ONE HUNDRED NINETY-THREE.

I know, I know. I have waxed on and on about tumblr, back in the day, like it was something to talk about on Christmas morning. I still love tumblr, don't get me wrong, and have had to go through several intervention periods where I had to stop looking through the different blogs - like SHOELUST, where I would salivate over shoes that I'd kill to own (but you know, I have to pay my rent ...) and then there are the random craft pages, blogs dedicated to Michael Buble being stalked by a raptor.

But then there are blogs like Hello New York who ultimately show you some incredible images of the city, the kind of image that both serve as iconic and romantic view of the city, whether it be within the city or just passing by. Definitely take the time to go through them.

ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN.

As always, tumblr is a great source for all things cool and inspiring. Check out Graphic Everywhere - where everything is pretty fantastic with a ton of humor.

NINETY-THREE.

Happy long weekend, readers! Hopefully, today's warm temperatures and Project Runway reruns on BRAVO mean it's going to be a long, if not relaxing kind of weekend. We hope that you might find something special this weekend that will kick some inspiration into gear. So to start us off, here are few of our favorite things for the week!

DWELL. With its tagline at home in the modern world, DWELL’s website is an excellent, eclectic mix of product recommendations, insights into assorted home renovations and creations, events, people, and places. Pay special attention their ideas section, where DWELL offers a range of perspectives that are organized by topic and room for easy accessibility.

YSIOS BODEGA. The winery is located north of the classic wine-growing region of La Rioja in the province of Álava, Spain. Bodegas y Bebidas, is one of the largest groups in the region, and wanted a building that would be an icon for its new wine “la Rioja Alavesa” and have the space to accommodate the precise and rigorous program needed to make, store and sell their wine. They commissioned internationally-renowned architect Santiago Calatrava to create a distinctive piece of architecture to give an exceptional image to this new label.

THE WRIGHT. Located within the Guggenheim Museum, the new restaurant is an homage to Frank Lloyd Wright’s celebrated design. It is designed by ‘designers to watch’, Andre Kikoski Architects. The restaurant’s opening commemorates the 50th anniversary of the museum with it’s contemporary design and mood, also assisted by British artist Liam Gillick’s gorgeous, commissioned installation.

B-SIDES. So we’re pretty excited about this one! BARNEYS has officially joined the blogsphere with B-SIDES with a mix of fun fashion favorites, something you would expect from them of course. But the real delight is how personalized and fun their commentary is – something that makes you feel like you’re sitting, chatting with your friends about the fashion favorites you love.

FUNKY LUNCH. So everybody knows that if it doesn’t look right, you’re not going to eat it whether you’re just kid or a grownup. Funky Lunch solidifies its status into one of the internet greats. Born out of wanting to take the ordinary into something extraordinary, Funky Lunch creates wonderfully fun ideas that allows you to step past saying, “oh, just a sandwich.”

FLYLYF. This is a very cool style, design, photography, film, and tech site. Take the time to especially look through their design section, where you’ll be able to glance at a mix of what’s the latest in graphics, animation, installations, and art. Pay special attention to the photostreams, like this one from a Scottish photographer whose images are both vibrant and haunting.

JOSEPH HEIDECKER'S PHOTOFURNITURE. While it's another addition to the growing trend of apply any image or pattern along the contours of a particular product, Heidecker achieves his own spin on the trend by going the old school route of cut and paste - which has lead to an expanding collection of vintage kitchen, coffee, low tables, and a six drawer dress. The best part? Greatest use of the embarrassing yearbook photo ever.

BRYANBOY. One of the biggest stars of the fashion blogging world, his blog is hysterically fantastic and full of great commentary. You know you're doing something right when Marc Jacobs goes and names one of his great handbang - the BB ostrich bag - after you.

HIPHOTELS. We love Hip Hotels with their gorgeous, gorgeous collection of galleries of some the coolest and most innovative room designs. Another reason to love them? Joining with Warner Music, Hip Hotels has launched the first of a series of albums that are based on music discovered traveling; it's aimed to share music that reflects the emotional nature of travel too.

THE MOST ANTICIPTED BOOKS OF 2010. Of course, there are albums. Of course, there are trends in fashion, design, film, etc. But we do know that it’s terribly hard sometimes to find both the time to read and to go find the perfect book for yourself. Thus, we give you something a little different to go through to make it easier.

EIGHTY-SIX.

tumblr is full of some of our favorite places, places that could really kill the time should you have a few minutes or show. But SHOELUST is the place to be on tumblr, a place where you can not only waste a few minutes but it's filled with pages and pages of a girl's other best friend -

SHOES.

EIGHTY-FOUR.

Now for a bit of a housekeeping break. There are several places to find us, of course. The PHI site is our home, a place where you can find out more about who we are and what our philosophy is.

As always, there's the blog - a place to share all things that inspire us, that make us laugh, that stir our day-to-day curiosities. And when it decides it wants to cooperate, there is our tumblr where you find a range of quick inspirations - photos and music clips, quotes and even videos to share. If you have your own tumblr account, follow us! It's a great place to share.

There's our flickr as well, where you will be able to see photos from our events and there is our Twitter, where you can follow us for a day-to-day update of things as well. And for the record? Conan O'Brien is a class-act.

SEVENTY-EIGHT.

Unfortunately, Sunday seems to be a slow news day. Fortunately tumblr seems to be the perfect tool to pass the hours upon hours of strange CSI or L&O: SVU marathons that the networks on weekends take the time to inflict on us. But that's an entirely different post for another day.

This picture comes from tumblr which has a knack of producing some really unusual and cool things. We're hoping the caption "W+K office in Portland. Yes. Bleachers. Ping pong arena. I want to go to there," to mean Wieden & Kennedy, the advertising agency responsible for a plethora of cool things like the "Go Forth" ads from Levi. Because an arena for ping pong has just elevated them to whole different level of coolness.

FORTY-FIVE.

"In an age when other fantastically speedy, widespread media are triumphing and running the risk of flattening all communication onto a single, homogeneous surface, the function of literature is communication between things that are different simply because they are different, not blunting but even sharpening the differences between them, following the true bent of the written language." Italo Calvino, Six Memos for the Next Millennium.

Things to look forward to! Photos from today's project setup, comments from the peanut gallery, music, coffee talking, favorites. If you want to find us elsewhere, there's our twitter, which you can always follow, and our tumblr. Don't forget!

TWENTY-EIGHT.
