When skating and surfing are combined...Loop-In

According to this designer...if skate boarding and surfing were to have a baby...this is what it will look like. It looks like so much fun and it can be played on any type of surface. You just need to be able to control the wheels and keep our balance within the wheels to have a good time.

I can't even walk in a straight line, I don't know if I can keep myself within those two wheels haha. But you never know until you try...and as I've learned from snowboarding, you need to try a few times too.

Swarovski - design competition - old school gaming

Swarovski had a design competition and this is what one team came up with. They brought old school games back to life using Swarovski crystals. So you know what age group they are trying to target with these pieces haha.

We have Pac-Man, Tetris and Space Invader. If these haven't gone into production yet, I would like to request the space invader necklace as a pair of earrings instead ;)

Here is where I got this article:

Sonia Rykiel teaming up with H&M

Looks like Sonia Rykiel and H&M will be teaming up for two projects. For winter 2009, they will be introducing a lingerie line and for Spring 2010 they will be releasing a knitwear line.

I love knitwear...its so comfy and easy, too bad they aren't releasing the knitwear first....o well, I usually forget the exact drop date and never make it in time to get anything :( Everything in New York goes so fast. You can't have a job if you want the good deals, but you can't buy anything if you don't have a job.

Nars Loves New York

Nars will be making a personal appearance at Saks on 10/8 from 1:30-3 and a team of make up artists will be giving consultations the day this limited collection goes on sale. I just wish they would tell us what the colors are.

I know a lot of people like the 'Orgasm' blush color but that one doesn't look good on me, I like their 'Deep Throat' color. I love buying make up, but I only wear it when I go out at night...so to-date, I have only finished one item - bronzing powder. But I will continue to buy...because I am a girl :)

2014 Winter Olympics - Sochi, Russia

Now, in my search to see what the other 2016 Olympic bidders mocked up, I came across this one...2014 Winter Olympics!!! This looks so out of this world!!! I can't wait to see the final out come of this stadium. They say its going to look even better with the mountains in the background.

Got the image from this site:

Congrats - Rio

I am happy Rio won the bid, I think the city could really use something like this. They need the help with tourism because people always talk about how dangerous it is.

I don't know if it's because China set a standard for the Olympics, the fact that President Obama went to support Chicago's bid, or Michael Phelps winning big time last year. But I feel like this event is really back on everyone's radar. Or is it me...and I am just growing up and becoming more interested in the rest of the world. Because for the 2004 Olympics in Greece, the only highlight I can remember is the designer they picked to make the outfits (and of course the fact that the Olympics came from Greece).

Here are the ideas from the other countries:


The first one if Madrid, followed by Japan (stadium would have used solar power), and Chicago.

Sugar and Spice....and Everything Nice

This is so cute!!!! This will be the next theme for girl's night in :)

But I see this turning into a big sweet mess...with ice cream everywhere
