i just had to share this. i saw it when i got home this evening + was finally able to catch up on things that aren’t design-related/work-related. lara makes me happy because i think she’s quite amazing not to mention the great group of girls she surrounds herself with. i’m super excited (+ even more nervous) for her ‘making things happen workshop‘ in la in october! will any of you be there? .

i admit there’s a lot of regretsy @ etsy + i don’t purchase as much as i used to on the site. times really have changed when i think of etsy but there are still some hidden gems there. it’s really amazing to me just how many talented + creative people there are all over the world + some of them still sell on etsy! it can be daunting if you are looking for something specific (wedding items anyone?) because there’s a lot of pure junk to wade through (not to mention not really vintage nor handmade). when i’m just looking at my feed or looking at the items people in my circle have liked i’ll still sometimes find the coolest things that are quite inspiring. i’m also a sucker for a wad of color…
another extremely busy week went by in a snap — this one was filled with some great lectures from the lcdq legends event, a bit of catching up with some old friends + a VERY fun photo shoot for my windows at decorative carpets! i can’t wait to see the final shots from sam frost, he is amazing!
my favorite lecture from the lcdq legends event was on architecture + design in cuba. traveling is one of my favorite things to do + since i’m not able to do it nearly as much as i’d like the next best thing for me is to hear other’s stories + to see their journey. i’m a sucker for a good travel + history lecture. seeing all of the lush, intense colors + gorgeous designs while hearing the stories on cuba was simply inspiring!
cuba sounds like an amazing, intense place + it’s definitely on my list of places to visit. it’s so amazing to think that cuba has all of the design styles from the past 500 years on its island + things have been left untouched for the past 50 years (thanks to living under a communist regime…). one of the panelists on this lecture dr. michael connors wrote a book on cuba the splendor of cuba: 450 years of architecture + interiors. + it has now found its way on my wish list. he was amazing to listen to — it helps that he was a professor at nyu for 15 years!
