warm and cozy clothing

August 30th, 2007

It’s what I’ve always wanted but didn’t know they existed. Due to my poor sewing skills I never made them myself and now I found out that someone produces them: Fleece boot inserts for cold feet in gumboots. Great! Reminds me of Maiko and her fabulous kidney-warmers (unfortunately no photos online).

Finding the right travel guide

August 30th, 2007

…isn’t easy. A cheap and fun way to sightseeing is to use the moleskine city notebooks. They’re tiny (plus black – so looking into the map doesn’t instantly reveal you’re a tourist), filled with a map, a subway map, sheets for notes, categories such as eating and drinking, shopping or accommodations (you can actually create your own categories, eg. money spent, online links, etc.), a few more nice gadgets and a pocket at the back (eg. to keep tickets).
I might get one for Venice as that’s a place I keep coming to and always spent a lot of time looking for “that shop” or “that certain Osteria”… It might even be fun to have one of your hometown.

Package design on a polish airplane

August 29th, 2007

If you ever have the choice between flying LOT or something else – choose something else. The service is shitty and the planes are old. So, anyways – the food (no good) comes in nicely packaged reusable boxes. You can extract the postcard (included in the lid) and pass some waiting time by writing someone a card from international airspace, how nice.

Introducing the banana bunker

August 29th, 2007

If you have friends who eat lots of bananas this is really great gift. You can actually shape the box plus it’s dishwasher safe. Made in the USA (what will they think of next? ;-)

No time to fuck

August 29th, 2007

I’m back online with a long list of things to share. One of them is Nicole Locher and her fabulous embroidery on shirts. To counterbalance the antiquity of elegant embroidery “she adds the playful charm of a dirty saying – such as: will fuck for shoes, I don’t play nice, you suck,…”
Don’t you just love it?!
