the art of windows shopping

One thing I can't get enough of in Paris is walking on it's streets, getting lost and spending the afternoon glancing at these lovely parisian window displays. The french take their window dressings very seriously and it's considered a year-round art for stores to showcase their finest. They provide a countless source of inspiration and eye candy for shoppers and window shoppers alike.

If any of you kept with the last Olympic games, I'm sure you would have seen the cute mascots designed by character creators Meomi, a talented couple who churn out adorable designs one after another. Not only have they done commercial work for the likes of EA, Google and Yo Gabba Gabba, they also write and illustrate a series of children's books named The Octonauts. Here's some of their inspiring work:

editorial: jalouse's popdoll

I am a lover of magazines. I love flipping through glossies, looking at pages and pages of inspiration, editorials and well-written articles. One of my favorite magazines that I discovered in France is Jalouse. Targeting the youth (or the young at heart) it indulges in the indie pop scene with up and coming performers and feautres on happening events without forgetting to focus on everything girly. It also has some of the prettiest editorials, like this one here in their June 2010 issue, aptly titled pop doll. PS: Make a wish, it's 10.10.10 ♥.
