Balenciaga Fall Winter 2010 Shoes

Balenciaga always have really interesting and crazy shoes. Their Fall/Winter 2010 collection is no exception with block heels meeting brougues and loafers in colourful combinations. The front of the shoes are ace, but for me, it’s all about the heels….

Right to the point...

Many artists have used pencils to create beautiful pieces of work, but Dalton Ghetti creates stunning masterpieces on the tip of one.

Microscopic artist Dalton Ghetti spends up to two-and-a half years painstakingly crafting each handmade piece on the graphite of a pencil.

Mr Ghetti, who works as a carpenter, has been working with pencils for about 25 years and his stunning sculptures include Elvis, the entire alphabet, linking chains and even an entire church which is just 10mm tall.

It's Vouge

I’ve always liked to read foreign magazines. Not because I understand what they are writing about ( they could be writing about cheese and tomatoes for all I know), more just to look at the pictures and see the differences in styling etc. Here are a few images from Vouge Korea:

Shop inspiration...

I have been browsing the internet for some shop inspiration, we really fancy a bit of a make over but cant decide on a theme at the moment.

Check out these fantastic Japanese shop interiors

Loveless

Bape

The Undercover Shop, The ceiling is amazing, a surreal installation of thousands of lightbulbs in rolling waves.

Below, Issey Miyake Shop by Nendo, Shibuya

The displays are so innovate, apparently the concept for them was ‘Fashion on pins and needles,’ I think they work really well, the products look as if they are floating.

Je m'appelle Marcel

Normally a beauty ad would look something like this Chanel one:

image

However, NARS have opted for truly an unusually cute and wrinkly little model:

image

His name is Marcel and this little pooch belongs to owner Francois Nars, the creative director of the company. To PEOPLEPets.com he gave this statement:

“With all the world traveling, I started to really show all of my wrinkles. It’s painfully unbearable being so handsome, and I get a lot of problems because of my natural pout. Photographers are always telling me to stop pouting, but it’s just me.”

This 13 year old Frenchie even knows how to Twitter! Dogs these days, they grow up so fast…
