Brickyard Buffalo Pop-Up Market

Morning! I recently stumble upon this amazing site! BrickyardBuffalo an online pop-up market that showcases individual companies and their freshest items! They have been super kind and fun to work with! They contacted me and I'm so happy to have said yes! We did a gold foil deal running until next Tuesday so check it out! But apart from some #HeartThis prints, check all the cute, cute stuff they have daily for deals! Also I love that they don't blast you with 10 emails a day! Feels super casual, and respectful, loved, loved what they have going on! Good job BrickyardBuffalo! xo Luciana

Happy Earth Day | Macrame Pot Holders DIY

Yei Happy Earth Day! What better way to celebrate than with some plant love! Ive been crazy for these macrame pot hangers and totally decided to make some for the inside of my studio! This is a DIY I found at Refinary 29, I will take pics and share mine when completed, but buy the time I get home today to make tons, earth day would be over! So thought to share this one that thought it explained everything great and I will be following this afternoon! 

Also loving some by my Etsy family - Modern Geometric Macrame PlanterSmall Neon Macrame  - and this Beige Macrame Plant Hanger! In case you fall in love with them as much as I am, and just want to buy some!

Boston - Thinking about you

I am sending some postcards to some friends, and thought to share with the world. Thinking about and having everyone in my heart all the families and friends. Thought to write and send some love their way.

DIY | ‘Bipyramid’ Tutorial

The shape of this geometric origami is called ‘Triangular Bipyramid’. I am obsessed with these little bipyramids! The origami itself is the easiest to make but the uses are so much funner! To remember this name is actually straight forward. Bipyramid means two pyramid shapes mirrored back to back, and this pyramid has triangular sides, so there you go!

Spring/Summer Prints and Pattern Trends

Yei happy Friday! What a long week! But its over and now the weekend my favorite of all! And as a celebration for such I thought to share some of my favorite upcoming trends and visions on some spring/sumer prints and fabrics! Luxe natural fibbers, a focus on linen and indigo, crisp handles, dimensional structures, and marbled color were some of the key messages from Première Vision this season. Trends are one of my fav topics because is the mix of society and design, fashion and the everyday life!!! Here is my preview of what is coming up! Have a great friday and weekend, and stay on the look for some of these prints! xo Luciana

Kate Spade: Saturday

Good Morning! Today I got some breakfast, sat on my desk, when through a couple of emails, and then this email pop on my screen, and made my day! Oh dear Kate, how I love you! The print, the colors and the strokes are amazing, but then when I clicked on it, it took me to this quick short visual story on how they had made the prints they have on their products! So genius, and cute and amazing! Love how they allowed us customers to be part of their process and their brand! Loved! Check it out {here}. Shop their collection {here}.

PhotoJojo University: April Free Class


I came across this lovely platform the other day: Photojojo. For us phone lovers, and photo addicts, it is a one month course, where they send you email weekly lessons on how to use your smart phone photo app wisely and take better pics. Super fun, you would think its common sense knowledge but not really! They teach you fun tricks that our phone brands don't really share with us! 

I wanted to gift this course to the first three peeps that comment underneath - I will close it in 48h. You get to pick your professor between Professor Pancake, Professor PJ and Basket of Kittens. Mine was professor was Professor Pancake, and I end up in love with him -

Write me a note underneath and I will register you to get this class for free for the month of April! I think we can all learn a trick or two about the photo world right?! Happy Monday! xo luciana
