Fashion Vegetable Garden

Earlier this year high fashion brands styled their runways with fruits and vegetables to remind ourselves that "green" in now rooted in fashion's soil and soul. The association of fashion and vegetable was a surreal association, but fun. Healthy living designers like Dolce & Gabbanna, Ferragamo and Trusardi created a runway of vegetable and fruit prints, to remind ourselves that we are what we eat, but are we also what we wear?


The Green message is quickly becoming popular in the fashion industry, we are happy to hear that designers are wanting to transmit the "green" message throughout their designs and at same time promoting a healthy living.

DIY: Shelve Project

We found this great DIY project on how to make a shelf with fruit boxes. If you are looking for a practical and original way to store things at home this is the way to do it. Just follow the steps below.

To do this project you will need to look for fruit boxes with a good size. You can get them at any supermarket at the end of the day when they throw them away. The number of boxes will depend on how many modules you want to make. 

Once you have the boxes you can start sanding the borders and any imperfections. You don't have to worry if they look a little rustic, thats one of the projects charm. If you want a more professional finish you can apply a layer of varnish so that all the boxes have the same tone. Once they are dry you can start your distribution through the wall.

The Argan tree, found only in South West of Morocco called Argana, blossoms in the the desert-like conditions and produces fruits much like olives yet larger and rounder. Inside the fruit grows a large nut up to three almond shape kernels which are the source to this miraculous oil(Argan).

Tucker has an impeccable fit and quality, every pieces tells a story and depending on the print a fun and distinctive name is given, making each piece very unique.

Tuckers pieces are characterized by an exciting array of contradictions, the silks are luxurious but not precious, the pieces are agile yet bold, the look is never contrived but always carefully considered.

Movie: To Rome With Love

A great movie to watch this summer is "To Rome With Love" written and directed by Woody Allen
TO ROME WITH LOVE is a kaleidoscopic comedy movie set in one of the world's most enchanting cities. The film brings us into contact with a well-known American architect reliving his youth; an average middle-class Roman who suddenly finds himself Rome's biggest celebrity; a young provincial couple drawn into separate romantic encounters; and an American opera director endeavoring to put a singing mortician on stage.
While Rome is a city abundant with romance and comedy, Woody Allen's TO ROME WITH LOVE is about people having adventures that will change their lives forever.
