Season of changes..

On my way to work every day I pass by a particular tree. Now I’m not sure what kind it is, but I do know that it’s changing. I first noticed it when just the enveloping leaves started to transform. Every day a few more patches of red appear as if by magic. Interestingly enough it’s turning back into what it actually is, a vivid crimson. It’s almost fully transformed today and it makes me happy.

Newest creations...

My newest attraction is metallics, and as always linear forms. The most recent creation is the first in the series. This was inspired by music obviously. More specifically music with minor tonality; they always seem to sound sorrowful, but with distant hope...

Ode to the great guitar1

Inspired by the versatility and greatness the guitar has to offer, I wanted to create a list of some of the greatest ones. This is only the top few from a friend. This will likely be the beginning of a series. Hopefully you'll be inspired too. Enjoy!

Whoever says covers aren't as good, obviously has never heard this...

Put Sufjan Stevens on...

Open Your Eyes

"The eye speaks with an eloquence and truthfulness surpassing speech. It is the window out of which the winged thoughts often fly unwittingly. It is the tiny magic mirror on whose crystal surface the moods of feeling fitfully play, like the sunlight and shadow on a still stream." Henry Theodore Tuckerman

......but let the music speak for itself.

Vogue picks

Today, I was happy to find waiting in my mailbox, an oversized Vogue spilling out of the tiny container. In every Vogue issue, I ripe out pages that inspire me or things I like. Sometimes I can't quite place why I like it, but I know that I want to continue looking at it so I keep it.

Although this first image isn't taken from the issue, it's still reflects my style perfectly!...although I'd match the shoes with the woman next to her with the outfit.

Even those this is an ad, I love the outfit because it shows a great play on texture. The silky smoothness of the dress paired with the plush fur and hard lines from the chunky necklaces create an interesting combination.

I would love to wear both these outfits. It's not just the outfits but the photography and scene that make me enjoy it so much. The one on the right is Valentino Couture organza dress with lacquered lace and awesome satin pumps. The left image is Giorgio Armani Prive animalier-motif lame-and-silk-jaquard cardigan and skirt with hand-embroidered silk ribbons.

Listen and let go

Introduction

I stared my career in interior design four years ago as a bright-eyed freshman in college. I've now reached the point where that chapter of my life is ending and I'm venturing off into the "real world" excited (and scared as hell). Part of my design philosophy says, "Design begins with education and past experiences.." without those I wouldn't be who I am today.
I like to not just think of myself as an interior designer, but a designer as a whole. I'm inspired by so many things - the drape of a dress, the sparkle of a diamond on a woman's neck, the plasterwork of a fireplace, you name it. Color, patterns, textures, lines and forms...design is all around, a part of everyday life...my life. And I'd like to share it in this blog...inspired.
