A Prophet (Un prophete)

Saw this on Friday.
Tahar Rahim was great in the lead role.
Directed by Jacques Audiard.
I liked the poster too - very Nouvelle Vaguish with the bands of color and b+w photo.

Shop Exterior

Yesterday I took a field trip to mjoLK: a wonderful new space in the Junction which just opened last December. MjoLK (which means milk in Swedish) is a gorgeous shop dedicated to all things Scandinavian - run by design enthusiasts Juli Daoust and John Baker. (The pair are actually not Scandinavian - but you'd never know that from their groovy haircuts and impeccable taste!) The shop has a corresponding beautiful website which was designed by Sali Tabacchi here in Toronto. Really gorgeous and definitely worth a visit.

Press: Arren Williams

Arren Williams interviewed me for the 5 quick questions section of his blog today. Arren is a stylist, editor and trend reporter. He writes regularly for Canadian House and Home + The National Post plus this winter he was featured in big ads on the sides of buses for the IDS show. (Just had to mention that Arren!) :-)

Johanna Schneller's advice for the Oscars

"Stop courting the audience that doesn’t care about you, and stop alienating the audience that does."

I thought this was great.
