Eva Mendes wants you to have a fabulous experience in your bedroom -- by buying her new line of bedding at Macy's.

Her collection, named Vida, is Latin-inspired, as you'll see in the patterns and details, and there will be five styles to choose from. The idea behind it is "easy luxury, said Mendes, adding, "The colors, fabrics, and textures that I live and love, brought to life in a stylish, comfortable, and affordable way."

By affordable, she doesn't exactly mean Wal-Mart prices. You'll need to shell out $340 to $425 for a four-piece queen set. But hey, we know a lot of people who would pay a lot more to get in between Eva Mendes' sheets!

We know, it's still summer, but before long school will be starting and Victoria's Secret wants you to be ready, hence the Pink Collegiate Collection.

Victoria's Secret describes PINK as "a fully articulated lifestyle collection for young women" and "includes 9 different items, including fleece pants, hoodies, panties, tees, and totes... available in approximately 375 stores, many of which are in close proximity to the universities in the program." Thanks to a partnership with The Collegiate Licensing Company there are 33 schools featured thus far and more (hello, Arizona?) will be added shortly.

Seattle based Kate Quinn Organics, previously known as Earth Organic Baby Basics, is a parent's dream. That is assuming said parent wants "the softest, most natural materials" for their baby's comfort, and "the highest quality design and construction, and most importantly, the hope of a cleaner, kinder earth." If the parent wants all that, and you know that they do, then they can't go wrong with Kate Quinn.

The designs are created using "simple, elegant lines" and are available in nature-inspired hues to highlight the natural beauty of a child.

Wild Dill was created by Jennifer who signs her bio "Wife and Mother of Wild Men." We love that. She created Wild Dill to reflect the "sense of curiosity and wonder for everything that is natural and wild." They "carry only natural, organic, fair trade, made in the USA/Europe, or recycled clothing, toys, bedding and furniture for babies and toddlers."

All of it is wonderful. See for yourself:

Comfy Cozy makes stuff that glows in the dark. That's their thing, like drinking too much in public is mine. Everyone has their niche.

One of their more popular items is the glow in the dark pillowcase. By day the cases feature a picture on them that is bright and colorful, and you know what happens when the lights go out. That's when the magic happens. It's business time.

I am a parent of two small boys and they would love something like this. It would make the transition away from the nightlight all the easier. However, when I saw this product I didn't think about my kids. I thought about me, walking through the dark after a midnight diaper change using my iPhone as a flashlight and how nice it would be to have a beacon to guide me back to bed. I also thought about how handy it would be coming home late at night to have a large glowing sign saying "lay your drunk-ass head here." I could crawl right into bed without waking the wife. This damn pillowcase could save my marriage! (I usually think of my kids first, I swear.)

Comfy Cozy, you make a swell product here, and I'm sure the kids think it is awesome, but you're missing an untapped market (don't forget my cut).

So you told yourself that you'd try to "tread more lightly" on the earth this year. You put recycling bins in your kitchen for aluminum, glass and plastic, you bought a Prius, and you're buying locally-, sustainably-grown organic produce. Nice job.

In your home, you can also go a little more eco-friendly with bamboo bedding. Bamboo, as we have mentioned before, is considered eco-chic because it's a renewable source (it grows very very fast). Bamboo is also a bit of a luxury (is that an oxymoron?) because it's as soft as cashmere. Cuddledown has bedding made from 61% bamboo, 32 % cotton, 6 % cashmere that creates a very durable, highly absorbent and breathable set of sheets that also has a luscious, graceful drape. Do good, and sleep good!

The sheets and pillowcases are ivory with chainstitched embellishments in ivory, garnet, or gold.
