Sleeping Beauty
Everyone needs their beauty sleep.
This means the whole 8 hours, comfy sleepwear, a great mattress, a sleek bed frame and a set of luxurious sheets (preferably 1500 thread count in sateen Egyptian cotton, but that's a little ways away).
Founded by Caressa Allen, Luxury Lab is the perfect place for slightly off-kilter bedspreads. It's artsy, graphic and a little humorous, with linen titles such as "Just Like Heaven" (angel wings), "Phoenix Rising" (of course, the phoenix), "Elegant Mayhem" (skulls and black chandeliers), "Let Friendship Begin" (the claddagh ring) and "Your Best Shot" (archers).
The sheets are made in 300 thread count in 100% Egyptian cotton, meaning it's waaaaay softer than Charmin makes claim. All the graphics and print are crafted in India, where local artisans color dye the sheets with water-based hues. Luxury Lab is a "go green!" company, their vision being to promote the global economy and to use eco-conscious materials.
Luxury Lab makes the world better for you, for me and for bedtime.
I'm Lovin' it: These Chanel outfits from the Fall 2007 RTW collection! No designer in the world does tweeds better than Kaiser Karl.
* My Fall 2007 RTW dream outfit! Now to make friends with Karl Lagerfeld...
I'm Over it: The Fall 2007 RTW collection from Chloe. This label is known by, built upon and loved for the Phoebe Philo philosophy: pretty, vintage and girly free spirit. After Philo's departure (which brought more than one tear to my eyes), Melim Andersson is now the chosen one, after a long hard search for Chloe's design successor. Some pieces showed traces of the brand's old aesthetic, but more often than not the clothes reflected the Scandanavian design vision: clear-cut square shapes, a little off somewhere. We'll have to wait and see what the future holds for Andersson -- maybe this is just Chloe, now all grown up.
Artist of the Day: Brazilian electronica artist Gui Boratto. If you love Junior Boys or Booka Shade, you will absolutely fall head over heels for this artist and his album "Chromophobia". After working in advertising and architecture, Boratto finally went down the path of music production by working on tracks for other musicians, before concentrating on his own in 2005. The trippy tracks are released by German techno giant Kompakt and are doing a live European tour this year. So if you happen to be on that side of the world come summer, make sure to make a Boratto pit stop.
