Matuse

Luz — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 19:34:51 +0000

My preferred brand of wetsuit is Matuse, their attention to detail and quality surpasses all the other brands. I am a huge fan of the brand and in my home we only surf with Matuse suits. I am super happy and excited to see the women’s line of spring suits, rashguards and vests. These new models bring function and style to a new level. Some of these models were design by Alexandra Cassiniti, who owns a great line of clothing and accessories. I bought one of her spring suit a couple of years ago since Matuse didn’t have one back then. I am happy to see that my two favorite surf brands are getting together to create the most functional and feminine wetsuits in the industry. To view the entire collection, click here.

Seea

Luz — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 19:34:29 +0000

This summer has been amazing and surfing has been super fun, I can’t complain. The water has been perfectly warm most of the time and the waves the perfect size for me. I am a fan of spring suits and lately more and more companies are launching more feminine and sexier spring suits for women. I came across Seea while looking at women’s wet suits online and I am really into them. I love the color blocking and the cut of these suits. These suits will stand out on the lineup at the beach and give you extra girl power on the waves. I am undecided but I am pretty sure one of these will be in my closet this fall.

RiK Stool

Luz — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 10:52:29 +0000

This stool reminds me of my time spent in the model making studio when I went to school for Industrial Design at RIT. I remember the day I found out about the vacuum former and I remember thinking the infinite possibilities! It was so much fun to see how each sheet would turn into a 3D product with the touch of a button.

When I saw this stool online this week, I was so happy to see the perfect blend of wood and plastic together to support a functional piece of furniture. I don’t know a lot about the designers behind this project but I think they are from a school in Israel. For more information about this project and for a video on how this is made you can click here.

Broken Things by Livia Martin

Luz — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 10:45:49 +0000

While I love pottery and the traditional look of my morning tea mug, I have to say these ones from Livia Martin are a unique piece of art. These are sculptures curated at the House of Propellers Gallery in London. The artist, Livia Martin, lives and works in London and earned her MFA in Chile. I love how she incorporated the delicate floral print into the melted-like porttery pieces.

Brookfarm General Store

Luz — Sun, 13 May 2012 20:06:12 +0000

Brookfarm General Store has always been a favorite of mine. They carry thoughtful home goods that will remind you of simpler times and their neutral colors make the perfect gift for any home. This charming shop is in Williamsburg, Brooklyn but you can always shop online and get a great variety of products from the comfort of your home. This is a great place to get a housewarming gift or for any other special occasion. I selected some of my favorite ones here, this light cotton scarf looks super cozy and is a great every day accessory. The linen trays are a great accent for a coffee table and it has an unexpected texture and color to it with the striped linen inlay. Finally I also added a beautiful leather dog collar, the richness of the leather and the simplicity of the construction caught my eye, I know this would be a great dog lover gift.

In the meantime I wanted to share with you these new beautiful swimsuits from Lauren Moffatt which bring a touch of girly ruffles and a lot of color blocking. These are simple but a little flirty which to me is a good combination for a beach day this summer. I hope you are ready for this summer because I know I am, enjoy the heat and don’t forget your sun block!

Hats Wishlist

Luz — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 04:27:04 +0000

This spring season is going to be one of the biggest and most exciting times to find a new hat. Hats are coming back to everyday wear and hopefully they will stay for a while. I am looking forward to my Spring trip to Japan and I have a great feeling I will find a really fun and unique hat there. My last trip to Tokyo was an awakening trip, Japanese fashion is far ahead of everyone else and they have adapted hats to their wardrobe as an everyday item. I found these hats online this week in a Japanese website called CA4LA and it only got me more excited about my trip if you have a hat shop recommendation please let me know!
