Hotel Crayon_Paris

Hotel Crayon 25 Rue du Bouloi 75001 Paris

Located in the heart of Paris, close to the Musée du Louvre, Hotel Crayon is not your typical design hotel. It is a new version of the guesthouse and the home of Parisian artist Julie Gauthron. She has scoured antique shops and flea markets to furnish the 27 rooms, all of which have their own special character. The result : a unique patchwork of ideas in an eclectic, vibrant and creative environment that mixes colors, patterns and materials.

Gosto tanto... Frescos, Lindos, Confortaveis.
Estes e mais uns tantos, fazem parte de todas as noites relaxadas do meu Verão! :)

Dune House_by JVA

The house is situated in Thorpeness, England on the Suffolk coast, replacing an existing building at the site. The house is a holiday house for rental and is part of Living Architecture.

To get a planning permission it was important to relate to the existing, typical, British seaside strip of houses. The roofscape, the bedroom floor, somehow plays with the formal presence of these buildings, and also brings into mind a romantic remembrance of holidays at bed- and breakfasts while traveling through the UK.

The ground floor is contrasting this by its lack of relationship to the architecture of the top floor. This architectural ambiguity of the house also addresses the programmatic difference between the private upper floor and the social ground floor. The living area and the terraces are set into the dunes in order to protect it form the strong winds, and opens equally in all directions to allow for wide views. The corners can be opened by sliding doors; this will emphasize the floating appearance of the top floor.

While the materiality of the ground floor; concrete, glass, aluminum, relates to the masses of the ground, the upper floor is a construction made of solid wood, cladding stained dark as the existing gables and sheds found in the area.-

One Dream_by Bosung Kim

Photographed by Bosung Kim for VOGUE Korea, model Ji Hye Park is captured in a series of daydreams floating across the blue sea. She imagines a life traveling the world, a life at sea and that special day when she is able to wear that perfect white dress. Detailed set design along with alluring styling surely captured our attention and made us reminisce with some of our own daydreams.

DIY Embellished Denim Shirt

For shank style buttons, start by cutting off the backs with a pair of flush cutters. Vintage buttons are most commonly made of lightweight metal and plastic so cutting off the shanks is very easy. For embellished collars, make sure there are two sets of embellishments so that the design is symmetrical.

Squeeze a dollop of Jewel-It washable glue onto a wooden spoon or small plastic container. Jewel-It is the best bonding agent when it comes to glueing hard-to-hold jewels and embellishments onto fabrics. Use a toothpick to dab glue onto the back of a button, rhinestone, or pearl.

Position the embellishment on the tip of the collar and work outwards.

Note that the glue does not set right away and takes quite a while to dry so be careful not to nudge the pieces around too much.

Repeat the same design on the other collar tip and that’s it, you’re done! Allow to dry at least 24 hours before handling or wearing and even though clothing can be washed after using Jewel-It, I would recommend dry cleaning the shirt only.

Another option is to embellish the pocket of a denim shirt using the same technique. Check out an example here. Happy embellishing!
