It's not the traditional store model, but more of a pop-up location, with limited hours, complemented by an online boutique. <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.lindaloudermilk.com/">Linda Loundermilk</a> and <a href="http://www.loomstate.org/">Loomstate</a> are the most well known from the green section, and there's a handful of local designers for women: dresses by A Different Fur, multi strand semi-precious and costume jewelry from Sid Vintage and scarves by Asli Flinta. Then add more, hand made jewelery, hats, sunglasses, bags and various design oddities like Jeff Koons' Puppy Plant Sculpture or Murakami Monopoly.<p><a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/24/seattle-shop-has-neat-perspective/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Seattle shop has neat perspective</em></a></p><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/24/seattle-shop-has-neat-perspective/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/forward/1225670/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/24/seattle-shop-has-neat-perspective/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_155-1225670"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/155-1225670?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_155-1225670" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=155-1225670&amp;url=http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/24/seattle-shop-has-neat-perspective/" /></p>]]></description><category>Pulp Shop</category><category>PulpShop</category><category>Seattle</category><dc:creator>Michael Cohen</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-07-24T00:03:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Indie Designer Interviews: Feterie</title><link>http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/22/indie-designer-interviews-feterie/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/22/indie-designer-interviews-feterie/</guid><comments>http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/22/indie-designer-interviews-feterie/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/holidays/" rel="tag">Holidays</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/home-style/" rel="tag">Haute Home</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/interviews/" rel="tag">Interviews</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/under-the-radar/" rel="tag">Under the Radar</a></p><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/feterie_giftwrap.jpg" alt="Feterie - eco-luxe gift wrap" />W</span><span style="font-style: italic;">e love all of the amazin</span><span style="font-style: italic;">g independent designers out there.

Some lemons, some sugar, ice, a glass and you're in business. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemonade">non-carbonated kind we drink</a> here is a particularly American version, and it's a part of many family traditions, sipped on the porch after supper and sold from countless <a href="http://www.lemonadegame.com/">lemonade stands</a> in suburban driveways.<br /><br />Part of the fun of lemonade is it's <a href="http://www.recipegoldmine.com/bevlemonade/bevlemon.html">versatility</a>. You can add other fruits, like ripe raspberries, for a juicy hybrid surprise, or a garnish of mint to make it a garden party. And for those over twenty-one out there, well you probably already know how well vodka fortifies a tall glass of citrus goodness. Ginger, pink and strawberry lemonade are all <em>someone's</em> favorite.<br /><br />There are some quick and easy ways to dress up your lemonade and make every pitcher a party.

Every design is available for every piece they sell, so you never suffer the disappointment of falling in love with a piece, only to find out it doesn't come in your color.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: Ink and Paper Invitations</strong></p><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/ink-and-paper-invitations/924127/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/eclipse_flat_large_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Eclipse Invite" title="Eclipse Invite" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/ink-and-paper-invitations/924126/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/monogram_flat_large_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Monogram Invite" title="Monogram Invite" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/ink-and-paper-invitations/924125/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/flourish_invite_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Flourish invite" title="Flourish invite" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/ink-and-paper-invitations/924123/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/flight_flat_large_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Splendor Invite" title="Splendor Invite" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/ink-and-paper-invitations/924124/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/sprout_flat_large_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Sprout Invite" title="Sprout Invite" /></a></div><br /><br />One of the best selling points of Ink and Paper Design is the selection of additional items you can get, like place cards, menus, and best of all (in our opinion) <a href="http://www.inkandpaperdesign.com/category.php?category_id=13"><em>stickers</em>.</a> <br /><br />Maybe we're stuck in the fourth grade, but <a href="http://www.i-love-stickers.com/">we <em>love</em> stickers</a>. They can turn any plain item into a completely customized, matching part of your theme. You can use them to seal your thank you cards, or to decorate your bedroom window. The Ink and Paper Design stickers come in square, round or diamond shapes, taking the whole "choice" thing to a new high. And did we mention the magnets?<br /><br />It's almost enough to make us wish we were getting married all over again!<br /><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0;

Dishes in the sink, a pile of laundry that needed to be folded and then put away, two months worth of bills in a teetering pile on the "coffee table"...the list goes on and on. It so cluttered we were having trouble concentrating, and definitely too messy to have anyone drop in for a visit.<br /><br />We need some help, so we clicked over to <a href="http://www.flylady.net/index.asp">Fly Lady</a>, a site dedicated to making slobs like us get the dishes done and get dressed <em>every single day</em>. Now, it's in our job description that we must wear pjs while writing this blog, and everyone knows bras constrain blood flow to the part of the brain where funny writing originates, but there are still some good tips on the site.<br /><br /><p><a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/13/escape-chaos-with-flylady/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Escape CHAOS  with FlyLady</em></a></p><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/13/escape-chaos-with-flylady/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/forward/1244421/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/13/escape-chaos-with-flylady/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_155-1244421"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/155-1244421?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_155-1244421" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=155-1244421&amp;url=http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/13/escape-chaos-with-flylady/" /></p>]]></description><category>11 commandments</category><category>11Commandments</category><category>acronyms</category><category>cant have anyone over syndrome</category><category>CantHaveAnyoneOverSyndrome</category><category>CHAOS</category><category>clutter</category><category>fly lady</category><category>flying lessons</category><category>FlyingLessons</category><category>FlyLady</category><category>hugs</category><category>messy</category><category>sink</category><dc:creator>Cat Lincoln</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-07-13T14:16:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>CB2 is who?</title><link>http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/09/cb2-is-who/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/09/cb2-is-who/</guid><comments>http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/09/cb2-is-who/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/home-style/" rel="tag">Haute Home</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/stores/" rel="tag">Stores</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/accessories/" rel="tag">Accessories</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/steals-and-deals/" rel="tag">Steals and Deals</a></p><br /><img alt="Every day is a picnic." hspace="4" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/dinnerware.jpg" align="right" vspace="4" border="1" />Sale! <a href="http://cb2.com">CB2.com</a> has some gorgeous dinnerware on sale, such as the green chrysanthemum plates you see at right. $2.95-$4.95 apiece, people!<br /><br />CB2 has a lot of chic, reasonably-priced stuff.

A bit too labor intensive for everyday eating, a plate of deviled eggs is sure to be cleared within minutes of hitting the table. <br /><br />Knowing that you'll soon have an empty plate, plan ahead and serve them in a quirky egg platter. Save yourself the trouble of having to rush and clear the table, and instead consider the cute plate a part of your table decorations. <br /><br />There are dozens of decorative egg plates from which to choose, thanks to a far and wide tradition of funny, funky and even elegant designs. Plates with holiday themes, especially Easter, chickens, word plays on devil or egg abound.

We could sit here and talk bikinis all day, or better yet we could show you pictures of them. We're not going to do that- at least not in this post.<br /><br />Wait! Don't leave! You can read about bikinis anytime, how often do you get the opportunity to appreciate the apron? It is the forgotten accessory of summer, but it is a vital one.<br /><br />An apron is a great way to express oneself. It can be covered in beer bottles or kittens, crude jokes or sweet sentiments. The possibilities are endless. The <a href="http://www.bbqguys.com/category_name_BBQ-Aprons_path_7116-10984.html">BBQ Guys</a> have a few examples below:<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: BBQ Aprons</strong></p><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/bbq-aprons/900479/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/2212801d_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/bbq-aprons/900478/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/2212782d_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/bbq-aprons/900477/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/2212783d_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/bbq-aprons/900476/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/2212802d_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/bbq-aprons/900475/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/2212827d_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/03/the-real-fashion-statement-of-summer-bbq-aprons/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The real fashion statement of summer: BBQ aprons</em></a></p><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/03/the-real-fashion-statement-of-summer-bbq-aprons/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/forward/1245394/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/03/the-real-fashion-statement-of-summer-bbq-aprons/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_155-1245394"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/155-1245394?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_155-1245394" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=155-1245394&amp;url=http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/03/the-real-fashion-statement-of-summer-bbq-aprons/" /></p>]]></description><category>apron</category><category>barbecue</category><category>bbq</category><category>grill</category><category>guys</category><category>seasonal</category><category>summer</category><dc:creator>Whit Honea</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-07-03T19:07:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Help your dog stay cool in the dog days</title><link>http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/03/help-your-dog-stay-cool-in-the-dog-days/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/03/help-your-dog-stay-cool-in-the-dog-days/</guid><comments>http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/03/help-your-dog-stay-cool-in-the-dog-days/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/home-style/" rel="tag">Haute Home</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/accessories/" rel="tag">Accessories</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" align="right"  src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/dogcoolingcollarjuly08.jpg" alt="" /><br />Just like us, dogs can suffer from dehydration and <a href="http://www.seefido.com/canine-dog-health/html/dog_heat_exhaustion.htm">heat exhaustion</a>. They do their best to stay cool by panting, but <a href="http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/7929">since they can't exactly sweat</a>, it's tough for them to beat the heat.<br /><br />There are all kinds of contraptions on the market that use space-age polymer technology and old fashioned evaporation to help you do right by your best friend. From cooling vests to crate fans, to simple travel water bowls, it's easy to keep your pet cool. And that makes you cool, too.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: Help your dog stay cool</strong></p><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/help-your-dog-stay-cool/898543/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/large_orange_cool_collar_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Kool Collar" title="Kool Collar" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/help-your-dog-stay-cool/898534/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/dog83c0f8vd_lg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Orvis Cooling Dog Pool" title="Orvis Cooling Dog Pool" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/help-your-dog-stay-cool/898539/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/dogget_image_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Canine Cooler Dog Bed" title="Canine Cooler Dog Bed" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/help-your-dog-stay-cool/898542/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/yhst-33253405740736_2004_4625363_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Dog Cooling Vest" title="Dog Cooling Vest" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/help-your-dog-stay-cool/898535/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/dogbc3-1512big_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Traveling Dog Bowl" title="Traveling Dog Bowl" /></a></div><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/03/help-your-dog-stay-cool-in-the-dog-days/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/forward/1244396/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/03/help-your-dog-stay-cool-in-the-dog-days/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_155-1244396"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/155-1244396?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_155-1244396" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=155-1244396&amp;url=http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/03/help-your-dog-stay-cool-in-the-dog-days/" /></p>]]></description><category>cooling</category><category>crate</category><category>dehydration</category><category>dogloo</category><category>dogs</category><category>evaporation</category><category>fans</category><category>heat</category><category>heat exhaustion</category><category>HeatExhaustion</category><category>ice</category><category>pets</category><category>polymer</category><category>space-age</category><category>technology</category><category>vest</category><category>water bowl</category><category>WaterBowl</category><category>wrap</category><dc:creator>Cat Lincoln</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-07-03T09:08:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Party tricks: affordable supplies from Ikea</title><link>http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/01/party-tricks-affordable-supplies-from-ikea/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/01/party-tricks-affordable-supplies-from-ikea/</guid><comments>http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/01/party-tricks-affordable-supplies-from-ikea/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/home-style/" rel="tag">Haute Home</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" align="right"  src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/ikeaglassesjuly.jpg" alt="" /><br />The best advice we ever heard from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0358332/">Ted on Queer Eye</a> was to get inexpensive wine glasses from <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/">Ikea</a> instead of paper or plastic cups. It doesn't cost that much more -- in fact, over time it's actually less expensive -- and it's about a million times nicer to sip from glass than plastic. Not to mention the carbon footprint you're reducing by skipping the red keg cups.<br /><br />A quick spin around Ikea reveals additional party supplies that are as affordable as disposable items, but give your party a more festive, grown up feel. From plates to cutlery to <a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/06/28/ikea-is-the-best-place-in-the-world-to-buy-paper-napkins/">our favorite paper napkins</a>, some of Ikea's best buys in the gallery.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: Ikea Party Supplies on a Budget</strong></p><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/ikea-party-supplies-on-a-budget/893645/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/50311_pe132568_s3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="SVALKA Red Wine Glasses" title="SVALKA Red Wine Glasses" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/ikea-party-supplies-on-a-budget/893640/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/27878_pe099363_s3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="SVALKA Champagne Flutes" title="SVALKA Champagne Flutes" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/ikea-party-supplies-on-a-budget/893643/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/46278_pe143051_s3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="DRAGON dessert fork" title="DRAGON dessert fork" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/ikea-party-supplies-on-a-budget/893649/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/72565_pe188478_s3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="IKEA 365+ teaspoons" title="IKEA 365+ teaspoons" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/ikea-party-supplies-on-a-budget/893655/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/07/66458_pe179386_s3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="MOTTO  plate" title="MOTTO  plate" /></a></div><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/01/party-tricks-affordable-supplies-from-ikea/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/forward/1178904/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/01/party-tricks-affordable-supplies-from-ikea/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_155-1178904"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/155-1178904?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_155-1178904" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=155-1178904&amp;url=http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/01/party-tricks-affordable-supplies-from-ikea/" /></p>]]></description><category>carbon footprint</category><category>CarbonFootprint</category><category>dishes</category><category>disposable</category><category>flatware</category><category>glasses</category><category>ikea</category><category>keg cups</category><category>KegCups</category><category>paper</category><category>paper napkins</category><category>PaperNapkins</category><category>party supplies</category><category>party tricks</category><category>PartySupplies</category><category>PartyTricks</category><category>plastic</category><category>queer eye</category><category>QueerEye</category><category>ted</category><dc:creator>Cat Lincoln</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-07-01T11:04:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Ikea is the best place in the world to buy paper napkins</title><link>http://www.styledash.com/2008/06/28/ikea-is-the-best-place-in-the-world-to-buy-paper-napkins/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.styledash.com/2008/06/28/ikea-is-the-best-place-in-the-world-to-buy-paper-napkins/</guid><comments>http://www.styledash.com/2008/06/28/ikea-is-the-best-place-in-the-world-to-buy-paper-napkins/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/home-style/" rel="tag">Haute Home</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" align="right"  src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/06/napkins.jpg" alt="" /><br />One fast way to dress up a table or make a gathering festive is to pull out the party napkins. And our favorite place to get stylish, inexpensive paper napkins is that cathedral of stylish and inexpensive, <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/">Ikea</a>.<br /><br />We stocked up on our last trip to The Great Warehouse! Check out the great variety of colors and patterns. Also, you can't beat the quality. The heavy-weight paper is absorbent and lasts from hors d'oeuvres to dessert.<br /><br />At the bargain price of $1.99 (on average), you can afford to pick up as many packs as strike your fancy. We like to keep several on hand so we can set a mod table or mix and match colors, depending on our mood. <br /><br />Ikea also has several options for napkin holders, if you want to dress up your table even more. The only disappointment is that you can't order these paper products online -- <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/rooms/dining/10577/">just browse</a>.

Whether you've invited just a couple of pals or a whole bunch of people over, whenever you have guests in your home, you want it to make a good impression. That means putting away your dishes and maybe doing a little vacuuming ... but what about the first thing people notice when they come in the door? What about the scent?<br /><br />A pleasant aroma can immediately set the tone of the evening, so you want to make sure you get it right. We're really digging <a href="http://www.zensual.com/index.php">Zensual</a>. They offer a variety of intoxicating scents in both candle and diffuser form -- candles for when you want that romantic glow, and diffusers for when it's just too hot to deal with a flame. <br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: Get Zensual</strong></p><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/get-zensual/861311/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/06/zensual---bamboo_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Bamboo &amp; Sugarcane" title="Bamboo &amp; Sugarcane" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/get-zensual/861308/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/06/italian-bergamot.diff_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Italian Bergamot &amp; Mimosa" title="Italian Bergamot &amp; Mimosa" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/get-zensual/861309/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/06/mokara-orchid--violet_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Mokara Orchid &amp; Violet" title="Mokara Orchid &amp; Violet" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/get-zensual/861310/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/06/moroccan-mint-diff_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Moroccan Mint" title="Moroccan Mint" /></a><a href="http://"www.styledash.com"/photos/get-zensual/861312/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/06/italian-bergamot_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Italian Bergamot &amp; Mimosa" title="Italian Bergamot &amp; Mimosa" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/06/13/give-your-home-a-zensual-makeover/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Give your home a Zensual makeover</em></a></p><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.zensual.com/index.php>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/06/13/give-your-home-a-zensual-makeover/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/forward/1225063/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/2008/06/13/give-your-home-a-zensual-makeover/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_155-1225063"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/155-1225063?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_155-1225063" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=155-1225063&amp;url=http://www.styledash.com/2008/06/13/give-your-home-a-zensual-makeover/" /></p>]]></description><category>candles</category><category>diffuser</category><category>exotic</category><category>fragrance</category><category>home</category><category>reed diffuser</category><category>ReedDiffuser</category><category>scent</category><category>smell</category><category>zensual</category><dc:creator>Kristen Seymour</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-06-13T17:04:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Father's Day Gift Guide - outdoorsy gifts for the great hunter</title><link>http://www.styledash.com/2008/06/13/fathers-day-gift-guide-outdoorsy-gifts-for-the-great-hunter/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.styledash.com/2008/06/13/fathers-day-gift-guide-outdoorsy-gifts-for-the-great-hunter/</guid><comments>http://www.styledash.com/2008/06/13/fathers-day-gift-guide-outdoorsy-gifts-for-the-great-hunter/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/home-style/" rel="tag">Haute Home</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/men/" rel="tag">Men</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/under-the-radar/" rel="tag">Under the Radar</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/06/grill.jpg" /><br />Lots of guys enjoy spending time in outdoors, testing their ingenuity and skill in the oldest pursuit: hunting wild game.
