This ingenious calendar is beyond cool. I love it!

Spanish designer, Oscar Diaz explains how his calendar works: “The ink is absorbed slowly, and the numbers in the calendar are ‘printed’ daily.

“One a day, they are filled with ink until the end of the month. A calendar self-updated, which enhances the perception of time passing and not only signaling it.”

It’s just pure artistic genius. Oscar Diaz I salute you and I’m in love with your calendar.

It’s time for another obsession confession which I don’t think I’ve done since I admitted to being a stationery junkie but this time around it’s about clothes… and dreams… and a bit about cereal…

Whilst I wouldn’t call myself a shopaholic, occasionally I have these dreams. I know most people dream of strange things but I’d be truly delighted to meet someone who has experienced the great disappointment of waking up in the morning to find all the cereal is finished before realising it was a very vivid dream that made me think I had any in the first place… yes people, I dream of cereal.

Anyway, back to the shoes. Basically, I had an amazing dream of me wearing zebra shoes and a matching clutch and so began the impossible hunt for the product that matched what I envisioned.

Usually when I dream of clothing/footwear (yes it has happened before) I am left to be frustrated that the goods are impossible to find and that I have no skills to make them myself. This time around however I have spotted them… the shoes… in zebra print… with matching clutch!

So Giuseppe Zanotti I salute you! For finally making one of my not entirely fruitful but still deliciously fun dreams a reality. Love. These. Shoes.

Harlem Loves… You! Thanks for reading, commenting and sharing this with your friends.
