Enjoy. Best fish and chips in Sydney. One of the best coffees in Melbourne. Maybe best gelatto. Cool shop filled with one of a kind jewelry and objects. Arguably the best pizza in Melbourne. One of my favorites. Fantastic cafe in Sydney CBD. Monday. ... http://jeffreyburk.com/wordpress/2009/04/04/i-wanderer-business-cards-ii/ New AW09 online at Cheap Monday. Plenty of content to peruse with higher-res image downloads. Smart way to spread the word. Check the Customized Jeans Tour: Berlin, London & the denim patched light pole. http://jeffreyburk.com/wordpress/2009/03/20/cheap-monday-aw09/ Minimalist lighting from Lutz Pankow. The lights use an innovative magnetic joint creating a freedon of movement and modular combination of different bases, arms and light sources. http://jeffreyburk.com/wordpress/2009/03/17/lutz-pankow-lighting/ Orcas Stage on the Green, winner of the AIA Seattle 2008 Peoples Choice Award.

IF offers 4 different levels of paint complexity. Level 1 is a simple custom paint job, Level 4 is anything-you-want dream paint.  http://jeffreyburk.com/wordpress/2009/03/05/independent-mother-daughter/ Architect Fiona Dunin is doing great things at FMD Architects. Her work incorporates unique details - take a look and you'll see what I mean. Interesting use of mirror. Love the snow white kitchen and the bookshelves. Must have books near the kitchen.  Unique faceted detail above window, L shaped protrusion and ... http://jeffreyburk.com/wordpress/2009/02/20/an-angle-on-fmd-architects/ Enticing. There is something quite alluring about seeing multiples grouped into categories. You're drawn in by the neat displays, you want to get closer, handle.

Of course when I think of Custo I think of Desigual. I can't help it. This is not a bad thing as each brand is incredibly artistic AND both labels smother their clothes in detail.  I like the logo - yes it's ... http://jeffreyburk.com/wordpress/2009/02/12/desigual-below-summers-intense-color/ You know you want to configure your next BMW purchase using a 30" interactive touch screen interface.
