I doodle

Hi there, did you have a good weekend? My was interesting. We took my family for a night of Ballet Under the Stars on Sunday. It was drizzling but it didn’t dampen our mood. And I believe it was the same for the strong crowd that turned up. So our mats were a little damp, the food peppered with raindrops but the ballet was beautiful!

Last night, I made dinner for T and myself. I made him a beef burger (there’s still a faint smell of the beef patty on my fingers! Must be the kneading) and a fusion salmon burger for myself! Pardon the bad lighting on that photo. I was too hungry and snapped it with my iPhone quickly. I'm still not pleased with my poached egg. So if you have any tips, I would love for you to share.

Here’s a little old doodle for you from my sketchbook (click to enlarge):

Man, I hate those creatures with a vengeance! Wanna tell me how you keep them off?

Green Enough?

Going green has become a huge thing globally. To some, it is about being responsible and to others, it’s simply a matter of participating in the latest cool thing. Regardless of where you stand, I think you’ll enjoy this fun photo shoot which tries to convey the green message in terms of your food and clothing choices. The illustrations of the plants, fruits and vegetables superimposed on the photo are so cute!

Have a great weekend, lovelies! And do something green :)

Over There

Hey, lovelies, I'm delighted to be guest-posting today! Hop over here for a look!

Summer & accessories - Nest Pretty Things

I don’t know about you but I’m feeling all summery and am currently in love with all things sweet, floral and dreamy. I was looking around in Etsy (as usual) and saw these pretty accessories by Nest Pretty Things! Gotta have!

Contemporary Chic - Studio M Hotel

Over the weekend, T and I got to stay over in one of the new boutique hotels in town! Studio M Hotel’s designs boasted contemporary chic but still manages to infuse a sense of tranquility. You feel this right at the beginning because the reception area that greets you is a white sculptural island with a chandelier floating above it.

I was excited since I’ve never stayed in a loft-style room and was curious to see how the small space is creatively employed.

I loved the high ceiling and full length windows! We had breakfast in the hotel the next morning and T simply can’t live without his cereals! It was fun and I generally like boutique hotels for their slant toward being design-centric. My only lament was that I was still having a flu and didn’t manage a dip in the hotel’s lap pool. How was your weekend?

Getaway Cabin

Yay! The weekend’s coming! And I want to escape to a place like this:

The Chicken Point Cabin is in Northern Idaho. Designed by Olson Kundig Architects, the idea for the cabin is that of a lakeside shelter in the woods—a little box with a big window that opens to the surrounding landscape. Open interior spaces are intended to be a seamless extension to the natural setting.
