can i spend my holiday here?

  • Posted 8th December 2011





this looks exactly like what i need to get over my seasonal stuffy nose and sore throat. a weekend trip to the warm and wildly colorful Saguaro Hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona! Apparently it is pretty new and was “inspired by the contemporary architecture of Mexico and the Arizona desert… designed around the color and light of the surrounding landscape.” sounds good to me!

i spent my thanksgiving holiday in atlanta and one of the things we did while there was visit the georgia aquarium. it was definitely and unforgettable experience. i felt like a little kid the entire time. some of the exhibits were typical of a zoo but i few were pretty mind blowing. i just kept thinking how crazy it is that nature created all of these amazing colors.

how cool is this place? the youth factory in Merida, Spain was built by a husband wife duo to help attract the restless, unemployed street youth and keep them off the streets by providing them with a place to skateboard, dance, climb rocks, create graffiti — whatever they would otherwise do in much more sinister surroundings. via the cool hunter.

just another reason why i need to get back to california asap. before march 25th to be exact. LACMAhas a new exhibition coming that is the first major study of California midcentury modern design. With more than 300 objects—furniture, ceramics, metalwork, fashion and textiles, and industrial and graphic design—the exhibition examines the state’s role in shaping the material culture of the entire country. amazing. but the MAIN reason i want to go, is because Charles and Ray Eames’ untouched living room has been relocated and reassembled, piece by piece, at LACMA for the exhibition!

futuremaps.

  • Posted 29th September 2011

have i mentioned my obsession with globes & world maps? well if not, i definitely have one, and when i was these colorful creations by these are things, i instantly fell in love. they have a cute little story about how they were actually searching for a modern map to document their travels and when they couldnt find one they decided to just make one themselves (how clever us designers can be) and a year later it has become their specialty! i need one immediately! although I am having trouble deciding on a color :)

fruute.

  • Posted 29th September 2011

my to visit in los angeles list is getting longer and longer everyday. the newest addition to the list is this new Los Angeles based pastry shop Fruute, who found their match made in sweet tooth heaven when they hired Ferro Concrete to brand their mouth watering bakery concept.

“We are like fruit matchmakers.” they said when speaking about their philosophy, but they seem to have matched a lot more than fruit to create these unforgettable pieces of food art. yum!

installation.

  • Posted 29th September 2011

German artist Martin Pfeifle’s art installations always relate to their environment, the exhibition space itself becomes his art piece while allowing viewers to move around it. During the last couple years, Martin has created some beautiful installations always playing with colors and geometric elements.

His latest ‘Rotemartha’ installation was installaed in the former imperial abbey of Aachen-Kornelimünster. It consists of a series of long tinted film strips in six different shades of red. The strips are tied together to create a supper long band that stretches throughout one entire floor of the abbey.

I would love to see this in person! The architecture of the room is beautiful itself, let alone being wrapped in hot pink!

  • Posted 27th September 2011

amazing collages by swedish jewelry design studen George Chamoun. the idea was to work with movie icons from two different eras. The project combines several themes and concepts such as ideals, anatomy and Hollywood patterns against the factor of time. According to Chamoun, his intention was not to make comparisons of any sort, but rather to emphasize the structural aspect as well as the existent similarities, in spite of the era. interesting.

so i was browsing pinterest the other night and i came across this beautiful shot of a waterfall and glowing blue-green swimming hole. i automatically assume it is in some super exotic location, but immediately repin it anyway. i decide to check out where the image is from and discover that it is actually in arizona at the base of the grand canyon! i immediately start plotting to visit this place and find out you must first hike 10 miles in the sun down to the bottom (or you can charter a helicopter or ride a donkey) and then you are free to swim in the pool and then spend the night in the canyon or hike ten miles back out. hmmm. so i go tell the boy “we have to go to this place its amazing! la la la” and he asks to see the picture, so I show him and he is like, “oh my nephew when there when he was in arizona” haha for some reason this annoyed me because i always like being the first to visit a place and then go tell everyone about it but nonetheless he agreed and now we are going :)

Gypset Style: Jetset + Gypsy = Gypset, is about an emberging group of artists, musicians, fashion designers, surfers, and bon vivants– who lead semi-nomadic, unconventional lives. order here or visit the website here.

the Pulp Art Book– “Neil Krug’s stylized photos of his girlfriend [now wife], the model Joni Harbeck, were taken with Polaroid film years past its sell-by date. They have the kind of grainy, sun-scorched feel of a Sergio Leone spaghetti western. And ever since the couple began posting the photos on Flickr early this year, they’ve drawn a blaze of attention.” – The New York Times.

i am completely obsessed with this amazing lifestyle blog I came across a few weeks ago. the website is called “an afternoon with..” and is described as “a project about people. It is a project about our space and the things we keep and the things we don’t throw away. It is a project about looking for and finding connections we all have. It is about seeing yourself in these spaces.  Every picture is a portrait of the owner –  be it a room, an object or a view. Every portrait in the end becomes a self-portrait.”

i would love to see this one day. the silent evolution, by jason decaires taylor, is only one of many differnt underwater sculptures spread throughout the ocean.

“Taylor’s interventions explore the intricate relationships that exist between art and environment. His works become artificial reefs, attracting marine life, while offering the viewer privileged temporal encounters, as the shifting sand of the ocean floor, and the works change from moment to moment.”

whale.

  • Posted 29th May 2011

The Loneliest Whale in the World. In 2004, The New York Times wrote an article about the loneliest whale in the world. Scientists have been tracking her since 1992 and they discovered the problem: She isn’t like any other baleen whale. Unlike all other whales, she doesn’t have friends. She doesn’t have a family. She doesn’t belong to any tribe, pack or gang. She doesn’t have a lover. She never had one. Her songs come in groups of two to six calls, lasting for five to six seconds each. But her voice is unlike any other baleen whale. It is unique—while the rest of her kind communicate between 12 and 25hz, she sings at 52hz. You see, that’s precisely the problem. No other whales can hear her. Every one of her desperate calls to communicate remains unanswered. Each cry ignored. And, with every lonely song, she becomes sadder and more frustrated, her notes going deeper in despair as the years go by. Just imagine that massive mammal, floating alone and singing—too big to connect with any of the beings it passes, feeling paradoxically small in the vast stretches of empty, open ocean.

I am absolutely smitten with this house tour from refinery29. i struggled not to show every picture, you will have to go check out the original for the full set, as well as the interview.

the entire house works together, you can easily see how the palette flows from one room right into the next, reinventing itself along the way.

i am obsessed with this color palette; it reminds me of jcrew. styled by caroline van oel, and photographed by sander van den dosch, the neon colors sparkle against the stark neutral surroundings. i love the quiet simplicity of each image, i feel as if just beyond each setting there is music  and action happening and the photographer just captured a brief moment..

while the exterior may appear to be opaque and aubergine in color, the inside, which visitors are welcome to enter, is a translucent cherry red.

Having started her Blog in New York city writing about her style musings and her science fiction love for Galactic Battle Stars and robotics she surely likes to indulge herself in a dreamy world of silky pastels, tutu’s, glitters and bows but this urban fairy is not afraid to pair the pretty with the rough.
