Books and other sexy stuff #2 - All my Friends are Dead

It's like two years I have this world-famous book in my library, and I keep finding it around, in a lot of shops and online stores. (you can find it at Modcloth, Urban Outfitters, Amazon...)
This illustrated dark comedy makes me laught every time, because of its simplicity and its tragicomic  characters. I totally want to buy the second part, All my friends are still dead.

All my friends are dead and All my friends are still dead are published by Chronicle Books. Click here to read them!

Books and other sexy stuff #1 - Sixty Impossible Things Before Lunch

This book was a gift my boyfriend gave me on a pretty sad day. My taste in books is varied but I certainly tend to prefer books that I can find in museums' gift shops, artistic bookshops, second-hand stores. I really like to read fiction as well, but I'm always more attracted by design. This little masterpiece is called "Sixty Impossible Things Before Lunch" (in the pictures you can see the italian version of the book!). 

Totally illustrated and handwritten by Harriet Russel, the book is full of impossible questions, impossible pictures and ideas, such as "Which came first, the chicken or the egg", "How long is a piece of string?" and "What does the universe look like?". I've found it absolutely hilarious and smart.

"Sixty Impossible Things Before Lunch" is published by Edizioni Corraini, 2011.

Lovely wood carvings from Bryn Perrott, West Virginia. This lady is a badass.

 

I'm in love with her work, I want one of these masterpieces in my future home.

She also owns a pretty cool Flickr profile.
Take a look in her gallery, I can't choose my favorite; the only thing I wish for, are more color options.

Art for your legs

I'm a sucker for Bauhaus' design and mid-century artistic movements, and I'm in love with these beautiful tights. They were commissioned for the "Bauhaus: Art As Life" exhibition, and designed by Patternity, an english creative studio, and they're obviously inspired by the geometric elements and colour principles of the Bauhaus.

You better hurry if you want to buy this exclusive and unique collection: it's available only from May 3rd to August 3rd (yes i'm a little late)!
