Coldplay Plays Beastie Boys. Awesome

Seen this? The impossibly cool Chris Martin et al play Beastie Boys in a tribute to Adam Yauch.

And I'm in awe.

How Great Is This? LEGO In Real Life

Did anyone get to see the LEGO in real life in Martin Place last week? How great does it look? I'd love it if it stayed there all the time. It's such a fun pop of colour in the bleak city-scape. And how great walking past that every day to work. 


Come on Clover. Do it!

Mother's Day:: Mavi Meow Meow

Oh by crikey I love these leopard print jeans by Mavi! I'm breathless over them. Matt? Are you reading this? Mother's Day is fast upon us, and these jeans have my name ALL OVER THEM. Yes. I changed my name to Mavi. I'm cute like that. MaviMouthMama.


Have you ever seen a more perfect jean genie? I love me some jeans, and baby, I want them, I like them, I gotsta have these super skinnies.


What's on your Mother's Day list mamas?  

How Do You Cheer Yourself Up?

How to brighten up a mamas day when she has to hit the office on an otherwise ordinary work day?

Amp up the lipstick, pop on some sequins and a super cool mani to rock the keyboard.

What do you do to cheer yourself up?

Eating. Making. Creating.

How great is this animation? I think it's so beauitful and inspiring.

And I really love guacamole and want some. Right now!

The Coolest Collab Ever

Tiny and I are watching this on repeat today. It's just that fabulous. We love, love, love this version of Gotye's 'Somebody that I used to know'. So delicious.

Plip Plop POP!

There I was, whining (in my head) about how hot it was all of a sudden. No easing in of a new season. No. Just BOOM! Summer arrived. And way too fast. But I was coping. I was down with it.

And now this? Sydney. Make up your flipping mind. I've packed away my Winter woollies on a really hot day, I've embraced Summer. But nope, we're back into grey, wet and cold.

At least there are these Gina and May umbrellas. You can't beat a pop of colour when it's grey and miserable.

AMAZEBALLS!

I watched this clip with Matt and couldn't take my eyes away. Seriously spell-binding and amazeballs and totes ridonkulous manouevres. Check it out b-girls!

How insane is that?

In other news, I'm sick again. That's not rad is it? I am so super flipping sick of being sick. So I've been lying low all weekend, and I mean that, I've been getting horizontal on the couch for most of it. Poor smalls must be so bored of me.

What's news for you?

Holy House Envy!

Have you seen this book? Aye carumba. I have house envy to the max.

I thought The Selby was top of the pops. Well he is, let's face it. But Design Sponge has me salivating. I may even throw some of my stuff out. Some may call it junk. I call it stuff. It's feasible that it could be stuff. It's stuff from other people's bins.

But whatever you want to call it, get your filthy doggone mitts on this book. You will not regret it. Mark my words homegirls!

PS - Check out this Neon Wedding. Be still my boom-ba-da boom-ba-da heart. I might have to get married all over again. (To you Matt, of course.)

Skater's Dream House

Did you ever draw dream houses when you were a kid? I did. I spent hours drawing floor plans, a really big bedroom, an indoor swimming pool - and by indoor, I mean it was in the heart of the home, large wardrobe, big kitchen, probably a spa, all the bells and whistles. I loved drawing those little floor plans in multi-coloured textas. A wannabe architect.

Well imagine my glee this morning when I stumbled upon this ace house - the PAS House. Everything in the house is skate-able. The walls. The furniture. The whole kit and kaboodle. But you can only skate in there if you're a pro-skater. The PAS House is only a full-scale model of one room of the house, but I'm already saving my pennies.

When the Doctor's bigger, I think we'll invest in this home (ahem). I can imagine teenage boys digging on this idea. Heck, I dig on this idea. Uber cool!

I want Janelle Monae's hair. And her style. I want to get her dance on. She's pretty cool and cute. Stylish and sassy. Me likey!

Pimping Your Ride Missoni Stylie

I could probably almost just have a new baby so I could pimp it out in the new Bugaboo and Missoni collab. I mean this thing is so hot I'd like to ride in it. Could there be a sweeter ride? I seriously doubt it peeps. And as if they needed to further seal the deal, this beautiful Bugaboo comes with a matching Missoni blanket. Got to start 'em young peeps.

Functional. Fashionable. Fo' realz. This is no optical illusion, I'm not playing tricks - this is a match made in fashion heaven.

And available in Australia from July 2011 in selected stores.

I never had a Bugaboo. Boo hoo. Are you a Bugaboo mum?
