Patrick Norguet x McDonalds

Damn. Who knew Mickey D’s were ballin’ like this? They got designer Patrick Norguet to give their French restaurants a new look/re-design. Norguet’s goal is to make these locations more family-friendly rather than a hangout spot for loitering teens. (Shout outs to the ones who actually buy food during their lunch break, though) The look is very [...]

Oh, hai, luxury. Whatcha sayin’? I know a little bit about wine from France. I know they are strict about appellation d’origine contrôlée, the masions are usually situated on sprawling, verdant estates with imposing wrought iron fences and original stone masonry, and that it’s perfectly acceptable to set a flute of fine champagne in front of an [...]

Lissy Elle – Teacups & Tutus

Lissy Elle – Teacups & Tutus

We posted a series of photographs by Lissy Elle a few months ago. Those were stunning, confusing and utterly captivating images, in and of themselves.
