Handmade Wooden iPad Docking Station


When we saw this baby on Etsy, we knew we had to post it and grab it up, so you’d better beware that we might get to it first!

Check out this simply amazing and eco-friendly handmade Wooden Docking Station for not only your new iPad but also your iPhone or iPod, though it appears that the shuffle can sadly not be charged with this station.

This luxurious docking station, despite its rustic charm, just uses a standard USB plug so you can sync with the computer with ease. Cost, $188 from Etsy seller, WoodTec

PUMA Suede Made in Japan

Some really spectacular photos I found. I think these really capture the essence of the fine art of shoe crafting and how many people work so hard to make some of the simplest of luxury's that we take for granted everyday.
The shoot captures the very first time that Puma’s iconic “Suede” model has been made in Japan. Reportedly lighter on the foot and made with higher quality materials, the made in Japan Suede will be available in a handful of block colorways. Detailed with an individual serial number on the tongue, the new versions provide a welcomed update to an already established classic.
