The designers Oded Friedland and Reddish Studio collaborated to create these kits for monkey business.
Each box contains features that can be pinned up into wine corks to create strange miniature animals.
Sometimes, all I need is something simple and fun like these little creatures to make my day.

When it comes to art, I have a particular high respect for low budget pieces that are simply spectacular.
Not that I don’t appreciate big productions at all, but most of the time, a piece that didn’t use money to exist means the artists used a strong enough concept or powerful enough idea to make it work.
CLOUD is spectacular in just that way.
The Calgary-based artists, Caitlind Brown & Wayne Garrett, collected more than 6000 burnt out incandescent light bulbs from local households, businesses, museums, and eco stations to create this interactive sculpture.
The magic of CLOUD comes to life through its audience. As the crowd walks under the cloud they pull ON\OFF strings that control the illumination of the structure and by so give the cloud a mesmerizing effect.
Pure Heaven.

Currently happening in the Design Museum of London is the “Unexpected Pleasures” exhibition.
The Design Museum brought together almost 200 bizarre and conceptual adornments to celebrate the work of contemporary and provocative UK joined by jewelers from all over the world.
So girls, it’s a fact, we all love jewelry but what is a jewel for you?
Radical statement pieces or objects with sentimental value? Ornaments with history or charms of precious materials?
The exhibition will last until March 3rd, 2013.

Happy new year everyone!
Hope you had a fantastic Christmas and a great new years party!
For my part, my wish for 2012 was simply to concentrate on what makes me truly happy, keep my eyes open for opportunities to do so and grab on whenever chance passes by. Sounds kitsh I know but try it for real, its not as easy as it seems!
Looking backwards, I think I did good! I traveled, felt in love, laughed, got drunk, met new amazing people, spent more time with my friends and family and left behind lots of things that made me doubt.
Starting to blog was a great step for me. I now realize how much sense it makes to put together my growing love for photography, fashion and design in one place.
Even if my professional life doesn’t leave me much time for blogging, reading other people’s reflections and thoughts after each post gave me a boost of confidence!! This year, my resolution is definitely to try to blog more often.
Whatever your wishes are for 2013, I hope you’ll go for them and live them to the full!
Here is a little recap of the year gone by:
