unconsumption: How stunning is this wall of doors by Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek for an Amsterdam residential project?

unconsumption: Those of you who’ve been reading Unconsumption for a while might recall our 2010 post about Milan’s Maison Moschino — the boutique hotel the Italian fashion house Moschino opened in 2010 in a retrofitted 1840 railway station — where some guest rooms are furnished with ball gowns as headboards.  Turns out, the hotel offers additional Unconsumption-y design inspiration in the form of lamps made from dresses. (photo via DiarioDesign) Related: For a review of the hotel, described “as a place for playful photo shoots,” among other things, check out this January 2011 writeup from The New York Times.  So pretty

showmemakeup: Model - Fiona McDonald Photographer - Martin Higgs Make-Up - Me Martin holds photography classes and Fiona was a model on one of the days, so we took a basis quick head shot so I could share the make-up with you all. Its a classic make-up look thats so simple to achieve. For the liner, I used MAC Black Track Fluidline with a liner brush. I judged by eye to try match up the line on both eyes. For the lips, I used Hourglass cosmetics lipstick in ICON. I’ll add some of the images from the shoot after this post.
