Don't you love it when a tee shirt is more than just a tee? Like a top that makes a major artistic statement while you comfortably go about your business? A loose fitting piece that makes you look put together as opposed to sloppy? Well Jonathan Saunders has your number. http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-jonathan-saunders/feed/ 0 http://www.los-list.com/blog/duck-duck-goose-little-sapling-toys/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/duck-duck-goose-little-sapling-toys/#comments Thu, 24 Feb 2011 21:16:03 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=11112

As motherhood inches nearer, I find my mind is preoccupied: where to put the crib, what to put on the iPod for our (hopefully short) stint in the birthing wing of Roosevelt Hospital, whether little Pipsqueek will be as boisterous as his/her cousin Lir, the baby's college fund, where we're sending the little munchkin to preschool... http://www.los-list.com/blog/duck-duck-goose-little-sapling-toys/feed/ 0 http://www.los-list.com/blog/kawaii-angry-birds-plushes/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/kawaii-angry-birds-plushes/#comments Wed, 23 Feb 2011 23:26:04 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=11099

So, we all know that one of the best (and cutest) games on mobile devices these days is Rovio's Angry Birds. Not only is the game ever-expanding, they make kick-ass seasonal versions (did you SEE the valentine's day edition? Cupid piggies!!)... http://www.los-list.com/blog/kawaii-angry-birds-plushes/feed/ 0 http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-lead-and-light/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-lead-and-light/#comments Tue, 22 Feb 2011 23:53:53 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=11079

It’s hard to find tees that are both interesting and sufficiently subtle to satisfy my design-conscious yet wallflowery husband YZ. Sam Kaufman, the creative behind Lead & Light manages to hit the pin on the head... http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-lead-and-light/feed/ 0 http://www.los-list.com/blog/shutterbug-josef-schulz/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/shutterbug-josef-schulz/#comments Mon, 21 Feb 2011 14:57:44 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=11047

Yes, typography is all that and a bag of chips, and we have a long-standing love affair with signage old and new—but what happens when you wipe the slate (or in this case the photo) clean of the ABCs? http://www.los-list.com/blog/shutterbug-josef-schulz/feed/ 2 http://www.los-list.com/blog/kawaii-ming-makes-cupcakes/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/kawaii-ming-makes-cupcakes/#comments Thu, 17 Feb 2011 15:50:31 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=11014

I hold a very dear place in my heart for cupcakes. My own bergamot lavender cupcakes were a hit in the East Village when my friend Jodi of Sympathy for the Kettle would serve them up with frothy matcha lattes and endless pots of Ti Kuan Yin. Lately, I've had the growing desire to get back into the kitchen and bake up a storm (motherly instincts?)... http://www.los-list.com/blog/kawaii-ming-makes-cupcakes/feed/ 20 http://www.los-list.com/blog/eco-friendlies-geoffrey-lilge/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/eco-friendlies-geoffrey-lilge/#comments Tue, 15 Feb 2011 16:17:08 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10989

The kitchen is such a happy place in our house: full of anticipation, tempting aromas and (mostly) great results - thanks to head chef YZ. I've always had quite the weak spot for kitchen supplies but, with my klutzy husband breaking most of the japanese glassware and ceramic treasures of my past life, I realize that my attention should now turn to accessories of a less breakable nature. Already a big fan of beautiful wood objects, cutting boards are a great culinary object to focus on. http://www.los-list.com/blog/eco-friendlies-geoffrey-lilge/feed/ 11 http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-happy-family/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-happy-family/#comments Tue, 08 Feb 2011 22:42:10 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10962

After another visit to the midwife's office yesterday and, thus, another precious chance to listen to Pipsqueek's little heart thumping away I can't help but have a giddy case of baby-brain. It's taking all of my shopaholic willpower not to spend the little one's college fund on fluffy booties, clothing, and a comprehensive Dr. Seuss / Shel Silverstein / Richard Scarry / Maurice Sendak library. http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-happy-family/feed/ 5 http://www.los-list.com/blog/welcome-home-weck-jars/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/welcome-home-weck-jars/#comments Mon, 07 Feb 2011 18:28:25 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10951

I’m not going to suggest I spend my weekends canning or preserving peaches — this isn’t that kind of blog — but I can’t help loving a classic glass jar. Forget the fussy, sticky, sweaty days of making marmalade. Jars are perfect for everyday storage around the kitchen, and for those of us without much cupboard or pantry space, they’re a great way to make the usually-hidden presentable. In fact, a neat row of jars filled with nuts or grains or pasta often adds a touch of dare-I-say rustic charm to a countertop. http://www.los-list.com/blog/welcome-home-weck-jars/feed/ 3 http://www.los-list.com/blog/geekology-bluelounge/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/geekology-bluelounge/#comments Thu, 03 Feb 2011 20:23:59 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10931

As a design geek living with a music geek, I spend my days lost in an endless gaggle of wires: nests of audio-cables, tangled mouse-cords and — what the heck does this attach to!? Three cheers, then, for Pasadena-based design firm Bluelounge, who are single-handedly cutting through the technological gordian knot with a range of savvy clutter solutions... http://www.los-list.com/blog/geekology-bluelounge/feed/ 16
