This with that?

I am approaching my day with an attitude less-than-chirpy thanks to a very *quick and complete move to my new apartment over the weekend (frills of an IKEA visit and blisters to prove I pieced my furniture together included).  More to come about the move over the next few days. Spotting some witty advertising, thankfully, has done wonders for my Monday bluesomes. This downright brilliant ad for Harvey Nichols Accessories Required campaign by Y&R Dubai won the gong at Cannes Lions 2011.

Westwood does Wedding

via

Whether you've popped the question or not, there's no harm in takin' a look at the iconic designer's latest bridal collection! Bringing a rock n' roll edge to these 20 styles, Westwood's made to measure gowns still bear her classic hallmarks of corsetry, crinoline, immaculate tailoring and draping.

A Stupid Dream

In 2011, Diesel had the stupid idea of making a country like no other. A brave new world for the braves and terminally stupid. For those feeling out of place in today's world, Diesel brings us an entirely new and stupid society: a tropical utopia. A place where true stupidity can thrive and flourish. I caught glimpse of this brilliant campaign as it crossed my path the other morning on one of Melbourne's city-bound trams. Smirks led to giggles led to blog post! Brilliant. Watch out world...

Gumby and gang invade google! It's been a while (20ish years?) since I'd wait to see little Gumby and his friends for my kiddie-arvo-tv-time. Stumbling across Google's latest search engine art boosted my hump day into kid like giddiness once more. Having touched millions worldwide, Google's Doodle for Art Clokey honours this stop motion pioneer, Mr. Arthur "Art" Clokey, just perfectly.

“The Google Doodle is the perfect tribute to my fathers work,” says Joe Clokey, Art Clokey’s son and creator of Gumby’s new website. “Art’s life and film career were ahead of their time. My dad would have been thrilled to be connected with Google in this way.”

My girlfriend got engaged!! I'm yet to see the bling she sports so till then I'm keeping myself busy checking out some other beautiful rocks like these black diamond alternatives. You might remember this lot and these that I posted about some time back. While I'm on the topic of all things wedding, these beautiful wedding posts have kept me happy as I'm wrapped in my covers, a little under the weather and taking a day off with tea and laptop by my side...

When inspired by all things organic, local and bohemian, something as beautiful as THIS happens.

OK...so I said my bestie got engaged? Well, this in no way is a hint but I just think it's perfect that I found my way over to THIS post. Bride-to-be won the gong for "friend of the year" when she went all out for her besties with this pretty, girlie luncheon.
