New York Stroll: Windows at Bergdorf

Bergdof Goodman has one the best windows displays I've ever seen, so it's always a delight to go drooling over them for a while.


They're original...

...dramatic...


and very detailed.

A lot of people stopped to stare at the beautiful window displays and to take pictures, just like I did!
Hope you enjoy it!

Polka dots everywhere!

After reading this wonderful post from Oh!Joy , I just keep seeing polka-dots walls everywhere!



Polka dots at Juicy Couture..
And then, browsing a magazine..guess what? Yes, more polka-dots!

By Kate Spade, of course. ( I love her red thighs!)
p.s. More polka dots from Oh!Joy: polka dot trash bag art installation! Love it!

Yiorgos Kordakis



"I often like to imagine the way our world looks from high above, from the sky, from a “perch” among the clouds..."

I'm obssessing over greek photographer Yiorgos Kordakis. His photographs have an ethereal quality that is hard to resist. You can see more here.
Enjoy!

Ice cream: Yummy




Fun and adorable packaging design for kids ice cream. Designed by design student Joao Ricardo Machado.
Happy Monday, everyone!

West Village+ Coffee+Twilight

Almost every Tuesday, I hop on the train and go to Manhattan. I specially like to walk around The Village. With its tweaked little streets, sometimes you get lost and you end up discovering a nice little restaurant or a lovely boutique.

So this Tuesday, I went and wandered around and snapped a few pictures here and there. I love looking up at the windows and wonder who lives there. (Not in a creepy-voyeur way, of course!).











After all that walking, I sat for a while, had my vanilla soy latte and read New Moon, again, for the millionth time. Nice way to end my day.

All pictures taken by me. Location: West Village, NY.

Flower Design




How amazing are these flower arrangements by Ovando? Inspired by the principles of modern Mexican architecture, the compositions are simple, elegant and utterly original.

I heart pigs

Cute pig earrings by Francesca Sibylla Augusta. Red gold and black diamonds, and a price tag of £2,320 (!!!). Pretty nice.

An Icon


I went to Washington D.C last weekend, and I visited the Arlington National Cemetery, where Jackie Kennedy Onassis is buried, next to John F. Kennedy.
She was such an elegant lady, and she's remembered for her beauty, intelligence and refined taste. I like looking at pictures during her White House time, when she was dressed by genius French designer Oleg Cassini.

Like this one, in India, 1962

However, I love her style post-White House.


Awesome, right?
