Bar Luce by Wes Anderson

I die. Wes Anderson has exclusively designed a cafe as part of Prada's Fondazione Prada in Milan's recently opened art and cultural centre and it's a totally gorgeous place.

Anderson is known for it's pretty and cool aesthetics on his movies so no wonder Bar Luce was going to be such a great place for all those dreamy Wes Anderson's fans. From the jukebox, the 'Life Acuatic' pinball machine, to the pretty design of the chairs, sofas and floors, and the detailed Bar Luce signature on every dish and uniform, the director has described this cafe as "the perfect place to write a movie", and it definitely is.

If i ever travel to Milano, which i've never visited yet, don't ever doubt that i'm visiting this cafe and taking tons of pictures as the ones i'm posting below from instagram users, it couldn't be a more dreamy place to have a cafe and spend a nice afternoon with friends. Check out more pics after the cut.

Stereotyping you by your favorite director

By now you know i love the "Stereotyping" kind of posts, i've already posted the Stereotyping you by your fave 90s band and Diagnosing your romantic issues based on your fave literary couple, so now it's time to stereotype you by your favorite director. I'm missing directors like Michael Hankeke, Francis Ford Coppola, Kevin Smith, Jane Campion or Pedro Almodóvar but it's a funny list and i've marked my fave ones so check out the full list at the source and get stereotyped. According to this i'm a weirdo who wouldn't mind to be Jewish, who loves the 80s and quotes way too many movies and would love to be a filmmaker. Pretty accurate:

Steven Spielberg

Prada Candy L'Eau teaser

What's with all these Coppolas making TV adverts for fragances? First we got Sofia Coppola and La Vie en Rose for Miss Dior and now her brother Roman Coppola has teamed up with none other than Wes Anderson to make a fashion shortfim for Prada Candy L'Eau with French actress Lea Seydoux.

The teaser, which has vibes to the Bande à part, is only a taste of what we have coming and it looks exquisite, with Wes Anderson's trademark all over it and the charm of Lea Seydoux and her doll face. So far i'm loving it, i'm already teased!
