travel :: hotel du petit moulin - paris chic!

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_WzmCESXRh1Y/Rvvb6fA1BLI/AAAAAAAACFE/ZkknHXO-4D0/IMG_5970.jpg



Leave it to designer Christian Lacroix to punch up the renovated interior of this once 17th century bakery with his colorful eccentric style. Hotel du Petit Moulon is a bargain for the wallet and eye candy for the senses when visiting Paris. CL was inspired by "the slightly twisted perspectives, the maze-like passageways on the different floors and the new functional areas which have been added repecting the "old Paris" style of the building."
The glitsy glam polka dot King went to town when he transformed each of its seventeen rooms into his signature fashion fantasy swathed with mod printed silks, velvets, linens and exotic murals in rainbow colors. There is no one style in this place - it runs the gamut from Baroque, and sci-fi to Scandinavian modern - heck, the hotel even has a polka dot staircase! And when you step through the door of this ancient pâtisserie , gone is the aroma of fresh baked baguettes, replaced by divinely scented aromatic candles.The seventeen luxury rooms include modern amenities such as air-conditioning, Wi-Fi access, a flat-screen television, a guest safe and a minibar.

furniture :: colorful seating

cool stools
The "Naboo" stool is a stylishly colorful design from Bulgarian architect , Ivan Arnaudov, who after eight years in the architectural industry, took a detour from his architectural career, and ventured out onto the the highway of furniture design. From the looks of these hip seating creations I think his route choice was right on, don't you? His racey, multicolored, abstract friendly designs are eye candy for any modern interior. Check out an interview with Ivan Arnaudov and more of his designs at Homeport.

Because they're JUST COOL, I want 'em!

design :: decayed beauty

London based Twig Hutchinson's spaces are awe inspiring if you like the look of finely aged antiques and distressed and decayed walls. Which I do!







Each is infused with layers and textures and shabby goodness, but what I like most about this magical look that she creates, is that NOTHING is perfect.

It's JUST COOL dreamy-ness at its best!

cool product :: coke gone chic

Just in time for Milan's Women's Fashion Week in September, Coke gets an extreme makeover from Italian Designer Roberto Cavalli.


His signature animal print patterns will dress up these curvaceous little bottles, giving them a chic and sexy new look. Problem is, we here in the US won't see them on our grocery shelf "runways". Only 300,000 bottles will be distributed exclusively in Italy from September through December.

Oh well...but aren't they JUST COOL?
