fall dress code 28 October, 2010

Another busy day here so to brighten it up lets play grown-up dress up. I love all of the fall trends: neutral chiffon blouses, plaids, deep purples and burgundies, leather and metallic accents. Here’s my dream outfit this fall, a busy girl would totally be more happy to run around town all pretty like this. What do you think?

rhode island wedding 27 October, 2010

Rhode Island was my first glimpse of America 6 years ago when I came visiting with my friends for the summer. So when I saw the coverage of this all-girls-dreamy wedding in RI, I had somewhat nostalgic feelings. With an amazing scenery of bays and ocean views, RI was THE place to be during the Gilded Age of the late 19th century. And with all of the newly born New York aristocracy flocking in, there has been some magnificent architectural pieces created which we can marvel at today.

Ocean House is the one of those and is a perfect back-drop for the most special day.

I love how stylists from TRUE Event incorporated the color palette of the building into the wedding decor, it looks so effortlessly chic and natural.  Deep turquoise and citrusy yellow are so fresh and vivid together. Click here to read the full story behind this day.

all play, no work 15 October, 2010

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! <images via www.cinqcinqdesigners.com>

refreshing art 13 October, 2010

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?
