The Messenger Bag

I bought this men’s bag after searching for a women’s crossbody that was large enough to fit a laptop, and finding very few options that fit those two simple criteria. However, calling this bag a “mes

Cat Alarm Topiary (C.A.T.)

The original SkyMall product I picked was the Cat Topiary, which was simply meant to serve as a feline garden decoration. The first visual alterations I made included darkening up the moss to give it

I stole this poster off a bulletin board in the Sackler Museum because it really caught my eye. The paper has a slightly brown color and is thin but textured, feeling a bit like a paper bag, while all

The Best Bagel

As part of our group’s “Ultimate Starch Attack”, I taste tested 6 bagels from different cafes in Harvard Square. To make judging fair, I ordered a plain, untoasted bagel (cut in half) from each restau

Pillowcase

I chose to make my pillowcase out of the simple, cream-colored fabric because of its clean look. I could also dye/draw on it in the future if I’m feeling ~creative~.

While I don’t love the design of this gum packet, it has a really nice tactile feeling with design elements in different finishes. The “Wrigley’s” is in black and subtly embossed, and the concentric c

These are my Bowers & Wilkins C5 Series 2 headphones and they are the best (and most expensive) pair of headphones I’ve ever owned. One of their super unique features is the black loop made up of part

Pop Sneakers

We decided to rethink the trends that a 20-year-old male would sport and where those trends are heading, and went for a look that was more androgynous, colorful, and hip. With this bold floral pattern

I bought this calendar from the MOMA gift shop and brought it home because it is extremely fun to play with. The magnets holding the month marker are perfectly weighted, so one can play with it and th

These Nike Frees I ordered last year are far too pristine, not because of any flaw but because I’m bad at exercise. They are actually really well designed and super comfortable because of the flyknit

This arrived in the mail today as the result of an impulse purchase. It is the Bose SoundLink Mini II speaker and it’s fantastic for my morning routine playlist but probably terrible for my neighbors.

This is my trusty Brita filter that I believe makes our room’s bathroom sink water taste a bit better. The best part about it is that it is narrow enough to fit in the door of our mini fridge, and thu

This is one of those “easy” staplers that requires less force/muscle power to use. I don’t really think about how difficult some staplers can be when you’re trying to mash 20 pages together until I tr

I have carried this card wallet with me since freshman year and it certainly shows in terms of wear and tear. If I’m going someplace other than class, I usually only bring this and my phone, which has

Not sure how many of the houses have these swanky Herman Miller office chairs but shout out to Quincy for providing one in every room. The nicest part about these, besides the ability to roll around m
