entra magazine

imagine my delight when i discovered yet another online mag yesterday, courtesy of the zhush. entra comes to us from a team of former architectural digest staffers, and is full of delight from front to back. i surprised myself a little with some of the spaces i fell for. either my taste is changing, or i'm becoming more open-minded. case in point, the well-collected home of designer thomas allardyce.

so in love with this chair by cargo collective. designed in 2009 for dwr's competition celebrating brazilian architect paulo mendes da rocha's 1957 design, this chair was the big winner, warranting an exhibit complete with corresponding storefront signage, posters and promotional campaign.

style is personal

this glamorous and eclectic space has been on my mind since i came across it a few weeks ago. i am in love with the ridiculous combination of styles and eras, the casual and sophisticated feel of the space, the unexpected pops of color (those dining room chairs!) . . . i've been told on more than one occasion that my sense of taste is -- and i quote -- interesting, and this is certainly no departure from that.

 The I Am Project :: Our wish is to affirm and inspire the beauty in every woman, to celebrate the uniqueness in each of us, as well as the commonalities that unite us as women. We want to create a space to confront the dark places that come with growth; to witness women being valued for more than their bodies, clothes, or societal projections; to feel inspired by stories and images; and to become more deeply rooted in who we are as women. We want to become a net of resources that will nurture and fortify each other's confidence, and fill women with awareness of the extraordinary beauty that each of us uniquely brings to the world.
