Wild Side
There is a chill in the air tonight. I am actually freezing. So, maybe that's why I am thinking about fur. Fur and leopard prints were all over the fashion runways for Fall 2010. I am certainly inspired by the look and it is definitely on my list of what is happening or will be happening in design. Of course, animal prints have always been en vogue. Done tastefully, and the design is classic. Used in an unexpected way, and the look is fresh and on trend. Of course, let's face it, in the hands of an non-professional and over done, the results can be a train wreck of tacky. When it comes to fur and leopard prints, less is more and consult a professional.

Eat, Pray, Love: Bali
Many years ago, I read a book about Feng Shui, Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui by Karen Kingston. Kingston is from the UK but spent much of her time living in Bali. In an article about her book titled, Bali: A Glimpse Into Another World, Karen wrote,
"One reason why Bali is such a paradise island is because the art of Feng Shui is so highly developed there that it is as if the buildings seem to grow out of the very ground itself. They fit so snugly into their surroundings that it looks for all the world as if they have grown from seed and put down roots into the earth. This is why virtually every view looks like such a perfect picture postcard."
Below, I have featured the design of Bvlgari Resort and Spa in Bali. The design is a perfect blend of traditional balinese style and modern design. I love the simplicity and contrast of the white gauzy fabrics against the dark woods. Exquisite.
