I don’t typically put cars / bikes on my blog even though I love, love them since it’s kind of off-topic. Spotted this bike parked in front of our favorite ramen place and couldn’t stop drooling all over it. The hotness goes beyond spoken words. It even made the weird Asian dude that owned it looked hot by proximity. This is the Ducati Monster 696. (Warning: loud website with Godzilla on it) It’s only been recently that I notice more and more high-performance bikes taking this “Naked” trend — meaning there’s no engine cover like the standard race bikes we’ve seen in the past. Good stuff. 

 
It was love at first sight when i spotted this Akiko Lamp from Habitat London on a business trip. Unfortunately the price tag was way too high for my pocket and given that I was across the pond it wasn’t suitable to lug a giant beautiful thing around. I’m still in love with it. Akiko, one day you shall be mine. 399 Euro. The store, Habitat, is sooo awesome. It’s like a little haven made for me. Too bad it doesn’t exist in the US.
