The latest Heineken ad is the funniest I've seen in a while. Isn't this every man's dream? It even makes me buy Heineken from now on. I don't know if their target was only men but for sure they make both genders "happy".

dekap
Girls, have you ever imagined a market where instead of fruits&vegetables you have shoes and clothes? Some of us did so Dekap in Barcelona took the matter into hands and came up with an innovative display for their items. Cool hats, bags, shoes and helmets are presented in a special way, being hanged out like washed clothes or put in boxes like they were fruits in the market. Dekap is a very cosy place and I like the retro touch that you can feel in there. The black and white photos, an old style mirror, the walls that were not touched by any restoration method are few of the elements that make it a special place. I guess the images talk for themselves. Enjoy!
I must add/the espadrilles are very fashionable now in Barcelona. Men and women, they all wear them for the summer. So go get a pair! Dekap has one of the most special models.
The roses were hanged from the ceiling for Sant Jordi and outside tens of stickers with messages from the people that pass by make the shop window. Isn't that nice?

crochet crochet crochet
My grandma used to tell me: My dear, you have to know how to sew but this is not enough. Crocheting is what every lady of the house should know. I didn't learn it in the end because I was the opposite of a patient child but I always admire her when she is crocheting and I love the blouses that she could make. This is why this activity brings back family memories and the good old times.
But last week, in one of the nicest boutiques in Raval, La Col.lectiva, Josep Mestres presented for the first time his crochet collection. What he creates looks very different from what usually crocheting means for most of us. He is creating volumes, working even for 6 months only for the birth of one dress. "I am 95% autodidact and this allows me to be my own chief. When I have in my mind the next thing I want to do, I don't think if it is possible or not, I just throw myself in the process and have fun without compromises. I think this why my creations look like that", says Josep Mestres. (Soy autodidacta el 95% y eso me permite seguir mi proprio patrón, también tediré que cuando pienso en lo que quiero hacer no pienso si es posible o no, simplemente me lanzo y disfruto sin ningún tipo de compromiso, creo que es por eso que me salen así).
The artist, because I think this is more than designing fashion, is - maybe without being aware - part of the slow movement, preserving and supporting traditional ways of life. I love his work! You can buy his dresses in La Col.lectiva, c/LLuna 6, Barcelona, Raval district, Barcelona.
