There is the girl inside me who is fond of urban cities and there is the other one-I’m possibly bipolar- who is afraid one day will end up living in a big house in the middle of nowhere, planting roses, surrounded by wicker and chintz-covered deep comfy sofas. Maybe this is just a mere impulse encouraged by the deep happiness I experience every time I come across idyllic places like The Wardington Manor. Keep scrolling down and you will perfectly understand what I mean. I will forever live happily in the spectacular wood-paneled library.

Axel Vervoordt is one of the most acclaimed and recognized International Interior Designer. Many people are praising his latest featured project, Kim and Kanye’s home which is a rampant difference from Betty Gertz’s home in Dallas. I personally think that the rapper’s home is not the place I would like to raise children in. I humbly think that Axel Vervoordt’s best designs are those done before he turned so minimalist case in point, this inviting, and timeless home he designed for Betty Gertz featured back in 2015 in AD. Many of his best design elements can be seen throughout, especially the big Wabi-Sabi influence with the use of organic materials, quality craftsmanship and neutral muted tones.

I’ve been obsessed with Ulla Johnson’s clothes for a while now.  I love everything from the printed, ruffled dresses to the more globally inspired pieces.  I recently pre-ordered two pieces from her next Spring collection, and I can’t wait to wear them.  Architectural Digest features Ulla Johnson’s Brooklyn townhouse in the September issue, and the interior design embodies the brand’s chic bohemian style perfectly.  You can read and see more of Johnson’s light-filled townhouse at AD.  For now, I just decided to match some of her dresses and tops to her home.

While walking along the beach early last week, I noticed how far we’ve come.  Nobody is interested in following swimsuit rules anymore.  This is the time for eneryone to wear whatever pleases us.  Whether you came with a short supply of bottoms or have some excess on your hips, you are free to wear whatever you wish.  From high-rise bikini or maillots as well as one-piece swimsuits.  It really is about anything you like or prefer.
