Maslo Jewelry is the perfect reminder that simple shapes are just plain the best. Virginia-based designer Nicole Maslowski incorporates vintage findings, dead stock materials, vintage chains, costume jewelry, as well as gold, brass and silver into her works. And I can’t find one piece that wouldn’t fit seamlessly into my wardrobe. (via Wit & Delight)

With the presidential election only a few weeks away, this project seems especially timely. Branding the Presidents of the United States is an ongoing graphics project by Meg Jannott to push her own creativity and give all 44 presidents a branded identity. I’d say it’s going smashingly.

Right off the bat there are a couple of pretty fantastic things about this recipe. First, it’s easy and delicious. (Duh.) Second, You can essentially use whatever vegetables or cheese you have on hand, or whichever you like best. Third, it’s just as delicious cold as it is hot. Versatility is a big selling point for any recipe that makes itself a regular in my kitchen, and this one definitely has it.
Fire Roasted Tomato + Veggie Orzo with Asiago
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1 large minced shallot
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 2 zucchini diced into matchsticks
• 1 C halved grape tomatoes
• 2 C uncooked orzo
• 1 (14.5 oz) can fire roasted diced tomatoes
• 3/4 cup grated Aiago cheese
Melt butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the minced shallots and garlic, sauté until fragrant. Then add the zucchini to the pan and continue to sauté until softened. In the meantime, cook the orzo according to the package or until al dente. Stir in the fire roasted diced tomatoes and heat through. Turn off heat and incorporate grape tomatoes and cheese. Lastly, toss in the orzo. And now you’re done and ready to serve four people.
When artists use their talents to give back I swear my heart grows three sizes. Hannah Rowlands is using hers to support Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and the animals who are there waiting for their forever homes. For £12 (about $19.50 US) Hannah will draw a custom portrait of your dog and donate £10 of the proceeds. She’s accepting order requests until December, the perfect gift for a dog lover!

Pantone, Apple, and neon. Three of my favorite things all rolled into one! These PANTONE UNIVERSE and Case Scenario iPhone 4S/4 cases came into my life at the exact moment I was starting my annual case replacement search. They’re a little thinner than previous ones I’ve owned, but that hasn’t compromised the safety of my phone and my clumsy ways one bit. In fact, I hardly notice it’s there which is nice. I snagged the neon pink for myself, and you can get your own Apple.com or an Apple retail store. Which is your favorite neon?
