Swedish Design

Sköna Hem, the Swedish design magazine, is filled with magnificent inspiration for home interior fashion. I love the clean, freshness of all Swedish design and I'd like to think that translates into simple, luxe living. The online version of the magazine is entirely in Swedish, and even though I understand less than 2%, it allows me to focus just on the pictures and design elements.

Eco Clothing

In honour of Earth Day, April 22, I found some beautiful eco clothing that doesn't compromise style for the environment.

This necklace by Alkemie is made from 100% recycled metal- perfect for every day.


Stewart & Brown Oona Pocket Tunic


Tote bag made from recycled sails by Red Flag


I think I may love the bike most in the picture but this Doie Montecito rouched dress isn't too bad either!

Valentino: The Last Emperor

I recently watched Valentino: The Last Emperor with some friends. I loved his story, his work ethic and dedication to long time design partner Giancarlo Giammetti. Just being able to witness his devotion to the beauty of women and his creative journey was inspiring. I've since found this collector's item book, though at $1800 I think I would rather buy the $70 version and save my pennies for a Valentino purse!
