My Whiskey

Men and their alcohol. It’s a love that many women don’t understand, but at the same time – we do. And that’s okay, because we’ll let them have their thing and that will just be it. Cool Material introduced me to something very intriguing today called “My Whiskey.” Basically it allows a Whiskey lover to create their very own customized whiskey from the  ”grain bill, the yeast, the barrel, the age, the proof, and the name of your very own whiskey.” It will be 80 proof and will equate to about 160 bottles ($38 a bottle) so you better make it a good one! Basically, you will be set for life. So to whom do you owe all of this goodness to? None other than the Mississippi River Distilling Company.

10 New Apps To Try Out

As most of my friends know, I came onto the iPhone game very late. As in…last September late and the only apps I needed were my key social media ones I needed to be a better blogger. It wasn’t until recently that I started to venture out more and see what apps I could try out and which would benefit me. I recently discussed Food Tripping, but I came across this post on Cool Material that talks about 10 new apps you should also keep on your dash. If you’re in need of something new, check it out here!

A Rainbow of Shoes and Legs

photo cred | Colassal

Usually I find even mannequins to be a little bit creepy, but this piece by John Breed is whimsically entrancing. I’m not sure if it’s the leg and shoes combination or the pretty pastels – maybe it is both! The piece was designed as a collaboration with German shoe salon Breuninger and was created using 145 multicolored shoes and legs.

Free People Presents Roshambo: Rock


I am such a sucker for love story webisodes. We all remember my obsession with Casual: The Series, don’t we? Of course we do. Well this is the second installment from Free People’s “Roshambo” series that we were first introduced to back in January. In this video, we are taken back to a time before Sheila and Chris reunite on the streets of New York and are shown how Sheila copes with her breakup with Chris. A trip to Rio with her best friends? Can’t get any better than that. I am so excited about this series because even without a lot of dialogue Sheila’s feelings are relatable. It’s a beautiful series altogether, but there needs to be more Chris Abbott, please.

Watch the first video under the cut:

A Rubber Duck in Hong Kong

How can you even tell me that this doesn’t make you smile just a little ? There’s a rubber duck (an enormous one!) in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour! Conceptual artist Florentijin Hofman created this huge inflatable duck towering in at 46 ft tall and 55 ft long.

The Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn’t discriminate people and doesn’t have a political connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!

The Rubber Duck will be on display in the harbor through June 9, 2013.

Picture Cook: See. Make. Eat

I have barely touched my cook books since Pinterest came along, but it used to be my favorite part of making meals back in college. I stumbled upon this new cook book designed for guys that completely simplifies the process and includes a rainbow of colors! Picture Cook: See. Make. Eat. brings the cooking instructions back down to the basics – just the way guys like it, right? Recipes included range from simple to even more complex meals like lasagna!

Ghost

I am loving the simplicity of this new blogging platform! I don’t know if I could abandon ship on WordPress especially since I have had it for over four years, but I am open to the idea of new platforms that are changing with the times. I like the minimalistic look, but I also like that Ghost kind of simplifies the process for people who love to write, but aren’t always the most technical. Because that’s not what blogging should be about, right? It’s about the content. You can view their Kickstarter here.

Virgin America – The Matchmaker

It’s no secret that flying on Virgin America is what we call a good decision. Everything that you can do on your flight makes traveling go by so much faster! With music, food, movies, chatting from seat-to-seat, Richard Branson is now tapping into another hot market. Dating. For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been talking about how difficult it can be to date these days, but would you believe that many people actually…meet on flights? Everything starts with a good conversation and Branson knows that. A new feature that you can find on Virgin America flights is the ability for passengers to send each other anonymous drinks, snacks, and meals…because nothing says ‘I’m into you’ more than filling a person’s stomach! If that isn’t obvious enough, you can also send a passenger a pretty blunt text about your feelings. That’s a little too much for us, but to each his/her own.

The Foundry

Seattle is home to some of the most beautiful event spaces. Today, Herban Feast announced a new addition to the family – The Foundry – which will be used for intimate get-togethers and will hold anywhere between 200-500 people. Oh my goodness, I am loving this rustic look. How can I have the chance to see this in person?!

Wedding Mondays

I know I always say that every wedding video is my favorite, but seriously THIS is one of my favorites. Lindsey and Nate are a beautiful couple and this video has so many stand out moments…

1) Lindsey’s dress! One of the best that I have ever seen.

2) Nate crying as Lindsey walks down the aisle.

3) Lindsey’s brother and his speech

Happy Monday readers!

We’ve been hosting Wedding Mondays to kick off your week for quite some time now and while I love wedding videos, it is not fair of me to deprive you of the details! I typically find these videos on wedding blogs when they are being featured. From here on out, you will now have the opportunity to learn more about the couple’s story, the details in the wedding, and the GORGEOUS photos. So yes, I’m taking up a little bit more time on your Monday mornings, but it’s well worth it – here it is brought to you by Green Wedding Shoes.

An Instagram Generation

When my friend Lauren was in town a couple of weeks ago she was telling me about how her sister’s boyfriend was somewhat of an Instagram celebrity. After seeing a few of his photos, I was convinced. There were these insta-meetups that he would attend with maybe a hundred people and all they would do is shoot photos together as a group. Well, I think you’d have to see it to believe it and lucky for us we get to have a peek with this video!

Wool & Prince Shirts

I don’t think any girl will ever say no her guy donning a dress shirt. I always find it kind of funny though because guys will say they love it when girls are dressed down or “in sweats and no makeup,” but uh… I don’t know if a girl would say that about a guy, right?

While some guys may not like to admit up front that they like to dress up, us girls know that they do. We also understand that it takes a little bit more work for them. For one, a dress shirt requires care. It needs to be dry cleaned and ironed. Sure, girls have those issues too, but not as often. Wool & Prince has claimed that they have found the solution for men! Their new line of shirts were recently tested and the results have shown that these shirts can be worn for 100 days straight appearing clean and wrinkle free! It’s not stain proof – but then again that depends on how clumsy the guy is. The shirt costs $98, but if it lives up to all that it promises, then it is most certainly worth it.

Design Want of the Day

Readers, is this not one of the best inventions you’ve ever seen? This fusion table was designed by Aramith and I love it because it’s a fully functioning dining table and also a pool table in one. The sleekness and modern style of the wood is what has me really attracted to this piece.

$8,990

By the way if you haven’t noticed, there’s a total guys theme today!
