Tune Tuesday - Butterclock

We’re keeping an eye on Berliner-by-way-of-Paris, Butterclock. Her beauty aside, she’s one to watch and has been featured on tracks from oOoOO. Stay tuned for the launch of her album, First Prom.

Don’t - Butterclock

Art Fridays: Noisy Jelly

This week, we’re completely hypnotized by this quirky + colourful video about sound! Watch closely as these geometric shapes are made into “instruments” by two design students from the ‘French National Institute for Design’ in Paris: Marianne Cauvard + Raphaël Pluvinage.

We’re Totally Cray for This Katy Perry Cover!

Girl has talent! Not only did Perry manage to pull this rap anthem off with turquoise hair, she also had the skills to not swear. An excellent accomplishment for a song that even has a censored title.

We Heart Paris!

We love traveling in order to bring you back treasures + curiosities from around the world. This week we’re in Paris at MAISON & OBJET, making sure that we shop until we drop. We’re having such a fun time seeing booths filled with everything from neon plates to glass sconces shaped like Victorian children. We hope that you enjoy our photographs and a mini sneak peek of what will be on our shelves come spring. Until then, check out our super winter sale in store + online.

Adele has never looked better in the video for her global smash hit “Someone Like You.” The video was just released today and follows the young starlet around the eerily empty and gloomy streets of Paris. We’re completely lost in her eyes + haunting vocals.

We Heart David Lebovitz!

Chef extraordinaire, David Lebovitz, has just released his new book outlining scrumptious Parisian findings and food for thought. Like him, we always have room for dessert.
