RATTAN

Came across an interesting blurb on one of my favorite sites (The Socialite Family) called The Return of Rattan Cane and it immediately brought me back to my childhood. Growing-up we had two rocking chairs with rattan weaving on the seat and the back rest. While researching, I found the most gorgeous rattan furniture. I hope you enjoy the below pieces as much as I do.

JOHANNA ORTIZ

While perusing the internet I came across the brilliant designs of Colombian designer, Johanna Ortiz. I absolutely adore the structured ruffles that seem to be her signature. I want to own every single one of her pieces and feel like the Colombian Goddess I always wanted to be. Kidding, I am not even a Latina but seriously…this collection is timeless, luxurious and ultra feminine. Bravo Johanna!

This striped top is to die for. This top would look stellar worn in the S. of France or Greece.

PATINA FARM

Where does the time go?!? I haven’t blogged in a few weeks but I ‘ve come back with a beautiful treat…photos of the gorgeous Patina Farm. It’s the home of Architect Steve and Interior Designer Brooke Giannetti in California’s Ojai Valley. They first  bought the land and together designed the home. Though the house is large it is so well designed that it seems homey with a touch of Europe throughout. They also have the cutest donkeys and goats!

KELLY KLEIN- FLORIDA HOME

I am currently vacationing in sunny Florida and wanted to share a little bit of good old sunshine design with you all! I have always admired photographer/ex-equestrian Kelly Klein’s home in Palm Beach and wanted to share it with you. It was featured in Architectural Digest a few years ago, its minimally designed, rich in woods and with an abundance of light.

BURNT

I had been meaning to watch the movie ‘Burnt’ starring Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller for a while. I finally had the opportunity to watch it during the blizzard we had this past weekend. It’s about chef Adam Jones, who ruined his career with drugs and alcohol. To redeem himself he returns to London to open a restaurant and gain three Michelin stars. I enjoyed it. If you end up watching it let me know what you think.
