The Onmii board solves today’s problem with storing and organizing jewelry and accessories. 

Most girls have an abundance of jewelry , big earrings , small earrings and armbands, cuff’s bracelets and the ” onmii “concept is the perfect organization solution.  This is something all girls need!

New to the US, Onmii creates brilliant products for storage and organizing accessories. The company partners with the best industry designers to help design their ideas. Onmii started, as so many other inventions, as a problem. Gry, the founder of Onmii,  was tired of looking for the right jewelry in the busy morning hours. ”Is it in the jewelry box in the bedroom, bathroom or living room?”  Gry developed a solution with the help of award-winning, industrial designer Johan Verde who managed to combine spectacular and trendy design and good functionality.

 Onmii is flexible enough to suit all types of necklaces , earrings , bracelets and rings , while the beautifully designed Onmii board is a jewel in itself.  The core is Onmii Board , which comes in two sizes and can be hung on walls or used as table model.

 “The large Onmii board has 211 holes. The texture formed by the holes is often associated with chinese checker. Onmii Flowerbuttons may be applied anywhere on the board, which will grant you freedom to organize jewelry of any kind and in any size. The board is designed to decorate any wall in any room without dominating the interior of your home.”

The link between technology and jewelry takes another step forward with the launch of a new line designed to make Bluetooth beautiful. The Victoria line from Novero is a collection of exquisite communication pieces that can be worn around the neck when not in use. Designs include the Victoria Lapis set with sterling silver, the Victoria Pearl with pearls and gold and the Victoria Stripes molded from contemporary black silicone with stripes in brushed gold. The Victoria collection will be available later this summer at select retailers in North America, Europe and Asia.

Custom orders are also available. The “la première édition” is a series of five commissioned pieces fashioned from precious metals and rare jewels valued at more than $120,000 each. Novero was founded in 2008 via a management buyout from Nokia orchestrated by Razvan Olosu. The company is headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany, with over 425 employees across offices in Europe, North America and Asia.  http://www.luxist.com/2010/05/15/novero-beautiful-bluetooth-jewelry/

I love a good gift.  My friend Amy sells these amazing Super Notepads by Dabney Lee which she gave me last summer.  A totally trendy (meant in the best way), chunky, personalized pad that I use about …umm…20x a day. I’ve totally snagged her idea and now send them as gifts to all my favorite peeps. These are a fresh, fun take on boring gifts. Think blue zig zag pattern with orange monogram, or my fave–lime green medallions with KATHY in hot pink. Choose monogram, full name, family name –anything goes.  http://www.soluxe.com/store/UserEditFormFilling.aspx

Have you seen the Tervis Tumbler?  I’ve been carrying one around filled with my daily water.  The cups keep the water cold plus you can buy a lid and straw so nothing spills.  It is so easy to carry around with you. 

The folks in the South have known about these fantastic cups for quite some time.  If you watch The Blind Side, you will see Sandra Bullock carrying on around the house.  Now the word is spreading.   What makes the Tervis Tumbler so special?

I am a huge fan of tote bags.  I load them up with my computer, files, work notebooks, doggie leash, make up, bottle of water, Doc Martin of Maui sunscreen, iphone, blackberry and itouch, Mackie Mack note pad, books and magazines to name a few.  I, like many women like to have my stuff around me.  This way I can seemlessly slip from one task to the next.  I am always working and always on.  My favorite tote for quite some time has been a vintage inspired, black leather Fendi.  It is quite fabulous.  But it is summer time now and  I want to rock a lighter version, or lighter material with the same functionality.  Here are a few I spied…….

Check out the longer shape. I wonder what else I can put in it.
