dream home.

Hi! Can you believe it's already the middle of the week? I cannot.

I've really wanted to focus the blog more on design, and today I'm kicking it off. I've fallen in love with the stunning home of  David and Yuge Bromley in Byron Bay, Australia. I discovered this magical place on a Down Under site The Design Files.

An artist husband + a fashion designer wife x co-owners of their own store = a completely amaze-balls pad. Of course. I love how the home itself is a work of art. A fearless mix of bold colors and patterns sets the backdrop for a feast of paintings, sculptures and eclectic furniture. It's boho without the clutter, a wild ride of unruly details that creates is own order. I especially love the hand painted linen quilts.  (Via The Design Files by Lucy Feagins.)

And here's a few more things to love today:

This bag. If you'd like to pick it up for me, I would not object.

This book. A Russian detective novel with a sci-fi twist? Um, yes.

And this painting.

That's all for now. I'll be back tomorrow with more to love, xoL

friday.

Hello! And happy Friday. I found a couple of events I would LOVE to attend tonight, but alas, I am spending the entire day being infused with all kinds of chemotherapy. However, that doesn't mean you can't check out these fabulous shows. 

REDCAT kicks off a new exhibition called Apotomē by artists Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla with an artist talk and performance. I can't possibly do this justice by trying to explain, so just click here to check it out. It amazes me where the human mind can go.

If something musical is more your speed, head on over to the Norton Simon Museum for their Summer Music Series. It's free with the price of museum admission, and the concerts are fantastic--listening to classical music surrounded by some of history's greatest works of art. Tomorrow night, cellist Maksim Velichkin plays pieces by Hans Werner Henze, Gaspar Cassadó and Los Angeles 21st composer George N. Gianopoulos.

Seriously, I have been to one of these before, and it is so so so so cool. Stroll the gardens, check out the Matisses and Van Goghs, chill with some music--and then head out to dinner.

And here are a few more discoveries for you to enjoy:

The photography of Saul Leiter, who died just last year.

The whimsical print dresses of designer Peter Jensen.

Pops of red all around Paris. I want to go back!

That's all for Friday. I will see you soon.
