It may be a little crazy, but I find it adorable. Take a wall in your apartment, maybe close to the kitchen or in the kids room -if you have any-, and instead of painting, create a huge blackboard. Yes, like the one you had at school, the one every morning a student had the honour -or the burden- to clean, so to start a brand new day of lessons.

I find it amusing, I love that you can write weekly appointments or your grocery lists. And maybe I am being a fussy advocate of the environmentalist cause, but think of the paper you could save with something like that! And then, to take the list with you instead of taking a piece like a Flingstone would, simply snap a picture with your mobile and bring it with you around the city. How simple is that?!

La potete trovare nel suo colore forse più popolare, il rosso, o anche in versioni limited edition come quella qui sotto, realizzata da Fritz Hansen, dedicata al 30° anniversario del fumetto “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy“. Ne hanno fatte solo 42, ma credo che gli zeri per comprarla fossero un paio di troppo… e che perfino ebay non potrebbe aiutare ad averla in casa!
E’ tanto bellina però…

E poi, se qualcuno ama questo meraviglioso pezzo d’arredamento, ma preferisce la versione estiva… beh, io vado matta anche per quello che si vede in Sex and the City, The Movie, quando le quattro scapestrate sono in Messico. Non ho idea di chi sia o chi la venda, ogni suggerimento è più ben che accetto!

The idea is fairly simple: buy a vase (this one, not any vase otherwise disaster on the way!), fill half with soil, choose a plant and insert roots in the designated space, close with the provide disk and hang, upsidedown. Easy!

Why someone should go in such trouble for a plant?! well, few reason… Patrick Morris’ idea was to find a system that could save water, and with these vases you can save up to 90%. And that means also you can water your plant just once or twice a month… which is great for people like me whose green thumb appears only in case of some odd alien-like illness!
Moreover, it saves space and does not mess around. And, if you have a cat, it nicely saves your poor leaves from being nibbled around…

I looked through Style.com Style.com archives and I would like to share a few images with you… samples that made an impression on the fashion world, pictures showing a missing designer, someone who will never be able to shock the crowd with models thrown on the catwalk with hornes, their covered faces, or with gravity challenging heels and hats. One last catwalk for a lonely soul, who couldn’t find in his everyday wonderful creations enough reasons to live.
