I heart Mexican Design

I've had a long love affair with Mexico. Having traveled to nearly all of her corners, I've fallen in love many times over with the white sand beaches, dense jungles, spicy tacos, desolate deserts and colonial cities. So diverse... so beautiful.

I also adore design in Mexico. I love the wrought iron, the heavy woods, bright colors, the ceramics and antiques. Both simple and complex... it all just somehow works!

La Belle Juliette {Paris}

A chic hotel called La Belle Juliette recently opened its doors in the heart of Sain Germain des Prés, where the world of fashion meets Paris' most luxurious boutiques. I loved the eclectic mix of designs, from stacks of vintage books to new age photography, from velour chaises to luminescent wallpaper. Unfortunately, my room was just too messy to document, but here is a taste of the lounge areas.
