Flux Wins 2007 Peugeot Concours Design Competition

Peugeot’s biennial design competition gives budding car designers the chance to see their creations exhibited, in full-scale model form, at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The theme of this year’s competition is to ‘re-invent the drive of your life, Peugeot style’, following a six-letter philosophy of PLEASE - Pleasurable, Lively, Efficient, Accessible, Simple and Ecological.

The winner of this year’s competition was won by Mihai Panaitescu with his design, Flux. According to its creator, the car is intended to be sporty and versatile, and able to handle many different environments with ease. I have to say it’s more slick than anything else.

More From Liza McLaughlin

We were so excited about Liza McLaughlin’s maple pod necklace from yesterday that we wanted to show a few more of her pieces. We get excited pretty easily, and usually briefly, but we are totally feeling this, if you know what we mean.

We are so over the whole bird thing but this is so lovely we do not entirely mind. Wren necklace in sterling silver, $110

We don’t really like rings—we swear they make our hands itch—but if we were going to, this might be the one. Sage ring in 14kt rose gold, $900. (There’s also a less crazy-priced option in 14kt gold vermeil for $85.)

This is almost as excellent as the maple pod necklace. 3 Leaf Moons as earrings or necklace, $85

And isn’t this just so nice? It’s freaking us out that something so nice comes in such a small package. Nature cameo tags, $180

Tom Ford Sunglasses

I’ve never been much of a sunglasses girl. Don’t get me wrong, I think they look very cool on celebs and most people around me. But personally, I just don’t want to spend 300usd on an accessory that I’m going to use probably 5 times a year, (and then it’ll probably go out of season.) Which is why I don’t pay much attention to sunglasses in general. That is until I got bored shopping one day, I remembered that Ashley Olsen wore Tom Ford’s Hawkings (iamge above,) and I tried a few pairs on. (No, I’m not trying them on only because I’m a fan of Ashley’s. We have a similar face shape, which as you know, is key to whether glasses look good on one or not.)

I first tried on this pair. When it comes to sunglasses, I prefer metal frames because in my mind, metal frames seem more classic and less cheap-looking. This is one pair of sunglasses that looks trendy but basic enough that I could wear for the next few years. Unfortunately, it looked awful on me.

Then I tried on this extremely trendy-looking pair (called Whitney.) I LOVED it! It suited my roundish face and looked so cool. I liked them so much I tried them on at 3 different shops. But a pair of Tom Fords is about 1.5 times the price of a pair of Marc Jacobs, meaning that they’re really expensive, even in this time when accessory prices are going up and up.

The saleslady told me that Tom Ford doesn’t exactly have a FW07 collection of sunglasses, but the newer styles that the shops have at the moment are generally new colours of the SS07 styles. This is slightly comforting in that if you bought yours in the SS season, at least you’ll know they’re still ‘in season’ for the FW season. But for now, since it’s almost winter, I should probably just wait for the SS08 collection. Plus, I’m really not ready to part with 300+usd for a pair of Tom Fords.
