carnival of ideas

Encouraging creativity and a workspace that is as fun as a carnival,  Ogilvy & Mather's Guangzhou office also inspires the company's 360 degree thinking. Designed by M Moser Associates, the office was selected as one of the recipients of the 3rd Annual China's Most Successful Design Award 2008. How rad is it to work in an office like that?

tickle your stylebuds

Madly in love with that oversized blazer by Cecilia Ku Wun Ting (£180), complete with a brass belt. Fannie Sciavoni's chain detail print dress (£120), on the other hand is just the perfect blend of black and white, my two loves. These two designs are part of an exclusive collection of 100 one-off designs by students of London College of Fashion, that are available on sale for ASOS Ltd 100 project.

TGIF, but I got to work tomorrow. On a different note, I need a new pair of shoes pronto! How fierce are those mesh Pierre Hardys?

my little (fabulous) pony

Say hello to Mulberry Pony Calf Bayswater in Cerise. The Fall/Winter 2009 collection includes new interpretations (and colors) of the iconic Bayswater: exotic ostrich skin, croc print suede, and pony calf. Love how it blends perfectly with the black fur skirt, orange leather bracelet and the hint of purple. My oh my, makes you just want to stroke it, no? Stunning!

Goodbye silly June, hello July! The supermodel streak continues at YSL with Christy Turlington for its Fall/Winter 2009 ad campaign.
