Photo of the day: McCarons

My sister sent me this photo last night and it confirmed another reason why I belong in France. The parisian McDonalds carry the sweet little french cookies macarons for about 1.20$/each. Yes I know you can find macarons anywhere in France but now fast food joints have it.. pretty darn cool.. I am packing my bags, Paris here I come! It sounds better than "Would you like an apple pie with that?"

Tokidoki X Sephora

Tokidoki has ventured in the world of makeup and has partnered up with none other than Sephora to make it happen. The line will feature a huge variety of eye liners, eye shadows, bronzers and brushes. Obviously it would not be Tokidoki if it didnt come in a great packaging.

Julia Chiang loves NY

I recently put up a post of an installation by the Brooklyn based artist Julia Chiang, I am mesmorized by her work. This friday, she is launching with The Standard NY an exclusive edition of 50 glazed porcelain apples. Chiang chose the apple because it is a symbol of desire and an icon of the city of New York.

The installation "One of Kind" shown in the last picture is made out of Ring Pop candy's that have been melted over time.

quote of the day

Fafi for Adidas Spring/Summer 2010

My favorite collaboration is at it again, Fafi is teaming up with Adidas for a Spring/Summer 2010 collection. I was already in love with the Fall 2009 collection but now I am drooling for this upcoming one! So many things to buy.....

" Unlike last collaborations with Adidas, I really wanted to be involved in graphic design as well as styling, all the pieces are inspired by my own closet, stuff I founded in vintage stores or during my trips. This is a very colorful spring/summer 2010 collection to celebrate the end of a cold winter, good times with friends, get noticed at airports and music festivals! ~ Fafi "

Alice + Olivia X Keds

I love collabs, I think you can gather that from my many postings... This time it is designer Alice + Olivia to partner up with Keds, for a fun glittering sneaker. The collection is four different colors (black, silver, pale pink and safari green) pairs of sequin-encrusted laceless slip-ons. They sell for $88US. Is Alice + Olivia for Keds just one step towards Keds' intended fashion-forward repositioning? Most likely, since Keds has future collaborations with designer already in the works..stay tuned!
