La casa de Dora Maar

Dora Maar's house

Dora Maar was a French photographer, poet and painter who is well known for her tumultuous relationship with Pablo Picasso. In the Easly 1940's, Picasso bought this home for her in one of the most beautiful regions of Southern France, Mernerbes. After the relationship ended, Dora spent the rest of her life in the estate surrounded by Picasso's paintings of her. 

The house is simply breathtaking with beautiful cypress tress surrounding it. The high ceilings and artist studio make it an eclectic but elegant estate. The home still boasts of glamour but has been renovated and is now a retreat for writers, scholars and artists.

El Estilo de San Miguel de Allende

"The style of San Miguel de Allende"

Located in central Mexico, San Miguel de Allende is well known for its colonial and Sapnish architecture. Rich in culture, sophistication and a vibrant art scene, san Miguel is the new hot spot for travelers. The architecture and decór are on my top list of favorites and here are a few pics that exemplify the elegant but rustic way of life. 

Dark beams are prevalent in kitchens with white walls. Spanish rod iron finishes are aprinkled throughout the rooms in a lot of the houses and hotels. 

There are so many well preserved places to travel and stay, making it the ultimate destination- Hermosa!

Viva Mexico and San Miguel de Allende ESTILO!

Carolina Herrera

Carolina Herrera

"I would never live in a beige and white house- I need to live with a mix of colors and details and styles of furniture."

Carolina Herrera is a Venezuelan born beauty who has always had her own unique style and personal look. Her chic fashion sense and personal elegance transcends into her homes as well. This week, I find inspiration in her families homes in both Madrid, España y New York. 

Her homes boats bold reds and bright colors aw well as a soft feminine palette. French antiques and modern pieces are sprinkled throughout, for a gorgeous mix of old and new. Never confirming to one style or era, her casa is a true reflection of her personality.
