1111 Lincoln Road, Miami FL, 33139

11 11 Lincoln Road - intentionally spaced to ensure you pronounce it 'eleven eleven' - has risen in Miami and promises to offer a unique shopping, dining, residential and parking experience. Pritzker Prize winning architects Herzog and de Meuron - of Beijing Bird's Nest renown - took their inspiration from one of the more forgettable American icons - the parking garage - and rethought / reworked / re'wow'ed it into something imposing yet airy, and human yet otherworldly. With retail at grade, an event venue on the top platform (pictured below) and 2300-square-foot residences placed throughout the uh, garage, this new Miami treasure promises to make you think differently about where to leave your car.

This site is beautiful.


Golden Delicious

Advances in food technology might lead to curing world hunger one day, but for now it brings us Esslack Gold and Silver edible spray paint. Developed by the same folks (or Volken - it's a German company) that brought us Espresso Vodka and Chocolate Glue, Esslack Food Finishes can be applied to everything from salad to spare ribs to sponge cake, and promise to make this year's holiday season - really, any season - especially blingy.

Here's the link. The English version of the page can be found in the top right of the page, but perhaps you don't need it, Fraulein.

A colourful Fall in view

With Spring still freshly, barely here, you may or may not wish to look toward this coming Fall's colours for ladies' fashion, as selected and recently released by Pantone, and outlined in their bi-annual interactive colour report. Rebounding off Spring's sheen and sorbet, this Fall's colours were chosen to enhance the practical woman's wardrobe with some vibrancy and warmth, and probably with some colours you don't already own.

Here's the vibrant link.

What type are you?

Finally, what type are you? Brandmasters Pentagram created this little on-line quiz a few months ago - beautiful in its own right - to help you determine what font fits your personality best. The results can be fun, and telling, but the real takeaway is the test itself and how it was produced. I think we've heard that before: the benefit is the journey itself and not the outcome, but I digress. Take the test here. Then drop us a line and tell us what type you are.
