Borelli How To Styling Video with Laurie B Style

Last week I had the pleasure of working with the LA based stylist, Laurie Brucker from Laurie B Style.  She loves her Borelli scarf so much she created three new ways to wear it!  Check out the video below for a step-by-step guide to wearing your Borelli Active scarf all summer long. 

This video was made possible by the young and talented Ian-Thoms Kagihara and the entire team at Rachel Meis Communications.

Iphoneography in Pacific Beach

TDH, the Frenchies and I take a weekly sunset walk on the beach.  We live in a 1940's house on the cusp of Pacific Beach and Bird Rock.  I snapped this photo on my iphone of a surfer right after he hopped out of the ocean.  I then edited and added filters using Camera+.  Which one is your favorite?

Video Friday - Festival of Colors

Next time I visit India I am planning my trip around the Holi, also known as the Festival of Colors.  Nowadays the tradition has scattered all over the world.  Even my neighbors in Saratoga threw a sort of Holi the day before they teared down their house.  Take a look at the video and you can see why it's on my must-do list.  Enjoy the weekend!

DIY - Global Coffee Table

For a few years now I've been saving bills from each country's currency I visit.  They don't take up as much space as coins and are super lightweight.  Every ounce counts when you are backpacking or living out of a carry-on for 5 weeks.  As a designer, my favorites are color and name driven.  Hong Kong is never one to blend in with the crowd and covers their bills in HOT pink.  Australia has been using Pantone's color of the year, Tangerine Tango for years.  Last but not least is India, for the sole reason I just miss paying in Rupees! 

 Instead of letting the bills gather dust we used them to decorate our drab Ikea coffee table.  Any glass top table with a layer underneath would work.  Plus it's a great conversation piece for your next dinner party.

                               A few more recipes for the dinner party I mentioned.

Borelli Spring/Summer 2012 Color Palette

We've been working around the clock at BORELLI launching our new website and luxury knit scarf line DRIFT.  Here's a peak into what inspired this season's color palette.  The blessing (and sometimes curse) of working in a creative industry is anything can ignite the spark - ice cream, succulents, waves, wallpaper, paintings and cocktails.   I attempt to organize my overflowing mind on pinterest.  I would love to hear how you keep all of your ideas organized.  Have you started pinning yet?  Careful, it's more addictive than facebook.

Now what colors for Fall/Winter?  Any requests?

Missing St. Barts, Again

3 Day Walk - Susan G. Komen

BORELLI Design and Simply Stunning Weddings and Events spent the weekend cheering on thousands of walkers complete the Susan G. Komen 3 Day for the Cure.  What is it?  Women, men, young and old walk 60 miles over 3 days raising money for breast cancer and honoring those who battle the disease.  Their dedication and heart was inspiring.  We did the best we could to lift their spirits and get them to the next mile by handing out tangerines, licorice, smiles, hoots and hollers and high fives.  Congratulations to all you walkers, you are truly amazing!
