URSUS BAPE Spring / Summer 2011 Lookbook

Japan based URSUS BAPE's Spring/Summer 2011 lookbook looks great! Definitely a grown up and sophisticated version of the "BAPE" man. Compared to previous seasons, the Spring/Summer 2011 line definitely looks much more toned down and restrained.

What I really loved about their lookbook is the presentation style... so well done!

Frank Muytiens - Inside His Brooklyn Home

I love it when I get a peak into influential designer's lives...especially when it's a home visit. Here, Lonny Magazine offers a peak into Frank Muytiens' Brooklyn home. Frank Muytiens of course is the men's chief design director over at J. Crew and has done much to invigorate the J. Crew aesthetic and brand.

I can't wait for the day when a magazine comes and shoots my house and my creative space. One of these days... mark my words.

Maybe I should start to tidy up a bit....

Enjoy the images.

YUCCA - Shanghai. Let's go!

Yucca is a tiny cocktail lounge that just recently opened on the third floor of Mansion 26F in Sinan Mansions, Shanghai. Created by Australian-Greek chef and restauranteur David Laris and designed by Shanghai based Lime 388, the space is a crazy mix of modern Mexican motifs, bold, shocking colors, iron gates, catholic crosses, and religious undertones. Seemingly....one can get lost in here... One can only hope.

Can't wait to go here on my next trip to Shanghai.
