SHOP ART THEFT ::: SUPPORT INDIE ARTISTS

I realize my voice is small in this online world that we live in but I absolutely had to share this, even if it only reaches a few individuals. I've seen this problem pop up here and there on Instagram (anyone see that complete ripoff of BanannaBones' gap-tooth design by Forever21?) and I've realized that in order to stop this "design plagiarism" of large retailers ripping off the small business artist, we need to stop shopping at the stores (allegedly) committing the crimes.

Visit Shop Art Theft and read more about this important topic on cool mom picks as well as details about which retailers to avoid AND embrace (because there are some great ones out there like Target, Land of Nod and J Crew that do support indie artists).

Palm Springs Iconic Home Tour

As some of you may know, this week is Modernism Week in Palm Springs, California and we had the unique opportunity of touring the newly named historic site, the Menrad House, designed by William Krisel. It was the perfect balance of casual flow and minimalist simplicity. All I can say is I wanted to move in right then and there. Loving this retro design and those clerestory windows allowing for all of that natural light without sacrificing ones privacy. That artwork is fantastic and the bedding in that master bedroom... love . This patio cover is to die for. A genius way to provide a bit of shade without feeling closed in. The design is so simple but the overall effect is absolutely stunning. Apparently, these homes sold so fast that a brochure was never even produced to promote them. I snapped a few shots of the neighboring houses and will share them soon. Next up, a tour of vintage trailers and caravans on Saturday. Can't wait to get inspired for wh...

Chai Tea Coffee

I've been having a love affair with my french press lately. There's just something kinda awesome about pouring in the water and watching the tea or coffee swirl around and brew. And don't even get me started on how much I love pressing down the grounds or leaves {yeah… I know that's pretty weird}. The other day I was craving coffee but realized I had run out of milk (which is a must if I'm having coffee). Dilemma? Nope! I thought, why not just brew my favorite tea with a bit of coffee too! I've had a " dirty chai " before and they're not half bad. OMG this concoction was soooooo good! Just mix 1 heaping scoop of White Ayurvedic Chai with 1 scoop of your favorite coffee. Add water and strain (or get that everlasting enjoyment out of pressing that french press like I do!). Add sugar to taste and enjoy! Give it a try! xo Sécia F O L L O W U S O N I N S T A G R A M :: @seciasophia ...
