Lovely interiors of the recently opened The Chocolate Line chocolaterie in the historic Paleis op de Meir in Antwerp. Visitors can also peek into the kitchen and watch the delicious chcocolates being made. Nice idea.

The Chocolate Line was founded in Bruges in 1992 by “shock-o-latier” Dominique Persoone and Fabienne Destaercke.

Bang Bang – nice video promoting the new album of Ania Dabrowska – Ania Movie. The album is a collection of covers – songs known from films, and among them are such classics as Everbody’s Talkin’ from Midnight Cowboy, Suicide Is Painless from M*A*S*H, and Strawberry Fields Forever – in their new arrangements Ania recreates the magic of the cinema in her own unique way.

Her last.fm profile is here.

Ania’s interpretation of Nancy Sinatra’s Bang Bang (from Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill) is fabulous. I like her style.

Lula, Girl Of My Dreams, is a wonderful read. Truly girly and dreamy, this biannual magazine is filled with beautiful fashion, interesting interviews, and features covering film, art, and music.

The new Issue 10 lets its readers peek into the daily lives of Joanna Newsom, Ludivine Sagnier, and Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, among others. I also liked the portrayal of actress Shelley Duvall. The interview with designer Antonio Marras is illustrated with photography by Ellen von Unwerth. Lula’s fashion favorites can be found in the Lula Loves section.

Great design, nice typography, inspiring photography, and the aura of innocence add to Lula’s unique character.

Lula is 5 years old and it’s fresh and simply delightful. Happy birthday Lula!
