FaceID is a cool, new system that will be the driving force behind most home security systems. The usual password, swipe card, retina and fingerprint scanning systems are already behind us, as face recognition takes it place in our midst. What’s really exciting about it is that it isn’t the usual concept that leaves us dreaming for a particular gadget, instead, FaceID is available, and looks good enough to make your porch look like the entry of a Smart Home. It uses a pair of digital cameras that help create a 3D image of your face. This face model is stored and matched with whoever stands before the system and decides whether to let in someone or not. Thankfully, it works in the dark as well.
Make sure that you take your mask off after the drunken party else you’re not getting in.
The Spanish label Pull and Bear offers us a wide range of chic rock’n’roll clothes for both men and women. The ad campaign looks funny and interesting with models wearing garments in repair shops, barns and some abandened buildings.
Clothes look great with a bit of casual feel. Colors are mostly dark: blacks, greys and blues. And patterns aren’t frequently used, just a few plaid shirts and jackets.
I like hats: girls’ berets, men’s fedoras and caps. Sunglasses look fantastic!

See and enjoy the pictures!

Kate Moss collection with TopShop. The photoshoot was done with unusual lightling making Kate look really curvy and hot.
The 35-year-old supermodel says the collection is inspired by traditional Japanese and Chinese styles and techniques. It displays prints of bamboo, flying stalks, lotus flowers, fireworks, etc.
Beside beautiful dresses you see, the line includes a series of shrugs and sequinned knit waistcoats to keep you warm in the cold winter evenings.
To add to these, the model created a few lingerie items for the range: triangular-shaped bras as well as floral printed silk pyjamas. And it was planned to include nightwear into the line too.
The new range is going to generate the usual hysteria from teenagers desperate to imitate the icon’s style. But Kate considers it’s not her celebrity status that makes her lines so successful.
She told The Observer’s Woman magazine:
