Let's go downtown and watch the modern kids

I just came a little in my pants.

After I dried myself off I immediately bought the top print.

The posters were designed in collaboration between Ben LaFond of Burlesque Design

and Dan Black of Landland

FLOR

I went to FLOR's Store Opening Reception last night. Can I tell you how much I love this stuff?

I'll spare you. But I am going back this weekend to pick me up some squares.

Yep, its NeoCon again. It ranks as one of my favorite times of year for free parties all week long. Right up there with the Holidays. Sadly, this year I am just not into the mood. Perhaps it's the drab weather getting me down. That, or the fact that my party partner in crime is now, infact, an ex-partner in crime. Either way, not in the mood. I might however stop by the Guerrilla Truck show at Morlen Sinoway Atelier on my way home. Perhaps...and depending on the pending rain.

Bringing The Outdoors Inside

I've been a little slow on posts lately and for that I apologize. But today I have something to post that I am so excited about. I have fallen madly in love with Camilla Meijer. Her collection of prints including lampshades, pillows and wallpaper make me swoon. And I love her approach to design. She's currently at the ICFF, International Contemporary Furniture Fair through tomorrow. So if you are in New York, check her out.

"I love nature and I am astounded by the way plants and flowers find a way to flourish in such an enormous urban setting like London...I capture these images I see around me and use them to create my work...I want to welcome people into a world of colour and visual texture that caresses the eye and speaks to the heart."

the color of love

I was over at Elle Decor and saw this house by Ron Woodson+Jamie Rummerfield.

I love their work and love this home even more.
Such an inspiration

Done and Done.
