Queensize duvet by Glasgow-based artist David Shrigley
I love the sketchiness of his work.

“In all his work, Shrigley seems to insist on giving place to the abnormal and plays to our fears of the dis-alike, the odd, the peculiar, the insane and irregular, the out-of-control.
So who is he who did this? Well, he’s a big, tall Englishman with a great sense of humour and an odd but likable view of the world. A chronicler of the everyday with an eye for the absurd, the over-looked, the unspeakable and the small rather than the routine or the spectacular.”

But now: Let’s go back to bed:
The best part of being in London every few weeks is that I am working a lot from the bed/office. It can sometimes mean enjoying cold pizza and tasty champagne in bed after work, and It definitely means getting alot more sleep when I am here. This bed is so unbelievably comfy!!!
I already wrote a few months ago, how much I love beds…..here.
Uhm: By the way, Im not JUST hanging out in bed when I am here OF COURSE, I am seeing a lot of art, music, I am working, and meeting new people, partying and improving my language skills.
Now sleep hard and dream rock’n’roll.

WOLF MEN or diamonds are a GUYS best friend…


Wolf men at Prada (click on image for reference)
diamonds are a GUYS best friend…
Prada recently jumped on the creepy animal mask trend, and I was gently reminded by my best friend in NYC
who loves wearing his wolf mask at parties. I MISS NYC! so bad. BUT:
London based design duo ORIA did great Wolf inspired jewelry for guys,
that would also make great groom accessories:
oria-wolves

This collection is based on the Red Wolf (Canis rufus)
10% of our profits from the sale of these pieces will go to the IUCN Red List.

LINGERIE AND BURLESQUE SHOW


image by grantgb.com underwear by enamore

…at LONDON FASHION WEEK.
I had a fabulous Monday afternoon, watching the catwalk show of Enamore.
Drinking vodka martini for lunch while watching a burlesque dancing performance all made for a really enjoyable show.
All the girls were great dancers and the Lingerie looked amazing.
The vintage inspired designs really took Liv far away, back into artistic burlesque shows of the 1920´s.
The designer Jennifer however is really forward thinking, only working with sustainable fabrics and producing everything locally.
Her Bridal Lingerie is lovely. It was great to meet her.
Liv is already a fan of the Nipple Tassles & Pasties

make your cupcakes rock


Autumne from Our Punk Rock Wedding shared her DIY cupake decoration on her blog:
“This may sound kind of ridiculous but we couldn’t afford the colorful frosting for our vegan cupcakes. I have no idea why colorful frosting costs more. It just does. Instead, I decided to print out 120 tiny little album covers that have been meaningful to Graham and I, glue them on popsicle sticks, and put them in each cupcake.
We also didn’t want to spend $40 on a cardboard cupcake stand so Graham made one out of records.
Yeah, we’re kind of music nerds. Don’t judge.”

Of course not! I love the idea and it looks really fun. Extra points for all the great ideas and for the VEGAN cupcakes
and for being cool.

livs latest and sparkliest obsession


here at London Fashion Week I met the Designer Pieter Erasmus
from St. Erasmus Jewelry.
I AM COMPLETELY OBSESSED WITH HIS CREATIONS!
ST•ERASMUS has cultivated a style which
combines traditional techniques with contemporary forms and materials.
The current collection is a beautiful concoction of oxidised silver chain, gold and black crocheted thread and glittering Swarovski crystal.
Extremly sparkly, bold, combinig gold and silver, unique, tradtional&futuristic:

Its for sure the jewelry I would wear on my wedding day. Uhm, actually I would wear it every day.

SNOWBERRY GIVEAWAY GIVEAWAY!!!

snowberry_art-kopie
artwork by London Artist Rob Ryan for Snowberry
I have a pretty awesome GIVEAWAY for you this month:
snowberry_core-range_eye-serum-15ml-kopie
I discovered SNOWBERRY the natural skincare from New Zealand,
during Berlin Fashion Week. We exhibited at the same green, luxury trade show. Thats how Liv got some great samples of their products. Their Eye Serum is really helpful against Livs puffy eyes in the morning. I was happy to win them as a Blog Sponsor, especially as I like the philosophy of the company:

They do not test on animals; and Snowberry is a certified carbon-neutral enterprise by CarboNZero™ because they accept our responsibility to future generations.
Snowberry Founder, Cosmetician Soraya Hendesi’s lifelong fascination with ‘natural beauty’ and her frustration in being unable to find skincare that she felt she could trust, prompted her to begin the demanding but exciting process of creating her own range.
Snowberry, she says, is ‘authentic skincare’ that women can trust to be both safe and effective, because that is what she wanted for herself, her family and her friends. Find out more here.

For your chance to win a original size Bottle of SMOOTIHNG EYE SERUM
all you have to do is leave a comment completing the following sentence:

LOVE IS…..

Closing date will be 24th September 2009
The winner will be chosen at random on the 25th
GOOD LUCK!

smart, sexy, and a little bit fabulous


Liv just discovered this menswearlabel: Commonwealth Utilities
ITS PERFECT TO FIND A SLAMMING GROOM OUTFIT, I PROMISE.
Their website is stunning: there are replicas of the same man standing…
1 putting on a suit, and 2 taking of their suits. HOT!
Their clothes are just amazing, maybe because they are designing with
“the idea of making men smart, sexy, and a little bit fabulous.”
A cool little extra service they are offering on their website is that you can
“ask the concierge” about all fashion related questions you might have.

Anthony from Canada (a CSM graduate) and Richard from Australia met each other in London in 1995. The duo worked in London, and collaborated on many projects in London, New York and Italy. Anthony and Richard now have their own label Commonwealth Utilities, which is based in New York.
Smart, sexy, and a little bit fabulous!

LIV LOVES MONSTERS


image by 20sk Lee Crutchley.
Ive just discovered the trailer for the upcoming story book adaptation of
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE by Spike Jonze and I can’t stop watching it.
It just makes me happy. This could be the best movie of the year!
Why am I posting about a kids movie without any fashion or wedding theme?
I think this is a really healthy escape if you are stressing out about your wedding plans, or just anything that might be getting you uptight!

This movie is about LOVE, about friendship & about GREAT MUSIC
(soundtrack by ARCADE FIREas well as music in the feature by
Karen O from the YYY’s
as well as Carter Burwell!))
Seeing all this MONSTERS just feels so so so very good in this polished fashion world.
I love the monsters, they are dirty, they are honest, they are weird,
they are blushless
, they are cute in a rough way and they look like they really know how to party!

I wanna hang out with them NOW!

about cake


image via little miss wedding

This cake looks so very delicious, I love the homemade not perfect shape.
Plus I am a fruit addict and the berries on top really turn me on.

Liv dislikes cakes that look like design objects, have weird colors or look
clean and boring. Liv likes cakes that look like food and yummy and they
make you eat them with a big spoon or even hands.
I am not a big cake fan in general, I would prefer tons of fresh ripe fruit.
But I like the image of having a huge cake at a wedding for fun.
I like black cake and fruit pies better than classic fancy cakes filled with cream. The one on the picture above could change my mind.

the coolest shoe in the world


I reckon you have seen these already!?
It has been a while since MELISSA launched the ZAHA HADID shoe.
Liv was in love with them within seconds, but wasn’t able to find out
how to get them…
Zaha Hadid, British Iraqi deconstructivist architect and the first female recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, is world renowned for her influential and groundbreaking designs. She has teamed up with Melissa to create one of the most iconic and collectible shoes of our time. This radical style has round forms, asymmetrical cuts, and an absolutely original avant-garde design. According to the architect, the inspiration came from fluid movements which accompany the lines of the body. Each pair is packaged inside a molded plastic case.

Simply put: these are some of the most iconic and unique womens shoes ever conceived.

Now I just got a Newsletter from my favorite little shop in my old neighbourhood in NYC and: they are selling them: here!
.
I WANT THEM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!! THIS IS A NUMBER
ONE OF MY WISHLIST: MY SHOESIZE EUR 38 US 7, by the way ; )
