...Beata Faron!!

Seeing as we are in the midst of winter, I think most of us will appreciate the next selection from Beata Faron. She is incredibly innovative!

The brilliant idea behind "Brr" is to drink your hot cup of coffee and have the heat from the cup warm your hands on all sides.

 

I want name cards like this!!

And this calendar made from pages out of books is just so great.

...Jesse Barnes!!

I met Jesse while on my year abroad studying at Sophia University in Tokyo. She is now studying film and in the process of getting her Master's degree from New York University's Tisch School of Arts. She has been working on a few different projects that I wanted to share with you! 
She has asked ME to be in her next movie too!! I am absolutely head over heals honored and excited!! She starts filming in Singapore this March. So Singapore, here I come!! (can't wait to see and work with you Ms. Barnes)!

Here are some pictures of the amazing girl in action:

...Saya Itami!!

I met Saya through a really good friend of mine this past summer. She is an amazing nail artist and I'm always ooing and ahing over her things. In Tokyo these nail creations have become an art form of their own (and rightfully so). I think New York should catch onto this!

Saya has allowed me to spotlight her here and so I've picked out only a few of her many designs to share with you all! If you're ever in the mood for a wild nail makeover, go to her!!

The master herself, Saya Itami!

Saturday was full of fun. Along with a great dinner at the Grand Hyatt's Oak Room in Roppongi, I was lucky enough to be in the company of some fun and amazing people.
