Nice and New: Anthropologie Plumage Shade
For those of you who decided to splurge on the Peacock Chair, I have found the perfect lamp shade to go with it! And for those who restrained themselves, I've got a more affordable ostentatious bird for you. The Anthropologie Plumage Shade ($108) is embroidered in silk with peacocks strutting about a navy cotton background.
Casa Quickie: Grow Your Own Air Conditioning
For anyone seeking an eco chic lifestyle, air conditioning is a conflict, to say the least. If it were easy to acclimate ourselves to living a sweat-filled life, we would have, long ago. But, it turns out that the ability to control the climate indoors is a big life-saver when it comes to being comfortable and getting things done.
Casa Quickie: Lighten Up for Spring
In case you haven't noticed, it's Spring! Isn't that supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!? Yes, it is.
Wicker Goes Modern
I first saw these great wicker shades on eco-designer Danny Seo's blog. Since then I've checked them out at Ikea, both in-store and in the catalog. While I'm not a huge wicker fan, these lamp shades have a cool shape, and the extra-gigantic size for the larger shades—you could fit yourself and a friend's heads and shoulders under one of them—definitely makes an unexpected statement.

Steal of the Day: Grosgrain-Ribbon Roman Shade
If only PBteen offered more colors than pink, purple, and blue, it would be my favorite resource for steals! This Grosgrain-Ribbon Roman Shade ($14-$16, reduced from $79-$89) is classic, chic, and absurdly cheap. It's a sheer organdy shade, so it doesn't block out all of the light, but we're not mole people, so that's fine!
Shades of Green — A Disney Resort For Military Families
I can't believe I had never heard of this place until I cracked open the Times yesterday — Shades of Green. It's a vacation spot for soldiers on active duty (and other eligible service folks) to call their own when they come home to visit their families or need a vacation.
Nestled within Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL, the name is inspired by camouflage colors and features everything you'd expect from a fun-in-the-sun resort — all housed on property leased by the Army.
Love It or Hate It? Anthropologie Ibbie Shade
While scoping out beautiful buys that fit the 3-D floral trend, I came across this decidedly different Anthropologie Ibbie Shade ($148). This drum-shaped lampshade is pastel and girly, with grosgrain sculpted flowers. Does it tickle your fancy?
New Product Alert: Fall 2007 Designer Shades by OPI
Who knew that OPI had so many different categories of polishes? I thought they only came out with one new collection each season, but I've recently learned about two more: A line of six colorful Dog PAWlishes and the Designer Shades Collection.
For Fall 2007 OPI has released two new shades in this dynamic designer group: DS diamond and DS fantasy.
Ashlee Simpson's Shutter Shades: Love It or Hate It?
Ashlee Simpson, and her pops, wore them in February and Paris Hilton sported them last December . . .
Crave Worthy: Coolaroo Triangle Shade Sail
This Coolaroo Triangle Shade Sail is so stylish, simple, and useful, I can't believe it costs just $103. The breathable 16-foot sunshade adds an instant canopy to any backyard, blocking up to 90 percent of UV rays. The weatherproof canvas is much easier and cheaper to install than a gazebo or other wooden structure, and it's incredibly hip, too.
