kinfolk magazine

January 30th, 2012




i hope everyone had a lovely weekend. we had absolutely beautiful weather here in san francisco, very strange for the middle of winter! we made the most of our vitamin d dose and drove through the redwoods, up the coast, stopping along the way to check out cool towns, farm stands and pretty nurseries, it was wonderful!

what did you get up to in your part of the world?

so, i finally read my copy of kinfolk magazine (volume 2), and i now know what all the rave’s about!

kinfolk’s humble aesthetic had already drawn me in but it wasn’t until i started reading the heartfelt articles, did i truly appreciate this wonderful magazine.

the featured authors, write poetically about our relationship with food and how important it is to embrace each season with all it’s glory and gifts.

issue two being based around winter, really tunes you in those warm comfortable moments, nostalgic moments and how vital is it to rely on the bond over food with loved  ones.

you can’t help but feel calm and content while reading. the writers describe their stories so beautifully, you can picture yourself in each scenario. it really is quite wonderful. not only was i taken back by the various talented authors, the photography is gorgeous! the imagery feels raw and familiar, helping to create that warm welcome you feel as soon as you open up the pages.

joe’s house

lovely isn’t it? and what a magnificent location! this little cabin is located on an island off the south west coast of british columbia, canada. vancouver based architecture firm osburn/clarke designed a number of these small retreats around the same island.

the cabin itself is only 500 sq. ft. but with sliding walls leading to the outside and connecting outdoor spaces you can’t really go wrong. i wouldn’t mind waking up here at all!     source

elie saab couture spring summer ’12

January 27th, 2012




elie saab’s haute couture collection for spring, summer 2012 is completely drool worthy! well, every one of his collections are pretty much drool worthy, i can only dream of wearing one of his dresses one day.

i find myself watching his online shows over and over again. it’s quite magical to observe how the lighting reflects off the dresses, highlighting the incredible detail as they gracefully float down the runway.

this line oozes elegance and sensuality in a way other designers find hard to capture, elie’s dresses take my breath away, he is most definitely a true artist!  source
