butterflies & honey

 

I have been following the work of yoshiaki takao for a while now. He {amongst a handful of other projects} happens to be bringing some freshness and wit to the rather dull midtown neighborhood of Lex & 63rd at tea + honey.

I am never dissapointed with his installations but this one really resonates with me right now (currently up). It evokes the awakening of spring and the hope that we all carry in our thoughts right now for the people of Japan.

  Voici maintenant quelques mois que je documente le travail de yoshi takao. Il apporte à chaque changement de vitrines une fraîcheur et une imagination qui ravive la grisaille de ce quartier un peu tristounet du midtown de Manhattan.

Sa créativité et ses idées me renvoient toujours un sourir.

 

berber story

 

I am dreaming about a destination like the Sahara desert right now. This happens to me every year without fail at the end of the winter. it's silly.

Berber poufs avaialble at ABC carpet & home. Woven by artisan women in the Atlas mountains of Morroco.

So wanted!

 

 

Envie d'un voyage au pays des contes des milles et unes nuits... ca ne râte pas, à chaque fin d'hiver, ca me prends ces histoires.

Alors quand en plus j'ai posé les yeux sur ces poufs berbères, j'ai immédiatement craqué! suffit simplement de repenser la déco autour.

Et voilà, suis déjà en voyage!

 

 

A tribute, to 5 iconic women.

Flawless style, timeless beauty.

real simple

 

The sophisticated and somehow refined aesthetic of Zara's new lookbook. I am seduced by the styling in these shots: the pink lips, the sleek hair pulled back, the simplicity of the oufits and minimal color stories.

Very efficient.

 

 

 

  

 

 

La nouvelle collection Zara.

J'aime beaucoup la simplicité de leur campagne et le styling de ce catalogue. A visiter ici.

 

 

stable style

 

There are a lot of things i am unsure of in life. A lot.

I have been trying to visualize what would be my perfect home for a while now. With a million options and ideas it is so easy to change your mind and go in hundred directions. But as i refine my style and focus, there is one thing i am sure of: I would want barn doors. Inside the home.

I can almost hear the sound of the rolling wheels fading away in a sigh as i stare in a gaze over these pictures.

Lucky, lucky are these home owners!

 

 

 

S'il y a un élément dont je suis sûre de vouloir dans la maison de mes rêves, c'est une porte de grange (ou d'écurie?) à l'intérieur même de la maison.

Le détail qui tue.

J'aime ces intérieurs tout mansardés.

Quel comfort, quelle sensation d'espace, quel style!
