The United Nude 'Lo Res' shoe.
This beautiful shoe is part of an new semi-automatic design method by United Nude where an object is digitially scanned into a 3-D computer model and re-generated into various resolutions. The Lo Res shoe is part of an automated design revolution.


Not sure how comfortable they would be but how cool do they look?

Other shoes by Unite Nude are 
Eamz Mary Jane: conceptually inspired by a furniture design classic; the Charles and Ray Eames chair. The United Nude Eamz shoe is an ode to their vision.

Cosmo: plays with gravity and tension and achieves what looks to be an impossible construction by using high-tech materials. Ultra light-weight hand molded carbon fiber that is extremely strong is the secret to this piece of sexy architecture for your foot.

 Helix: conceived from the idea of wrapping an object, in this case the foot. The curves and movement of the elastic material give the shoe its identity and emphasize the shape.

Around December 2009 I saw this beautiful kitchenware on display at the NGV Shop and had forgot all about them till now.

So say hello to 'Nest' by Joseph & Joseph: the ultimate collection of practical, space-saving kitchenware, comprising of mixing bowls, measuring spoons, a sieve, strainer and juicer.

The unique design of the range allows the individual elements of each set to be stacked together, thereby occupying the absolute minimum amount of space.

Nest comprises of eight essential kitchen items 4 x measuring cups, 1 x small mixing bowl, 1 x sieve, 1 x colander/strainer, 1 x large mixing bowl and all pieces are dishwasher safe.

This week I am loving This Little Piggy went to Prada an adorable book of designer nursery rhymes.
The book has tewnty-one revamped, tongue-in-cheek, name-dropping nursery rhymes and is a great gift for yummy mummies.
Who would have thought you could make Nursery Rhymes so fashionable, politically incorrect and frivolous all at the one time?

This Little Piggy went to Prada was born of Amy Poorn's inability to relate to pease pudding and her horror of Disney character sippy cups.
Amy has recently written another This Little Piggy book called This Little Piggy Got Divorced which reflects on her her own experience of divorce.

The illustrations are also beautiful throughout this book and they just enhance the pleasure of reading it. The illustrations are the work of Zebby Eun-kyung Kang a Korean born, UK based artist. Zebby started this project while still studying fashion at the London College of Fashion and illustrated This Little Piggy went to Prada from a tiny room of her halls of residence. Since her Piggy debut, Zebby has worked for clients all over the world, including Vogue, Numero, Boutique1, Jaeger, Matches and Penguin Books.

I can't speak more highly of this cute book and would recommend it to any new mums with a finger on the fashion pulse.
