Colour my world.

In a few months I am leaving New Zealand to experience the big wide world so I have been doing quite a bit of research into places to stay, I'm going to Asia and India so this doesn't really apply to me but if your planning on going to Brussels it does!
Colour experts Pantone, have recently opened up a Hotel located in the heart of brussels. "The Hotel of colours" designed by Belgian interior designer Michel Penneman and architect Oliver Hannaert feature 59 rooms and suites each decorated with one of seven different Pantone colour palettes.

I would love one of those bicycles.

Up, up, up.

I love this short documentry on the billboard painters of New York who hand paint huge billboards all over NYC. I saw some amazing ones done for marc Jacobs when I was New York a couple of years ago.

I only wish, all advertising was done like this.

Let's make a promise.

I just finished watching the Darjeeling Limited again, I love it. I am going to India soon, so watching the movie movie made me really excited about it.
I really love Wes Anderson, he and his movies are just so stylish and cool.
I cry and yell every time they throw away their Marc Jacobs luggage at the end of the movie though.

Also Adrien Brody is a babe.

Gentlewoman of Bacongo

Lately Ive been making a concentrated effort to integrate patterns and colour into my wardrobe, I wear far to much black! Which is why I love these looks from Paul Smith they remind some of the 'Sapeurs' the elegantly dressed men from the Congo which were photographed in the book Gentlemen of Bacongo by Daniele Tamagni.
Upon further research I have discovered this line was in fact inspired by the images in the book and that the Pink suit number was actually a reproduction of the books cover.
