Lanvin & Alber Elbaz Create A Dress for Minnie Mouse - Alber Elbaz has created a custom-made Lanvin dress for Disney’s Minnie Mouse to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Disneyland Paris. Elbaz’s inspiration stems from Minnie’s love of colours, jewelry and everything sparkly. In his opinion, Minnie is a true fashionista!

For Mr. Elbaz this project represents a sort-of “fantasy-meets-reality” that allowed child-like naivety and purity into his work instead of the usual “glossy” fashion stuff.

The final product, a lovely electric-blue evening gown decorated with all sorts of sparkling tidbits and topped off with a ruby red crown; absolutely fitting to Minnie’s happy personality.

For Minnie and Alber Elbaz, dreams really do come true!

Chuck Taylor Flowers - A Valentine’s Day poem for these new SS13 All Stars.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
These sneakers are sweet,
And they’re brand new.

They’re easy to slip on,
And easy to slip off,
They are super convenient,
But they never fall off.

So check’em out now,
In Lavendula or Rose,
Because flowers are cute,
Way better then bows.

Little Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2013 - Our good friends over at Little Marc Jacob’s have sent us a preview of the Fall/Winter 2013 LMJ Collection. Although the girls stuff is quite cute, especially the absolutely perfect red faux-fur trimmings and the red zip boots, we are particularly wowed by LMJ’s on-point boyswear.

The boys red and beige Letterman jacket, as well as the leather Bomber jacket are definitely the stand out pieces for FW13. Honorable mentions go to the youthful blue party suit, the funny snarling bear graphic tee and the tailored peacoat. All pretty spiffy stuff.

We gotta tell ya kids, we are a bit envious!

9-Year-Old Rapper Lil Poopy - Controversial young rapper, Lil Poopy, is a 9 year old Bostonian with a “growing” talent. Although we believe he might be getting himself in a lil too deep for his age, Luie Rivera Jr. is playing the “Lil Poopy” role pretty well. He’s got the cars, the big booty babes and we dare say, a kinda catchy hook.

Lil Poopy’s producer stated in a interview with the Boston Herald that “the kid’s got everything: the look, the swagger, the lyrics, the delivery”, and with more than 20,000 views on his Youtube videos and 10,000 downloads on his mixtape, we are starting to believe him.

To boot, Lil Poopy was featured prominently in a video with French Montana, Diddy and Rick Ross, and he’s already performed with other rap stars including Waka Flocka Flame, Meek Mill and Wale.

All we can say is Good Luck Kid!

Listen to Lil Poopy’s mixtape here.

We can image that the Snug would be the ideal personal space for young readers and kids that like to have a cool spot so they can be alone, think and be creative.

The price varies with the size of the Snug. Visit kumeko.com for more info and to purchase the soft furnishing.

P.s. The Snug is currently on sale…
