Ah ha! What a brilliant and super sneaky idea these are! If you are like me and the thought of putting your precious lunch in the office fridge is like sending it down a massive black hole into a pit of squabbling deformed rats, then this might be the perfect solution for you!
Pack your self up with a few at the Lost At E Minor store.

This is the new necklace I just got delivered from NJ, USA based fashion designers Pyknic. Fantastic right? I LOVE food, so putting it closer to my heart is a rather appropriate next step I think. Wicked illo of the guys behind the brand too - The Chef and The Butcher. I was at a gourmet food magazine launch recently and I wore this to get in the spirit (and to match the aesthetic of the articles I designed). Very nerd-burger, I know. However, guess who came over to make a point of appreciation? - none other than “G’Day I’m Peter Russel-Clarke”. Check out more designs from Pyknic.

Dang I love this New York inspired adaption of traditional Dutch Delft by lovegrove & repucci. Each place setting is made of fine porcelain and has five pieces; a dinner plate, side plate, soup bowl, cup and saucer. Check it.

So I’m like 10 years behind and only just finished Season 3 of this wacky series, first aired in 2005. Created and developed by Rob McElhenney (stars as Mack), Glenn Howerton (Dennis), and Charlie Day (Charlie), it has been described by most as the new age Seinfeld - although this gang’s exploits are far more raw, pink and hairy than Jerry’s ever could be. Yes, they are horrible, self-centered people that turn on each other every which way but you can’t help but laugh at them along the way. Great escapism, give it a gander.

MAC is doing something well cool with their make up campaigns at the moment. They are inviting chosen artists to visually interpret a cosmetic collection in their own style. Cool huh? Click the image to view more.
