dream home

images and all info from NY Times, shown to me by dear friend Rach ;)

Complete with a chicken coop and fresh honey from the beehive. Contemporary yet soulfully filled mid century interiors void of sterilization (aka not something you'd see outta DWR), my dream home sit atop Little Italy making the mesmerizing NYC to an absolute fairy tale ... maybe one day ... maybe not ... at least I have my dreams

This week was the beginning of my night classes at the local city college hence why I haven't posted with such frequency, soso sorry. On Tuesday, I attended what I thought was going to be 3D Design Drawing but turned out to be simply 3D Design class. At first I was a little skeptical mainly because of the intense attendance policy but I've settled with excitement that it's not just another drawing course. Through the semester we will be using a variety of mediums to create 3D art. Our first medium: Paper.

Via our first lesson, I learned to Peter Callesen. His work is world renowned so I feel that many people may already be aware of who he is, however it's my first introduction.



Most of his work simply uses A4 paper which is in between letter and legal. With the most simple medium, he's been able to transform paper something we can all relate to into something magical. His themes are laced with romanticism and tragedy, givin you that "ah-huh" and "how the hell did you do that" sensation. What's even more amazing and not to mention sustainable he only uses the paper that he cuts out for the shadow to construct his 3D forms. Pretty cool, huh?

Anyways, thanks for reading. I'm new to this blog world and love receiving all your feedback and the flattery that comes with ;)

much love and until next time,

Martha Davis is to die for...

I was tempted to post all of her SS10, but didn't want to overwhelm visually, check her collection out here

Relatively new to the fashion scene but no stranger to good design & the importance of quality construction Made in Italy at the same factories of Cholé and Chanel & Martha is a former industrial designer. Martha Davis never fails to twist contemporary styles into timeless treasures that make you feel elegant and fly simultaneously. Most definitely a designer to watch, so take a look now and keep your ears to the street, you'll be hearing about her soon.

much love,

RIP I.D.

RIP I.D.

ugh, this is so sad.

Added to the casualty list of 2009: I.D. magazine. A publication that has inspired so many including myself. The mag came up in conversation at last night's bday/dinner party. Their design review deadline was at midnight and a friend-of-a-friend's project was taking a while to upload for entrance so he had to leave early. It all spawned the praise by the party-goers of those great venues that reach out to the aspiring.

I guess this whole blog thing is bittersweetness. It's enabled anyone with discipline to share thoughts but in transition has killed some material romanticism... But you can't place blame on anything this year, it's been a crazy ride and I can't wait for 2010. I have one of those tummy-pleasing-sweet-in-the-back-of-the-throat type of feelings. I guess we'll see.
Anyways, RIP I.D. You'll be missed.

keds x opening ceremony

keds x opening ceremony

Grandma Audrey gave me my first pair of keds. They were purple vinyl?... i think...  definitely purple though. Anyways, long story short, keds are an all time classic and oh so comfy. 

Right now, everyone seems to be creating their own rendition or collabing with the classic company. I just got a glance at these Opening Ceremony pony hair edition and thought they were pretty fly. I might just have to update my black canvas ones -- lord knows I need to with all those scuff marks.

much love,
