Drifting Away

“… and both of them remained floating in an empty universe where the only everyday and eternal reality was love…”

~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

God Is In The Details

 

In most successful spaces, you don’t see everything at once. The more time you spend on them the more you discover. They open up like flowers… Much like this beautiful home that I stumbled upon at mixr.se

Sigh, I’m in love. It’s the simple things in this house that get me.

Monday Morning Inspiration

“ The sad thing about life is that dreams are usually so cookie-cutter perfect, that people just settle for the closest things to them. They don’t believe in the existence and the sheer possibilities of their own desires.”

~ Runaway, Trina Dela Rama .

May you have the best of all that you dream of this week… xo.

Hello Yeojin Bae

Today I’m loving these sharp and sophisticated outfits from Yeojin Bae’s Summer 2011 collection.

How simple yet fresh is Bae’s palette of colours. Persimmon and chocolate brown mixed with petrol blue and minimalist white, this is colour blocking at its best! Don’t you agree?

p.s. Due to some blogger bug I haven’t been able to leave comments on so many blogs since over a month. If you have the name/url option enabled in the Comment section of your blog I have left you comments through that. But some of your blogs don’t have that feature as well.

To name a few: Bluebird notes, Bringing Pretty Back, Art House Design, La Cabeza de Mari Antoneita, Dreams Don’t Turn To Dust, Mademoiselle Mermaid… if you don’t see me commenting on your posts this is the reason why. If any of you has a solution for this, please guide me through it.

Hello Yellow

I admit. I’m greedy when it comes to yellow. I can’t help but go against my usual fashion philosophy of less being more and tend to get carried away.

If you’re anything like me then you’ll love this shoot titled ‘Rush Hour’ by Olivia Graham for Glamour UK.

Less Is More

My personal interior style is continuously evolving, at times I find myself leaning towards bright splashes of colours, and then the minimalistic inside me quickly resurfaces.

But ever since I stumbled upon Alexandra Angle’s website, all my whims and fancies have been well catered to. Today, I’m all about the less is more design philosophy like this classic Fifth Avenue home below.

What style of interiors are you currently smitten with?
