Dress Me Up
Love this 100% cotton cut-out dress from ASOS - super cute retro design with a contemporary flair. Love it in blue + some leather wedgy sandals and big Jackie-O Sunglasses :)
Moon Foxes
Russian artist Sergey Safonov is bringing his story/picture book Gooma to life, one character at a time. Below is an adorable Moon Fox, “mysterious sleeping floating creatures met by Gooma on his way to deep north” that only exist at night. I wish I understood Russian...
Where the Wild Things Are
This was my absolute favorite book as a kid. Maurice Sendak is beyond fantastic. Need I say more?
Hermes Headphones
Okay, so I already think Bluetooth head phones are pretty awesome, but these... THESE are works of ART. Admittedly, I think 'I Believe I Can Fly' is kind of awful so I'd rather associate it with Hermes
I’m Flying headset design by Rodshakur, inspired by R Kelly’s track I Believe I Can Fly
Last year Wieden + Kennedy London launched the Nokia Music Almighty Headset Competition, which invited entrants to design a Nokia Bluetooth headset, inspired by their favourite piece of music.

Through the Looking Glass
I just discovered the "Alice in Wonderland" photoshoot by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue in December 2003 - the slideshow is AMAZING and I'm totally in love.
Sweet Nectar
The popular histories tell that the food of the fairies is the nectar of the flowers; this design is an invitation to imagine this fantastic world. The wine glass, covered by petals of silver, contains the liquid like the nectar inside the flower.
These 'Fairy Tale' perfect wine glasses by Carmen Zambrano of Mexico City are sweet and ethereal - I want a set!
Lady Cadogan's Teapot
So we all know what a sucker I am when it comes to tea and coffee related things (no surprise) so when I saw this teapot you can imagine how excited I was! The whole idea is that you flip it upside down and fill it through the indented spout in the bottom, flip it upside right and voila! The true anti-spill teapot! So here's the story...
This is known amongst Puzzle People as "Cadogan Teapot," popularized by Lord and Lady Cadogan of England around 1820. These teapots were said to be "Non-spill" teapots for use on the railway, but we have our doubts.
This version is made of Pyrex heat-resistant glass, so you can even set it up on directly on the range! Available through the Store at Electric Works in San Francisco or online for $40
Cookie Cut Outs
How cute are these cookie cutters? Serving cookies perched on the rim of a coffee mug is possibly the most adorable presentation ever!

T is for Time
By Marc André Robinson for TMagazine, the New York Time's Men's Fashion mag is super cool - a combination of vintage/recycled art, typography and just a touch of illusion.
Robinson’s “T” is made entirely of castoff chairs, and the final work is about 15 feet tall. “I wanted to make something that from the point of view of the lens would look like the T but was in reality this rambling physical situation,” [Robinson] said.

Mother of All Funk (Chords)
Israeli artist Kutiman basically took a bunch of YouTube clips, put them in a blender and BOOM! Take a listen.
Garden in a Box
I've been super fascinated with urban gardening and even though I have a garden space at my parents house which is nothing to sneeze at, I haven't gotten around to actually carving out a space and DOING it - and now, thanks to Scout Regalia and their Boxed Garden kit, it's all possible and might even be - egads! - easy?! Okay, $120 USD isn't really CHEAP for a bunch of metal pieces, but if it gets my garden set up, it just might be worth it...
draw a light
This is one of the cooler things I've seen on the web recently: flourescent teabags. I KNOW, RIGHT? So they probably don't taste very good / aren't safe to drink, but these tea bags are my new favorite blend: when submerged in water, they react and give off light like a liquid candle. Okay, the neon yellow isn't all that attractive, but COME ON. I'm excited, can you tell? Designed by Wonsik Chae via Totonko Designs, a cool site that collects "projects and pictures of contemporary design and outstanding around the world so that you can see them in one place"

MonPot: For the Absent Minded
I don't know about you, but I have the hardest time remembering to water my houseplants. I've tried to get into a routine of watering them Sunday evenings when I get back, but I'm usually so exhausted I forget or Fridays when I leave, but then I'm in too much of a hurry. It's amazing how I can look at them every day and not remember to water them. But fear no more! Julien Bergignat has created the MonPot, which allows you to set a one day, one week or two week timer - you twist the bioplastic pot to the desired setting and like a super-slow oven timer, it rotates back to start. Instead of an audio alarm, a little (solar powered) LED light in the base of the pot lights up to let you know your little guy needs some water. Now, if only it could SMS text my phone... hmm...
Artist of the Month: GhostPatrol
Born In Hobart, Australia
Works and lives in Melbourne Australia
A self taught illustrator. Ghostpatrol has moved from the field of stencil art to exhibit his illustration based work worldwide. He currently resides in Melbourne at his ‘Mitten Fortress’ studio. His work ranges form fine ink drawing, graffiti, commissioned murals and soft sculpture.
You can’t describe Ghostpatrol in one paragraph. Over a couple of years of the most regular contact I have had with any graffiti writer GP is as hard to truly understand now as on day one.
Incredibly innovative and driven by creative impulses, with an infinite injection of energy, GP will always surprise. He sculpts, paints, draws and sews. GP works with whatever media he can find or afford to purchase including but not limited to spray cans, paper, pens, markers, wood, clay and so on. He has so many fingers in different creative pies he could be an octopus.
He pen and ink drawings are delicate, rapidly produced and yet are meticulous in their detail and always bordering on the darker side of our nature. Conversely his large paste-ups are simple in design, but highly effective in capturing your attention.
He has a deep-seated sense of the ironic, and an almost black satirical humour – the monthly hard-rubbish collections are dotted with his anecdotal commentaries. Not noted for sculpture at this stage of his development, GP will for sure venture into this arena also, and when he does he will sculpt big. Ghostpatrol in a few words – dark, moody, energetic and passionate. He knows what he wants and he knows how to realise his dreams.
-Matthew Lunn (author of Street Art Uncut)
And that's all we know, really. The art speaks for itself, and in this post I'm choosing just to feature GhostPatrol's 'Pencil Art'.
