May 26, 2010 I could have sworn that I’ve written about Tina Kalivas before… I was realy into her Polyrhythms, 2009 collection and vividly remember posting about it, but alas, I couldn’t find it anywhere on the site! Anyway, here is Kalivas’ Totem 2010 collection. I love the way she implements color and shape into all of her collections. Check out more from the designer here, here, and here. Side note: I have a bunch of stuff coming up this summer and I’m in desperate need of a few good dresses. Specifically, I’m looking for one spectacular wedding-guest worthy...

Posts tagged as: tramando Tramandous by urbansocialite on July 8, 2010 There are no words to describe how much I love summer. I wish I could just capture the way I feel right now and store it away for the winter… Illuminated eyes and warm summer sun… adorable flip flops, an early morning run… ignoring my phone when it rings, these are a few of my favorite things… sigh. Anyway… fashion. Tramando is more than just a fashion label, it’s more like a Brazilian style conglomerate. Specializing in garments, textiles, home goods and consultancy, Tramando is a leader in...

by Brooke on Apr 18, 2010 There’s nothing more relaxing than a Sunday morning at home. Freshly ground coffee (you must try Cuisinart’s coffee machine with built-in grind- it’s a must-have!) , the New York Times, and if you’re lucky, good conversation (Sunday mornings always spark the most interesting dialogue)! Speaking of home, how gorgeous is this wallpaper collection from Ferm?

a thoughtful collection  November 16, 2009 What I’d really like to do is get all cozy in one of these adorable sets, pour another cup of coffee, and read in bed all day.

She also does custom orders.
