Versace Cushions Online

An investment? Not sure about this one but I have to say these cushions that are available online from Versace are amazing. I think at the price they are asking for these I would want to wear them.

Hilton McConnico for Paristic

Hilton McConnico stickers for Paristic
Fantastically clever stickers by Hilton McConnico for Paristic in France. Take a really close look. I love the relationship to typeface design but using really clever wording.

A Set of 3 Prints

3 prints from maisons du monde
I love these new prints from Maisons du Monde. The clever thing is that the 3 make a whole which is a book.

The Last Supper But Rusty

the last supper by studio job
Shown at Milan last week these Rusty Dishes called The Last Supper by Studio Job.
To think I spent months trying to get rust off my cast iron pans years ago and look how great they would have been if I had left them alone.

Something Fishy From Lulu Guinness

Spring/Summer 09 lulu guinness
I have a few make up bags and shoppers by Lulu Guinness and they are all beautifully made. These are from her new Spring/Summer 09 Collection. I am strangely drawn to the fishy theme here.

It's elegant, it's diverse, it's sleek, it's comfortable, it's black and silver, it's called The Divine Lounger, it's a limited edition and it's not mine it's by Ventury in France.

Measuring Time

How long is your day? Now you can measure it literally. As I get older my days fly by so I'm not sure that I really need one of these to remind me. By Burak Kaynak

Things You Just Didn't Know You Needed

I have a little mission every few months where I visit Suck UK and take a look at their new designs. I am never disappointed. This time I found a bathroom mirror with it's own windscreen wiper and a pencil sharpener you keep your pens in.

From Marissa V

I found this little dress at From Marissa V which is based in San Fransisco. I love the fact that it's tough and feminine all at the same time and the fact that it can worn all year round - on it's own in the summer and with a jumper under in the winter. More kids designers should do this.

Frieda Maria - It's All Dutch To Me

Frieda Maria Rotterdam
Frieda Maria is based in Rotterdam and that's about all I know. I have put some of the copy from their website into Babelfish but it makes no more sense in English than it does in Dutch. Whatever they do it's good according to the fabulous images that are on their site. Take a look and come back to me if you understand it or if you are Dutch. Thanks.

UPDATE: Click into my comments and read LiLi M's comment, it is amazing. Lili M is Dutch and has gone to great lengths to translate the website and it's fascinating stuff. Thanks LiLi.

Work In Progress

ghost furniture work in progress
It's a good job we extended our cottage as I am surrounded by pieces of Ghost Furniture that I am in the process of making. I keep promising myself to only work on one thing at a time but when the ideas flow I just have to do it. Watch this space for the finished versions.

Biba at Top Shop

Biba at Top Shop
I have a thing about over sized graphics, I love them and wasn't disappointed when I saw that the new collection by Barbara Hulanicki (she of Biba) for Top Shop contained these fabulous pieces.
Whenever I walk through Top Shop the fashions always remind me of Biba of the 60s - yes I am old enough to remember that. Don't you just love her fashion illustrations?
Launches 28th April - go and see the preview here
By the way that white TShirt will be mine come 28th April
