LEGO

I am going to do this!!



Parisian designers Simon Pillard and Philippe Rosetti took a bold approach with their kitchen by buying a basic IKEA kitchen island and covering it with more than 20,000 Lego pieces. Yes, twenty thousand of those tiny plastic things!

How they had the patience is beyond me but how rad.

Seven simple rules for a life in hiding:

Seven simple rules for a life in hiding:
One, never trust a cop in a raincoat.
Two, beware of enthusiasm and of love, each is temporary and quick to sway.
Three, if asked if you care about the world's problems, look deep into the eyes of he who asks, he will not ask you again.
Number four and five, never give your real name, and if ever told to look at yourself, never look.
Six, never say or do anything with the person standing in front of you cannot understand.
And seven, never create anything. It will be misinterpreted. it will chain you and follow you for the rest of your life, and it will never change

The Evolution Of The It Girl

For just about a century, girls all over the world have been making a name for themselves. How one becomes an it girl doesn't exactly have a definition; however over time the most recognizable it girls all have a few things in common. They have made a name for themselves through the over saturation of their name in the media; whether it be through a personal achievement or a drunken debauchery on the red carpet. Some of the it girls in this gallery are more "credible" then others. I was though that been called "the next it girl" is a curse, from edie sedgwick, lindsay lohan, paris hilton to um that chick on the OC haha this is my top "it girls we love to hate"

Mad about men

Madmen makes an impact...
Not since “Sex and the City,” has a television series had as much of an impact on the fashions that viewers are wearing as with the AMC drama “Mad Men”. Even fashion designers are getting on the “Mad Men” train – Michael Kors even singled out the show as being a direct influence for some of his designs. The sixties revival ushered in by the show’s lead character Don Draper has catapulted the series’ costume designer, Janie Bryant, to Patricia Field’s-eque status and Bryant, who has already designed limited edition pieces for a variety of retailers, has now signed an agreement with Matchbook Company.



The agreement was established to obtain licensing deals and guest designer partnerships with fashion brands. While Bryant said that she hopes this strategic approach will allow her to branch out and use her “creativity and ability to interpret period [fashion] to create designs for real collections that people can enjoy,” and that the ultimate goal will be her own fashion label. 





When asked about the appeal of the drama’s early sixties style, the Tennessee native remarked that it’s a “gorgeous, classic silhouettes. Americans have been so casual for so long, I think they long for this kind of considered dressing.” While I don't know that I necessarily agree with Bryant's opinion that America is looking to move out of their casual-tendencies -- if anything I get the feeling that the opposite is increasingly true -- I look forward to more tailored and alluringly demure looks to come.

Makeup: Sue Devitt Eye Intensifier Pencil in Tanzania and Gold Coast Bronzing Powder, both at Sephora stores

Jeans: Rock & Republic — cut off at the ankle, size 25

Jewelry: Anything gold from Kaviar and Kind on Sunset Boulevard, preferably layered pieces, but "keep only one item big"

Shoes: Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, Gucci and Balenciaga. No flats.

For dressing up: Anything Grecian and 1970s looking, preferably vintage Halston or YSL. Nothing above the knees ("I've got chicken knees," she says).







What’s in current rotation on your iPod?
I don’t listen to an iPod. I listen to Satellite Radio - classic rock from the ‘70s.

That’s all I listen to. What are you reading right now?
Honestly, magazines. French Vogue and everything else right now. I never have time to read a real book, only magazines.

Are there any more left-of-center magazines that you like?
I love Another Magazine, Numero, Jalouse. If that’s left-of-center...I think that’s left-of-center.

If you found $15,000 in a brown paper bag, how would you spend it?
$15,000? Wow. Aside from charity? You want a material answer?
No, any answer you want, it doesn’t have to be a material answer.
I would probably give $5,000 to Orphan Aid Africa, $5,000 to Ovarian Cancer and $5,000 to Pediatric AIDS. How’s that?

Who do you think is the most underrated designer, living or dead?
Hmm. Underrated designer living or dead? [Long pause.] That’s tricky. I would say...Stavropolis. I own 10 amazing dresses from Stavropolis from the 70s/80s.

What’s your favorite getaway spot?
St. Barth’s. It’s paradise to me. It’s heaven. It’s where I feel the most relaxed and all I do is sleep.

How do you recover from fashion season?
I never recover. I don’t have another break til Christmas. There’s no recovery time in my life (laughs).
