Oh What a World! Haven’t you heard yourself saying that at least once? Haven’t you head the other saying it? I bet your answer was yes to at least one of the above questions!

But have you ever heard the Sonos singing Oh What a World? Try it! You might discover something wonderful! (too bad there wasn’t a video made – yet – for this amazing vocal piece performed by Sonos and originally written and performed by Rufus Wainwright – you can see him live performing the song here; then again, this audio only is also magical in its own way; each its own in-head video)

As the mood of the world is switching to eco friendly, the green conscience takes a turn on your very life style.

Take for instance your old magazines: what to do with those? Keep the best content pages, undoubtedly, but how long and where exactly? Take a look at Oktavilla’s solution! Pile all those magazines into fancy walls. Real walls. Sure, security wise this structure presents some serious flaws, but aesthetically it makes up for the lack of actual practicality. You can do the same over at your place if you care enough for the environment and your old magazines as to build an interior wall with them! Go green, your friends will be all green with envy also!

Still saddened by the tragic loss we’re left facing with Alexander McQueen passing, I thought about a peaceful, though meaningful song from Peter Gabriel: Blood of Eden.

I trust you had a wonderful week and you’re ready for an amazing weekend! Thank you for this yet another great week and your insightful comments! Enjoy Peter Gabriel’s Blood of Eden! (more info right after the jump as well as another one of Peter Gabriel’s wonderful songs: Don’t Give Up!)

Few years already we’re abusing the “supers are back” slogan to a point of complete waste of meaning, of significance.

It would be both an understatement and an exaggeration to say that Harper’s Bazaar March 2010, the US edition with Kate Moss on the cover or Harper’s Bazaar March 2010, the UK edition with Cindy Crawford on the cover were disappointing and small.

Today I have the chance to share one of my favorite brands with you: Marithé François Girbaud. I fell in love with their brand long time ago and not only because of their jeans (which used to be highly popular in the 90s) but mainly because of their ad campaigns.

Marithé François Girbaud was founded in 1964 by the husband and wife team who gave their very names to the newborn fashlabel. Though they were largely known all over the globe, their particular advertisement view which brought them fame was what cut them short too! (the story continues right after the jump with more images!

Today the fashion world is in mourning! L’enfant terrible de la mode, Alexander McQueen is no longer among us. The few details were published so far tell us that he took his own life. Condolences to his family, we will miss you terribly, Mr McQueen! (you can admire some of his wonderful overtalented work here)

While doing my daily rounds, I came across two magazine covers for March 2010. Page Six Magazine and The Advocate.

Both featuring two (different) celebrities for each of the covers, but orchestrating the same pose: the Bite. Now is there’s something crunchy about March or what? Sarah Silverman’s necklace bite vs Portia de Rossi’s pearl string bite. What’s the deal? Should we expect a bite trend on magazine covers? (photos Page Six, Advocate via J2)

If you were wondering what Katie Holmes was up to lately (and even if you weren’t, still) let me fill you in: Katie is serious about her fashion line (Holmes and Yang, in case you forgotten or you were praying to not see it turn into reality) and she’s officially on a fabric hunt.

Together with her stylist (yes, that’s what Yang stands for: Jeanne Yang) she went to a meeting where the two were supposedly picking fabric for the future fashion line. Can’t wait to see the actual designs! If there’s anything remotely similar to what Katie’s wearing, it’ll be a certified flop, don’t you think? (photos via)
