For Kara's apartment- "Too cool, or lookin like a fool" (alice)



Okay, so I'm trying to find art to put up in my apartment. I've got a modern twist on shabby chic going on.

When I saw the pictures of the Custom Hotel in the blog that Alice posted, I fell in love with the bedding with the anthropomorphic pictures

I think these paintings by Thierry Poncelet are… Continue

A Boutique Hotel in LA That Won't Break the Bank: Custom Hotel

Let's say you're coming into LA and you need a place to stay. You want something simple and sexy, functional but fun, a place that has free wi-fi but a kick ass pool. You'd love to stay the W in Westwood or the London in West Hollywood or the Huntley in Santa Monica but you'd rather save your money so you can do a little Christmas shopping at the Grove. So what do you… Continue

Mumbai After The Smoke Has Cleared

On Monday most of Mumbai, India attempted a return to normal activity, in the wake of the 60-hour-long siege last week. Some facts about the attacks are a bit clearer now, others still hazy. Based in part on the confessions of the only terrorist captured alive - Azam Amir Kasav, Indian officials now say that there were only 10 gunmen involved, all members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistani militant group with links to the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir - though Pakistan officially denies any… Continue

Looking for Beautiful Silhouette Stationary? Paper+Cup Has You Covered.

Paper+Cup is a stationary store that was started by a few old friends in New York. What I love most about their products is that they're simple yet elegant. Their silhouette labels, cards and journals have that modern vintage feel to them. Sam and I ordered up this line for our rehearsal dinner gifts and we couldn't have been more happy. So, if you're looking for… Continue

Thread Holograms Frozen in Space - Duvier Del Dago: Cuba

I like how Cuban artist Duvier Del Dago goes 3D with his holograms strung of thread. From the beginning, he has worked with the technique of sketching, which he has transformed throughout his career. A process of experimentation with drawing has led him to transcend the bi-dimensional nature of paper, bring it out, and endow it with new dimensions in space. The objects he freezes in space take about four days to complete.…

Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am!: BMW Unveils the Product Navigator Using Microsoft Surface



Sure there isn't anything like picking out a shiny new vehicle and racing it around the neighborhood but what if you want to customize your ride? BMW has partnered with Microsoft to bring you the Product Navigator - a futuristic touchscreen that lets you pick a BMW, modify colors and content, and even save the finished project to a thumb drive to take home with you.



I wasn't that impressed with the video except when they dropped a block on it and it changed… Continue
