A house capable of floating atop rising floodwaters made its debut Tuesday in New Orleans alongside more than a dozen other homes built through actor Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation. Called the FLOAT House, the unique home aims to answer the challenge posed by the Big Easy’s flood risk, starkly illustrated by the rising waters of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
“I wanted to float it down the Mississippi River to New Orleans,” architect Thom Mayne says with a chuckle while in New Orleans for Tuesday’s event.

SWAMISZ!!
I've come across a new sandal which I love! The brand is called SWAMISZ, they come in a variety of colours and are so comfortable. I picked up a pair over the weekend and have fallen in love! They are eco-friendly and 100% natural rubber. They have a stylish toe plug and support strap to keep it on your foot, it is similar to a flip-flop but you don't get the sound while walking which normal flip-flops make.SWAMISZ is a design modelled on Ancient Indian wooden shoes named the "Paduka" - except the SWAMISZ are funky and fashionable.I thought I would inform everyone about this new sandal if you don't already know, they are so comfortable and you can literally wear them everywhere!Discarded to Divine Fashion Show, Thursday, 5/7
