The last time I did a display investigation was in October , so it’s about time for a Decemberist shop window survey of Ponsonby Road, AKL. Things are a bit low key here but there’s still some cuteness to be seen!
From top to bottom: Mason’s Men’s Store, Mei Mei, Widdess (with the cute lil knitted [...]
Check out these teeth gnashingly good pieces of zipper costume jewellery made by Kate Cusack:
I do like - they remind me of corals and sea anemones! However what really stands out is the use of zips as an object of beauty in their own right, rather than for pure function.
“In art school,” Kate explained, “I [...]
There is nothing better than sitting around watching roaring flames or glowing embers… it’s an event for all seasons too! On the beach, or in a cabin or even at home. If you have a little outdoor area, it’s not too much effort to procure a little brazier for some good quality fire time. My [...]
Pretend photoshop - the desktop for the ultimate ‘made by hand’ afficiando! It’s interesting to think that for so long we have been re-interpreting life in a digital format; and now we’re moving back to tangibly translating the digital. This set on flickr shows the making of the poster. I love it!
Ahh, such gorgeous hairy men! There is something to be said for well kept facial hair. It denotes that the wearer (beard farmer, mo owner?) is a conscientious sort of chap with the right attitude towards style.
If you need a few tips on getting your own facial forest up to scratch, the commenters at Life [...]
Recently I’ve become a gym convert. Which is completely out of character, I know… My enthusiasm is all down to one magic device however - the Creative Zen Stone! Petite, slinky and pared down (this picture is lager than life size!). Play, pause and volume, it’s all you need to let the sound wash [...]
Sadly, I will never have the opportunity to personally enjoy the made to measure services of Crane Brothers. However, watch out if you plan on marrying me because that’s where I will bundle you off! They’re an Auckland based men’s outfitters. They have a true handmade ethos, supported by their skilled in house tailors.
I love [...]
Jo’s fresh new site Eye Heart Glasses is already locked and loaded as a favourite of mine. It’s a look at what’s cute, sexy and cool in the world of eye-wear. You should go check it out now! Jeepers, creepers, where did you get those peepers?
Here’s one of my recent favourite gal with glasses shots [...]
Jitensha is the Japanese word for bicycle! And the name of my round up of pretty bike things. Good news, I have received a pair of hot pink Oury grips in the post, to complete the outlandishly girly look for my steed.
Overall, the look is not quite as retina burning as the image below, but [...]
I was cruising new album release lists, hoping to spend imaginary money/get some inspiration from album art. In doing so, I noticed a rather common theme…
CSS - Donkey
Keane - Perfect Symmetry
Armin Van Buuren - A State of Trance 2008
Of course, there are some classic covers too!
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of The Moon
Tomita - [...]
