Emmanuelle Moureaux Architecture + Design designed these colorful buildings that are so much fun! Can you believe that they are actually banks in Japan? Incredible! The top one is Shimura Branch and the bottom two are the Niiza Branch and Tokiwadai Branch. Check out the rest of their cool designs most of them full of bright multi-colors here. Their entire website is an extremely inspiring collection of work.

Alliances By Elitis

I love the Alliances 3D wallpaper line by French textile firm Elitis. The line is made from fabric thermo-formed over foam on a non-woven backing. They say it took two years to develop. Worth it, don’t you think?

Think Pink ;)

I woke up in a rather cheerful and girlie mode today. Perhaps this has to do with the sunny weather, I'm planning to absorb all the sunlight today. So, excuse my pink post, I couldn't help it ..

Hope you are having a great day !

In her collection The colors are perfect and the design is flawless. she mixed up light chiffons with silk failles and wool satins. Elegant, yet touchable. Beautiful, yet entirely wearable.
