hello swing

the FIRST thing i want to install in my home... when i have one :)

holy moly

jeeese this is incredible. it is the handy work of uponafold. made completely out of paper. too cool.

holga d

gaash this is too cool. the holga d. a design concept from saikat biswas, this holga is (dum dum dummm) digital. the cool thing is that it maintains every bit of holga-ness possible (just minus the film part). more here. ooh i hope they make this guy for real :)

hello cute

some lovely inspiration for this happy thursday morning. tabitha emma is a designer in sydney. she makes very sweet textile things, and draws very nicely too.

homage

heartfelt

these mixed media pieces from andy luce are just too divine. deep honest and oh so beayoutiful.

' i wait, resting on your chest - waiting. a hunger and thirst for peace' 

'what is love. its a sigh of relief for the weary and a chronicled testament of grace'

'when my heart beats and overflows - it does so because it has been filled to the brim. it searches and longs to be touched. to grow. to love and to express its imagination, its creativity.'

heart

the ring reminder. this is too cute. designed by patricia naves, it's based on the idea of tying a ribbon around your finger or wrist to remind you of something important. this delicate little number comes in 18k gold or sterling silver (silver pleeease!).

how sweet

i adore this idea from shanna murray. pretty wall decals to have some fun with at home. love them on the blackboard too.

how cute

love love love these. they're wooden necklaces from emedemarta. always room for another heart, but the tash one is just too cute.

heart

totally adore this little necklace from shanalogic.

heart

in love with this ring ♥

helvistica

two of my favorite things. nuff said.

hard truth

this informational brochure is a design by changzhi lee. its purpose? to raise awareness about the effects of global warming. and it quite beautifully demonstrates its cause. it forms an iceberg, complete with little polar bears. but as you unfold it to reveal the information, the iceberg melts and leaves the bears swimming for their lives. all the mundane hoohaa about global warming we are flooded with has become a sort of white noise today. a simple and alluring design like this really makes you stop and think about your own footprint.

harajuku lovers

these harajuku lovers fragrances are divine. ok ok they've been around for a little while now, but i recently got one as a gift and i just adore it. the concept (yes there is one) behind them is pretty cool too. the word harajuku comes from a style or attitude displayed by girls from harajuku, tokyo. anything goes. outrageous. layered. eye-catching. the five dolls in the series represent gwen and her four back up dancers - love, angel, music and baby. also the title of her album. each fragrance offers something different. the range has done so well that an entire harajuku lovers clothing brand and even limited edition harajuku lovers 'snow' fragrances (the girls are dressed for the winter cold) are available. adorable.

how cute

thought this was a novel idea. made by dr wow lab. it looks mighty tempting, but unfortunately - or would that be fortunately? probably fortunately - its not edible. It is a "chocolate" (actually wax) magnet. what is particularly nice about it is that it can be broken up like a real slab, and used to suit your requirements. pretty cute.
