Traveling throughout Southeast Asia I continue to be fascinated by the unique blend of aesthetics. Chiang Mai, the old capital of Thailand and the cultural heart of the country, is packed full of juxtapositions…ancient and contemporary, European and Asian, natural and industrial. Walking down the street, one might pass a gilded temple buzzing with orange-clad monks, a food stall hawking mango sticky rice, a funky shop featuring wares from an up-and-coming Thai designer and a fashionable boutique hotel – all in the same block. The eclectic mix is intriguing and offers endless inspiration. Here are a few happy snaps of some of the eye candy around Chiang Mai. Enjoy!

Seren’s paintings are created by hand using watercolor pigment on paper. The compositions are fashioned by interconnecting patterns of color and concentric shapes where structures split, bubbles stack, ad pyramids multiply. Each artwork must strike a balance between layers of colors, repetitive contour lines, and the inherent qualities of the all the materials she employs.

Here is the new song of Dagny, called “Why you”, by Arthur Arnesen.

The perfect song for the beginning of 2012…

Looking back over 2011, I realized that I wore a lot of QSW. So many of them are pieces I’ve used over and over.. and have a timeless, classic element .. thought I’d share a few of my faves from 2011.

I wore my QSW denim jacket no matter where I was or what the weather was like.. a staple!

I layered up when it was really chilly with great QSW outerwear.

I wore all kinds of QSW denim…distressed slouchy, cropped flares, and skinny boyfriends.

QSW jersey pieces were easy go to items.. a skirt while working at home.. or a tunic layered up for a quirky summer day.

White made it into the mix with a classic button up and an open back tank.

And.. QSW stripes worked into some eccentric everyday looks.
