Measure Your Success

They say to Measure twice, cut once. This inspired master designer Christian Louboutin, who created these amazing shoes. He can make a crisp utilitarian tool very sexy.
The minions (like me) who could only dream of owning a pair of Louboutins, can translate the trend more practically . Some cost-cutting measures of the fad- Brooches made of the tape (lianakabel.com) Stash all the $ you save from NOT buying the Louboutin's in a wallet by Undone Clothing at Etsy.

an Apple a Day

I love the mac store on 59th and 5 ave, NYC. It's all glass so it takes up the least visual space in a city where there's visual stimuli overload.I tried to take photos of the glass elevator and the store with my phone but they came out lame. As usual.
Then I went to the apple store website. They have a VIRTUAL TOUR of the store that is INCREDIBLE!

And congratulate your representative for a running a good, clean race with a new carpet stair runner in grey.
