Tim Walker Oversized Portraits

Tim Walker is one of my absolute favorite photographers, and one of my latest obsessions is posing next to your own oversized portrait, so this might be the best magazine spread I've ever seen. All images from W Magazine, scans from here.

Geodes, so hot right now.

My favorite interior design trend right now are geodes, whether as book ends or decorative objects. I think I need to get some for my house...

Trad Home

I love when I randomly visit a online mag and discover a new issue is published. I went to Lonny's site and saw the awesome Trad Home. It has some great inspiration, here are some of my favorite pieces.

Hotel Chevalier

I love the quirkiness of the set design in Wes Anderson's films. Hotel Chevalier is great because Jason Schwartzman's character personalizes his hotel room to make it feel more like home.
