New Scissor Cuff From Toy Me

We live dangerous times.

Paris designer Thomas Jaillot together with Marco De Michelis will introduce a Silver Scissor that wraps around your wrist and mixes with paper art transformations into silver, Origami earrings and a Paper Windmill charm and earring.

Ain’t that some news? Nor am I the late city wonderer or the strange neighborhood amateur, but you never know, do you?

Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you’re gonna get next!

Leaving all that danger aside, imagining that this silver scissor cuff really cuts! You’ve got yourself a perfectly fit accessory for office days. The collection will be presented at Pitti Uomo next week.
What do you say? It’s a handy accessory or it’s inaccessibly edgy?

Mid-November, an exhibition with a rather unique theme made a pop-style statement. “Wake up Andy Warhol” reunited over 40 artist and designers who took great inspiration from the master Warhol and came up with few exhilarating artworks.
Among the featured performances, one just stole my heart.

I love shoppers, they’re spacious enough to carry lots of things, big enough to be easily spotted and with such an easy access inside, I don’t have to worry about all those blown zippers over the years. But most of all, I treasure shoppers for their written down messages.

This “Fake Bag” (produced in 100 pieces) has a graphic of a Louis Vuitton bag with “FAKE” written on her on one side, and on the other a graphic of a real Louis Vuitton bag with “PERFECT” on. It also comes with a bunch of ribbon prizes to match with the Perfect Fake Bag.
Deliciously pop!

It may not be the most obvious style issue, but I found it and will discuss it with you because it’s a way to conduct ones life, thus, a style. And an obsessively wrong one.
I’m not a convinced feminist, not swimming contre le courant either but I had my times of men magazines over the years. “Over” the years meaning that that time of my life reached a blissful ending before my eyes would ever be damaged by an article like this one.

Men’s Health (ironically) proposes a way to meet the perfect woman to all those interested men out there. And in their perfect gal crusade, they’ve started showing all those brave men army just dying for their Snow-White, the 6 existing camps: The Urban Sophisticate, The Arty Hipster, The Vegan Yoga Gal, The Intimacy Junkie, The Happy Homemaker.

These are the 6 types of women a man has to meet in order to select his princess. Now let me explain you why I’m so convinced that it’s all going upside down.

The Happy Homemaker is a modest family girl that goes from saying something and mean it ( that she’s not going to work) to an accommodating and eager woman becoming a frigid with every offspring.

The Intimacy Junkie is a self-connected sex machine who makes you feel great at first but then she’ll get you talking about the “meaning” of the relationship (that would be her weakness) but in the bedroom she’ll do anything.

The Alpha Female is a career robot, over booked but efficient and skilled in the bedroom.

The Vegan Yoga Gal is a beautifully skin-neck person who gives long back rubs with wacky oils looking for an identical twin who shares her interests completely, slow and soulfoul in bedroom.

The Arty Hipster is exciting and stylish, culture carrying, opinioned but dirty (as a good news!) with a dirty bed (that being the bad news!)

The Urban Sophisticate is funny, hot and spontaneous but will drain a man’s confidence right away so they don’t get to know her uninhibited bedroom self.

Damn! Is there anything wrong with whoever wrote these lines, or do men actually file this kind of article under pearls of wisdom sealing?

Not only women categorize under hip code names empty of actual meaning that make you wonder why men pretend to not understand women but in fact they’ve gone so deep into wanting to understand them that they’ve created virtual women instead of real ones. (urban sophisticate is kinda repetitive in terms, the arty hipster is really so trendy that easily managed to escape my inspiration for a moment.. anyway, the vegan yoga gal it must be a derived from the vegan articles wave going on over the internet; maybe it’s a definition formed by the keywords from a gossip page, the intimacy junkie – that’s a fast food affiliate or what? Oh, I know – a girl who eats fast food at her place! The happy homemaker is the only title a man would ever understand from all that gibberish, thus, the one he’ll want to find).

I though it would be interesting posting these images from Ann Demeulemeester’s shop in Seoul.

The Shop is located in an alley, not far from the busy thoroughfare in Seoul’s Gangnam district. The building is comprised of Belgian’s Designer Ann Demeulemeester fashion store at the ground floor, a Multi Shop in the basement and a restaurant at the top floor.

The parking is at the center of the site, the entrance to the Ann Demeulemeester Shop is on the western side of the courtyard and the stairs for the Multi Shop and the Restaurant are on the eastern side.
Architecture aside, the interesting thing about this particular shop is the outside building material – a primarily geotextile planted with herbaceous perennial to form a living façade.

The construction was designed in 3-4 months and bears the signature of Korean architect Minsuk Cho of Mass Studies and effectively constructed in 5-6 months.

The news is spreading fast: Heatherette and M.A.C is a sure thing! After the catwalk collection (Fall-Winter 08), Heatherette will launch the make up collection in collaboration with M.A.C.

The packaging looks completely retro-glam and includes nail polish, eyeshades, lipstick and pancake base.
Though it’s been said there will be no ad campaign for this particular line, we’re still hoping to catch some promo material around this exquisite collaboration and come forward to presenting it to you when it will happen!

If you’re a fan yourself, hurry up and buy a pair! They’re the hottest thing around for Hello Kitty adorers.

Sanrio found another way to use the famous Hello Kitty thing in his advantage: contact lenses. Not that I’m against the Hello Kitty hysteria, I’ve got a bag of my own (still I hope that my kids won’t grew up to be Hello Kitty fans!) but that won’t keep me from wondering how life looks trough feline lenses.

Even if I thought I had my full of gossip-style-police, I’ve got to make another exception today. And simply because it’s related to another article I wrote last year (uh, that has a nice ring to it!) – about Hilary Duff and her Louis Vuitton obsession.

Well in those pictures, you could have seen a pretty interesting ring on Hilary’s index. I’ve seen it too, imagine! And didn’t say a word about it because I was all into handbags at the time. Now I’ll say something about that amazing ring!

It’s called the Czarina Ring(see the update below) and it’s part of the collection Czarina signed Ere by Repossi (which is no longer part of the Repossi portfolio – see update below). It has 15 diamonds and it’s made of yellow gold. Purely gorgeous!

Now let me tell you a little something about Repossi’s past Czarina Collection (I told you that I love stories, didn’t I?). It went by the name Ere by Repossi and meant to

evoke the Byzantine jewellery of Vladiko, the Russian orthodox bishop, and of the Episcopate, archbishop and patriarch in Greek, hereby evoking the origins of Eugenie Niarchos, who likes to wear a Tsjotki, a rosary, as well as the crosses of the orthodox iconography with baroque interlaces.

The collection is not religious in any kind. Made from black, white, yellow, pink gold with diamonds tries to recall the luxurious byzantine way of Tsars.
Dare to wear!

Update: Thanks to our reader merce, I’m making an important update to let you know that I was mislead in my obsession into believing that the ring sported on Hilary Duff was a Repossi. In fact, it’s a Loree Rodkin creation and hereby you have the pictures to prove it.
(you have to admit the extreme resemblance either way ;) )

Recently, a representative for Repossi has contacted me to kindly let me know that the Czarina collection was no longer part of the Repossi product portfolio. However, the new collections, signed by Repossi are just as extravagant, glamorous and stylish.

For 2008 Pantene announced four trends: Taking Part, It’s A Slick Up, Pin-Up Girl, Making Waves. Let’s take them one at the time and see what they want us to do with our hair to meet up the trends for 2008.

Taking Part is basically an easy way to style your hair in a bad hair day. It’s a clean part sided low ponytail. How it’s done?

1. Wash your hair like usually. Let it dry or blow it dry.
2. Use a straightening iron to make your locks soft lustrous and silky.
3. Create a deep side parting with a tail comb.
4. Keep a long fringe over an eye and the rest just comb it into a low rise sided pony tail. Shake the ponytail with your fingers to make a frizzy finish.
5. Use a little serum for the glossy finish and there you are, Taken Part.
