In a Reuters article, Ai was quoted as saying: “This is the first time I’m having an exhibition of my art works in the wider Chinese world. I’m really happy that it can be exhibited in Taiwan, because recently it has not possible to have an exhibition in my own place of residence.

NOKIA N9 I’m married to the iPhone, but if I ever decided to cheat, here she is: NOKIA N9. Sporting a 4” inch AMOLED screen, the phone is dripping with impressive specs: 16-64GBs of internal storage, a curved glare and scratch resistant Corning Gorilla glass screen, and an 8 megapixel camera backed by a wide angle Carl Zeiss lens (F2.2).

LANVIN OXFORD LEATHER BROGUES I wouldn’t normally blast shoes online that I plan to buy, because I don’t want to run into a another soul in DC with my soles. But, I’ve been talking about these to everyone already, so I decided to share them with you here. Lanvin’s Oxford Leather Brogue ($945) is absolute perfection in oxblood, the rich hue has a stunning luster and finish that’s marked with subtle brogue detailing and a rib at the toe cap, heel, and center. You’ve gotta figure out where to get them on your own. Chances are, if you know me, you know who sells them.
