The Costume Continued

Ok, I figured since I read so many blogs that I should pass along the things I find and like. The picture above comes from an article I read on Definitive Touch titled 'The Costume Continued.' The following is straight from the article, "I don’t condone throwing costumes out since you will always have an opportunity to wear it again. But instead of waiting for the opportunity to get dressed up again, why not adopt a ‘re-use’ policy and work parts of it into your regular rotation?" This is the best thing I've heard all day, and I've heard a lot today. I like the creativity involved in this and the opportunities it lends to try out clothes that normally wouldn't be considered. Go ahead, give it a try. Don't be scared.

the most awesome chair that you never saw coming

so first of all i just thought that i would follow the picture of this amazing chair with one of its crazy looking designer. i think everyone has seen this chair but perhaps not its designer philippe starck. i think this just instills all of my stereotypes that you have to be a little mad to ever produce something great. this is by far one of my favorite things from design within reach. to me it is like the most pure form of design as it is literally an acrylic profile of a chair with no detail to distract from the overall shape so were there any flaw with this piece it would be clear, he he. i can see this piece totally working either in a traditional setting or in a super modern one.

the most amazing thing ever to come out of ikea

i realize this may be a bit of a shock, after all it is school bus yellow. but once you get past that i think the design is totally brilliant and it is even better in person. i think this is also a very versatile piece as it is sleek and modern but still has the detailing on the bottom that mirrors a traditional shape. this is also amazing in my opinion because my a favorite color is yellow and i can't ever get enough of it!
