Spending the holiday in silence... my way to find grace

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

I will be in a silence retreat from tonite til sunday, meditating from 7am til 10pm and with no telephone and computer access. 

Wherever you are I hope you will find grace...

For the love of... great restaurant designs with a masculine touch

I came across this architecture company in Amsterdam called Concrete and they rock. Their portfolio includes everything from tree houses to museums! I selected 2 restaurants that really inspire me - what do you think?

Restaurant Mazzo, Amsterdam (visit their website here)

You can never go wrong when you mix:

brick walls, raw wood, black leather couch, chalkboard, black and white oversized photography, exposed wires, large vintage looking signage, industrial chandeliers...

Restaurant Pearl & Caviar, Abu Dhabi (visit their website here)

What took my breath away were the:

black walls, silver ceilings, silver accessories, dimmed lights, patterned tile floors, different lamp shapes in sets of 3, mosaic wall, silver beaded curtain, moroccan lanterns on the floor...

The brains behind all those amazing designs all work for Concrete and they published a book called "The world according to Concrete". Buy their book here.

VIctoria's Secret knows how to put on a show...

A fabulous show performed by Victoria's Secret will be on CBS on Nov 30th. Can't wait until then? So here is a sneakpeek... This SS11 runway included the performances of Katy Perry, Akon, and model Adriana Lima (who just returned from giving birth). 

I hope your weekend will be this fun!
