Nooka watch





"In a bid to ensure their packaging is not thrown away, watch manufacturer Nooka has partnered with design brand SiliconeZone to produce a rather unusual product: Packaging that you save and use to eat out of. Nooka's new gem box is microwave-safe and harkening back to the days when the impoverished would save jam jars to use as drinking glasses, though the cooking-grade silicone used here is decidedly more hi-tech."

Enviromentally Friendly Cleaning Product


"Billed as a "disruptive new household cleaning product," Replenish is a durable bottle made from PET-1 (the most-recyclable type of plastic) that essentially comes to the consumer empty, with a "twist-on concentrate pod" containing concentrated cleaning solution. Fill the thing up with water, mix, and you're good to go. Once it's drained, you can buy more pods with different types of cleaning solution in them, and again, you refill it with water you've already got on tap. This means there's a lot less to truck around, as only 5% of the weight of your typical spray bottle is the actual active ingredient; the rest is plastic and water, needlessly adding to the carbon footprint.

Replenish was developed in conjunction with William McDonough's MBDC consultancy. Learn more about it here." (via core77)

United Nude Hat




"The United Nude Stealth Hat, like the wedge shoe in the same family is inspired by the straight lines of the Stealth F-117 fighter plane. Unlike the aircraft, the United Nude Stealth does not fly under the radar; it is very sexy and gets noticed immediately for its remarkable and unique design." (via united nude)

Clever Drying Rack




"Boon's Grass Countertop Drying Rack
is a sleek and stylish drying rack that can be used with a wide variety of baby accessories. The two-piece design makes it easy to clean. Water drains into the lower tray while baby accessories rest on flexible grass blades to air dry. Great for everything from bottles to pacifiers. Grass and tray are both dishwasher-safe."

Club Monoco





I would love to have this shirt, but I have no money to purchase it. Instead, I am blogging about it, which makes it feel like it could be mine. This Lexi shirt , by Club Monoco, has a very sweet and charming pattern. I appreciate clothing that has a trompe l'oeil effect like Rosalind Keep does in her clothing.
