Submitted by: dunno source via Submission Page The day I understand haute couture is the day Karl Lagerfeld releases a line of tape dispensers for Office Depot, so I usually don’t bother commenting on it. But speaking of office supplies, I have a stack of papers on my desk that could use some filing, and I think I know just the pants for the job . .

Heard of Shabby Apple ? If you haven’t, well it’s time to check it out. They have insanely cute and unique dresses for not that expensive.

In the spirit of Valentines Day, we’d like to give you the opportunity to let that inner geek express their true love for office supplies! We all know how much you really love your swingline stapler and stare at all the time. Or how you love the color of a particular pocket folder and get nervous when someone asks to borrow it for just a second. It’s okay.

Announcing our FIRST weekly giveaway! Check our blog, facebook , and twitter every Monday morning to see what you could win that week!

Great design, great colors, and a much more efficient way to do things

I just discovered this website. Polyvore. Kind of  a weird name?

Can you see the hearts? Or are you too distracted by Yosemite National Park? These hearts made from paper clips are so cute! What a great idea.

Sounds scary right? Don’t worry, staples are still for paper. Swingline has come up with a new idea for staples with RFID (radio frequency identification tags.) So when you’re rummaging through giant stacks of paper looking for a report or wondering which trash can your colleague might have dumped it in you can track it down! Hallelujah

It’s a new year, start dressing like it. Today is the beginning of a new series

So there I was at the CB2 in Soho on a Saturday afternoon when I saw this beauty.

Heating bills are expensive! It’s no joke. As much as I love saving energy and hate spending money on utility bills, I always have to crank the heat in the winter. (Except for living in NY because the heat is general free, building controlled, and your apartment turns into hot death.) I’ve thought about basements and garages and big houses and how they must be ridiculously expensive to heat.
