snow. hey oh.

in between the cover of another perfect wonder
where it's so white as snow
-red hot chili peppers

on my way to work this morning i saw my first sign of snow. sure it was only a little flurry, but still. it was snow, nonetheless. wishing you a winter as cozy and warm as this chair.

letters can personalize any wall or bookcase. vintage framed letter prints, three dimensional wooden block letters or boldly patterned cushioned letters can transform any wall. whether you want to spell out your name, initialize your wall, or create an ironic statement, the options are endless.

baby's black balloon makes her fly

one of my best friend's celebrated her birthday yesterday. it got me thinking about the traditional celebratory elements of a birthday-- cake, presents, candles... and the most iconic decoration, balloons.

balloons are so festive and colorful, most commonly associated with children. so i decided to do some research and see the balloon in a higher art form. here's an artist spin on the balloon.

stick this in your pipe.

one of the hottest trends right now is to use contrast piping on your upholstery. it's a chic way of adding an element to funk up your piece. now, this can be slightly subtle or extremely loud, pending on the fabric or leather you choose, as well as the color combinations.

call me a surfer because i am currently riding the swedish hipster wave. first there was robyn, then came likke li, and now i'm hooked on rebecca & fiona. aside from always looking absolutely fabulous and dressing with fantastic style, they have a refreshing sound that's part house part sexy dreamlike sequence.

when in rome... or cabo.

i got my toes in the water
ass in the sand
not a worry in the world
a cold beer in my hand
life is good today

i can't seem to shake my mexican adventure. perhaps when my tan fades, so will my desire for those cabo sunsets. but until then, i will continue to be inspired by the mexican culture. their interiors are bright and breezy. color, color, color. using elements from the blue and green sea to the orange and yellow sand. tiles, terracotta, porcelain, sculptures, rattan.

there's a sleepy town, lies south of the border
you go there once, you'l be there twice
-van halen

warm days and chilly nights. encompassing mountains and sprawling desert land. salty ocean air and a shot of the tastiest tequila. oh cabo, mother nature has never looked this good. i can't say it enough, me encanta cabo.

i had the pleasure of dining at pedregal's newest hotel, capella. what a magnificent hotel with an even more extraordinary location. built into the mountain, the hotel dramatically greets you with an excavated tunnel, lit with suspended lanterns. from there, you are welcomed into world unto its own.
