Pimpalicious!

Mrz 31st, 2010

Today in the office I found a little brochure within a stash of paper in our meeting area.

Pimpalicious

I mean… how can I resist when I read “Chase your dreams”?!? Inside I’ve found the freshest street wear t-shirts EVER! The typographic designs are amazing – someone definitely knew what he was doing – very colorful, very bold, outstanding!

Of course I checked out their website where I’ve found more shirts in all kinds of colors and designs, some with a bit provocative prints and unfortunately more clothing for the boys than for the ladies but yet I’ve found 2 shirts that I really really like and couldn’t decide which one I liked better.

Before I ask you for shopping advice let me tell you about the brand. PIMPALICIOUS LIVING is based in Amsterdam and consist of 2 main members – Glamma and Ceizer – who meet a select group of people to express their ideas. Their products mean to reflect their life visions.

Let me copy their philosophy as I cannot think of better words that describe what they’re all about. It’s a beautiful text:

Pimpalicious Living is chasing your dreams and living your fantasies. Pimpalicious Living is doing what you do, and staying true to yourself. Stay fresh, dress to impress and never settle for less than success. We make it kool for you being you. Be yourself and never miss a piece of sunshine. Pimpalicious Living shouldn’t be misunderstood, we’re all about living good. We breathe positivity till infinity. Appreciate the moment of now, enjoy your life. Most people think about the future and talk about the past. They forget to live the moment and enjoy every second of it. Set your goals and chase your dreams, enjoy every moment while living your life according to your own rules. Pimpin’ to us is living it up, doing the best with your life. What is the best you can do with your life? Think about that and do it big, even when you do it small do it big. You don’t have to be a millionaire to live the millionaire dream.

The shirts are all child labor free, 100% fair-trade and fine combed cotton. I must admit I’m deeply impressed. They have stores all over Holland and even in Hong-Kong, Istanbul, Paris, Luxembourg and Switzerland. But of course you can order directly from their online-shop.

Isn’t that fabulous? This brand makes me feel good already. Their thoughts and dreams speak directly from my heart. This discovery made my day!

Pimpalicious - Chase your dreams

Ok so now please help me choose. Those two here are my favorites BUT (damnit) sold out.


So I’ve chosen those two here that I like, too. Which one should I get? I’d love to hear your opinion.

Pimp my dress

Mrz 30th, 2010

… said my new colleague last week. “Do something with this tunic. It’s boring!”

Lou: “What do you want me to do with it?”

She: “You’ll think of something!”

Ok… a task was born. One where I was asked to do whatever the hell I want. YAY!!

Sunday I woke up and had an idea as I looked at our curtains. They’re from Ikea and the fabric is just beautiful. As they were too long I cut them shorter and with the rest of it I renewed the tunic.

before

Simply cut out some leaves and sewed it on the fabric.

In addition to the leaves I covered some buttons with the same fabric and added them on the little pockets.

If you ever want me to change clothes for you – I’ll get paid with cake.  Feel free to contact me :-)

Quote of the week

Mrz 26th, 2010

life is about

Hello everyone,  welcome to this week’s Friday evening. This week was actually a wonderful one. The weather turned from cold and ice into mild and sunny, I’ve met someone who adds a lot of happiness to my day and I can tell you my days were already full of joy, I tried some egg-painting and that was probably one of my most creative outcomings in months. I can truly say – even if it sounds cheesy – that I’m all rainbows and unicorns!

Furthermore I want to encourage you to dream big, believe in yourself, don’t be afraid of anything, face your fears and don’t be afraid to try out whatever you want to do.  Trust in what you wish for and sooner or later it will come true.

Have a peaceful weekend.

xo, Lou

An italian pizza parlor here in Frankfurt put this on their packaging. Found on the street in front of our office. Even there on the dirty floor besides some cigarettes it put me in a happy mood. I love my city!

One more egg + sharpies = easter egg update!

Mrz 23rd, 2010

I did it again. It’s so much fun my head is full of ideas now.
This one is for a sweet couple in my agency who brought me a pack of Sharpie’s recently from the US and as they didn’t want to see my money I made them an egg. They love Las Vegas and so that’s the theme done in an old-school tattoo style. Hope they will like it!
Mark and Shy! This is for you! Thanx a lot!!
