Until recently, collages just remind us of our dreary tween years. Teen magazine fonts, stock photography and young superstars adorned our bulletin board, bedroom door and locker, and were about as much expression as our our depressing angst-ridden teen years could muster. Cringeworthy. 

We’ve already expressed our love of Jonathan Adler items, but this collage pillow takes the cake! The canvas, 22″ screen-printed pillow is a chic, surreal version of our version of collages.

We’d trade our scissors and glue sticks for one any day.

You may or may not have seen this amazing CD at Starbucks during your last visit.

We saw it, over and over, and refrained from purchasing because it’s weird to spend more than $6 at Starbucks. But yesterday, the photo of our man Freddie on the front of the Glam Revolution album was just too glorious to bear, and we broke down. Thank god we did, because it’s the BEST.CD.EVER. 

A collection of songs from amazingly opulent rock gods sounds too good to be true, but it actually does exist. Not only does it compile the greatest of the greatest, it has an awesome little book of trivia on these geniuses, and the case folds out like a mini pop-up book. 

It’s getting to be sold out in most Starbucks’, so Killer Queens can buy it here.

Christmas music in October+A jam-packed agenda+A shopping list that’s already too long+A cocktail party you haven’t even started planning+A completely deflated stock portfolio, empty wallet and BUDGET for the holidays=BAH HUMBUG!

It’s a little much this year, are we right? Join us in cursing the holidays with these playful Kate Spade greeting cards. On the front they read “BAH HUM BUG” and inside they say “and a Happy New Year!”

Here’s hoping.

It’s odd how the cords that attach ipods to their computers are the antithesis of the pod itself.  Annoying, tangly, dirty, lost in your purse.  Just a plain old inconvenience.

Check out these adorable chicBuds! As awesome and efficient as ipods and iphones, these accompanying cords are compact, neat and tidy, and fashionable. Pick a pair up at fleur’t, or buy the “Techie Girl Kit” of both cords via the company Web site.

We’re at the mall the second the Halloween stuff goes on clearance (hello? 3-tier witch and pumpkin cookie server for $13?). And we’re always overcome by that hot-and-cold, confused, divided feeling when we see Christmas and Halloween decor side-by-side. 

But when our favorite Crate & Barrel employee pulled this little CB2 holiday Elf Candleholder up on her screen to show us, we dropped the BOO cookie cutters immediately and placed an order. Only $5.95 each, these adorable candleholders are a whole pound of cast iron each, and fit all standard tapers. Who wants pumpkins now, anyway?

What’s better than plain ol’ bubbly? Veuve. What’s better than Veuve? Veuve Rose. What’s better than Veuve Rose? This incredible, pink Veuve Globalight Egg, from the W Hotels Online Store, houses a bottle of our favorite bev.

Designed by famed master Karim Rashid, this mod light is a “reinterpretation of a traditional French chandelier, icon of romantic dinners and meaningful moments.” We don’t really see the connection, but we do see an awesome isotherm bottle carrier and amazing accessory that would add an interesting punch to any celebration. This $4,500 bad boy will keep a bottle of Veuve Rose cool for 4 hours and casts a soft glow on your party, no matter where it is.

How can you improve on a Veuvegg?

We sure love our S.O.’s, don’t we? We monogram ties, money clips, sweaters, jewelry and cover legal docs, prenups and even wedding cakes with their initials. Surely the new walls can’t be far behind!

We found this gorgeous decal shop on our favorite place to buy and sell handmade trinkets Etsy. The fun art comes in many colors and shapes, runs no more than $100, and can be peeled right off at the drop of a hat (or marriage).  

Here’s to semi-permanent love!

The slowing economy hasn’t slowed our yearning for MORE, MORE, MORE! But let’s be sensible here, our entire home can’t be imported or antique. 

While picking up a potted palm this weekend we found this incredible ottomon at ::cough:: Ikea. Sure it’s mass-produced and only $279, but it made us happy. And between the new plant and new cow, our living room literally seems alive.

Obama or McCain? Haus Modern Living is wondering who you’re banking on.  

These adorable banks help you pinch pennies amidst the hefty gas prices and climbing taxes, and declare your political preferences to the world. Johnathon Adler’s matte white ceramic pieces will only set you back $68, which is a total bargain.

Especially when compared to $700 billion.

Every magazine, doctor, news article and nutritionist says H2O is the way to go for good health, and no less than 8 cups per day.

Well we’ve been listening, and now have about 20 giant Evian bottles in the back seat of our Infiniti. We’ve gone from helping our parched bod to ruining the earth. Well, chiggity check this Fred Flare Pitcher Water Bottle, which look just gothic and cool enough to excuse our lame, uncontrollable chugging.
