Pretty in Paris and Marrakech

The Eiffel Tower all jazzed up for its anniversary celebration.

Gorgeous carving in wood, stone and plaster at the Medersa.

Ultra-modern window layouts at the ancient Madersa.

I just like the packaging...

 Dandrene Anti-Dandruff Shampoo uses a mixture of Climbazole, Pomegranate Extract, and other anti-fungal, oil-fighting agents to help clear out the cause of the flakes instead of just the flakes itself, meaning that while it might cost as much as 10 bottles of Head & Shoulders, it likely works 10 times as well.

Beautiful Baubles

Inspired by the Eames Walnut Stool and arriving just in time for holiday giftig, these Herman Miller Tops are a chic and stylish goodie fo desktop or coffee table.  Each features an intricate original sculptural profile designed by KleinReid in NYC.
 

Trunk Stools

From Malefor.  Oak logs wrapped with metal and a little to go handle.  Very cool!

Mmmmust Have....

Lampe Gras is the original architect light. Designed in 1921 by Bernard-Albin Gras, these lamps quickly gained cult status with the French avant garde and intelligentsia. Designated a 'type-objet', that is, an object reduced to its pure function, by the French architect Le Corbusier, who used Lampes Gras in his own offices as well as many of his most famous projects, these lights were favorites of Matisse and Picasso, as well as the designer Eileen Grey and other well known modernist artists. Available in Brooklyn at Brook Farm General Store. From Remodelista.

I LOVE these little stools from Tom Dixon

Available in natural and fluoro.The Offcut stool's elementary form is the result of several innovations; the circular round seat makes clever use of the curved offcuts, its construction requires no additional screws or glue, and the stool is flat packed for ease of delivery.

While outdoor furniture shopping, I came across this little folly....

HOT HOTEL No. 9

The Spectacular Hotel Esencia on the Riviera Maya is not to be believed. I just returned from an amazing week there where I felt as if I was staying as the guest of someone very rich and very famous. In fact, the main villa was built as the private residence of the Duchess de Ferrari. The service was outstanding and friendly, food was unbelievable and the rooms and grounds are perfectly spacious, minimal and chic....and, ohhh the spa! Just what the Dr. ordered for an easy to get to, stress free bit of R+R.
