All things nautical

I have always loved nautical themes. On some sunny days I just get in the mood to dress nautically. Stripes, splashes of red and natural leather are the best ways to achieve the look. Lately however, I’ve also fallen in love with nautical themed decor. I wouldn’t dare implement it in my home however, except in a little boys room or if I ever get to decorate a seaside home. My favorite style element is the porthole.
I don’t know what it is about the style that just attracts me. It could be the connection i subconsciously make with my childhood memories of fishing with grandpa. Or its just the fact that it makes me feel like I'm at the sea,or better even,on a yacht.image

La Vecchia Marina are the masters of the nautical style. I passed by their stand in the furniture fair last year in Milan and immediately fell in love. Portholes and louvers everywhere. Just a stroll through the stand immediately puts you in the yacht-y marine feeling.

new year, new and very blank slate

So what are your new year resolutions? You wanna know mine? always, always back up. I learned my lesson the very hard way. During a visit to my sister abroad my laptop decides to shut down on me for the last time ever so badly. And as if that was not enough, my blackberry decides to join and commit suicide a few days before I came back. I’m never prepared for sudden crashes because thankfully, i’ve never had to deal with them before. Now however, I am determined to constantly remind myself of how important it is to backup. I’m hoping some phone guru at the phone doctors can salvage my info.
If you were to go through my blackberry, you’d find a mind map of mine. Seriously, all my instant ideas and reminders are on those notes. I should get myself a jotting pad that wouldn’t ever die on me, nothings worse than losing your minute inspirational notes and reminders.
More things on my list :
+ Increase outdoor activities
+ Earlier mornings
+ Quality time with family and loved ones
+ Lots of inspiration & design ambitions. Be bold.
