SHADES OF WHITE

It is official. Summer is here! With all its sun, heat and lime flowers smell. Delicious. The colour that inspires my 2011 summer is...You guessed, white. White and its derived, like beige, soft colors in general and why not, a block color accent.
Using white in decorating an interior means never going wrong. What I love about this non-color is that it changes shades during the day, depending on the light. Gorgeous white in the morning sun, soft white in the evening light.
Oh, but white is also a very demanding color, and if you have small children or pets you should think it twice before choosing white as your basic decorating color.
I hope your summer will be white, and if not, at least, a bright one.

Kisses,
Mara

NEW DESIGN INSPIRATION

Well, I found this through my morning blogging and I totally loved it! Interesting combining simple shapes of illuminating lamps with modern interior design. Brilliant, isn't it?Simple but effective.

NEW IN MY HAND

Well, it is not quite new, it is 1 month old. :P Yes, I am talking about my new pink(very crazy pink) TOO LATE watch, bought from Alghero, as a birthday present. I love making myself presents.:D Who doesn't like that?:P
Oh yes, and the bracelet...actually rope for hanging clothes.:P Crazy imagination,right?


Kisses,

THE LIFE BEGGINERS

This weekend has been a great one as we've been celebrating our friends Marius and Alina's wedding. I totally love these kids and I am sure they will be so happy! Alina has been my sister's best friend since primary school, and I had the honor to replace Alma as one of Alina's bridesmaids. I hope I did good in my job as her helper and I thank them for trusting me in helping them in choosing her wedding dress and outfit, their rings and making the little music boxes as favors. Again, it has been the greatest honor ever! Thank you guys again, for being pros in organizing the wedding reception by yourselves, and don't worry about the little "bad " event with the restaurant. This shows how strong and ready for this journey you are!

All roads go to...Alghero

And all hearts,I might say.There is where mine is, for sure.From the moment I landed, till the moment I will wellcome Alma back home.
This past week has been a blast! Not only I have meet my sister there, but I have had a great time discovering new things, meeting new people. Every day was a discovery, a relevation, a wonder. I have seen this town as the perfect place to relax and to contemplate.Everything: the sea with its smell, the sun, the dawn,the people, the buildings. They were all there. The days spent in Barcelona were a dream came true, though. I will tell you all about it in another post. There are two different things that I can't mix. Each with it's own feelings, memories, immages.
First,Alghero,a small town in Sardenia. The town where my sister studies for the moment. It's the perfect gateaway, what can I say more? This following immages speak for themselves. You wish you would be there, right? You can't say no to such an opportunity. I couldn't.So, I packed my things and flew to meet my sister there. I will never regret it!
Now, I will let you accompanied by some photos, to imagine how beautiful it has been.And probably making your next list for the summer hollydays.

Still with the heart in Alghero, Mara
