Slip on it

It’s nice to dress up and look very much like a lady, but it gets to a bit too comic to be running in high heels while trying to catch a flight, walking up subway stairs, grocery shopping and well you get the point. And trust me I’ve seen a bunch. Many days all we want is to slip on a pair of comfy shoes and hit the road contentedly and chic. The extra inch or two doesn’t hurt women’s vanity either. Enjoy!

For the home: A Planters Roundup

Bronze planters, Rams head terracotta planter, Black faceted planter, Tin and Twine planter, Nickel planter, hand painted metal planter, White square planter, Case study planter, column planters ,

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!

Fashion trends: Sculptural Fashion

Trends come and go and if you don’t have a very open mind and have a fashion perspective, the first thought at any new trend could be daunting. One that perhaps is easier to adapt to is the one with sculptural and/or Geometry shapes since its one that doesn’t need much color to be striking. Either worn in a futuristic-minimalistic way or in a bold-colorful way the structural shapes stand by itself. Enjoy!

For the home: Good design in the hood

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,

Let’s hear it for the retail stores who are always creating better and more affordable design for the savvy and smart customers who want only the best in their homes but, perhaps don’t want to pay a higher price tag for custom furniture. A mixture of high and low furniture is ideal to create a more real and lived-in home so leave it to smarter chain stores to offer us better options on mass production. Here is a list of my latest favorites in home furnishing available today. Enjoy!

These unique and sporty pair of sandals by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy are to blame for this post.

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!.

For the home: Side Tables roundup

Our homes will never be really ours unless each piece reflects our taste and lifestyle. Magazines are great for sources, inspirations, and knowledge but if we pick everything in our homes based on the magazines we look at, then our places are going to be nothing else but a recollection of trends. Of course our choices will depend on our budgets as well; however, it’s better to build our homes slowly over time and invest on pieces that we genuinely love and are willing to live with for a long time. Since long gone are the days when rooms looked like period rooms, small pieces such as side tables are a great way to incorporate interest and individuality in our homes. Here is an excellent shopping suggestion of an eclectic selection of side tables of all styles for your delight. Enjoy!
