Apparently Keira Knightley and her co-stars improvised their way through this thirteen minute short, making their lines up as they went along. The film celebrates 100 years for the French luxury brand, looking back at Coco’s first pret-a-porter shop in Deauville that was financed by her lover at the time, Arthur ‘Boy’ Capel. I’m not [...]
Camping on Mars? Seaside fun with views of Saturn? French artist Djuno Tomsni imagines the perfect summer vacation in outer space with his hand-made collages from vintage holiday brochures and photo albums. The good news is these otherwordly prints are available on Society6– that means you can order them in an array of different formats from pillow throws, [...]
Alright, so you might have noticed I have a weakness for French real estate p0rn. [Sigh] I don’t know why I do this to myself. Anyhoo, check out my latest find, a 19th century restored villa up for sale on the French riviera, which writer F. Scott Fitzgerald himself allegedly acquired for a summer, where [...]
Today I thought we could make a quick stop at Villa Pausa on the French Riviera, the former residence of none other than Coco Chanel, between 1929 to 1953. Last year it was snapped up by an anonymous buyer for a cool $50 million through Sotheby’s realty. I stumbled across their photographs of the property [...]
I‘m not an art buff. I just like what I like and save it as my desktop background image or, if I’m lucky, find a €20 poster of it somewhere that I can stick on my wall. Right now, I’m liking the work of Craig and Karl, the guys behind those sorta-like-Leichtenstein portraits with all [...]
If you have typography skills, obviously the next logical step is to just start illustrating designer label-dropping Hip Hop lyrics, right? Okay, so it’s a little random but a perfect excuse to ogle some beautiful typography on this fine morning by graphic designer Luke Skinner. His project “Luxury Rap” consists of his hand-drawn lettering in ink [...]
Waiter! There’s a Britney Spears in my coffee! (I knew that was going to be terrible but I did it anyway). We’ve seen hearts and even cat faces in our lattes made by baristas with an artistic flair– some good, some great, but I’ll bet you’ve never seen anything quite like these coffee portraits by [...]
It’s still a work in progress so I don’t have a whole stack of images but I really wanted to show you this photo manipulation series by Daniel Barreto, a 21 year-old Boston-based artist. From miniature dive bars with lights to cozy apartments built inside forest trees, it reminds me of a grown-up version of [...]
Shabby chic; it’s a style you either love or hate, but once you get over the copious amounts of velvet in this rather remarkable property, it might grow on you a little– especially the price! The 40-acre Magnolia Pearl Ranch in Bandera,Texas is made up of 18 independent structures and is currently on the market [...]
Seriously, we need to stop Facebook-ing our loved ones for their birthdays or when the holidays come around. But if you type E-card into Google, you’ll probably be faced with a lot of options that make you think you might just be better off posting on their Facebook wall. Enter Paperless Post. A beautiful e-card [...]
