Leave it to Thabto to come up with a quirky name like Jpegs for these J-hooks. Inspired by the classic wooden clothes peg, these hooks can manage just about anything from your keys to coats and bags and also wrangle your mail at the same time. Or, stick a love note in the clothes pin. Or lunch money! Pop a photo of the hook’s owner to help keep your family’s things organized and separated. Each Jpeg also come with powerful magnets so you can put them on your fridge to use for kids’ drawings or notes, and also hang a potholder or apron.

This past weekend was my bridal shower, where I was fortunate enough to receive a Vitamix Blender. Now, I can’t stop scouring the Internet for soups, smoothies, juices – you name it. Did you know the Vitamix heats up the soups? I had no idea and I can’t believe it. Can’t wait to try it out!

Before I venture into soups, I think I’ll start with some smoothies. I’m thinking maybe a smoothie and soup only diet is in my near future, along with some juices…

The first smoothie that’s on my radar is this Avocado Banana Smoothie. I love avocados and this smoothie looks like a great way to include them. The website that the smoothie is from, SmoothieWeb, has a ton of other great smoothie recipes if you don’t like avocados, or are interested in more.

Do you make smoothies often? What are your favorite recipes?

Designers Rui Pereira and Ryosuke Fukusada took a look at how disconnected society has become with technology becoming more and more prevalent and decided to use fire as a means to bring people back together again. Their design,  Faro , is a fireplace that aims to increase socializing by having a place to gather around. The mini fireplace can be used indoors or outdoors with the use of an ethanol burner or regular wood for outside. Exploring materials such as red clay, hammered copper and aluminum, the design evokes a feeling of those traditional wood stoves.

Note Design Studio has cooked up a lot of new products for Milan Design Week, but my favorite has to be this wall storage unit for Seletti . Called  Suburbia , the unit is made of wood with brass detail and features a cork board, built-in mirror, hooks, shelving, and a selection of various sized cubbies to hold anything from pens, to makeup brushes, craft supplies, or even toys. If you look closely, you’ll see that the entire unit resembles an aerial view of a town. Each cubby represents a house or sections of a building. So cute!

Did you watch the season premiere of Mad Men last night? It was just over two hours of our favorite characters in their chic outfits and crisp mid-century modern decor. I only watched about half of it, but will definitely be watching the second half tonight.

I found these adorable paper dolls of Joan and Megan from Mad Men Illustrated via How about Orange. If you’re a Mad Man fan, take a look at the Illustrated site – there are tons of fun illustrated scenes.

What did you think of last night’s episode? Any new modern decor worth watching for?
