This smart and beautiful geometric masterpiece was created by me, myself and my computer.  I present to you one of my prints which I tried really hard
to create from the bottom of my heart, imagination, and creativity.  I
wanted to create something that was completely unique and transcends the
fashion times aka. modern and classic at the same time.  I hope you love it, want it and buy many of them and share
them with your family and friends because I think it’s kind of cool and good
looking!
FYI it can be printed in any color of your choice.  Later
I’ll share the rest of my print line with you which is all awesome and unique,
but don’t hesitate, they’re coming soon!
My entire print line is officially copyrighted

And on another note, as everybody should know by now, Google Reader is closing
down for goods which leaves us with one great option to continue following our
favorite blogs, Blogloving.  Believe it or not, I was not a regular
Blogloving user, I actually never used it.  I just didn’t want to add another
Internet way of consuming my little free time left.  You know that thing
about living in the moment?  But this morning when I was transferring my Blogs
follower list I felt better than I was replacing instead of adding one more, so
thanks Google for the change because frankly, Bloglovin is kind of better
looking than your old Google reader.  I think!
Since this morning Belle Vivir
is actively live in Bloglovin in case you were worried about how to continue

It’s not new this trend of turban headbands but, it’s more and more popular every time. Especially during summer when ladies tend to leave their hair carelessly dry au naturale. There are two types of turbans, one that covers the full head, a closer interpretation of the Sikh turban and the turban headband which is the case in point here. I’m kind of like both styles. The first because it would be of great help in those days when I’m just too lazy to wash and style my hair and the last one for when I wash my hair but, want a fashion statement! How about you ladies, would you use a turban? I realized that a turban roundup would be a great idea for those who want to try them. After all a true fashionista must have fun trying on different trends and ideas. Enjoy!

For short haired ladies, a turban or headband could be great alternative for a quick and easy change of style.

It’s Earth day today!  This beautiful and made-to-be-perfect, even though not so much lately, place where we live has a real threat called Global Warming.  To help make a difference to GW, as in every other kind of change we want to see in the world, we should start with ourselves, in this case our homes.  If you have a private yard why not plant a tree?  Plant it on a special date or for a special cause and make it memorable, if you don’t have a private backyard then bring a tree inside the house.  Since the choice of the plant is only yours, I hope you can find among this suggestions a few ideas for planters.  Have green Earth day!

Sometimes art can make a room while many times it can also make a whole house. I can’t picture a home without it nor would I live in one without. We all know art implies many things from an elaborate sculpture to a simple figurine. But, in this case I’m referring to art wall. The one that is very personal and many times tells a story behind the artists creation or its discovery.  My Yaacov Agam painting that I found at The New York Antique Garage which my husband and I framed using the shell from another painting just the night before the photo shoot of our home.  That is a story that will always be linked to that painting and to my last minute anticipation.  Art can be anything many people say but, I think otherwise.  Wall art in a home could certainly make a room but can also break it.  The art that we select for our homes should bring with it the final note to the ambiance of the space, it should complete the room’s vision as it shows in each of these images.  In other words, it should become part of a new story: your home.  For affordable and good art I have posted here and here. Enjoy!

These unique and sporty pair of sandals by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy are to blame for this post. Love the creative gold chain adorning the rest of the sporty material and how that simple but brilliant detail makes these flat sandals so feminine and exclusive looking. Who said that a pair of comfortable and outdoorsy women sport sandals can’t be pretty as well? This roundup of flat sandals are for the comfort conscious lady who still wants to look good while walking in town. Enjoy!.
