least spring. I am so tired of all heavy clothes to wear. Heavy shoes. Mittens. Hats. Scarves. Layers of warm clothes.
Don’t take me wrong, I am really happy that I am fortunate enough to have all this.
But I really, really would like to have something lighter now. And I really, really wouldn’t mind the sun to shine, the green grass to grow…you know…all that jazz.
In the meantime, I just enjoy the sight of these
Don’t you?
