This is one of the most interesting night club designs I’ve come across – my party animal days are long over but I’d still like to make a pit stop at Josefine/Roxy in Belo Horizonte in southeastern Brazil when I’m there. I’m such a sucker for geometry! It was previously designed by Brazilian architect Fred Mafra, then redesigned again by him!

LN-CC is a new London based retail concept consisting of an online space and 6,000sq ft brick and mortar space in East London designed by set designer Gary Card. It has seven different concept rooms – three for clothing, a book and record store, a club space with a vintage sound system for private events and a working photography studio and is linked together by a futuristic tunnel constructed from raw wood and orange acrylic.
Some of my fav AW11 looks from their brilliantly curated selection of brands – all available online – Junya Watanabe, Jil Sander, Ann Demeulemeester, Christopher Waller and Maison Martin Margeila!
From their website:
The original idea behind our project was to create an all encompassing world, combining the roots of traditional retail twinned with the progressive nature of the online boom. We wanted to achieve this in a way that has never been done before and that will, hopefully, never be subsequently bettered.
This project is more than a store, it’s an evolving platform of curated ideas encompassing clothing, music and art in both a physical and digital environment.

New blog stalk – The Coveted. It’s a bit like The Selby meets The Sartorialist – The Coveted takes you inside the homes and closets of the fashion elite. Gorgeous photography.. totally digging this!

This landed in my inbox today and is too gorgeous not to share – Vogue.com’s Lauren Santo Domingo turns the camera on herself:
I really like looking at how other people store their books, especially those with a huge collection. Saw this today and I just love the combination of earthy colours, retro furniture (is that a Saarinen tulip table I spy in the first picture?) and eclectic collection of knick knacks and accessories (hippo bar?? yes please).. and a whole wall of vinyls! Love!

Feeling inspired again to continue working on my apartment. I have some leftover furniture that from earlier that I need to get rid of, which is taking up too much space. My apartment lacks serious storage, though it’s not really a design flaw. Existing built-ins are quite enough for the average person but I have too many shoes! Finally did a massive clean and have bags of clothes, handbags and accessories that will be driven off to Salvo’s this weekend hopefully! A bit ashamed of my consumption habits, some of these things are brand new with tags still on and I can’t be bothered to list them on eBay. An unofficial 2011 resolution perhaps – stop buying things I don’t really need! How many of you do that? It’s hard to be a girl! :)
I’m really looking forward to my weekend although it’s hard to top last Sunday.. hope you have a great one wherever you are!
Some amazing pictures from The Selby’s 2010 favourites. My inbox has been full of good news, design inspiration and awesome music this week – AND one of my girlfriends got engaged – I’m super hyped!
