Fancy Friday; Black Edition

As a Social Media Manager, I spend hours on end scouring the web and falling in love with so many different things that I come across. Sometimes these 'things' don't fit into any category but are uniquely wonderful on their own. Whether it's a beautiful design, a cool product or a website that is worthy of sharing, Fancy Friday is a weekly round-up of those 'things' I fancy.

Here we go:

1. Think Outside the Box: I love this print from Scribble. Not only meant for creatives, I think this saying can apply to anyone. Don't always think about the obvious- remind yourself to step outside the box and explore. You never know what you'll find! (18 x24. Double hit of Black for super blackness, $19)

2. Ping Pong Table: This Limited Edition Ping Pong Table by James Perse is sleek! Anyone who knows me well, knows I LOVE a good game of ping pong. Unlike the standard 'green', a black & wood version is mighty fine. It's hand-crafted from environmentally farmed solid teak, and even serves as a dining or conference table. Simply remove the net & cover it with an optional teak table top and you're ready to get functional. It even comes with branded paddles & balls. I'd love to play on this!

3. iMemo Sticky Notepad: This iPhone notepad is a little silly, BUT for those of you who are addicted to your devices, you can now write on what feels like your phone. Sure, it doesn't do anything cool like take pictures or make phone calls, but sometimes it's good to unplug & use the classic pen & paper duo. (Pack of 2, $15)

4. Flat Top: I love this look! This polish by Deborah Lippmann gives any nail lacquer a quick makeover with a cool matte finish. It also protects your nails from chipping & fading. (0.5 oz. bottle, $20)

5. Two Person Umbrella: If you're like me, you're probably thinking "COOOOOL! I WANT THAT!" because we've all been there. 2 people + 1 (normal) umbrella = not a good combo. Let's face it, some of us are umbrella hogs and therefore, my hair gets wet & it ain't cool. This is the ultimate umbrella & you won't care to share ever again! Who would have thought I'd get so excited over an umbrella? ($60)

6. Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe: Dedicated to a certain someone (yes you!) Inside jokes are not fun for everyone BUT can't I make an exception? Besides...have you heard this song? Weird & catchy...the worst! In all seriousness, you can actually buy this shirt if you'd like. ($30)7. Black Dyed Pencils: A pencil is a pencil, but you've got to admit that these black ones have a really cool & bold look. I don't even remember the last time I held a pencil but I want these. ($.99)8. Bluetooth iPhone Dock by Native Union: This dock is sleek & ideal for taking calls at home or at the office. It keeps your conversations crystal clear & reduces up to 99% of radiation absorbed from your mobile phone. Not only that, but you can leave your phone charging in an area with the strongest signal and be able to walk away. So convenient! ($99.99)
