TREND ALERT!

Here is an oldie but goody...Military is back and better than ever!

This is not an ode to army fatigues and heavily adorned jackets.  This season, the Military trend is more Paul Revere. 

To hit this trend on the head, looks for structured fits, belts and buckles not bells and whistles.

Go ahead on jump on the band wagon!

My Secret Childhood Dream!

So, I haven't blogged in a while and after looking for my posts, I noticed my blog has been a  little bit more fashion than form.  I had the whole idea to do some amazing home...but during my research, I found something even better...a doll house!

Ahalife.com has the most AMAZING product...a modern doll house.  When I was a child, I had the stereotypical Victorian styled doll house (which never made it out of the box).  It was always they plan to put it together...but we never got around to it.  

Although I am nowhere near having a child, I imagine that when I have a little mini me...this is the house we will be constructing in our family room!!

This has just inspired me to design my own model...i mean, doll house.  It would be the perfect time to brush up on my model making skills.  

I hope it inspires you in some way!

Enjoy!

POWER COUPLES! CHARLES & RAY EAMES

We are use to hearing about these power couples, two people who join forces creating a force so strong, no one can stop them.  Most people think of Jay Z & Beyonce' but even these two have nothing on CHARLES & RAY EAMES.

These two could not be more compatible if they were designed that way.  He was a talented architect, she was an amazing artist.  With both of their strengths, they created the most amazing modern designs.

These two were at the for front of pre-fabrication and made many innovations in material usage, such as plywood.

 

Check out their collection of chairs, many which were produced by Herman Miller and their personal home, often known as Case Study, which was constructed by all prefabricated materials.

TREND ALERT!!!

FALL TREND ALERT!!!

As we know, what was once old is new again.  This fall could not be further from the truth!  These season, the fall fashion calls for all things BAROQUE!!! What is Baroque you say? 

Baroque is a period of artistic style that used exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur in sculpture, painting, architecture, literature, dance, and music. The style started around 1600 in Rome, Italy and spread to most of Europe.

What does this mean for fashion?

It means everything is a little over the top! Can't decide which necklace to wear?  Don't worry, this trend lets you wear it all at the same time!

Check out today's post of what is gonna be the beginning of a great fall!

Enjoy!
