(ELLE.com) – Three new sites on the net offer cool and kitsch
products for the hip urban dweller. From pre-packaged plants to
designer eyecharts and red leopardskin computer covers, find the
latest must-haves in ELLE.com’s Decor News and Trends.
Plants in the City
It's never been a
better time to think green! Cityyard.com's website encourages city
dwellers to get gardening with ultra cool and functional garden
products designed for the cramped and often sunless urban lifestyle.
The site specializes in products such as prepackaged dirt and plants
that prosper in offices, dimly lit rooms, or on high rise rooftops
or balconies. Just add a little water to 'Canned Land,' a small tin
with pre-fertilized grass seed, and you'll have a bit of turf on
your desktop in a couple of days. Order this and other cool products
directly from the site at www.cityyard.com or in stores across the
US.
UK Rules in Home
Decor
Contemporary chic, kitsch cool, cult classics…some of
the most outlandish objects for the home can be found at
www.inhabit.co.uk. The super-easy to navigate site features about a
hundred products that will make great conversation pieces at your
next ultra-hip soirée. Try the lighted eyechart lettered with lyrics
from the Doors' 'Light My Fire,' or candles that come in tins with
the anti-smoking logo printed on the lid.
Wrap Star
Be the hippest (or most
eccentric) thing to hit your office with C-Wrap.com's on-line
collection of computer wear. The fashionable togs for computers may
look somewhat silly, but are great as a gift for anyone who thinks
the new Ruby iMacs are already passé. Check out the whimsical images
of the silky blue Hawaii wraps, or the colorful 'red leopard' styles
at www.cwraps.com.
