Apple: No More MacBooks

I stopped by Apple a few days ago enquiring about a new laptop for a friend, and one of the Apple employees told me that they had stopped production on all the MacBooks [they're the only laptop that come in white & grey, incase you get them confused with the MacBook Pros]. Although they're not being sold in Apple anymore, if you ask around in other retail stores you might be able to get your hands on their last stocks. 
I think its a shame, because for anyone who is new to the line of MacBooks, I would highly advise the MacBook just because its a great laptop and has the more than enough capacity for beginners. The Macbook is the only laptop from their line that came in white as well, which I think is much more attractive than the grey and black that all the other laptops come in. Oh well.

Orange House

Talk about standing out! This house in Ankara, Turkey is bright orange by day and by night lights are on and suddenly you feel like you're back in the 80s. I do think its unique, but just over the top with the lighting inside the house.

In Season: Flowers


Simple flower arrangements always look classy hands down. No coloured confetti, multi-coloured strings, glitter, outrageous vases that hold a gallon of water with gold fish swimming around the stems (I have witnessed these acts of monstrosities, yes). Call me old fashioned (or just plain simple), but I love receiving or buying two-dozen flowers with tissue-like wrapping, without the vase and over-the-top accessories. So next time you buy a gift, I would highly recommend a beautiful bouquet. 
Avoir.

Blog: The Blonde Salad


Chiara Ferragni is a 24 year old fashion blogger from Milan. Not only is she a fashionista, but she's also a designer and currently in law school. She blogs in both Italian and English so she can reach a larger audience which I applaud her for. Her popularity from blogging allowed her to collaborate with MANGO, United Colors of Benetton, BlogLovin' and LuisaViaRoma to her own shoe-line, named after herself.

Design: Versace Home

I'm a fan of art and design in all its aspects, especially interior design. This time I came across Versace's furniture which is classic with a modern twist, and I completely fell in love with them.

Store: Anthropologie


I discovered this store just over a year ago, and since then it has become one of my favorites. Anthropologie is sort of like Zara and American Outfitters (mental note: must do a post it) mashed together. It has quirkiness, but also sophistication in clothes, furniture and random objects. Although it’s a huge franchise, the décor is welcoming and feels like a local boutique. Anyway enough talking, below are a few pictures to show you what I mean ;)

Design: Coolest Police Station in Japan

Klein Dytham Architecture have designed a small police station in Kumamoto, Japan. It's a modern take on Police stations that I personally think looks amazing. The question is do you think it's appropriate for a police station?
