These mile-high hairdos are simply fit for a Gaga. CuldeSac and Studio Marisol will offer a workshop this summer at C.I.R.E.C.A. (Centre International de Recherche et d'Education Culturelle et Agricole, in the southwest of France), from July through mid-September. The class, appropriately titled, “Crazy Hair,” will teach students how to cut and style human locks into something quite grand. We fear if we were to don one of these colossal creations we would topple over, but if you can keep your equilibrium, the result is quite chic!

Gustav Klimt Tee Gustav Klimt Tee
View Gallery

Austrian painter Gustav Klimt probably never thought his art would be recreated into a cotton t-shirt and donned by hipsters while shopping at the farmer’s market, and we would like to know what he’d think. Either way, we love this patchwork tee, featuring some of his most famous printed textile designs from the Wiener Werkstätte. Perfect for your next cultural excursion. THE DETAILS: The Met Store, $45 for non-members, $40.50 for members

Scoot in Style

At first glance, this appears a perfectly average scooter, non? Maybe you zipped around on one when you were younger, maybe little brother still has his---but we guarantee you've never seen one quite like this. Look a little closer, and you'll see that telltale double C logo on the bar. A little closer, and you see the name itself: that's right, it's Chanel. We know Cavalli loves his Segway, but what we wouldn't give to see Karl scooting around on this baby...

The thunderstorms may have let up for the day, but we're sorry to say it looks like they'll be back tomorrow. The good news? We've found you a perfectly adorable umbrella to put you in a good mood during even the dreariest storm. Courtesy of Alber (naturally), this Lanvin printed umbrella is covered in cheery little faces---with even an appearance by l'homme himself. THE DETAILS: Lanvin printed umbrella, $140, www.aloharag.com

If you are craving a sugary treat, but have the will power to refrain from purchasing a bag of gummy bears during your next grocery run, Chic suggests the next best thing to a candy fix…a darling GummiLight that looks just like the penny candy, only enormous and battery powered. Peruse the other home décor confections over at Jellio for some delightful furnishings high in fructose corn syrup. Our favorite picks? The giant candy dots bench and the ice cream sandwich loveseat. Kick back and indulge! THE DETAILS: Jellio, $500 for a set of five GummiLights
