Poste Smartphone Wallet

I'm always equally amazed/impressed/horrified at how much my female friends tote around throughout the day in their purses. But there's a growing number who are ditching the purse and just carrying around a wallet to hold or stow away in a coat pocket. I think a few of them will be interested in this wristlet style wallet designed to accommodate for the usual money/cards, but also has room for smartphones, small digital cameras, earbuds, memory sticks, and other accessories for the modern wired woman. Available in 5 colors (I like the gray option).

Three cheers for the three-day weekend! While it's important to set aside time to drink beer and barbecue, there's also plenty of time to get out and kick off summer!

Lim C Table Lamp by Pablo Pardo for Pablo
• $250.00
• Design Within Reach

Since converting our dining table into a secondary desk I've been on the hunt for a task lamp with two features in mind: LED lighting for warm-white illumination and a minimal visual presence. There's a bevy of task and table lamps available, but Pablo Pardo's design is the first I've happened upon which seems to be capable of being "there" when turned off, while disappearing into the background while turned off. Rated for 50,000 hours of use and 85% more efficient than incandescent lamps, the Lim C is also available as a floor and variable height version, but I've got my eyes set on this ultra-slim magnetic mount model.
