Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is one of my favorite stories of all time, so you can imagine my excitement when I found out that Parisian department store, Printemps, had asked a few designers to design a piece based on it for their window displays in February.
The first piece I’ve seen so far has been Nicholas Kirkwood, who was inspired by the White Rabbit. Kinda over-the-top, but it makes me really excited to see what everyone else comes up with.
I really hope some talented young designer soon decides to be inspired by cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema of the movie, Let the Right One In, and bases a line of clothing on it. I would probably most definitely wear it.

This reminded me of Wes so much that I had to repost it. A few months ago the flusher on our toilet broke. I came home from work and there was an antique doorknob in its place. To flush, all you have to do is pretend that you’re opening a door.
This led me to discover more hilarious (and yet practical) DIY solutions:
Why is it that I am fine with taxidermy, and yet this art form turns my stomach? Revolting, but I can not look away:
I just about passed out when I saw that Hermès was charging $840 for their leather flying caps (not including goggles).. and what’s worse, they SOLD OUT!
Why not just do what I did and pay $33.95 (or $75 w/ goggles), by ordering yours from U.S. Wings? Look at you, smartypants!
Modern bee hives are built of supers, this is technically a Langstroth hive. These supers are begging to be used in the house for something. You can get them here.
I saw these in Vogue Italia back in June or July, tore them out and saved them for no good reason. I don’t know why, but it sure makes me want to buy an animal shaped hat against my better judgment.

This circle scarf by American Apperal is my new best friend. I’ve had it for only 3 days and have already worn it 4 different ways. Worth. Every. Penny.
Behold the wonders of the circle scarf:

Formed sheet aluminum has the ability to make me weak with a greedy, covetous feeling. Here are a few nice examples:

British graffiti artist, Banksy, has been a favorite street artist of mine for a long time. His high quality tags are not only an upscale alternative to the amature scribble, but they provoke thought and meaning as well. I have to say, I’m pretty excited to see this (trailer below) when it comes out!
My favorite horror movie character of all time.
