...in the trees

i know sweden is a leader in kick ass design, but really, a "glass" cube in the trees. seriously AWEsome. time for a nordic adventure asap.

this tree hotel is in the far north of sweden, close to the arctic circle. it's a 4×4×4 meters aluminum structure clad in mirrored glass. the interior is made of plywood and the windows give a 360 degree view of the surroundings. to prevent birds colliding with the reflective glass, a transparent ultraviolet color is laminated into the glass panes which are visible only to birds. access to the cabin is by a rope bridge connected to the next tree. for about 3990 SEK/night this place is mine. wowzaaaaaa!

if that's not drool worthy enough for you - choose from any of treehotel's other accomodations:

...fit for a bridesmaid

my good friend stephanie is getting married this may and i am fortunate enough to get to stand beside her as she says i do. in true steph fashion she's keeping things minimal but elegant. she asked her bridesmaids to pick out their own dress so that we all have something we feel good in and can wear again - all we had to do was stick to her color scheme. this is my dress. i love it. can't wait for may!

...just in case

iPhone's are slippery little things. i always seem to be dropping mine - and the other day i found a small crack on the back of it. sadness. so it's time i give in and get myself a case. society 6 has an overwhelming selection but i think i've narrowed it down to a few of my favorites.
