Published in Style | On December 25th, 2011

harness-bag-covert

Whenever I travel, one of my biggest issues is how to pack the important things I need so they are easily accessible and at the same time safe and comfortable to carry around. This is especially true when I need to pack a carry-on bag for flying or when I know that I will be walking around a lot. In both cases I need to carry with me all my valuable documents (passports, visa etc), a camera, iPhone and maybe an iPad, guides and other specific gear and equipment, depending if it’s a hiking trip or sightseeing in a bustling crowded city.

The Civilian Covert Harness Bag is a great alternative to all the bags I have been using till now. It is a backpack/pouch-belt/holster/harness rolled into one so it’s a great solution for all the digital gadgets and other stuff I need to carry.

Caldera ashtray: smoking hot

Published in Style | On October 30th, 2011

Even though smoking is not considered “fashionable” or “politically correct”, I still like the romantic concept of smoke-filled salons of the roaring 20’s, filled with authors and artists drinking excessively, smoking and dancing the Charleston.
Though its design is definitely more modern, the Caldera ashtray caught my eye because I could see it fitting in nicely in any party situation – bar, dining room or lawn. Though I wouldn’t recommend smoking to anyone, if you do have a need for an ashtray, at least use the Caldera and put your butts out with style.

Like most people I know, I am very comfortable using all the electronic gadgets out there and they have definitely improved my life.

Still, I always carry with me a sketch book and a pencil.

Wordless: doesn’t leave you at a loss for words

Published in Style | On August 18th, 2011

wrapping-paper-wordless

Too many times I’ve found myself in this situation: I’ m rushing out of work at the last minute to get a gift for a birthday party, dinner party or other festive occasion that I completely forgot about. Luckily I can usually get away with a nice bottle of wine or pampering toiletries but then I get home and I realize I also need to wrap them.

Since the local drugstore wrapping paper won’t do (telltale sign…) and the only available rolls around the house have a Christmassy or baby-shower theme I resort to “home-made” (plain white paper which I decorate with glitter glue or stickers from my girls’ stash). While this is ultra personalized (“it’s not a bug it’s a feature…”) it’s exhausting and then I also need to be creative and add a home-made card to go with it. It seems that the lack of “universal” wrapping paper triggered the idea of the “wordless” wrapping paper.
