London Undercover: Umbrellas with With and Style

I recently had to dispose of my favorite umbrella and even though it has rained several times in NYC since my loss, I have resisted picking up just any umbrella.


My thoughts of food and fashion this week remind me of these tasty umbrellas from the British company, London Undercover.


They combine functionality and cheekiness in just the right proportions for the perfect undercover recipe.

Cheers!

Lisa Farmer: Curious Creature Containers

Ask anyone who knows me, I love bags and am attracted to curious creatures of nature, so how could I not be lured to these bags that are bag and creature rolled into one.

Sure, most animal shaped bags are pure kitsch or are for children, but these fabulous handmade pieces, designed by Lisa Farmer, are portable art that I would love to tote around.

Fulvia Bonavia: A Matter of Taste

Food and fashion, friends or enemies?

While the first thing that comes to mind are diets and eating disorders, the images from the book "A Matter of Taste" by photographer Fulvio Bonavia make me think otherwise.

These delicious images celebrate the tasty marriage of food and fashion.
