What cool photo traditions do you have?! xo Sécia F O L L O W   U S   O N   I N S T A G R A M   ::    @seciasophia

Living in a city that's prone to earthquakes, we're told that it's not always the best idea to hang things above the bed but I just can't resist these funky, sexy above the bed ideas. Pretty sure it's not the potential earthquakes that are keeping that spot on my wall bare... It's my indecisiveness because I just love all of these way too much! xo Sécia F O L L O W    U S   O N    I N S T A G R A M   ::    @seciasophia

We're currently in the last stages of our living room and it's oh so sweet making those finishing touches. My heart skips a beat when I look at these inspiring spaces and it makes me just want to cuddle up with a good (dirty) book and sink in to my heart's content. Next step... the den. Now that's where I get to go really crazy! xo Links to these and more pretty spaces here .

{from ::  AMradio } Sorry lovelies, these items are taken... by ME! Why is it that whenever I'm on an extended vacation from work I spend a lot of dough?! Seems a little counterproductive but I just couldn't ignore these pretty, little items any longer and just had to finally make them mine. {from :: GypsyStitch } {from :: uncommon } {from :: MyRoots  (of course, with the hearts in the proper places)} Now I need your help with these last few... {should I do it??? I really love it and it's huge! (that's what she said) from :: handsartshop } {this is kinda too cool not to buy from :: LennyMud } xo

Just before the world-famous Hotel Ritz in Paris closed its doors for an unprecedented two-year renovation, Kate Moss checked in one last time for an amazing photo shoot with Tim Walker for Vogue. Guests recall their fondest memories of the beloved hotel, often the host to Paris fashion week. I've never been to the Ritz myself but these photos accompanied by the dreamy stories have definitely added it to my bucket list. One thing is for sure, you can't deny that this place is its own work of art with an equally intriguing history . xo

We shared  PART 1  of the super cute caravans from Palm Springs Modernism Week but these ones are truly one-of-a-kind. They're crazy cool and true works of art.  This completely restored caravan is truly amazing. Don't you just love the deco feel? This 1965 Airstream Safari has been transformed into a rolling editing bay designed to serve the television and film industry. Equipped with a 42" HD TV, 4G Hot Spot, Mac Mini and Apple TV, this baby is like a modern house on wheels. Look at that kitchen complete with wine fridge, coffee machine and bar! This custom Decoliner designed by Randy Grubb is crazy! The chassis is from a 1973 GMC motorhome, the engine from a 455 Olds. and the front cab is from a 1950 "White" C.O.E. tanker. And yes, you can drive it from the top! And for those of you wanting the vintage feel along with that brand new smell, have no fear.  Airstream  is still in production and these guys are still rolling off the assem...

As Modernism Week in Palm Springs came to a close, we took a day to tour restored, vintage caravans and were so inspired. It's amazing how truly unique each one was. We could really see the individual personalities of the people who put so much time and love into their restorations. For the lighter traveler, the 1946 Curtis Wright was the oldest on the tour. I love that all wood interior! This 1959 Airstream Globetrotter, lovingly named the "Welshly," was almost completely intact when this sweet family discovered it. All appliances were in working condition and the flooring, drapes and upholstery were the only items replaced. The story goes, they purchased it via Ebay one night while enjoying martinis.  Fun fact: Each year Airstream made little adjustments to their new trailers which is why you never really see two alike. Super cute, right? What? Bunk beds? Awesome. A fully restored 1960s Airstream Caravel with a more Scandinavian, minimalist design. This baby took five...

Looking back at moments captured on gloomy afternoon walks and dreaming of inspiring color palettes. It's the last day of February which means lots of colors will be blooming and lots of time spent outside in the near future. The jasmine has already starting blossoming in the neighborhood and has quickly become my favorite fragrance. Hope the end of the month finds you all well. xo

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...
