RETNA For LV

Monday, March 11, 2013

Louis Vuitton on 170 NE 40th Street in Miami Design District.
After seeing the murals on the wall, just had to enter the store.
Had only one thing on my mind...

The IT scarf design by RETNA.
Spread out scarf in beautiful Miami colours.
Love my new calligraphic cashmere & silk scarf.

Louis Vuitton commissioned L.A.-based graffiti writer 
Marquis Lewis, aka RETNA, 
to transform the exterior of its new store 
into a work of art.

Rather than an all-glass facade like most other LV stores, 
this new Louis Vuitton storefront at the trendy Miami Design District features a mural by graffiti writer RETNA instead. 
Done in his familiar hieroglyphics and calligraphy designs, 
the pastel palettes gently bleed through one another, 
creating a visual much like a large water-colored landscape.

LA based RETNA began making street art in high school 
because he was drawn to the rich Los Agneles graffiti scene. 
His work is urban and often inspired by calligraphy. 

More about Miami Design District coming soon...

Parisian Chic

Wednesday, May 23, 2012

 L'Wren Scott's home was on Vogue's May issue.
Everyone is nowadays talking about Paris
whether is about fashion, scents, interior, chocolate, macaroons...

 American fashion designer L'Wren Scott lives 
in her turn-of-the-centure Left Bank apartment in Paris.

 The home has a serene, delicately airy atmosphere,
far from glitzy rock-star lounge.

"It took nine months choosing paint,
seeing what looked good on bright days,
wintry days, in summer, at night."
 "It's by Lalique, made in 1926 for a house in Paris."
Mick Jagger bought the ensemble in the seventies 
and packed it away in the country.
"I found it when I was housecleaning."
L'Wren had the whole collection refitted.
By the way, there's also a mirrored TV screen
in this amazing bathroom.
 "Of course you need an architect on a project like this.
But when I designed my first house in LA,
I didn't have any money - I did it all on my own."
Yeah, right...
 The May Vogue.
This is as near Parisian chic as can get in my home...

Weekend On Its Way

Friday, May 4, 2012


Perhaps should choose a colourful necklace for today...

And later celebrate the weekend by
eating some cake...
Francia cremes is the best Hungarian cake.

Have a fabulous Friday!



Full Bloom

Saturday, April 21, 2012

 Popped into Ikea for some kitchen accessories:
tea towels and paper napkins
in summer-ish flower prints.
 As the walls are greyish white, 
kitchen cabins high-gloss white,
counter tops stainless steel
and in between black glossy mosaics,
the colourful accessories give a nice contrast.


Think Pink

Thursday, February 9, 2012

 My home is very black and white with shades of grey.
So it's easy to add some colour every now and then,
this time some pink to the bedroom.




Grape Hyacinth

Tuesday, February 7, 2012



 Trying to create a warm atmosphere inside
as it's so cold outside.
Not so sure if succeeded...
Grape hyacinths from Arioso.
