one man's trash is another man's treasure

Eliana Venier, creator of Alienina (Italian for “alien life on Earth”) takes unconventional scraps and beautifully crafts them into fashionable accessories. Aiming to inspire people to look beyond trash and garbage, this line is comprised of geometrical shapes, stunning neutral colours and literally, raw materials. These are absolutely amazing, and I have fallen in love with each and every piece in this Spring Summer 2011 collection.

Patrick Stephan- Spring/ Summer 2011 Menswear Collection

Punk rock meets the Ken Doll....

Patrick Stephen's talented use of minimalistic  and baggy shapes, neutral colours, and simplistic design leads to a beautiful menswear collection perfect for Spring Summer 2011. Preppy is back in, but Stephan makes preppy collide with edgy in this modern infused set of outfits. Each look is comprised of trendy, versatile pieces that can be worn as a whole, or styled on its own to fit your personal sense of fashion. In this collection, these pieces include blazers, trenches, scarves, plain tees and messenger bags.

In my opinion, men look sexier when they know how to dress, but look a tad messy (on purpose of course...)

its not even legitimate...

I searched long and hard for this, and I barely found it.
This is absolutely my new favourite song from Drake and Rihanna...

Endulge in a Little Sin on Sunday...

A Set of Drawers that Change to Fit Your Mood

Mickaël De Santos

Nearly mirroring an optical illusion, this set of drawers remind me of a psychedelic glimpse of the '80s in 2010. They are expertly crafted and the glossy, red wooden embellisments can be shifted to create a funky look that fits your mood on a particular morning.
