Somewhat Boberika...

Crazy eyes...

I've seen these paper eyelashes a few times now and the concept is pretty cool. I’m pretty sure using paper to create that dramatic look is not the first thing that comes to mind, but it looks like a trend that is becoming increasing popular. These unique eyelashes are inspired by the art of Chinese paper cutting to carve intricate designs. The eyelashes can be applied with regular eyelash glue and unlike fake ones can be used multiple times...

Trick or Treat...

Need some inspiration for dressing up this Halloween? I love this beautiful headpiece by Aturo Rios, so unique...

Time to get baking...

Need some inspiration for Halloween treats without too much effort? I like the cupcake kits you can get from sites like Amazon for as little as £2.99 to buff up your baking a making it look amazing. but if you have time on your hand's I'm sure you can get creative and make your own paper cutouts...

What section will I get?

My latest art purchase is this vintage skull and roses original, printed on a page of and old dictionary by RococcoCo...

The Minotaur...

Last night I went to the impressive labyrinth cultural spectacular The Minotaur. Set in the Old Vic Tunnels beneath the railway at Waterloo station, the exhibition is a series of installations, giant frescos, interactive exhibits and unique renditions featuring the artists of Lazarides Gallery Group alongside the culinary adventurism of Kofler & Kompanie's Pret A Diner.It's random things like this that makes me love living in London...

No heads required...

Marginalised from their intended purpose as decanters of sickly scents, these covetable collectibles by Rebecca Wilson from her 'Blow Me' collection are niffty...

Bincho...

Price range: High

Boncho Yakitori Soho is a great place for a warm, cosy meal of mini treats. After a few cocktails we headed to Bincho and tried a selection of tasty dishes. To end the meal we had the most delicious perfectly baked self saucing chocolate cake with hazelnut ice-cream. My only grip was that it's a bit pricey (or they gave us the wrong bill?)...

Peek a boo...

I love the V&A shop, as there are so many cute treasures! Like these tea cups where an animal will appear the more you drink...

Meeting of Styles...

On Saturday I went along to the aerosol showcase Meeting of Styles. It was very impressive and interesting to see the different styles of each artist and a rainbow pallet of colours that went on forever...

Whooof Whoof...

With winter well on it's way in the UK I am feeling very inclined to roaring fires, chestnuts, red wine, dark, cosy rooms and a small dog at my feet, but none of those things are at hand right now, so these animal lamps from Atelier Abigail Ahern, are perfect for my winter evening dream...

Make a wish...

A birthday gift that can also be worn and kept as a keepsake beyond the moment of blowing out the candle. Created by Bettina Nissen, working with local fabricators using a process known as 3D Printing or Rapid Prototyping, where a laser fuses small particles of plastic to a 3-D object... 

Super-String...

During the London Design Festival my Friend Ed had fantastic steel sculpture called 'Super-String' which was a blend art, design engineering and parametric modelling. I had a 5min coffee break interview with him:

Who are you? My name is Edoardo Tibuzzi

What do you do? I am part of a special unit in my company (AKT II), we research, develop, design and study complex geometry structures.

What is Super-String? A modular construction formed into a branching chain of units, where each can rotate to give different three dimensional configurations. In physics Super-String Theory is a model for the fundamental structure of matter where all of the particles and forces of nature are represented as vibrations of tiny supersymmetric strings. How many nuts and bolts are in the struc-ulpture We used around 3000 and it is 8m L x 5m W x 2.4m H.

Where are all the mini people hiding...

I'm pretty short, but crop tops (that seem to be everywhere) aren't even long enough on me. So where are all these children sized women hiding? or is this a ploy for fashion houses to cut costs, due to the economic climate? Where are these ladies that love to show their mid-drifts? Even with my ripped six pack (cough) I'm not a fan of this trend and can't wait for it to be out the door, unless we start seeing crop knits for winter? Oh dear...

The Duke of Cambridge is UK's first and only certified organic pub and what a hidden gem. As you can probably guess the food was superb and there were really drink options. A great ethical business with a freindly atmosphere...
