No, not THAT Jenny Lopez… Among the nation of Colombia’s finest exports is model Jenny Lopez, a relative unknown outside of the catalog modeling circuit. Miss Lopez has been hidden in the shadows of nomenclature under the “actress” of the same name, so we’re doing our part to shed a little light in her direction. This 5′8″ Colombian model measures 34-24-35, has hit the occasional cover on mostly international magazines, and is the face (and body) of intimates like Bare Necessities and others. We’d love to see our favorite of the two Jenny Lopez girls get a bit more attention– with a look like that, she certainly deserves it. Enjoy the gallery, StyleCravers…

Built to pay “respect” to the Blairgowrie peninsula, the Letterbox Home was created to bring smiles. Designed by architects at McBride Charles Ryan, the 900 square-foot Australian home undulates and seethes with indoor and outdoor spaces, inviting viewers to try to find its doors and windows. Golden brown wood striations mark the exterior façade, which is echoed inside with wood flooring. Bright red structural accents sweep through the home’s living space and the bedroom is framed with clean, white walls and natural light that pours in from an attached patio. [via archdaily]

Rumors have it that Bentley and Audi have teamed up and are trying to create the perfect luxury sedan, the new Bentley Arnage. Screaming opulence, the sumptuous and refined Arnage Final Series not only attracts with its sleek curves– but also exhibits environmental manners with a clean diesel engine. Although the new model won’t come cheap, it’s the elegance and the sportiness that triggers our excitement. We’re that close to breaking the bank for one of these… [via Autoblog]

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. Finally, that one day of the year when we can all get together and get completely hammered on a weeknight without having to come up with an excuse like “my dog died” or “I got fired” or “it’s Wednesday.” Nope, no bullshit excuses to justify your chronic alcoholism and long suffering liver on St. Pat’s day, just shitty green beer, good friends (hopefully) and lots of bar fights (double hopefully). And let’s face it, by the end of the night, you’re going to be slurring your curse words and saying sexually inappropriate stuff to chicks anyway, why not let your fellow party-goers know what to expect from you ahead of time by rocking one of these equally offensive t-shirts?

Creative Recreation sneakers are a stylish high top selection that has a certain, shall we say, “natural glow.” Shine is more like it– this new addition to the Tobi shop is available in a bright leather that’s slightly mesmerizing in its patent finish. Bright blue details make things all the more striking, and this is one color combination that hasn’t been overdone. Here’s to a fresh start for spring. [$105 at tobi]

Originally built in the 80s, the Peninsula Residence in Austin, Texas received a minimalist facelift to enhance its appeal and blend with the natural scenery and the nearby lake. The Peninsula Residence features a triangular pool on a quiet, wooded lot, a nature scene that flows into an interior with natural wood furnishings and large windows. The designers from Bercy Chen Studio have managed to turn this classic American wood stud frame building into a dream home. [via Contemporist]
