FROG CHESTNUTS PULLOVER HALF ARM / C.NEEON / 139.00 EURO

Today I also discovered I have broken blood vessels on my T-Zone and inner cheeks from using ExfoliKate by Kate Somerville for two minutes instead of thirty seconds. Then to top off my sensitive thinning skin I used the 3-Minute Facial with Ginger by SUPER from Dr. Nicholas Perricone. It has Ginger Root Extract which is great for increasing circulation but not good when you have broken capillaries as it increases the blood circulation which is why my face looks like a tomato. But I’m going to kick in some Vitamin K and try this Vitamin K Creame by JASON (but the price doesn’t really give me high expectations so well see). Check out Jordi Puig, the photo above from his collection entitled “Animals” is pretty fun and makes you get used to the idea of consuming meat from a test tube. More of his work is rather impressive and gives you a better understanding of middle America and why JCPenney is couture in the early 2000‘s.

I woke up at 12:47 p.m. to a phone call from an employer I had an interview with yesterday asking me if I would like to accept the position as a Visual Merchandiser. I said yes and she told me to come in at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. I will start Sunday. It all feels so surreal. Like I was dreaming. I think the most exciting part of it all is actually getting to have the opportunity to call a department mine, the visuals the displays the window designs. Ever since I was a youngster I would be so drawn to the allure of shop windows, and now I get to design one all on my own. OH and I may be getting a cat. It must be black though. And named Whizkas.

PETE ROCK EATS CARMEL COAL BAG / JACK SPADE / 250.00 USD

Adelaide based design firm Cul-de-sac has released their first collection of limited edition Giclée prints. I’ve been looking for something that will liven up my room for summer and these vibrant prints are simply perfect for any space that needs a pop of colour. Each print created by art director Marco Cicchianni, mixes Danish design with a hint of 1907’s flare making each one a timeless piece. The series has been displayed in the studio of fame designer Khai Liew, which meshes well with the space. I think my favorite is the organic orange which, if you turn your head to the right, resembles three white lamps with an orange background. But either way their all lovely so snatch one quick as each is limited edition of 20 prints.
