Geometric Art by Aakash Nihalani

Spotted these geo designs by new york-based artist Aakash Nihalani and they instantly reminded me of the Progetti clocks.

Aakash Nihalani creates amazing tape installions around New York streets that pop with fluro colour. Check out some more of his work here.

Something about the use of cut-outs and colour really reminds me of our new clocks from Italian designers, Progetti. The edges and corners aren't as clean-cut as Aakash's art, but the softened geometric shape would make for a stunning focal point in a living or dining room.

If you are wearing a toilet paper wedding dress, don't honeymoon in Venezuela.

Have you seen this wedding dress constructed out of toilet paper yet? Yes, it's totally bananas and yes it would be absolutely tragic if it decided to rain, but we can't help but wonder how fun this would have been if one of the coloured toilet paper rolls by Renova were used.



Dare I say it, the creation on the right actually looks rather pretty! Those ruffles, its darling. On the other hand, if the one on the left was created from the Renova pink toilet paper below, it'd probably work as a cost-effective costume for the next Toddlers and Tiaras pageant.

You could go chic with the Renova black loo roll to create the little black dress above. Again, please carry an umbrella.

Hmm, we reckon that the kimono would look even more fetching in the bright red, you agree?

A toilet paper dress is definitely an idea for the lowest budget, unless you're in Venezuela, where the toilet paper shortage means that it's probably cheaper to just buy an actual dress.

As an extra thought along the toilet paper wedding dress line though, lets hope that the toilet paper brides don't decide to honeymoon in Venezuela any time soon, it could get messy.

6 of our favourite modern egg cups!

How do you like yours? Not your creme egg, but the real protein-packed variety...dippy? Boiled like a rock? With a pleasant little squidge when the golden butter-lashed finger of toast brushes the yolk? Maybe I'm being a bit over-the-top expelling the virtues of this humble breakfast, but it's definitely high up on my list of all-time breakfast treats.

The brunch-based marvel that we refer to as Egg and Soldiers is all too often something that we only get time  to indulge in on an odd weekend brunch. Well, you can keep your hollandaise sauce, the only thing we need to fancy up the humble egg is a dashing little egg cup!

This post was partly (well, mostly) inspired by the adorable little white and blue egg cup in Huma's post on her blog HerLittlePlace.



Below is a round-up of 6 of our favourite modern egg cups that'd be perfect for accessorising a treat of a breakfast.

On red weddings and ruby weddings.

After last night's game of thrones, I think we'll definitely stick to furnishing ruby weddings rather than red weddings. I can imagine that for a game of throne's style red wedding the gift guide would need to include chain-mail, shields and the odd crossbow or two.

Ruby weddings on the other hand tend to be a lot more genteel.....check out our ruby wedding gift guide below for some red wedding gift ideas! The red vases and red wine glasses also work perfectly well as complements to a red wedding theme. Think of red vases filled with red roses, pretty right?

In true Don Draper style, the list kicks off with whiskey and cognac glasses, that we could imagine the Mad Man himself knocking back the Canadian Club whiskey from.

Father's Day Gift Ideas For The Dad....That Loves Coffee

Right, we're determined to make sure that you're all set for ideas for Father's Day on Sunday 16th June, so we've carefully curated some of the coolest gift ideas for your beloved dad!

Today we're having a little gander at some gift ideas for the dad that loves coffee, we all know the type...the one that tells you you're brewing it wrong and admonishes you for going near anywhere near your coffee cup with a splash of milk. We've rounded up a mighty fine selection of our favourite gifts for any budding barista dad below!

1. Koziol Unplugged Coffee Machine

A cute and affordable little filter coffee maker that'd be ideal for the office. Just pop the filter in the top for a superior tasting drip-coffee, much better than any of that instant malarkey.

2. La Cafetiere Classic Stove Top Espresso Maker

They say that the most superior way to brew coffee is with a stove-top espresso maker. Simply load the coffee into the container in the base, screw the top section on and let the steam travel up through the freshly ground beans and distil in the top segment. Divine!

3. Guzzini Latina Storage Jar - red

Your dad will need somewhere to keep all those coffee beans right? If he's the sort of father that knows his Arabica from his Robusta, he'll definitely appreciate this gorgeous storage jar that keeps them in sight and makes a gorgeous kitchen counter feature.

Check out the rest after the jump!

6 of the coolest colourful stairs

We're stepping away from our usual interior accessories and having a look at stairs this week. Through our wanders on Pinterest we've been bedazzled by these cute and colourful staircases and steps. Just the thing to add a cool pop of colour to any home, we love the idea of customising your staircase to make it an eye-catching design feature.

If 2012 was all about ombre and dip dye, the neon look is possibly the most interesting way to incorporate the hot fluro trend of 2013 into your home. Bonus points to the steps in #5 that have their own colourful knitted cosy things too!
