oh babies and halloween

I really wish that the pictures were bigger, sorry. The last one is a christmas ornament, I find it so funny to think that your child would want to be an ornament. The shark and billy goat make me giggle as well. I am having alot of fun this Halloween looking through all of these costumes. There is really something out there for everyone and just this mix alone, states it very well.

Time for science

albinogator

The renovated  Academy of Science in Golden Gate park, SF, is now open and I couldn't be happier. It is such an amazing place with lots to see.  I wish I took a pic of the penguins, they are too cute and stinky...who knew

Cool Treehouses

Designed by Bauraum, a design agency in Germany. You can contract them to custom design your perfect treehouse. 

Designed by Tom Chudleigh, called his free spirit spheres and are eco friendly.

Nestled among the fir trees in Lake Muskoka, Ontario, is this design by Lukasz Kos.

Kenley and Alexander

I had to dig up this photo after watching project runway last night with Kenley's wedding dress. It is very similar to Alexander McQueen's. It is utterly fantastic, I would get married in this dress in a heartbeat. But since I'm already married, I would even wear it just out on the town, or grocery shopping or where ever the day took me really...

Gareth Pugh shows in Paris

This is his first show in Paris since winning the ANDAM fashion award this summer and moving his fashion house to the city of light. I love that you see everyone in white as they come to you and black as they walk away.

Booster seats for Ella

Ella is way to young now, but one day we will have found the best one to boost her bum.

One of my favorite artists

Her name is Kelly Tunstall and she lives here in San Francisco. I absolutely love her paintings and in one of her latest shows, she did some mini installations of fun objects (middle pic). I can't wait to take Ella to the next one.

Martin Margiela SP/SU 09 Paris

This Belgium designer was known for being the 7th member of the Antwerp Six, a group of avantgarde designers that all graduated in 80/81 from the Antwerp Royal Academy. 

I would never wear any of these designs, other than to a costume party, but he did really hit the mark for playing with negative space. 

Hussein Chalayan SP/SU09

They filled the back of the dresses with latex to form them as if they were still in motion. Paris fashion week, always brings out the best in avant garde.
