Animal Planet

At first glance, you're looking at a top that features a bunch of lines and squiggly weird tree-like shading. But upon closer inspection, you'll realize it's an elephant. Oh the cheek. But this makes a white tee exponentially cooler, and the fact that the maker of this garment, Mika Organic, is all about "save the animals" and "heal the world" and whatnot, is I suppose even cooler. (Isn't saving the planet considered cool now? If Leonardo diCaprio does it, it must be, right?).
But then again, even if you're hating on green initiatives, if you appreciate tasteful and intelligent innovation with fabric and clothing design, there's something to enjoy after the cut: things like the artful use of fringe to frame a horse head, or the echo of deer antlers in a perfect shaped V-neck, or a snake that slithers fully from one wrist to the opposite, wrapping his python-print body across your back.

Cupid’s Calling
The lovely @FindelaTierra showed me this amusing website which is hailed as a “beautiful new dating site created for fans of Apple products by fans of Apple products!” You’d think Applemania has settled for now but obviously it’s still going strong. Best part? The site’s name. Cupidtino. A nice play on Cupertino, Apple’s headquarters. To register for the beta, you need to select which Apple products you own, from a list that includes iPod, MacBook, iPhone and iPad. The site will launch this coming June and of course it will only be available exclusively on Apple platforms, Safari, iPhone and iPad apps. For more information, check out http://cupidtino.com/.

Being a former editor of a luxury magazine as well as having an affinity for fashion, I’ve spent many an hour admiring photoshoots and fashion spreads. Yet for some reason, I’ve never been inclined to purchase coffee table books on photography. I do admit to owning a few but I’ve not flipped through them much and the books are likely to be gathering dust somewhere in my apartment. When I came across Fulvio Bonavia’s Matter of Taste, however, I am madly compelled to purchase this book. There’s something so simplistic yet beautiful about these photos that combine fashion with food. Behold some of my favourites.

Goods of Desire

Sometimes I think I have too much pink in my closet. And then I go out and buy myself another pink dress and go home and realize, yeah, I do have too much pink in my closet. My other go-to colour is, duh, black. I have too much of that in my closet too, but actually what I'm not telling you is that I have too much of EVERY colour of every thing. I really don't need anything else and I could probably go three months without washing any clothes.
That doesn't stop me from wanting to add everything pink from the ASOS Black collection to my already bulging wardrobe. But I mean, can you blame me? Besides the Burberry-inspired trench, there's also a whole host of frothy, floaty, feminine frocks that take cues from Valentino, Givenchy and Marchesa, among others. Derivative-ness aside, it's a big challenger to H&M's Garden collection. Take that, red roses, haiyaah!
More springy goodness after the cut, plus a perfect daytime clutch and a necklace that is awesomeness, but might also give you a neck sprain.
