These framed vintage bathing suits from Battersea would look amazing in a hallway or above a sofa in a beach home. I am simply obsessed.
While you are there why not pick up some vintage industrial lights to go in said beach house? :)

This is the kind of post that I've been looking forward to all weekend- and it's a long one since one thing lead to another, and then to another and so on. It's so lovely to find something so inspiring that creates pathways to even MORE inspiration, don't you think?
As you know, I am a semi-devoted yogi. I try to go 2-3 times a week as I've found it not only really helps clear my mind, but makes my body feel awesome (and look better than it has in a while too!) I dream of someday being able to treat myself to a luxurious yoga retreat somewhere fabulous, and I've found the perfect place. Charym is a mind/body spa in Litchfield, CT that truly stands up to what it's name means-"beauty and health" in Bhutanese. It was developed and founded by the world renowned interior designer Alexandra Champalimaud. The spaces are so organic looking yet so luxurious you can't help but believe the design alone would assist in putting your mind and body at ease. An impressive selection of various types of yoga are available, in conjunction with luxurious spa treatments, ayurvedic health consulting, hiking and even psychotherapy! Is there anything more fully cleansing than a yoga class, a massage and then a therapy session? I think not...
The last link is this design chain is that I found out the branding, website, art direction and visual identity was design by Korn Design, of Boston. I've been admiring Denise Korn and her work for years now (and actually wanted to apply to work there before I started my own business). What she and her team do is pure genius and I appreciate all aspects of design - be it rooms, clothes, websites or print!

Flamant paired with a plumbing fixture company to offer it's own line of faucets... I'm loving these two.

They have their own paint line, which is packaged perfectly. You know I'm a sucker for great packaging! As for that in store paint chart on the wall...helloooo lovah!








Flamant has three of it's own restaurants as well, to feed hungry shoppers exhausted from spending all their money! Each is styled so differently and is unique in it's menu offerings.

They published a book called Here & Elsewhere and I'm having trouble locating a copy as most vendors say it's out fo print and unavailable. Hopefully I can pick one up at the store when I'm in Paris!
