You know the feeling -- you are looking at something else and BAAM! there is a picture or a teaser tagline that takes you to a FashionWeek or a Runway recap. No, you cannot resist it. So, you are there and you are mesmerized. Perhaps it is not exactly what you personally would you wear or buy but, 

Summer Time Dinning

Summer is in full swing and with all the time we are spending (or should be spending) outdoors a closer look to one's dinnerware is in order. After all you don't want to be serving an al fresco dinner in your old drab plates and cups from the late 80s, Right?

From the Fashion Runaways to Home Decor, Art Commercialism at its best

Remember the amazing Sophie Theallet Fall 2016 RTW collection from NYFW,  (well in case you don't, here is the link to my review of it). I continue to be obsessed with it, so as I was looking through my virtual clipboard for a new project, I realized that my obsession with the deeply feminine and uber classy style of her fall collection has somehow impacted my color palette preferences not for clothes but for furnishing and home decor. I am not that fond of either gray patterns or yellow shades, but live and learn as they say.

Happy Easter All!

Maps and Stars and Beautiful Faces: the art of Ed Fairburn

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying your weekend, at least what is left from it. It is beautiful here in Los Angeles and pretty much everyone is out and about -- except me. Yep, I am still tied up behind the computer -- too much still left to be done-- you know how it goes.

Project Decorate: Spanish Revivial in Five Easy Steps

If I had to pick a single interior design style that I cannot live without, it will definitively be Spanish revival. Maybe it is my Balkan upbringing and the need to find familiar in a new environment but my love affair with Spanish Revival started immediately when I first came to Los Angeles.

Easy Tricks for a Modern Bedroom Revamp

It seems inevitable that when we try to refresh or revamp our homes on a budget we always blow the meager amount we have dedicated to such endeavor on either the bathroom or the living room. My experience is that people tend to leave the bedroom untouched. Perhaps the rationele is that one does not spent much time there, so what's the rush. Ney, ney I say! You may not spent much of you awaken hours in the bedroom but boy! do you need a good and restful sleep. Think about the occasions you have spent in a luxury hotel.You can't wait to go to bed to enjoy that incredible looking fluffy inviting bed. And odds are that if you think about it, you probably would agree that the best night sleep you have ever had was is one such hotel bed. So here is how to completely remodel your bedroom on a budget and yet give it a luxurious modern sleek feel.

I am not big on pastels but this Parchment collection by Kenneth Cobonpue is fantastic.

I love tropical foliage and lush greens and jungle like greenery -- it is beautiful, exotic, and yes the more unruly, the better.

Futurism meets functionality: the Human Furniture Collection by Dzmitry Samal

I am truly fascinated by the“Human furniture collection” of Belorussian-born designer Dzmitry Samal. It is an amazing fusion of industrial style decor and classical sculpture. The clean and simple geometric shapes morphed with the sculptural beauty of a male human body creates a startling impression, to say the least.
