My own Stutterheim!
Stutterheim Raincoats. Swedish melancholy at its driest, to battle the forces of nature in style. Using the finest craftsmanship, materials and details, the Stutterheim Arholma is described as a state of the art version of the traditional raincoat worn by generations of Swedish fishermen. It is hand sewn and each coat is individually numbered and signed by its seamstress. A companion for life. I am ready for the rain! :-)

In search of... a floor lamp
We need: a floor lamp. Because: we want to be able to read when we sit on our couch. So.. where to find one? I've actually found a couple of pretty ones, but I (ehm.. I mean we ;-) ) haven't decided yet which one suits best (a) our house and (b) our budget. Going for appearance, which one of the lamps below do you like most?

Kunsthal (2)
So yesterday I went to the Kunsthal, Rotterdam, to see the Jean Paul Gaultier and Pastoe exhibitions currently held there. About Pastoe: since I'm a fan of their furniture designs and live opposite the Pastoe factory in Utrecht, there was no way I could miss out on this exhibition. Pastoe was founded in 1913 and as stated on its website, simplicity, timelessness, quality and craftsmanship have been at the centre of the company's philosophy ever since. When I entered the floor where Pastoe was exhibited, a sudden feeling of happiness came over me. Such pretty pieces of furniture and an at least as beautiful way of exhibiting them! Anyhow, although not very big, Like Pastoe, 100 jaar vernieuwing in vormgeving is definitely worth a visit!
Depicted below: some serious lost-in-colour meets geometry. More pictures - also of The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier, From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk exhibition - will follow!

More great reading material on my (side)table!
Did I mention that I'm a fan of The Good Life and MONOCLE? They're great magazines, covering a broad range of things - design, fashion, travel, business, lifestyle, and so on. These are not their latest issues - I'd better check on those soon! :-)

carnaval animal
I - uhm, actually Rosa - got this great carnaval animal paper art book created by Iris de Vericourt from friends for Christmas. So pretty, don't you think? As it says on its back: "un méli-mélo d'animaux, pour en créer de nouveau et mélanger les couleurs" (a mishmash of animals, for creating new ones and mixing colours). Perfect gift!

That bottle
I love it!
It's from Comme des Garçons and it comes in various colours/designs. This one is the unisex AMAZINGREEN eau de parfum. I wonder if the smell is as good as the design!
