maybe allposters.com isn’t that bad
I always thought AllPosters.com was kind of just for buying that “Hang in There” poster with the cat, or a glow in the dark Bob Marley poster, but turns out they have some cute shit, like the book posters I posted about recently and these adorable guitar wall decals:
And I kind of like this New York set:
New movie you must see
I can’t figure out when this movie is coming to theaters. But…I need to see it.
Overdue
It feels like years since I’ve posted on CWL, so I’m going to make up for it now.
First, let’s look at this kitchen: great color and hardware, no? I think it’s cute.
Weeeeeeeeeeeee!
Creepy or awesome? You decide.
Candles that are ELECTRIFYINGLY cool
Oh I’m hilarious. Check out that awesome headline.
Anyway, these are candlesticks. But they look like plugs. Best.

Need a new rug? Meow you don’t!
A few of us here at CWL have moved or moved into new apartments recently, and I for one have been on the hunt for a new living room rug. Well, I should say that I WAS on the hunt until I found this one:
I want to be burried in the middle of this circle
It looks so peaceful.
This reminds me of when I was a little girl and I used to arrange all my My Little Ponies in a circle around me. And if I was feeling particularly amitious, I’d use my troll dolls, too.
Anyway, this artist (Brooke Inman) uses colored pencils, photographs, markers and other shit to do this. I can just imagine Emily watching me do something like this and saying “You’re stressing me out!”
Your vote required – which bathing suit is more likely to appear in your nightmares?
So my sister and I had a race tonight to find the world’s ugliest bathing suit. Here are the three that I think are the absolute worst. Please vote on which one you believe to be most unflattering.
Option A
From Victoria’s Secret for $164 (I shit you not)
Option B
Also from Vicky’s, but amazinly on sale for $34 (they’re practically giving them away…gee, I guess NOBODY WANTED TO BUY IT)
Option C
From Delias for $29.50
Oh man, Barbie + JONATHAN ADLER = MY dream house
So Jonathan Adler designed a real Barbie Dream House in honor of her 50th birthday. And. It’s. Awesome. Photos below from LAist.
LOVE those chairs. More amazing photos here
Weird. I don’t get it. Why?
I think the couch dress has already been posted. But why would people pay actual money for this.
what tattoo should nadia (my roommate) get on her arm?
i’m putting this question out to the blogosphere…
A.
B.
C.
Circle chair reminds me of that Yo Mamma joke
When yo mamma sits around the house, she sits AROUND THE HOUSE
But books
The video is cool, and the song is growing on me
It’s called “Her Morning Elegance” by Oren Lavie. I thought the song was annoying at first, but it grew on me.
Dan loves wicker, and I love stripes
…which might lead you to believe that these seats would be something we like. Personally, I think they’re a little gross. Dan? Care to weigh in?
They are sold here
This is really the most popular post on Videogum of 2008?
It’s cool, I guess, and catchy, but seriously? Better than the roundup of cat videos??
also, what the fuck is alice in wonderland saying?
You might assume I love this
But actually, I think it’s disgusting:
The jury is still out on this one though:
new years headwear planning
i don’t know what ill be doing for new years yet but im already planning an outfit. i was visiting the new anthropologie store in my hometown mall and spied this pretty little headband. it’s a bit expensive but i think i can pull it off (plus i got an anthropologie gift certificate for xmas). what do you all think? insert quiz
im obviously in fashion mode.
i’m also taking outfit suggestions…
Color of 2009
Thanks Hannah for notifying me. And “get used to seeing yellow in places you’re not used to seeing it.”
yeah, i’m into that band too…
…and i love the way you don’t comb your hair.
mwhahaha
wow- creepy commercial
i think this was an ad once…for what, i’m not sure.
I don’t get it either, Tim.
People magazine calls it Katie’s chic streak, but I agree with Tim Gunn. The baggy rolled up pants are weird. Cute haircut though. Want.
I finsihed the Twilight Saga
I finished them. I finished all of the books in the Twilight Saga. I don’t know how to feel. I no longer look forward to my commute. What will I read on the subway now? Sigh.
I don’t get it
Nora’s post made me think of how J Crew is selling glasses now. $325 and then you still have to fill your prescripton. I thought it was weird.
Lame alert
Or maybe not. Thoughts? The NY Times does like to make up trends (they said antlers were going to be the new skull and crossbones…that so didn’t happen).
Like the song, not the video- thoughts?
I saw Yelle play last winter and I think she is adorable. I think this song is great but not so certain how I feel about the video…and are her outfits McDonald’s themed? I can’t tell.
Snoop Bolly Dog
Yo, what up. This Big Snoop Dogg. Represent the Punjabi. Aye ya, hit em with this
Snoop Dog makes his Bollywood debut in a movie called Singh is Kinng. I’m going to netflix the crap out of this movie- it sounds amazing. From BBC…
Fusing hip hop and bhangra, Dogg appears in the film with leading Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, singing the eponymous title track.The song has already made it to the top of the Bollywood music charts and is a hit at Indian nightclubs.
Does anyone think I can pull off Kholmes’ haircut in this picture?
I really like it and yes, it’s also a great excuse to post this adorable picture of Suri, whom you all know is the most freakishly adorable child in the universe.
But seriously, Katie’s haircut….could I pull it off?
PS: Emily and I just watched ‘Mad Money’ and I want the two hours of my life back.
You were right, Drew
Thanks to pal Drew for sending this my way. He said “My guess is she’ll think it’s ugly but it’s still cool furniture.”
Spot on, Drew. Actually, it’s not that it’s ugly, it’s that it’s messy. Why would I want a messy table? I wouldn’t.
FYI, I’m not really into this either
You know, with bright colors and abstract pixelation (sp?), you might think I’d be really into this art. You’d be wrong though. It’s boring.
I don’t get it
I think this is supposed to be cute or something…maybe romantic? If so, it’s beyond me, although I do like the grey/black fading in the numbers and the hot pink. But yeah, the big design element with the “you” and “me” business is…meh…I dunno
pimp brush
JIC you are on the go (or in prison) and need something that’s envio-friendly (and can’t be turned into a stabbing device).
Seriously though, I was reading some blog that named this one of the top 40 “green” things (note: boogers were not eligible) and I think they were confused because they said the brush was “by No-Shank,” when it’s clearly for prisons to use so that inmates don’t revolt.
A very, very clever cover to a very, very brilliant essay
This is the cover for the new edition of Walter Benjamin’s The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction that will be a part of Penguin’s Great Ideas series:
The essay is also great. If you are looking for a great piece of cultural criticism, you can read the entire essay on marxists.org.
See the rest of the covers here.
calculator stools = style + dorky hot
uuuuuh BEST
Also, in case you were wondering, we do have a T-I 89 in our apartment in case you needed one.
