Maison Moschino x Themed Boutique Hotel
We can assure you’ve never slept in a luxury boutique hotel like the Maison Moschino. Owned by Fashion house Moschino, their Creative Director Rossella Jardini was the visionary behind the concept, design, and decoration. The hotel boasts 16 unique and whimsical private quarters, and 65 themed rooms, each meticulously decorated and designed. Our favorite piece is the pastry chandelier. A few themed rooms are the “Alice room”, “Petal Room”, “Red riding Hood”, “Clouds”, “Sleeping in a Ball Gown”, “Gold”, and “Luxurious attic”. All this artistic opulence comes at a price though, the themed rooms start at around $368 and up a night.

Is that an Aircraft Hotel?
Excerpt via Freshhome:
“Up for some unusual accommodation? Or perhaps you would like to catch up on your History lessons in an unconventional way. Either way, for today we’ve prepared something unexpected: a plane dating back to The Cold War that was transformed into a luxurious and intimate hotel. The aircraft had a capacity of 120 seats and was recycled and rearranged until it became a comfortable retreat for two. This odd looking suite has it all: an all-equipped kitchen, with furniture that blends in the plane’s wings, a 100% functional bathroom, a reading-room and a bedroom with typical furniture. The only place that was not remodeled was the pilot’s cabin, which is probably for the best, stating the aircraft’s authenticity and not making it lose its true nature.”

Apple Ipad x Accessories
We already did an iPad post, but there is more. The accessories that are surfacing are purely amazing. One thing Steve Jobs does is sell you on his products…in one way or another. We here at CO are assuming that if the iPad hasn’t sold you yet, they are counting on the content (teaming with magazine publishers Conde Nast the creators of GQ and Vogue, industry leading interactive game developers/software developers) and accessories to reel you in. A few are pictured below and expect tons more to surface before year end. We’ll keep you posted with the best. Enjoy!
