Cut Up Complete Technique

Everything that has anything to do with sowing is something I am going to want! So no wonder I am on the verge of purchasing these tiny scissors from Complete Technique!

My Friend Eva a.ka. Madame Papillon is a trendsetter at heart, and I love the scissor she always wears around her neck! So I think we can say this idea is not exactly 'new', but too cute not to blog about.

So checkerdiecheck the website and find more mini versions of different custom made objects like stereo boxes, headphones, 45 adapters, head shells and walk mans worn by various artists, shall I say: Common, Quest love, Black Thought, Mos Def, Swiss Beats etc. Strange though.. I haven't seen them wearing these scissors. Not so up to date are we??!

McQueen Samurai Skull

Once again I have fallen in love, my heart is pounding and it won't stop! My hands are sweaty and shaking, why wont it stop! Why?! Maybe because I have been dreaming dark dreams where I had this dramatic Avant-Garde Samurai Skull Clutch from Alexander McQueen, and I dropped it in a well! I know, I know... Weird!

It is a shame I can only dream of this black silk-satin box clutch with gold beads and sequins... The Samurai inspiration is well thought out, and I never ever expected less from this genius. My skull addiction has grown even more. Let's break that Piggy Bank!

Chao And Eero

Chao And Eero created a very nice collection of simple but well thought out jewelry. The Finland based designers are a great example of two people with different styles who are able to put both their marks on the designs, and end up with a line for people who love quirky basics.

The smiley ring must be my all time favorite. A simple idea that makes you think 'Why didn't I think of that!'... Well... Why didn't I think of that!

Available in many countries and webshops, and that makes me a happy camper!

We Are Handsome!!

We Are Handsome made my day. This makes me want to wear swimwear, and as all of my friends know, I do not like swimwear!

The new collection, The Memoirs, of this young Australian brand (only started in 2009 by Indhra Chagoury and Jeremy Jules Somers) is one for the imaginative. The dreamy and wild prints are one of a kind. The wolves, air balloons, beaches, horses and winter resort landscapes are shown in bright and easy going colours with a touch of magic. Finally a brand who likes to play with prints (because come on! We really never see prints like these), and gave them all special names (more love), The Bather, The Dreamer, The Protector, The Knight and The Destination. I'll just consider myself a Protector and a Dreamer ;-)...

P.S. All the prints are also used for the winter collection. Yes!

Emmanuel Bossuet's Couture Busts

Emmanuel Bossuet of EEM Agency collaborated with Stockman and created these graphic black and white busts for us to drool over. A Paris based art director with a great love for all non colors (as I call it).

He had the privilege to start working as a graphic consultant at Philip Starck's, he soon after started EEM as an agency, where he started developing and designing one-of-a-kind projects.
In the past studios such as Martine Sitbon and Sonia Rykiel used his creativity as decorative designer for their labels.

Limited edition of 10 pieces of each style - 2200 euros

Available at Le Bon Marché - Rive Gauche, Paris (And if you can not afford it, like me, you can see the 3 original busts at Le Bon Marché)

NYC Work Trip

Sorry! I have been neglecting my blog! So, from now on I will be punctual as usual, and wright and wright till my fingertips get blue (or red, I think...)

So in the meantime I have been quite busy, two weeks ago I went to New York for 4 days. I am sorry to say that this wasn't for pleasure, but for work... And with work I mean... SHOPPING! Yes, every girls dream! I maxed out the company credit card, buying jewelry and vintage inspiration accessories. Much fun I must say, but also (and I am still not complaining) very tiring! But the inspiration I took back with me is priceless...

Pixie Market, Cutie Pie, Anthropology, Free People, Patricia Field... Pfff I have raided them all! Shopping in Brooklyn and Manhattan is my newest hobby (what a shame that it is one of my most expensive hobbies) And I did have some time to shop for myself (Uhm, I made time ^_^)... A little recap of NYC below...

P.S. Jake and Karen, thank you for letting me crash at your lovely homes ;-)...
