Start the day off on the right note

Nothing says morning like a piece of toast jumping in a toaster. 

The Day Maker, a bedside phone charger/alarm hub 

lets you know it’s time to rise and shine 

with a little added spring from your phone alarm.

And if you're not quite ready to face the day.... snooze on effortlessly by

pushing your little slice of digital heaven back into its tray.

It may not make waking up any easier

but... 

it's definitely an awesome way to roll out of bed in the morning

Louboutin's Spring/Summer Tour

Christian Louboutin is playing the role of fairy shoe-mother for his 2011 Spring/ Summer Line.

Christian Louboutin has partnered with photographer Khoung Nguyen 
to create a perfect combination of

dream and fantasy propelling vivid and artsy imagery for the s/s 2011 line.

The S/S 2011 Ad Campaign is really creatively designed.

Each photo showcases how dreamy Louboutin shoes are &&&

 the photos look like they want to tell us different stories.

Louboutin decided not to use models and instead chose to depict his collection in an artistic way. 

He doesn't need beautiful models to sell his shoes 

since his shoes are simply beautiful by themselves.

The shoes are depicted in their natural habitat.   

Christian Louboutin has  created a sexy fusion between art & fashion

This Ad Campaign is not the usual shoe campaign but then again

 Christian Louboutin's aren't the usual pair of shoes. 

Brown Bagging It

The “Picnic Bag” by Marie Turnor

 

Marie Trunor's "Picnic Bag" is based on the ubiquitous brown paper lunch bag.

Unlike a regular paper lunch bag..

The Picnic bag can carry all your feminine essentials in your hand,

 or under your arm and you wont have to worry about it ripping. 

The Picnic bag is made of soft & supple Italian Calf 

&&& it rolls at the top and features a hidden magnetic closure. 

The bags purpose is to  not only look like you've been carrying your lunch all day

but also to update the old brown paper lunch bag in to a modern fashion accessory. 

&&& 

for those of you who need a slightly bigger lunch sack Marie Turnor has also designed a 

                                                                                                     dinner clutch.

A larger version of the Picnic clutch with an inside pocket.                                                                     
Made of the same soft, crinkly leather.

An Apple A Day

Hermès  Style

Hermès has created an apple holder

 meant for carrying your fruit in literally the most high fashion way possible.

Composed of Granny Smith green lambskin leather 

with no visible stitching.

The French design house made sure this accessory

 has the same high quality craftsmanship 

of its other major statement pieces like the Birkin and the Kelly.

&&& 

since fruit dominated the runways from Stella McCartney to Prada this season...

 it is totally on trend.

Plus...

 The handle contains a knife holder and an actual horn knife

so nobody can accuse it of having fashion without function.

(File this one under: things you never knew you needed.)

Gender Blurring

      Black 

           Masculine

      White

                          Feminine

Two sets of contrasts that form

                     the styling foundation of a classic & sexy style.

&&& the key to recreating that androgynous 

balance is to pick the right elements.

for the masculine elements:

tailored wide leg pants, tuxedo jackets and men's hats

for the Feminine balance:
lingerie-inspired fitted bodysuits, long back skirts, 

heels &&& feminine jewellery 

                                        to juxtapose the look.
