Nars & Daphne Guinnness

So our goddess, Daphne Guinness is now the face of Nars cosmetics. She's promoting the new purple eye shadow that costs $23, created and named after her by François Nars. "When I started thinking about colors that meant Daphne to me, purple felt right," he explained.

With this new eye shadow, plus Daphne Guinness on the ads, François is expecting to make at least $8 million in sales and this would help him open his first own store in November. The store is planned to be located at Bleecker Street and he would sale special items, like palettes and nail polish. Besides this new store, he might put out a book next year, which I guess would be amazing, 'cause since I can remember, Nars has always had incredible ads.

Daphne is unique and amazing, no matter what she does or what she wears I guess I would always be speechless and this ad are no exception. I want my mom to be like her and of course with the same wardrobe so I can steal of all her Treacy's...

Tree Dimensional Art

Sorry, I've been sleeping for two weeks in a row and that's the reason why I haven't write a single entry... Besides, I didn't find anything that was worth of writing about. But now I found it...

Enzo Enea is a Swiss landscape designer who took his hobby as a tree collector far from this, becoming a tree curator/landscape designer. Now he's celebrating the opening of The Tree Museum on the banks of Lake Zurich, taking what we have in mind of a garden to whole new different level, creating a modern-day Eden.

He deals with great clients, art collectors, Picassos and Warhols buyers, he, instead collects Japanese maples and weeping willows, creating with his trees an unique collection, an open-air museum. "I think they are natural pieces of art. For 20 years I have been collecting trees from all over Europe. I wanted to show how much beauty and power there is around us", said Enea.

The Tree Museum, opened in June 14th, has an oval shape where he created a series of "rooms" which showcase over 50 trees and 25 species, all set to allow the view from different angles. His ambition goes almost beyond his success. He has a 2000 trees personal collection, plus two headquearters, one in Switzerland and the other one in Miami. Of course, his creations goes to a limited part of society, the in-the-know super rich.

I love passionate people and Enzo is one of them. He doesn't consider himself only as a tree collector but as a curator "because it's a collection. And you put things in a museum which must be conserved. It's not like a public park. Children can't climb these trees - I would shoot them!" LOL.

It's really worth to take some time and google him. He has amazing designs and makes trees be looked from a whole new perspective, appreciating nature from an artsy point of view. Many people might say that "they're only trees", but not for him and not for me, not as he set them in a garden and not by the meaning they have for him, who truly has a passion for what he does.
