Rad

Really loving the look and assymetry coming from Rad Hourani's new line -- Rad by Rad Hourani..

the line which will be coming out in November is very layered and is described as being very relaxed and easy to wear..

it reminds me a lot of a look that I already know and love .. from Complex Geometries..

Téo Jasmin

I must say I am a bit in Love with Teo Jasmin...

They are based in France and they are coming out with some really impressively vibrant, colorful, and creative prints... and these aren't the typical prints we find at Urban Outfitters ... these are .. well pretty awesome .. awesome enough that they have been featured in a plethora of Fashion Magazines .. such as... Vanity Fair.. Vogue .. Marie Claire .. etc etc etc..

What I love about Teo Jasmin is that not only do they have fabulous prints .. but that they also turn them chairs (which is brilliant), cushions, stickers, and everything such as...

here are some of Teo Jasmin's newest line ..


Some of my personal favorites are :

The Fiat Collection ..
The London Collection..
and the New York Collection...




best thing is ... the price.. which is honestly not bad... not bad at all ... considering you are getting great quality ..

Go check them out

Teo Jasmin

I know I totally want something from them ...

;-)

Everybody Should...

love and download this song..



the band is really good from Melbourne AU .. The Temper Trap.. they .. I guess you can say got a their big break here in the US during SXSW .. I've liked this song for a while now...

and when I realized that it was in the soundtrack for 500 days of Summer... I was totally convinced that this band.. and this song .. are just plain awesome ..

you guys should really check them out

The Temper Trap

another of my favorite songs of theirs is Love Lost


Oh, and before I forget to mention... the soundtrack for 500 days of summer is probably the best soundtrack out there right now.. music from the smiths, temper trap, feist, regina spektor, carla bruni (who is brilliant!), wolfmother, basically everybody .. go download it .. I sure did

O'Pioneers ...

The new Levi's campaign " Go Forth!" is (IMO) incredibly brilliant ...

The film O'Pioneer almost makes me want to go out and put on a pair of Levi's and go explore...
The use of Walt Whitman's Poem's O'Pioneer & America .. feel so powerful along with the imagery of the rebellious crowd ..





it's incredible I watched it like 5 times ..

check out the very interactive website for awesome downloads ..

Black Truth / White Lies

Really loving the pieces in the newest collection Does Not Equal titled Black Truth / White Lies .

Their pieces are truly unique..

If you've never heard of Does Not Equal .. they are a Australia based jewelery design shop aimed to creating special pieces that can be worn by both men and women ...

The current collection (Black Truth / White Lies) is composed of 20 pieces with a "strong emphasis on the contrast between dark and light" good and bad .. truth and lies..

amazing .. love it

here are some of my favorites ..
check out their website .. and buy some .. cause I mean .. they're awesome ..

Does Not Equal

That's So Miami...

As many of you guys know I am from South FL and here in the MIA it is not weird to be walking down the street to find yourself stopping right where you are and uttering the words "(OMG) That is so MIAMI!"

Don't get me wrong .. a lot of people in Miami have incredible style .. but some of them honestly have just been plain lied to about the way they look..

That is why us over at E.L.S.A. have decided to start a weekly run of street fashion in the MIA and greater South FL Area.. and letting you .. our awesome readers decide...

between

the Good ... the Bad... and the 'That is So Miami' ..

So get ready ..

Art Gallery of Ontario

I can't get over how amazing the Plywood-face stair case in the main hall of the AGO

designed by non other than Frank Gehry.. who was completely inspired by Alto...

super cool ..

Can't wait until the NWS Building is complete in Miami Beach (also designed by Gehry).. It's going to be brilliant..

I just had to add it ...

Mirasol ...

Recently D. and I received a package from someone very special (to me).. inside.. was the most delicious Jam I have tasted in a long time...

D. and I happen to love Jam.. we've enjoyed pretty delicious homemade jams from all over the US .. thus we were very happy to get these..

they were sent from the Mirasol Farm located in Western Wisconsin..

Raspberry Almond Jam & Wild Raspberry Strawberry Jam

all that I can say is...

Amazing...

They are truly great...

what I really love about these jams and marmalade's is that they are made from organically grown fruits .. their goal is to be totally eco-friendly ... that includes the packaging ..

I was really impressed by the whole package.. the presentation.. the TASTE! and even the hand written personalized note from the maker..

I must add that Jams and Marmalade's are not entirely what they specialize in though... they also handcraft Soaps made the old-fashioned way, from raw ingredients - organic ones when possible. Creams, lotions and balms made from scratch, with essential oils that "scent as well as move the spirit."




I haven't tried those but if I am to judge by what I have tried I would probably say that they are equally as amazing if not better...

Did I mention that everything is very well priced...

so if you are totally interested .. which I'm not sure why you wouldn't be.. take a stroll over to their website ...

Mirasol

and you can find all their stuff over at Etsy

and if you guys over at Mirasol want to send us some more stuff our way .. we would be more than happy to receive it =)

All I'm going to say ...

Is..

be on the look out for Cupcakes & Such As


more info .. later

I must say...

I love Patrick Wolf's video for Hard Times...



I've always found him so .. um ... interesting ..

I'd love to have lunch with him .. he probably has stories ..


and you have got to check out the newest video from Basement Jaxx for the song Raindrops...

I'm a lil obsessed with the song at the moment .. and the video is super colorful .. super interesting .. the use of light and movement is brilliant...



try watching it on Yooouuutuuube its a true kaleidoscope of awesome

Rackk & Druin

yet another reason why I love the magic of Etsy...

here is a very cool find Rackk and Druin..

their jewelry is original and super cute ...

The use of materials for the pieces is brilliant... using locks of real human and horse hair ... empty gun shells.. salvaged feathers... and other vintage looking artifacts.. is incredible..

take a look at some of their work ...











very cool ... and very affordable ...

go check 'em out Rackk and Druin

I wanna be...
