I love "http://weloveyouso.com"

Spike Jonze's film rendition of Maurice Saudek's Where The Wild Things Are was quite easily the most anticipated animation and remake of a children's story EVER (then again it is a beloved story) and the pre-movie merchandising has been incredible.  I loooooove http://weloveyouso.com a blog where the makers of the film has "shed some light on many of the small influences that have converged to make this massive project a reality."  It's wonderful - inspiring in fact and rather cheeky. . .just like the story.

There was a post on the lovely Olympia le Tan and her "Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover Collection" - that's how I stumbled upon this blog . . .  

Some book covers/bags from Olympia 

Hitting on her link opened the doors to another world for me - where so much love and collaboration went into making this movie possible.  
I absolutely cannot wait to watch it - I wonder when the Wild Things will come visit us here in Bankgok . . .very very soon I hope.

Read me a bag . . .

Or bag me a read . . .not sure what it should be - irrespective of that, I am definitely positively sure that I would like one of Olympia Le Tan's book clutches.  J.D Sallinger's "Catcher in the Rye" as a hard clutch would be divine.  Looooove them so much (and this is from the pictures and Cleo's descriptions).



I adore the way that the bags are displayed with the books in the Galerie Vero Dodat- it reminds us that we should be carrying around books - next thing you know I will be carrying my book clutch and another pocket sized novel with me everywhere.


Olympia is Cleo's older, gorgeous and super-talented sister - not only does she design, she also sings, dj's, consults etc.  Little wonder where little Cleo gets her impeccable taste, wit, smarts, and to-die-for humour from.  

Congratulations Olympia, the bags are DOPE!
