In 2007, Alessi released The Fruit Backet Family,  a range of products designed by Japanese architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA, and I think I'm in love. So now we need this + a place to live, you know the basics.

Anthropologie has these gorgeous rugs from Morocco. Can't wait to get rugs in Turkey. What else is good to buy in Istanbul or in Greece?

I think nothing gives a room more life than some fresh flowers or an exotic houseplant. My choice is a Bird's Nest fern since I don't have much room right now. If I had more space I would go for a potted tree like fiddle leaf fig. Yes I love horticulture.

Fujian's Jasmine Tea is delicious.

going to turkey next summer would like to get a rug like this

Tom Scott on Clinton St....tiny storefront giant knits. go.

via this is glamorous....an image from that last issue of domino that I quite like. In each issue they would take an outfit and create an interior space based on the outfit. This one is great. Light is essential in rooms, I have learned from not having windows in my living room :(

I haven't visited this little gem in Miami in a few years, but it always remains in my mind as the perfect beach shop. Tomas Maier's Miami Beach boutique is off the beaten path in an old Miami Beach home located in an area predominantly inhibited by tow trucks and photo studios. Here you can find Bottegas, Bikinis, and pretty much a finely curated stock of anything you might need for beachcombing with style. You can also find great books, cds, candles, and usually they have photo exhibit showing.
