Window Socket - Kyuho Song & Boa Oh
So this is an absolutley brilliant idea! Just attach the plug on to a window and it will harness solar energy. A small converter will convert it into electricity which can be freely used as a plug when you are in the car, on a plane or outside.
Love this design and I really think it has a great potential.This is fantastic.
Vans designed a set of custom Vans slip ons for the celebrity stylist Robert Verdi from the prints of his vintage Hermès scarves. This is not an Hèrmes/Vans collaboration, nor are these shoes for sale.
See more of the prints here.
During the Summer of Fashion 2012 in Vienna (Austria) PPAG architects set a red Catwalk in the middle of MuseumsQuartier, which functioned as a long winding bench and was a device to turn even simple passers-by into models.

#I am just living to be dying by your side

All I’m trying to say is that this is exactly what my circa 6th grade aol im sn was trying to get at. This makes me cool, right? Like, wise beyond my years, or something.
We’re fans of reusable items, especially things that can be used instead of plastic wrap and other disposable, single-use plastic products.
Beeswax-infused fabric is such a reusable item for food storage. Waxy cloth can be used to cover vegetables, fruit, cheese, bread, and other items, including those in bowls. The warmth of your hands helps to mold the material around the food you wish to wrap or over the top of a bowl or other container. The waxy cloth can be rinsed off using water and mild soap, if necessary, hung to air-dry, and it’s ready for use again.
The Art of Doing Stuff blog features this simple tutorial for making your own sheets of beeswax wrap; all you need are pieces of cotton fabric, beeswax, an oven, and a tray.
For pre-made options: This recent Design*Sponge post mentions Bee’s Wrap, made by a small company in Vermont.
A similar food-storage product, Abeego, has been made in Canada for the past several years. The folks who make Abeego wrap even put their scrap pieces to use, turning them into useful items such as business cards and twist-ties.
For helpful wax-wrap care and use tips, check out Abeego’s Web site here.
