Jessica Alba at an Iranian wedding

These pics shows Jessica Alba attending the private wedding of her friends, of which the groom is an Iranian. Jessica who looks like to be one of the bridesmaids as well, even participates in the traditional Iranian sugar-grinding “ghand-saabi” on top of the couple!

Biking does you well

Evidently! ;)

The hat years

Where did all the hats go?

Tree of knowledge

Very creative, less practical.

Stop the press!! Who’s that?!

Never mind the sharp-dressed shark, who’s the backless bella in the background?!!!!!!

Cute and clever cups

I can imagine that these make it a bit more fun to do the dishes!lol

Nutcase

Clear, clean and cool form and function, “Big Smiley” from Danish Eva Solo.

Mixtape time

Ladies check your time, 80’s style! I love the color combinations of this one, but it also comes as black and gold editions from EOS. As a mixtape lover I’m fascinated by the mixtape mania that is currently going on!

The crown prince

“Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” has just been premiered in Europe and I reserve my thoughts about the sequel to one of history’s most influential films ’til I’ve seen it. It remains to be seen whether this turns out to be a catastrophically failing capitalisation on the legacy of a classic or it is a long-overdue and worthy successor to the throne of a dynasty! Either way, I love the concept of the movie and the trailer bodes well with Shia LaBeouf hampering his annoying brat character in a role that for once fits him like the tailored suits he wears in the movie.

On a side note, the Wall Street movies are along with the Oceans trilogy among the top men’s fashion product placement productions of Hollywood. In my book Shia looks the part of a modern yuppie puppy, even a “shaazdeh” and the poster (which I compare above with a royal Qajar portrait, just to prove my point) is the ultimate epitome of the saga and symbolism of a royal succession!

A new peacoat for the cold

You can never get enough of some timeless classics, such as good old peacoats. Each year with a tiny trendy detail added to the traditional design. An unnecessary necessity! I’m eyeing a couple right now, one is this moleskin beauty with that distinct line of yellow.

I finally found out what it is about her …

that I like (let’s for the sake of this post pretend that I didn’t know, shall we)!lol After having seen Katy’s recent (apparently) authentic topless pic, which hands down is one of the best self-shots I personally have ever seen from a celeb, confirming that the puppies are as firm as they seem when playing with our ticklish Elmo in this gif!looool Though with hints of surgical scars!!! We have seen more and more of such so called leaked or hacked self-shots from high-profile artists lately, those who seek that extra attention but can’t go all the way and leak out full-length sex-tapes, like the socialites such as Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian who basically have no actual talent and nothing to lose! Other artists whose nude pics have “leaked” lately are Paramore’s otherwise-considered-conservative Hayley Williams (posted on her Twitter and removed just a quickly) and Kesha’s post-act pics.

Yellow mellow

Loving the design and colour of Ligne Roset Anneau Chair by Pierre Paulin.

Mad about the Apple

This is a rather amusing staged backstage shot of the cast of Mad Men discovering Apple MacBook Pro, already back in the 60’s! Talk about travelling back in time for product placement!lol

Heavy Feet

I’ve gained weight! Or bought weight, to be correct. For my ankles, 2.5 kg each. Lately I’ve felt that I’ve gotten stronger around the core and my legs need a bit of a challenge in order for the exercises to keep paying off. Resistance training per definition means that you need to have the body resisting a pressure, and when you’re body is stronger than the actual pressure it makes it purely physically effortless and rewardless. It’s like chewing water! You need to get your bite on! And the ankle-weights are a good option when it comes to running up the stairs, kicking or simple abdominal exercises at home. A function similar to the weight-vest I’ve mentioned before.

Ana, mi nena!

Ever since watching Nacho Libre fours years ago, I’ve had a crush on Mexicana Ana de la Reguera … can you blame me?!

Earxtravaganza

These brownies are perhaps the sexiest headphones I’ve ever laid my eyes on! And without having laid my ears on them I can rely on the fact that Ultrasone has in the past delivered when it comes to audio and noise isolation. The Ultrasone Edition 10, their first open back special edition, is limited to 2010 units. But does the premium Ethiopian sheepskin on the ear cups, Zebrano wood inlays and titanium-plated drivers justify a price tag at $2,749?!!

He kept repeating: “Save the watermelon …

…, and you’ll save the world!” loool

Better shape up Z!

Brand new cardigan from Zara is in the house. But I have to say that lately I’ve been really disappointed with Zara’s production quality, especially for its terrible seam-work! Resulting a bag and a jacket of mine falling apart after only a day! Nevertheless the designs are still among the best in the retail price range. I don’t know if the move of production to Turkey (like many other companies, due to the current economy) is the cause of the dropping quality, but I sure hope not to see such disaster again! … I better not!!

The conclusion of “Inception” revealed

Actor Michael Caine happened to reveal the absolute conclusion of “Inception“, a scene which Nolan very wisely had decided to edit out in favour of an open ending! I only hope that this ending is permanently deleted since it clashes with my personal perception of the world of inception.

Spoiler warning, read at own risk!

Note: Thanks to Theo

Could this be the black swan?

Time for a new high budget television series with a puzzling theme, an extensive cast and a non-linear narrative. NBC’s “The Event” promises great events but bodes an awful turnout as it reminds of shortcoming predecessors such as “The 4400″, “Heroes” and “Flashforwards” in style and storytelling! Unfortunately there has yet not been a single black swan, the single case to falsify my theory about the ill fate of such productions.

They often start explosively on elaborate and established premisses, however lose direction and ambition as they go along without a clear destination. Either ending prematurely or anticlimactic, not even LOST managed to keep its head out of its rear-end by the very end! Nevertheless, I’m a pathological sucker for the complex concepts and easily fall for the allure of an attractive facade. Realistically seen there is very little hope that this show manages to prove me wrong, but I can’t help but to keep my fingers crossed that this will be that black swan!

Lagerlight

Limited edition Karl Lagerfeld diet (”light” in Europe) coke anyone?

Metallic mosaïque

Karim Rashid’s collection of metal tiles for the Australian ALLOY, merging oriental design with western flair.

Ever wondered why Momsen never smiles?

… now you wonder no more!loooool

Gangster for life!

… or, maybe not!lol

Quilty as charged

I’m still against quilted jackets. Make no mistake!lol But if, … IF I was forced to wear one piece of quilted clothing then this leather jacket would be it!

The Burberry fairy

Only 16 years old, the cute and sweet singing Misty Miller (and her equally tiny and cute instrument) got in the spotlight through her appearance in a Burberry campaign clip earlier this year. She has now released her first EP on iTunes. Take a listen to “Remember“, the part about her height … awww, how can you not adore her!

Shredded masculinity

Wouldnt I look just adorable in this sweater from Nicomede?loool *voosh*

The saddest part about summer ending …

… is the street vendors leaving!
