Wynwood Art Walk

hello darlings.  in my last post i mentioned that we participated in a show earlier this month. i'm actually quite surprised that any pictures came out because it was unusually windy and the lows dropped into the 40's.  which, if you're me, is equivalent to borderline blizzard conditions.  then again, i drive with the heater on in the summer.  but i digress.  here are some photos of the set up.

I found this great little shop today, Jikits via Design Sponge. I am so in love with the mini mobiles, and origami bunting! Such lovely inspiration for my Tuesday morning. Hope you all enjoy.

Art equals Miami

December is definitely my favorite time of year and while most of you are thinking, "duh, because of the holidays". I say "no, it's Art Basel Miami." Every year I look forward to all of the amazing art shows, speakers, parties, music and huge crowds of people from all over the world. We are so lucky Art Basel here, in Miami!!!

Art Basel will commence, this Thursday, December 1st and run through the weekend, ending Sunday, December 4th.

Various happenings will be held all around town. Here are a few links to help you navigate your way around the festivities that will be taking place.  Can you believe it's already been 10 years?!


Who want's to be my Basel date?

Sisterly Love at Arboleda and Art Walk

This past Saturday, we ventured out to Wynwood located in the Miami Design District for Art Walk.  It is held on the second Saturday of every month, if you've never been, go, trust me you won't be disappointed. Make sure to get there early and on an empty stomach. The streets are crowded with people of all ages and the gourmet food trucks share an open lot where you can eat, drink, and listen to good music.

Earlier that day we went to the first annual Arboleda fest, where locals sell vintage and handmade goods.  There was a great turn out, and lots of little ones running around, including Jack. Llorente Design is planning a debut at the next festival,  so be on the lookout for that. :)

To top it all off, the weather was beyond gorgeous! After the festival, we decided to grab dinner at Fratelli Lyon. Katrina and I definitely recommend the white chocolate/dark chocolate mousse, so yum! and Jack recommends, the vanilla gelato!

Happy Wednesday Friends!  This week has really flown by so far..don't you think?

Today I am featuring, one of my absolute favorite illustrators, Blanca Gomez of Cosas Minimas.

Blanca lives and works in Madrid, Spain and has illustrated for Dwell, Honda, and Chronicle Books, among many other companies.

Her illustrations go great in a nursery, child's room, home office, and pretty much anywhere you can think of. I adore her work!! Here are a few of my favorite illustrations. If you are interested in purchasing her work, please go here.
