Dosa + Marmol Radziner

I love these photo's of a party showcasing Dosa's Spring line and a new collection of jewelry designed by Santa Monica architect, Marmol Radziner.  All the blue is beautiful but the jewelry display is especially genius...who wants to play jewelry mancala?  Remember that game?

Sauvie Island Walking

Found myself a beach, and it's only about a 30 minute drive from Portland.  I'm in love...

A Stripy Morning

Surf Bazaar

Just discovered yet another line of funky cool beachwear, aptly named Surf Bazaar.  Perfect to mix and match with your lemlem pieces and all those neon accessories on the market right now.

Orange Stripes

Enjoying the striped blanket mom picked up for us in Sayulita @ http://hotelhafasayulita.com/HotelHafa/Hafa_Boutique.html now that the weather's warmed up and it's too hot for a heavy quilt.

Artlog.com

Have you ever heard of http://artlog.com/?  I'm not always so into contemporary art but I do like to know what's out there and this site is great for browsing by city, gallery and artist. You can also create your own log of the art you love and as with pinterest, follow your favorite tastemakers.

This Rodney Smith photo is my most obsession worthy find from today. 

Summer Olympics

Already getting excited for the summer Olympics with this month's Vogue.  GO Ryan Lochte!

Zulim Wedding

Emily Blunt @ the Met Ball

I my opinion no one compared to Emily Blunt in her Calvin Klein at yesterdays Met Ball.  The color, the cut, the guy, the girl, the booty...what can I say but, "so hot right now!"

In other news I really wanted to love Tory's look but I don't know if I can.  Can you?

I love a good floral applique but with that neckline and the sleeves it comes off so conservative.

Pastel Elements

These are some of my favorite ways to bring a little pastel into your space.  The ikea stool painted minty blue/green is probably my favorite low cost option but those geometric tiles and the ligne roset pouf are beyond cool and would look great in my imaginary house.

Pastel Interiors Inspiration

I don't know if it's Spring or the brainwashing the fashion industry is up to lately but Pinterest is abuzz with pastel interiors and I can't help but love these favorites shown below.  The combination of mint with greens, purple's, oranges and yellow's feels so fresh and I love how these photo's demonstrate that pastel can work for many style's, from mod to bohemian.  It doesn't have to be sugary sweet.

Black&White

Who knew my apartment could survive life without pink and orange all over the place for a day or two.  

Hot Pink & Lime Green

There have been exactly five minutes of bright sun today.  If these pictures make you think tropical then just keep in mind that it was hailing ice 15 minutes before I snapped them and as I write this Portland is back to gray skies.  

I will admit that those five minutes were pretty incredible and induced a frenzy of obsession over one of natures best color parings, hot pink and lime green.

I want to take hipsta's of hot pink and lime green things all day long but I'll stop at these.
