minakani walls

Minakani is a Paris based studio. 
Frédéric Bonnin and Cécile Figuette create patterns, mainly for textile but not exclusively.
They've launched their walldecor line 2 years ago and offer custom size and exclusive motifs printed onto high quality non-woven paper. I would love to decorate my walls with this adorable mosaic wallpaper...pleaaase...

Tommy

Hilfiger’s Sunny Spring – Designer Tommy Hilfiger brought his American sportswear under a sixties, pop art influence for his spring 2012 collection presented during New York Fashion Week. Pairing neutral hues with pops of red, yellow and purple, the pieces ranged from bold blazers to billowing kaftans to camouflage printed swimwear. Sleek hair, sunny cheeks and block heels updated the Hilfiger look for the new season.

Lego - Build it!

LEGO is fun and games for children. Highly recognized and bringing a smile to everyone’s face, LEGO is also the object of countless creative ideas completed by adult fans who’ve created everything from kitchen tables to animation and fashion shows, to clothing made of LEGO bricks.

TCH ACCESS agency’s collaboration with the world’s best brands and ad agencies continues. We are working on a number of fun projects and right now we are obsessed with LEGO.

In addition to fun and creativity, LEGO is also a strong symbol of building. In our version of street-level LEGO promotion, we envision building massive LEGO sculptures — creations so big that they cannot go unnoticed.
LEGO is a brand that can get away with this kind of in-your-face stunt as the goodwill and positive attitudes allow consumers to see it all in a fun light.

The shock value increases when these sculptures are placed in environments and contexts where no-one is expecting to see a big “toy.”

We are not talking about theme parks, we are talking about car parks. A Darth Vader with his light saber waiting for you in the underground garage — perhaps to your favorite shopping centre, sports facility or night club. He will raise or lower his saber depending on how you behave. Incredible opportunities to add sound as well.

Malababa - Spanish leather Goods

Today I'm loving Spanish leather goods and women's accessories firm Malababa. Company started in 1997 when pharmacy graduate Ana Carrasco realized she was more drawn to fashion than apothecary. She created a solid following in Madrid, then in the rest of Spain, and moved on to other markets in 2003. Malababa is now sold in more than 300 stores in Mexico, Argentina, USA, Japan, Kuwait, China and several European countries.

In Malababa pieces, there is a sense of traditional Spanish craftsmanship and handiwork. The use of natural-tone leathers and metal accents with timeless patina create a feel of value, elegance and timelessness. Purses, bags, wallets and shoes form the core of each collection, with cuffs, belts and other accessories completing the line. 

Outstanding Tents!

When I saw the first images of these limited-edition designer tents with their cool flysheets, I had to really stop and think. Is it true that no-one else has manufactured these types of tents for sale before? I have seen individual pieces displayed as art, but I had not seen anything quite like this.

FieldCandy tents do not give you camouflage protection in the natural setting, nor do they help you blend in with the rest of the crowd at the campsite. FieldCandy tents are designed to stand out.

Nail Art that will turn you into a total Stud Muffin

By Megan McIntyre, Photographed by Dan McMahon

The Tip: Apply one coat of black polish, followed by one coat of a green shimmer and let dry. Layer on a topcoat, then add the studs while polish is still wet.

The Tools: Black nail polish, CND Emerald Shimmer Effects, topcoat, studs

The Trick: Use an orangewood stick to individually place each stud precisely where you want it.
