I had a dream this morning that I was shooting outside with hot air balloons. As my models walked across the street we came across another set and I immediately recognized Roversi. I stopped my crew and went over to introduce myself. The dream makes me realize just how much I regret not contacting him via his people while I was in Paris. Just to see if designed by the stars I could have gotten an audience with him. I will not pass up the opportunity twice.

This spread is one of my favorites.

W Magazine is the only one I have a subscription to, monthly never disappointed. All my other glossy addictions have to prove themselves before I buy them. With the economy hit hard and Polaroid hit harder, more shoots of his are surfacing but not as many have the imaginative caliber, light experimentation and color that make his others so fantastic.

Still solid work, don't get me wrong, just not as exciting.

Yet, he really can't go wrong with Alex White. I love everything that is produced between the two. I hope one day to have the opportunity, just once, to shoot with her. She does amazing things with W.

Enjoy your Sunday, especially you Shevaun.

This commercial cracks me up!
And of course I clicked on "I WANT GIRAFFE".
This is a screen shot of my place on the waiting list. :)

Yay, I can't wait!!! :)
There is no way this is for real (the giraffes at all) but I can't help being giddy excited!!!!
Happy Friday!

Chewing the Cud Fabric Wrap

From Chewing the Cud. Fantastic name and I love this idea. Wrapping gifts with gifts. I generally wrap with comic strips but this is way cooler. Love the messages too. Read here for a step by step of a rose topped gift.

Me likey and brings me to a new fab phenom brought to light...the moving gif. Check out their site and you will see some moving images. Anthropologie is on the bandwagon too with their current online catalogue. Seems to be the cool new thing.
Does anybody know how this works? I get the jist but the logistics I'm still toying with.
Let me know.
Bisous.

Tree Bookcase

I've been toying with a tree design for a bookcase in Luna's room. She could then have her books and her stuffed animals on display with easy access. I really want to make her one of those kid teepees too to put next to it.
Here are some great tree inspired bookcases.

All of these images below are Carpanelli designs. Oh my word how I feel in love with them! They are like modern Art Nouveau pieces. The craftsmanship, the ingenuity, the elegance, I even love the artwork in the show images, the pheasants and the black and gold cityscape. Look at the amazing stage set for the tree inspired bookcase below, I could do with a little less floor showing but it is superb.
