The Thing About Obsessions

If you know me and my blog, you know that we are hardcore into cool products. I've been a maniac on Pinterest since forever (remember when I tried to make you all join back in October 2010?), I've worked on product roundups for Herman Miller's Lifework blog for a little over two years, and I've been doing my "Daily Dash" column off and on here at M-Dashing for a good long while now.

So, anyway, you know: you get it. I'm always on the hunt for this stuff. It's like a sickness, really. A sweet, sweet, very expensive sickness.

Several weeks back, my sick self got invited to be part of Currently Obsessed, a shopping network that lets bloggers recommend products to readers in return for a small referral fee. Once I reviewed the whole thing -- including the kind stores it supports (basically, all the places I shop at anyway) and who else was participating (heavy-hitters like Oh Joy!, Mrs. Lilien, Little Brown Pen, and Sweet Fine Day) -- I was sold on the idea.

But, of course, I certainly want to be transparent about it all! That said, on occasion, if I come across a good find that I want to share, it may appear in a Daily Dash post. I will also be posting picks regularly over on the right-hand side of this blog under the title "Obsessed." I will pin some items to this board on Pinterest (there's also a full-disclosure there). And in addition, you can "stalk" me at Currently Obsessed itself (it's much like Pinterest).

Whew! So there you go. If you have questions or concerns, please do leave me a comment. And if you're a blogger who would like to be recommended, drop me a line.

2 Things that Make a Sweaty Day Tolerable

Cold lemonade from Brooklyn Soda Works at the Brooklyn Flea and Kristin's homemade mint chocolate-chip ice cream. Both worth the venture out into this suddenly summery, two-shower, sunburned-neck kind of Saturday.

ICFF 2012: Lighting, Lighting, Lighting

The International Contemporary Furniture Fair is back in the city, and I took a look over the weekend. The product that filled my camera lenses more than anything else this go 'round? Desk lamps, pendant lighting, and sconces. Oh, the lighting! Here are some gems I spotted...

UM Project's stunning L.U.M. desk lamps (that polished copper shade is calling my name).


The sexy Osiris Chandelier by Matthew Fairbank Design.

Hello there, Delaney Light Works.


Tokyo, a perfectly proportioned little lighter from Misewell.

TOPAN suspension lighting by Ameico Industries.


Lightweight wood picks from Argentina's Weplight.


Striking work (as always) by Lindsey Adelman.


Iacoli & McAllister. Yes.

 I know, right? All those colored cords! (Pablo Designs. Talk to them about it.)
