It’s gloomy in LA today but at least the weather helps to get into “get-things-done” mode. It’s so much harder with bright sun shine luring you outdoors. My to-do list made me think of the stunning Brit stylist Twig Hutchinson who made the house chores look so incredibly chic.
Which in its turn made me remember that all the real pleasures in life lay in the simple moments like this. And if you go through the day with the happy smile and appreciation for what you’ve got, it makes it so much easier. Enjoy your weekend whatever it holds in store for you.

As I’m on my continuous streak of studying for my Thesis, it’s all work and no play here. But how fun would it be to be surrounded by play. Literary! With the Games Wallpapers from Parisian design group 5.5 Designers any room can become playground.
Can you imagine how perfect it is for the boring dentist waiting rooms or kids’ rooms! So engaging!

After an exhausting day yesterday of 10-hour computer staring, I have another one coming today. How exciting, right?! I wish I could flock away to the city streets in these beauties by Balenciaga. A girl can dream…

Flipping through the pages of the latest Lonny mag, I came across this miraculous technological solution for the jaded problem of all designers – how to hide the AC. Genius LG developed the new series of AC/Heat Pumps split system called Art Cool, so that the whole unit is hidden behind your favorite print or art. Genius!
Check out Art Cool in Dexter’s kitchen designed by Jeff Andrews.
Anyone had any experience with this gizmo? I’m dieing to hear reviews/comments?

Today exactly 3 years ago I married the most amazing man on earth (sorry to break it down to you, single ladies, but yes – he’s already taken:) and those 3 years were the most blessed years of my life. I cant’ thank the God enough for bringing us together from across the planet. Seriously, what were the chances for a guy from Los Angeles to meet a gal from Shadrinsk? But here we are, honey, and I can’t cherish enough every second spent with you. You really make me a better person and I’m looking forward to spending the rest of my life in our arms. I love you!
To celebrate the anniversary we set up the shoot with tremendously talented photographer and my dear friend Jenn Hoffman. Jenn did an amazing job capturing us as we are as well as luscious Downtown LA architecture (which, as you understand, was very important for me). Jenn is the best and can’t recommend her enough. Check our her site and prepare to be impressed!
And now, you guys get the first sneak peek of out shoot!
