Remember Krisatomic, the Londoner with the amazing wardrobe? Well, she just opened an ebay shop, full of bags, dresses and shoes. Oh, if only my giant feet were a size 7! (Update: The shoes are actually a US size 9 -- any takers?)(Note: The clothes are in UK sizes.)

Great news: The Mandate Press just launched a new line of letterpress business cards. They offer seven elegant styles (or design your own), and you get 250 cards for $90. (For those who haven't ordered business cards before, that is MAD CHEAP.) Thank you, Mandate!

I'm loving the new trend of clear glasses. (Even J. Crew has them.) Less enthused, Alexei told me his mom wore in the 80's, but isn't that kind of the point?

I have long been in love with the Utter Inn, a cherry-red hotel sitting smack in the middle of a Swedish lake. As you fall asleep, you can watch the fishies in the underwater bedroom; when you wake up, you can swim or row an inflatable canoe into town!Well, now I'll be adding this floating house (in the Midwest, no less!) to my daydreams, too. See more photos here. Awesome.

My new friend Kate Hutchinson always sees this kid riding his Big Wheel around their neighborhood. A few weeks ago, he was dressed in a suit, so she figured that he must have just gotten home from a formal event. But when she chatted with his grandfather, she discovered that he had come home from school and decided to dress like Mr. Bean for the rest of the day! What an awesome little dude!

For this week's issue of New York Magazine, I interviewed kids about having lemonade stands in New York City. They were so hilarious and crafty! Their tricks to increase sales included purposefully misspelling "lemonade" on their signs and telling people's fortunes. Read the story here.
