♥ where thou art: that is home.

when it comes to fashion, i love the idea of mixing

completely different textures and genres together

to create a myriad of unexpected looks.

with a bit of leather and lace, flowery prints and studded jewelry,

masculine accessories + feminine cut clothing,

you can achieve a look that is unpredictably cool and unique.

for this same reason, i am in love with photographer amy neunsinger's

california compound, which is featured in the february issue of

house beautiful magazine. with its eclectic mix of new and old,

cold, industrial metals and with warm and inviting french details,

this house is as romantic and cozy as it is functional

and looks to me like an ideal place to call "home."
