Pink It and Shrink It - The New Fiat

OK I admit it, I do like pink. Is this just a case of shrink and pink or is it really catering to a market? I suspect it would appeal to most wannabe fashionistas - although maybe not the very chic.
Personally I would feel as little like I was working for Mary K Cosmetics, but it is cute - for a 16 year old at heart. The target market is young (minded), emotive when purchasing and concerned more about surface than substance.
Not sure about the dodgy guy painting the car with nail polish, I think this was a guy's creative idea, but I could be wrong. If I could choose who painted my car with nail polish I would probably get a female nail tech without a smarmy look on his face to do it. : ) or maybe that's just me.
Still it's a pretty nice pink, although for me, if I was to go for a pink car, I would probably want something in a 50's pale pink like Pantone 691.

Guys cannot apply nail polish, and this guy looks a bit dodgy.

Tiles Inspiration

I just found "Cocotte at Emery" & Cie:

 

 

 
"The word evokes memories of childhood and images applied to any surface as if by magic ... obviously long before the days of “stickers... It is the meticulous precision that interests us. Certain motifs are incredibly laborious to reproduce by hand, such as the “Méchants oiseaux”, or virtually impossible such as the lacework in the “Cocotte” ..."

Can You Keep A Secret?

I've been working on a brand that's due for launch... here is a sneak preview of the letterhead, business card, swing tag (or hang tag) postcard, sticker and greeting card.

Hope you like them.

Trend Alert - Pink with Chocolate

OK it's been around for a little while but it's starting to beat pink and black hands down in the girly design stakes. It's softer, more organic looking and so much prettier, and less "overt" than pink and black.

Palest pink and brown - less obvious that with the bright pink.

French Vintage and Parisienne - Kate Moss on Trend

Kate Moss is generally on trend and in the thick of things, so it comes as no surprise that she is adding to her portfolio a new fragrance called Vintage.

Beautifully classical, I hope "Vintage" fragrance lives up to the styling and name.

Also being promoted by Kate Moss, Yves Saint Laurent Parisienne, $155 for 90ml, goes on-counter November 1. Stockists: (02) 9965 9700.

Coco Cocoon - Lily Allen

No self-respecting style or design blog would be complete without a mention of this simply tres chic campaign by Chanel. Lily Allen, in my opinion is perfectly suited to a modern day Holly Golightly, albeit a slightly more street-smart version. Truman Capote would approve.

Lily Allen is the face of Chanel’s “Coco Cocoon” Line: the stylish British singer has been chosen by Chanel to head the campaign with bags from their new line of cushioned bags.

Styles in this new range include a shopping bag, bowling bag, suit bag and a trolley bag, in fabrications of nylon or lambskin and colour options of black, beige, chocolate, burgundy, taupe, grey, gold and red! Priced from $1980

Available now in CHANEL boutiques.
