Audi A1 Best Luxury Small Car of 2012

The Audi A1 has been named Best Luxury Small Car of 2012 by CarBuyer’s expert panel of road testers.
Editor-in-Chief of CarBuyer, Steve Fowler, explained: “The Audi A1 continues to be the best luxury small car for CarBuyer users. It’s posh, but not too pricey, while running costs are super low. We love the way it looks, the way it drives and the quality for the cash is unbeatable.”
The judges also highlighted that the A1’s “sleek good looks and an incredibly upmarket cabin are at the heart of the Audi’s appeal, while its impeccable build quality is second to none…”
What’s more, the arrival of the more versatile five-door Sportback version [in the UK] means the A1 is now as practical as it is desirable.

French Toast Macaron

The dedicated blogger known only as Lemonpi created these breakfast-inspired French Toast Macarons in honor of a friend’s birthday. A powerhouse of decadence, these condensed sweet morning meal morsels are shamelessly rich. Taking on the flavor profiles of all your favorite breakfast foods, these French Toast Macarons are impossible to resist.
To make the shells of the macaron more like french toast, Lemonpi swapped out the usual almond meal for fine breadcrumbs, which altered the overall texture of the macaron. The shells were then topped with a piping of buttery smokey bacon custard, as well as a few pieces of maple glazed bacon. These French Toast Macarons are the perfect delicate bite for sugar-loving carnivores everywhere. Topped with a light dusting of bacon and a maple syrup glaze, these tasty bites are enough to make anyone’s jaw drop.
Terribly tempting, decadent and downright evil, these French Toast Macarons deliver all the taste of breakfast in one delicious bite.

Pozzi-Ginori bathroom designs

Designers Antonio Citterio and Sergio Brioschi have produced a collection of sleek, modern furniture under commission from luxury ceramics company, Pozzi-Ginori. The pieces achieve the elegance of modern aesthetics while avoiding the clinical, sterile effect that too many sharp angles and straight lines sometimes produce. This is accomplished through the designers’ use of weight and material. For example, the bathtubs are set in large, almost square slabs of marble. This shape gives them a comfortable sense of sturdiness while maintaining clean, simple lines; Citterio and Brioschi’s use of marble provides a welcome human texture to an otherwise angular motif.

In many ways, Citterio and Brioschi’s work is reminiscent of older aesthetics; African and colonial Spanish designs seem to influence their work. The Citterio and Brioschi collection is a refreshing departure from the almost dystopian excesses of certain modernist sensibilities.
