new obsessions

We just got this life-sized mirrored skeleton from the French-based design collective Domestic, and I'm nuts for it. Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel of Belgian cult duo Studio Job are behind the 5-foot-5 laser-cut Perspex wall decoration. The influential pair have worked with ceramics heritage house Royal Tichelaar Makkum and fashion avant guardians Viktor & Rolf.
Also love the "I Love Me" hearts by graphic designers Ich&Kar. The pair have given their whimsical take on fashion, food, music, design and architecture--and now these laser-cut mirrors. It's a grouping of individual mirrors that can be configured in whatever pattern you desire.
Now if I can only figure out where to stick them all in our house!

The Charming Charms are the bonafide bijoux of summer--their $22-$40 price for 3, being part of the appeal. Dutch designer Tord Boontje and L.A. studio Artecnica collaborated on this brand new collection of charms, plated in 18-karat gold or sterling silver and dangling from a black cotton cord. Loop them on hoop earrings, off a metal chain or silk ribbon, or from your purse. Each group contains 3 charms, and there are 4 different groups to choose. I love all 12 together, and knot them individually on a cord so they can be seen better.

what's in store?

Tix Going Fast: First Dita Von Teese U.S. Show in Years

After a two-year long hiatus, Dita Von Teese will finally be shedding her feathers and crystals this Wednesday night at The Avalon in Hollywood. About time. The night will feature extraordinary new costumes by Michael Schmidt, along with the U.S. debut of DVT's sold-out "Le Bain Noir" show from Le Crazy Horse in Paris. (Her engagements there in the last year marked the first time an outsider from Le Crazy Horse troupe performed at the celebrated nightclub, and they were crammed nightly with fans from the fashion and entertainment worlds. No surprise the Parisians adore her!)
Another special highlight at Wednesday's show is the line-up, a veritable reunion of the burlesque sensation's long-time pals: Ava Garter, L’Effleur Des Sens, Mayte, Murray Hill, Raja and Selene Luna. (We adore Selene!)

Tickets really are a steal at $30, given they go for much more than that at her Paris gigs and elsewhere.
See you there!
