Here are a few favorites to enjoy this weekend!

  1. When in college I did a paper on Georgia O’Keefe and while researching found her personal life to be absolutely fascinating, well she continues to not disappoint in the following article: Georgia O’Keeffe’s Younger Man. Also, the Tate Modern Museum in London will present a major retrospective of the American modernist, Georgia O’Keefe a century after her New York debut from July 6th to October 30, 2016.
  2. How Jamaica Fell for the Desert Boot: The Story of Reggae’s Love Affair With Clarks.
  3. A Sweet Indulgence
    Sugar rush in a delicious treat that I made yesterday using only a few ingredients!!
  4. Shooting Tips for All You iPhone Photographers
    Instead of carrying my huge Canon around regularly I found these useful photography tips when using my iPhone.
  5. The Grackle
    This butterfly and moth list is most inspiring for the summer garden!

Stay stylish,

Fallingwater, PA

IMG_3388IMG_3385Family members have been skiing and snowboarding this weekend at Seven Springs and took a drive to Fallingwater; the home designed over falls on Bear Run in the mountains  southeast of Pittsburgh by Frank Lloyd Wright. The house built for the Kaufmann family between 1936 and 1939 was to be a refuge for hiking, riding and fishing.

As an art student I remember studying the strong horizontal and vertical lines of this home, which are a distinctive architectural feature. There are four levels that are progressively set back to lie low against the forested hillside; the terraces, apparently suspended in space, echo the form of the waterfall.

Stay stylish,
