An Oceanfront Haven

This oceanfront haven is a dream... I love the clean line architecture and furnishings that gives off a relaxed mood plus the idyllic and dreamy feel of the surroundings of the place. A retreat full of surprises in every turn, just like the entrance with a skylight that reveals an underwater view of the rooftop pool, or the spacious bedroom with Artemide lamps and Cassina’s ’60s-style “Wink” chair, and the home office with a glass window that frames the beauty of the view outside. And I love how this place have abundance of light, air, white walls and spectacular views in almost every corner.

Man Candy Monday: Joseph Gordon-Levitt

First time to join Man Candy Monday from Join The Gossip and I think it is really cool and fun. I had no internet connection for a week and a little Man Candy would definitely be a nice blog comeback. My Man for the day is the very talented, cool, and cute actor/director Joseph Gordon Levitt. I love him on the Indie Film '500 Days of Summer' in which he played Tom Hansen opposite Zooey Deschanel and can still remember him portraying Cameron James in '10 Things I hate about You' with the late Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles. I just love his smile and the boy can sing too.

Remembering the 80's

I love the 80's, it was a fun decade, at least of course for people like me who have experienced it. I love the music,
the tv shows,

the fashion (even if at times remembering the shoulder pads make me uneasy, the trench coat, acid wash jeans, wayfarer sunglasses, neon socks, oversized shirts, and espadrilles were cool then)

the movies,

the wedding,



and yes even the hair of the 80's has its moments, remember MacGyver and Andrei Agassi sporting a mullet.

You may ask why the sudden 80's thing, well, my fave band during the decade was Duran Duran, and with their 13th Studio Album that just came out which is 'All you Need is Now',



fond memories came rushing back. John Taylor was my fave, he was just so easy on the eyes back then, a real eye-candy. And you bet I'd buy any magazine that has them or even just him on the cover and pages. Lots of my allowance was spent on buying their albums and posters too. Oh how time flies... do you have any 80's favorite? A band, movie, tv show, fashion or just a fond memory of the decade.

Here are some vids of John Taylor,

And since this is a design blog I'll share with you pics of John Taylor and his wife Gela Nash-Taylor's (cofounder of the multimillion-dollar Juicy Couture company) Wraxall Manor in Wiltshire, England which was featured in Vogue.

The Retreat - Nature Tripping

I'm on a virtual nature tripping mood today, somewhere quiet, somewhere I am going to be so close to nature that I could be able to hear the chirping of the birds, and a dive on the waters would just be a few footsteps away. And of course, the accommodation should be nice, serene, and if possible dreamy. Oh, feel free to join me ♥

Here is The Retreat, located in Northern Selous, Tanzania in Africa. It is a twelve-suite exquisite hideaway that offers complete seclusion in the heart of remote bush lands. Elephants, lions, black rhinos, leopards, wild dogs, giraffes, hippos and crocodiles and more than 400 different birds can be seen among many other wildlife.
