Allison Arieff
Browser Bookmarks is a regular feature where we ask a notable
creative to lay down an electronic cookie crumb trail into
their minds. This issue, TENbyTEN asked Allison Arieff, Editor
in Chief of Dwell magazine and author of the books Prefab
and Trailer Travel: A Visual History of Mobile America, to
show readers what sites she just can’t live without.
In addition to “no duh” sites for a woman at the
helm of a shelter magazine—Design Observer and Archinect—Arieff
surprises with secret delights like Dogster (where she’s
posted a page on Wally, her adorable cairn terrier) and the
gossip blog Gawker. Links to Arieff’s favorite sites
appear on TENbyTEN’s website, www.tenbyten.net, for
easy navigation.
