Giant Lego man found in Netherlands
A giant, smiling Lego man was fished out of the sea in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort but no one knows where it came from or what it is. Workers at a drinks stall rescued the 2.5-meter (8ft) tall model with a yellow head and blue torso from the sea and placed it in the sand.
"We saw something bobbing about in the sea and we decided to take it out of the water" said a stall worker. "It was a life-sized Lego toy"

Art House - Jingumae, Tokyo
This small live in studio and salon has been decked in black paint with a beautifully elegant mural, depicted from the salon's own brand to engulf its two exposed walls. The hand-painted pattern is reminiscent of an inverted Rorschach inkblot drawing. Yet the symmetrical display blends perfectly with the centre place - a woman overwhelmed by the surrounding plumage. And while the windows are large and severe, they don't distort the image. Instead, They perforate the design with different levels of intensity, revealing larger and smaller details of what lies beneath.
Inside, the space has been deliberately simplified, so as to not compete with the eye-catching exterior. Blackened wood surfaces sit quietly against the enlarged windows, decorated with cream-colored blinds. While the theme of masculie and feminine remains true throughout. The angular planes of the structure repeat in the harsh lines of the furniture and the effeminate fresco is imitated by the soft lighting inside. A smart yet simple piece that respects theduality of the building somewhere to live and work.

Shoe Store - The World's Best
"One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art" The financially fortunate seem to agree, with well-manicured feet peaking from artistic footwear worth their weight in rubies and diamond detail.
The art of footwear is not limited to those of stratospheric bank accounts. The need for fashionable shoe has crossed all social boundaries. Collecting retro-style sneakers to high-end designer fashion heels, shoe sales are a major part of the international fashion market and a serious indicator of status and sub culture.
The shoe store has evolved, side-by-side, into an equally stylish hub of modern fashion. No matter if you're talking about a pair JIMMY Choo wedges or a rare collectable pair of original 1985 Nike Air Jordan sneakers - there is a carefully manicured storeroom and market-analyzed price tag for each.
So what's your favorite shoe store?
Where is my own store?
COMING SOON!
