Confessions of a Bookplate Junkie
Confessions of a Bookplate Junkie is exactly what it sounds like: miles and miles of vintage book plates— some of them hand-colored and hand-lettered, all of them exquisite. This is one tradition worth reviving.

Allston Store Opening
Tomorrow night, a new Urban Outfitters opens in Allston at 226 Harvard Ave. How do we celebrate? With a party, of course. Come by between 6-8pm to catch a live DJ set by Taylor Walker and a performance by The Appreciation Post (above). Ten percent of the profits from opening weekend benefit the Coolidge Corner Theater, Boston's famed indie movie house.
Martha Lewis
According to the artist, Martha Lewis's paintings deal with bacterial systematics, gene expression, seed development, hybridization, the tropical stratosphere and liquidity. May we also add: lollipops!

Sleep No More
In an abandoned school, British theatre company Punchdrunk has set up Sleep No More, an interactive installation that's a classic Shakespearean tale (MacBeth) told through the lens of a Hitchcock movie. It comes with a warning that the production contains both strobe lights and nudity, so we're totally sold.
LightLane
LightLane was developed by designers at Altitude to encourage commuting by bike. The device attaches to the back of your bike frame and an illuminated bike lane appears instantly. Although the LightLane isn't available to the public just yet, this product will give bikers the space they need on those all too many roads without bike lanes.
Kayu Sunglasses
Sunglasses are a must for summer (um, and for hangovers) and we're digging these over-sized shades by Kayu. The frames are handcrafted from sustainable bamboo, and for each pair purchased, Kayu donates $50 to help fund a sight-restoring surgery in the developing world.
Aloud
Maybe you just watched that rad mountain bike video that we posted. And maybe, like we were, you were like "WTF is this awesome song?" Well, we did the research for you: "Fan the Fury," by Aloud. More, please.
You Call It Being Poor
You Call It Being Poor, I Call It Being Free is a group show with work by Andrew Lauman, David Whitaker, Justin Kelly and Mikaylah Bowman at FiveSevenDelle in Mission Hill, curated by Andrew Lauman and Ian Colon. Catch it while you can.
Le Whif
What if all it took to get over that mid-afternoon slump was a whif? No, not a hit—a whif. (Via We Heart Stuff.)
Blue-Q Little Bird Vase
Plastic bird whistles were a party favor staple, and Blue-Q's replica Little Bird Vase is so tweeting cute!
