HOMEMADE IS BEST BY IKEA

Summary of the new IKEA baking book "Hembakat är Bäst" in bulletpoint form:

• Photographer: Carl Kleiner / Agent Bauer
• Stylist: Evelina Bratell
• 140 page coffee-table baking book
• Inspired by high fashion & japanese minimalism
•  to tone down the actual cake and put the ingredients in focus
• The recipes are presented as graphic still-life portraits on a warm and colourful stage.
• 30 classic swedish baking recipes everything from small biscuits to large cakes. Enjoy.

 I think this first one is a PRINCESS CAKE! like the ones sold @ the IKEA cafeteria!

I wonder if it is in english AND swedish... UGH I hope so. I love the deconstruction and reconstruction. You can appreciate the ingredients and then see how they come together as a dessert. It's simplicity in its design makes baking look so easy... I actually want to put in the time and start baking! 

DYSON

As I lay in bed in my room upstairs at about a little over 80 degrees.. trying to keep cool while watching netflix online, my Honeywell REMOTE CONTROLLED fan drowns out any sound coming from my computer, specifically Daniel Tosh's voice (hahaha ;) ), forcing me to chose. Either be hot and entertained till i fall asleep OR be somewhat cool and lay in silence till i fall asleep. Yeah the normal person would say just go to bed with the fan on and no computer.. ahem, ALEX hahaha (HOI BTW!!)

anyways, this dilemma made me think about something that I've had my eye on for a little bit. THE KINDA NEW DYSON AIR MULTIPLIER!!! I think Dyson is such an innovative company with cool yet uselful takes on houshold products aka the bagless, dual cyclone, Dyson Ball yellow vacuum! i want that too. but anyways, back to the air multiplier.

just watching this video though almost put me right to sleep.... but don't let boring ol' physics turn you off!



this one on the other hand.. very entertaining

Dyson Balloon Course @ Yahoo! Video

i want to test drive one! maybe on my next target trip

RING DING DONG RING DING DING DONG

this house of harlow 1960 key ring is so cute. when on, it looks like those double finger rings, which has been the trend in stores lately.. $48! i orginally saw it on thecherryblosssomgirl and it IS adorable.

PINK & BLACK BIG BUTT BEACH TOWELS

BUTT magazine + AA = xxx-clusive beach-towel series, ($45), featuring pinups from the magazine. "The limited-edition, 31-by-64-inch towels come in the mag's signature pink-and-black palette, and each one features a tasty BUTT model, including artist Brian Kenny and porn star Arpad Miklos... a portion of the sales benefits the Ali Forney Center. " - the cut (click to view the slideshow!)

i think it's a tie between Arpad & Ernie for my potential purchase..
