Hoof heels

When I saw these I laughed out loud!

12 inch Alexander McQueen “Armadillo” heels!  I saw them in the New York Times Ninth Annual Year in Ideas, where they were called “lobster-claw ankle booties.”

I especially love this flesh-colored version!

Felicia the Hippo

I love this!!  Felicia the Hippo by Jennifer Gibbs.

Available at The Shop at Cooper-Hewitt.

Lego Architecture

The greatest idea Lego ever had: Lego Architecture!!  Genius!

Designers have money + designers love Legos = expensive Lego sets that designers love!

So far the only really cool structures are Fallingwater and the Guggenheim, but there are so many possibilities!  I am thinking a Bucky geodesic dome, Gaudí’s Sagrada Família, and prefab homes with green roofs!

Pantone goods

Pantone mugs and bags are pretty cool…

but, how awesome would Pantone nail polish and eye shadow be?!?  I don’t even wear nail polish or eye shadow, but if these were in stores I might!  Concept by Brazilian design student Renata Veiga!

+ watch

Cool new Fossil watch by Philippe Starck!

The circles look like nice little watch batteries behind glass!  And I love Philippe’s + graphic identity.  Recently I really like the gray + color trend, but I wish this came in gray + orange!

Zoku Quick Pop Maker

Check out this beautiful and creative product that my friend Mariola helped design!  She spent the last year creating it at industrial design firm Propeller.  Now available at Williams-Sonoma (watch the video to see how it works)!

Pigeon:Impossible

I don’t usually watch videos online because I get too bored, especially six-minute ones, but when I saw the title I couldn’t resist.  Now I’ll steal six minutes of your life because I think the bird is cute in this :).

The next post will not be related to pigeons!

pigeon patch

HAHAHA! They don’t have wildlife in Detroit so they have pigeon clubs and give pigeon patches!

I also found this awesome iron-on pigeon patch for sale here on eBay.

one more month!

The countdown is on!  I AM SO EXCITED! One month until my two-year phone contract is up and I can get an iPhone!!!!

I need to prepare for the homecoming of my iPhone, so I have been searching for the perfect case.  Below are some potentials.

I love the color choices of this case from redmaloo.com!

This is also cool- I designed my own pigeonbrain iPhone case on gelaskins.com!

I could also go for simplicity and get this orange frame case from incase.

And, I definitely think I will be needing one of these cleaning paws from Strapya Next!
