insomnia is my least favourite..

bleh, so i know i'm far from the first to post about these, but i seriously still think this might be the only thing that could possibly help me sleep.. i don't know what it is, but my insomnia has been worse than usual and it's exactly the wrong time for that.. I just recently got a new pillow top mattress cover type thing and let me tell you.. feeling like you are sleeping on a cloud helps A LOT, but i still find myself watching the clock go by minute by minute, and if i do fall asleep, its only an hour or two before i'm wide awake again with some kind of weird/scary nightmare... so i'm on the hunt to find myself a set of Storybook Sheets... its my last resort kids, im desprate here... and still wide awake.... it's almost 4 am.

while we are talking about packaging...

Julien de Repentigny in collaboration with Gabriel Lefebvre, take packaging of milk to a different level..

It represents the content of the product in the simplest way, both through word and image.

swept off their feet.. literally

They DO DID:

Science is constantly evolving, it is now possible to marry in space. Fans of astronomy, Fulmore Noah Finnegan and Erin were the first couple to live this experience. They embarked on June 30th on board a Boeing 727 Zero Gravity Corporation, originally reserved for the astronauts to simulate gravity 0.
But this small folly at a price more than $ 5000 per person for a flight of 90 minutes.

Knit the city continues its journey!

Urban knitting continues to create new fans ... a phone booth, a barrier, poles or monuments, tribes of flower budding knitters around the world. Knit the city, one of the best known, added to their collection by placing style over a fence in the city center of London ... I love this! A LOT.

office in a box.

Both the alternative consumer and employees at Earthfirst think this solar powered office-in-a-box from Louis Vuitton is a monstrosity, the "antithesis of sustainability." I think it is rather neat, and expect to find affordable knock-offs on Canal Street next week. It was made for an unknown customer from China and contains everything you’d need to keep you entertained and energised while away on business or stranded on a desert island.

Inside you’ll find a TV, DVD player and coffee maker, the latter powered by a can of petrol. Electronic gadgets are powered by solar panels.

Looking beyond the Louis Vuitton name, transformer furniture and transportable, foldable designs like this make a lot of sense, and had it come from MUJI they would be eating it up.

And compared to what Louis Vuitton made for Karl Lagerfield....

He turned to Louis Vuitton for a custom-made suitcase able to hold up to forty iPods – lord knows why he needs that many.

It’s worth noting that, when a simple Louis Vuitton passport holder costs £155 ($234/€176), the custom-made Lagerfeld trunk would undoubtedly set you back a pretty penny. Yet it comes with what looks suspiciously like a JBL speaker set - which retails for around £50 ($75/€56). Nice mark-up if you can get it....... A custom case to hold forty iPods. Now that is unTreeHugger
