Yellow + Blue Wines

These wines, are all organic and packaged to ship. All the ingrediants are organic and the packaging is enviornmentally friendly. Available in many locations in the US this has become a somewhat well-known brand to organic loving drinkers. The wines have various interesting flavors and undertones such as coral and pineapple on top of original flavors. This seems worth trying. Saving the enviornment while enjoying a glass of wine, killing two birds with one stone. This wine is available to buy through their website, http://www.ybwines.com/.

Shoes for a Cause!

These shoes are awesome! SoleRebels, an Etheopian company makes them with organic cotton and used car tires for soles.

Not only do these shoes look extremely comfortable, but they are eco-friendly and available for purchase online to anyone! They are available on amazon.com and even come in many different shapes and colors. They are designed to be comfortable and modern and add a twist by being based on the style of "the original sole rebels."

Metropolitan Museum of Art

Lots of Art Deco furniture has been displayed this year at the Met. Artists like Jared Gloss and Josephine Baker have displayed their designs. This is the most the Met has ever displayed of this kind of art at one time. It is a modern and interesting display of things from diamond-studded cigarette holders to cabinets.

Pratt Thesis

This week at Pratt Institute they are having Graduate Industrial Design presentations. The students are presenting their graduate thesises in a large presentation to celebrate their accomplishments. This even is open to the public and will be held in Brooklyn. This is something I would love to be able to attend and to learn from all the advanced ideas and theorys that these students have to offer. Sadly, I will be busy with all thats going on in this neck of the woods but this is something I would love to attend in the future. There is more information regarding this event on core77.com. This is an example of student Vanessa Marie Robinson's logo "For the Love of Bikes."

Print Your Toast!

This was the second prize winner at the Berner Design Awards. It is a design by Othmar Mühlebach that actually takes cues from your desktop printer at home. This design makes breakfast fun and is sure enough a reason to get out of the bed in the morning when you may or may not be looking forward to the long work day ahead of you! Its a toaster with a twist. This design could be taken to other levels to make it even more interesting and exciting but this seems good enough for now!
