This lovely and whimsical light fixture by Australian artist Marc Pascall is so uplifting and fun. The poly carbonate orchid flower are hand-dyed by the master in multiple colorways. Available through Tabula Tua here.
If you are in a bad mood or having a hard time waking up, I highly recommend treating yourself to watching Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2010 Runway Show. Screaming with wild colors and flowing shapes, the collection is one of the most impressive ones I’ve seen in a long time. These flower bouquets fused with butterfly wings won’t leave a single soul uninspired. Personally, I can’t get enough of it…watched it 3 times already! Speechless.
Just a few of my favorites

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!

It’s raining…in LA! Really? This weather keeps us on the toes: last week it was unbearably hot, this week cold and raining. Well, I’m not complaining since finally it is perfectly justifiable to be cuddling under the blankets on the gray Monday morning (which is such a rarity here).
For the picture worthy experience, the only thing I’m missing is a fireplace. I wouldn’t mind any model form Focus Creation. By far the most stylish fireplaces and accessories I’ve seen so far.
