    We live in a society that celebrates individualism and encourages people to be unique and think outside of the box. We strive to be different, and to set ourselves apart from the rest of society. What about those who never really fit in anywhere? Friends with everyone, but not really friends with anyone. Those whose ideas might be a little out there and their fashion a little "avant-garde", and are generally beautiful and interesting people but just a little misunderstood? Allison Wells, jewelry designer at Papersnake, has designed a necklace for the "black sheep" out there who are a little strange and loving it a lot! Papersnake offers a "Black-Sheep Necklace" that features a flock of white sheep on a chain with a single black sheep dangling from the center. It's the perfect accessory to show how wonderfully unique you are, or give it as a original gift to that special someone that you love but just don't quite understand.


    Price: $110

    You almost wouldn't expect something so whimsically designed and sweetly packaged from the seriously sophisticated and cynically chic French! Just to prove that they are always unpredictable and one-step ahead, French designers Crea Crea and Crescioni Vanina are introducing Thermos-minis! These cute little drink containers are the baby-siblings of the huge, heavy, stainless steel versions that my dad lugs around in order to save money on coffee. They are obviously smaller, but still hold enough that you won't be left wanting more caffeine after drinking the last drops. These Thermos-minis hold about 8 oz of whatever drink you want... hot, cold, or spiked (just kidding). Besides keeping a good temperature on your drinks (because if it didn't, it wouldn't be a Thermos), these Thermos-minis also come in an array of fun and colorful designs and patterns. Personalize your morning pick-me-up by choosing anything from Asian-inspired floral patterns to multi-colored dots and shapes! There's even ones that resemble a tiny man or an umbrella toting frog! All the designs are different, but all are whimsical, care-free and full of bright color. Their size allows you to pop them into a purse or tote, or to throw into the backseat of a car. No more cookie-cutter, silver steel thermoses that need their own carrier just to transport them around!


    Price: $38.00

    Gotta Getaway? Experience Movie Magic At Hotel Bijou In San ...

    San Francisco is truly an international city with a large variety of places, things and events to offer. The people and city are interesting and diverse, ranging from unique to downright strange! My cousin recently flew in to visit me and discovered a quaint hotel that leans towards the unique side more than the downright strange side. The Hotel Bijou is located in the heart of Union Square and although the rooms are cozy, I ended up staying with her for 2 nights instead of going back to my own place. The theme is that of San Francisco movie magic. San Francisco is a city rich with culture and beauty which makes it an ideal place for film locations with classics like Vertigo and Basic Instinct on the list. Each adequately sized room is clean and kempt and named after a movie that has taken place in San Francisco. Still-frames of the specific movie decorate the rooms and other movie photos and paraphernalia are showcased in the hallways. The lobby resembles an old theater and furniture is European and comfortable with an antique feel. There is even a mini-theater complete with velvet curtains and plush red seats to the side of the lobby that shows double-features on a nightly basis. All the films shown are based in San Francisco, of course! The concierge is friendly and helpful and there is an unlimited supply of single serving raw almond packets that you can grab either on your way up to your room, or as a snack for later when you're exploring the city. The location is ideal and after watching San Francisco-based films, you'll be inspired to explore the city even more! There are numerous restaurants and eateries nearby, ranging in cuisine from fast-food burgers to Indian delicacies, as well as the huge Westfield mall. Other stores and boutiques are within walking distance, as well as a cable car stop and MUNI and Bart stations. So whether you're making a stop in San Francisco for business and pleasure, be sure to check out the Hotel Bijou for a comfortable, affordable and unique experience!

    Hot In The Hive: Ballistic Rose From Citizen

    Ida Hsiang on май 5, 2009 6:25 AM PDT
    There has always been something so alluring about paradoxical situations and the juxtapositions in life. What symbolizes beauty and romance better than a rose? Tobias Wong creates the Ballistic Rose out of a single piece of Ballistic Nylon, material used for military purposes. The black, rough material is so different from the fragrant, velvety feel of a real rose, but then, that's the appeal. This Ballistic Rose is in full bloom and lends commentary to the current somber issues in our world today. The Ballistic Rose by Tobias Wong is meant to remind us of the fragility and volatility of our world, but also of the beauty that can still be found in it. Made of a material usually reserved for those that protect, Wong is showing us how simple it is to manipulate our sense of security. The Ballistic Rose is a fascinating and elegant way to accessorize and have your voice be heard. Originally a wry art piece for the New York MoMA, the Ballistic Rose corsage can now be yours. It comes in a replica of a shotgun cartridge box, adding even more tongue-in-cheek appeal to this multi-use, avant-garde accessory. Check out www.citizen-citizen.com for more interesting and innovative ideas!

    If you ever find yourself looking for a unique place to stay for a vacation with the ultimate dog lover (or maybe you're the dog lover), have I found the place for you! Welcome to the Dog Bark Park Inn Bed & Breakfast in Cottonwood, Idaho. Owners and chainsaw artists (yep, you read that right) Dennis & Frances built the dog-shaped B&B themselves and now have the world's largest beagle. Guests can enter the body of the beagle from a private second story deck. Go up another level and there's more sleeping space and a cozy alcove in the muzzle. You can even take classes from soap making to the basics of Dutch Oven cooking at the local college during your stay! While it's only open from April to November every year, it's never to early to plan your next vacation. And of course dogs are more than welcome to stay too! Interested in seeing more?
