Honestly, I'm a sucker for anything wrapped in a simple baker's twine! If any of my friends had fire pits I would totally give this to them.

If I ever get a motorcycle, or scooter, or vespa, or whatever - I am sooo getting my helmet from Les Ateliers Ruby. Safety has never looked so gorgeous! Maybe I'll just get one anyway and use it with my road bike...

{ bank exterior by emmanuelle moureaux architecture + design }

designvagabond@gmail.com ({ kat }) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:00:00 +0000

This gorgeous bank exterior is comprised of simple detailing that creates a sweet, minimal aesthetic, and it borderlines looking like a trendy hot spot. The details really sold it to me, such as the square rainbow facade reflected in the pixelated parking lot and sidwalk surface - swoon!

Sugamo Skinkin Bank designed by Emmanuelle Moureaux Architecture + Design.

{ moving... again! }

designvagabond@gmail.com ({ kat }) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:19:00 +0000

Hello dears!

I am once again moving back to NYC for job pursuits and to see my Justin, who is working diligently at his internship (still). It is quite a long story, and I intended to stay in Cleveland but it seems fate would rather I settled elsewhere. Luckily, Justin is now living in a nook of Brooklyn that I simply love!

The blogs are rather light on content this week so far anyway, and so with regrets I say that posts will be scarce this week. Have a Happy Halloween and I will see you next week!

With her exhibition Broken Things, Livia Marin takes broken pieces of every day, mass-produced objects and recuperates them as unique and beautiful objects. She does this by adding the "spill" section of the piece and screening patterns onto it.

Honestly, I would love that first bowl to be in my entryway as a place to drop keys and wallets! What a conversation piece.
