monochromatic madness

oooo i love unexpected things in monochrome.  i spotted this bike on the south side of milwaukee and was schooled by friends on facebook that it is a hauntingly beautiful ghost bike.  the blue boat by the very cool french artist xavier veilhan was auctioned off in monte carlo.  and last, nike's macaroon line of shoes in ripe raspberry.  delicious.

what time is it

talk about a blast from the past!  swatch watch has pushed their way back into the limelight.  i'm feeling a bit nostalgic about this as i have fond memories of my very first swatch watch with its minty green band which was stolen by a fellow 3rd grader.  above is a photo i snapped of an inside cover ad from july's coilhouse magazine for swatch watch's colour codes collection.  swatch has been pushing the campaign hard and put out a challenge to some of the top fashion and design magazines out there including wallpaper, nylon, i-D and v magazine (photo from the spread shown above).  facebook fans were then asked to vote on their favorite campaign.  and the winner is...yoho magazine.  you can get your own colour code watch for $50.

and ever

someday i am going to create a room inspired by my favorite poster of all time.  for like ever by tracy jenkins was featured on the cover domino magazine years ago and i get the same fuzzy feeling every time i see it.  you can get one too for $60.

let me work it

look what i found at a rummage sale over the weekend! a boby trolley by mid century designer joe colombo for a mere $15! i have been lusting over the trolley and its versatility for some time now. the hard part is deciding what room to utilize it in: office, bathroom or kitchen?

i can't believe its taken me this long to comment

on my latest obsession: the nissan cube.

i have test driven one of the cult status vehicles

with its asymetrical back window and interior design package.

nissan has gone all out with the advertising

and i'm real surprised i don't see more of the cube.

above is the cube in a cube...of ice, that is.

tattoo artist henry hate branded the ice cube

with a traditional japanese design.
