Finnish artist Mari Kasurinen transforms My Little Pony toys into renditions of famous icons. Anyone who has ever owned a ‘my little pony’, (ehm… guilty) will find themselves confronted with an unsettling mix of nostalgia, bewilderment and feeling very old. They are wonderful however.

It’s a prefabricated garden shed combined with a greenhouse that easily doubles as a guesthouse. It can be assembled by simply using a screwdriver. The Garden Shed, made from Finnish pine and safety glass, was launched in 2010 and was awarded with the Garden Product of the Year prize.

On a recent trip to Edinburgh we stumbled across a fantastic shop called Anthropologie. This American chain of stores recently opened their doors in Europe with two shops in London and one in Edinburgh. They sell women’s clothes that, with my modest knowledge, are a bit too gypsy-ish and ‘oh look at me getting it and reading books and being clever‘, but their home deco stuff was simply put a-ma-zing! I walked around wanting to buy pretty much everything. It’s hard to define or to label what style, but bohemian, retro, kitsch, quirky, edgy, French and classy all spring to mind.
They have a well stocked online shop and the good news is they deliver pretty much all over Europe from their EU site! So that little vase that I couldn’t bring due to Easyjet’s one bag only policy can be making its way to me anytime soon!
Curvy Chrysanthemum Vase, €28.00
Fleeting Apparition Jug, €378.00
Stellata Rug in three sizes between 2,5 and 8 feet round From €82.00 - €416.00

Tomorrow, October 27th, sees the release of the Argentinian movie Medianeras in Dutch theatres. It is already screening in other parts of the world and was met with critical acclaim. The movie is a romantic comedy set in Buenos Aires. It deals with the various lives lived in this gigantic city and in between the lines sings glory to its fabulous architecture and urban design. Gustavo Taretto directed it.
