An Organizational Haven For Your Gadgets
I'm obsessed with docking stations! I think it's awesome to have all of your gadgets being charged neatly in one designated spot so you never forget to grab this or that as you're walking out the door. I can't tell you how many times I was already outside my apartment, on my way to work, when I realized my iPhone was still sitting on the coffee table! Go a day without my iPhone? Never! So when I saw some of the Bluelounge products at MacWorld this year, I was stoked when they told me about the Sanctuary. Now that it's finally available, I can get organized in style.
Celebrity Style: Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham hit LA's vintage haven Resurrection in a classy but, of course, sexy look. This is Posh we're talking about here. She isn't showing too much skin but manages to get the message across anyway with her extremely fitted pencil skirt and demure button down top. A patent doctors bag and her trademark oversized DVB sunglasses up the glam factor, which is offset by a chunky androgynous watch. Hot. Let's hope she bought the vintage Chanel bag she's caressing, I could never get tired of ogling that beauty.
Registry Roundup: Furniture
Though it may be a bit untraditional, for young couples living on their own for the first time or for recent graduate student couples, registering for furniture is a good way to get the basics for your home, without running up credit card debt. In rare cases, a generous relative may pony up and buy you an entire sofa. For everyone else, there are retailers that will allow you to register for items at various price points (that will be affordable for all of your guests), and then essentially exchange them for a credit to spend on a high priced item you actually want, such as furniture. You can also register for cash gifts on MyRegistry, which can be combined to get you the dining table you're hankering for. If you do decide to register for furniture, choose the basics: bed, dresser, sofa, coffee table, dining table, and ottoman, along with four to six dining chairs. Following those guidelines, I rounded up several furnishings that I myself would register for. My choices, I think, are a good combination of a masculine color scheme, some feminine curves, and classic designs that should last at least as long as a good marriage. We also have a downloadable wedding registry you can use, and for a look at all of our wedding coverage, check out IDoSugar.
