It never fails that when I start looking for photos for fashion posts, I set out looking for bad fashion trends, but always get sucked into the vortex that is High-Fashion (aka: that artsy-fartsy stuff we see on the runways every year). What really got me looking was this: All of us have seen this by now, and most of us have thought the same thing (If you haven't, you might want to move along, mmmk?): So, I got to thinking about how we just tend to recycle our fashions from the past or

I think I want a couple of Seed lamps by our bed. This is what Northern Lighting writes about the lamp and the designer in the catalogue: Seed is a wall-mounted night lamp. Seed creates a unique reading environment through its filtered light source from a low watt energy saving LED.
