		<title>The Little Pantry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>If you agree that icing-to-cake ratios should be pretty damn high, cremas should be taken seriously, and at least one waitperson at any cafe should be a cute Italian with a nice smile, then you can make this place home away from couch too.</p>

		<title>Jeromy Lim SS12, ‘Valhalla’</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Lim’s take on this majestic hall is a collection filled with ease and  basics in black and cream. An oversized, <a href="http://images.portableshops.com/4f95f596a125e.690.510.jpg">unisex peacoat-inspired jacket</a> rounds out the collection; the really affordable <a href="http://images.portableshops.com/4f95f5aba5037.690.510.jpg">micro-totes in red</a> tartan are a nice addition, too.</p>

		<title>Up Tights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Penny Kokinelis is a 26-year-old from Sydney. She makes kaleidoscopic leggings (or, okay, ‘tights’ – WEIRD) for her label <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Uptightso?ref=top_trail" target="_blank">Up Tights</a>.  Penny does everything from designing the graphics to sewing the garments to  budgeting and distribution. Feeling lazy yet?  That’s okay, leggings are perfect for that.</p>

		<title>Bobby Fischer Against The World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>That old chestnut about genius being touched with madness is a dead horse that's been beaten to a pulp. Yet it's hard to watch this gripping documentary about Bobby Fischer's astonishing career without regularly returning to it.</p>

		<title>An Interview with Shaun Tan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Tan’s work is sophisticated, surreal and bleak – qualities synonymous with the best children’s literature. Viewed from adulthood, his work is equally as compelling. <em><a href="http://www.thelostthing.com/ " target="_blank">The Lost Thing</a></em>’s animated film adaptation won an Oscar, as did <em><a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/wall_e/" target="_blank">Wall-E</a>,</em> on which Tan worked as a concept artist.</p>

		<title>Making Wet: The Magazine of Gourmet Bathing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>One thing I love about Los Angeles is the sheer fruitcake-iness of the place. Religious cults, diet gurus, pet psychologists, auras and fads. Few other places are you so encouraged to indulge your every personal whim. A cultural artefact that perfectly embodies this is <em><a href="http://www.wetmagazine.com/" target="_blank">WET: The Magazine of Gourmet Bathing</a></em>.</p>
