interior envy

This week I'm digging Jake's house in Silver Lake. It's simple without feeling stark and I love the predominantly neutral color palette. I'm definitely saving his gallery wall as inspiration for my future apartment and how cool is that surfboard?

lately

Things have been quite busy around here that I haven't been instagramming as much as usual, but here are a few photos from the past two weeks. The boy and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary (crazy!) with a wonderful dinner - complete with a fireworks display of a dessert! Fall is approaching here in the city (mixed with random hot summer days) so I've been slowly breaking out my fall clothes. This weekend I'm planning on wrapping up a bunch of freelance projects and resting as I've seem to come down with some sort of cold - probably from the weather changes. Hope you all have a good one! 

fun glasses for the new apartment / wearing my striped coat for the first time (I'm obsessed)

chatelles

I came across the French slipper brand Chatelles and am totally in love! They're completely customizable - keep them plain and simple, add a tassel or your initials. I also love the fact that they are latex-sanitized to fight bacteria and smells. Now the only problem is deciding which pair to get!

hue happy

Color is one of my favorite things which is why I've decided to reinstate an old column, Hue Happy. Right now
I've been finding myself attracted to black with a pop of punchy red-orange. (Also, how great is the pattern-mixing
in the bottom image?)

interior envy: whitewashed

I'm in awe of how serene the home/workshop/showroom of designer Johanne Riis is. The black-edged window frames are such an unexpected and unique detail, and I love the occasional pops of coral and red.

kaleido trays

When I was little I used to spend hours crafting intricate patterns out of geometric shaped blocks (and then made my mom photograph each and every one). These Kaleido Trays from A+R take me back to those pattern-making days. I'm dying to get a bright coral one and a gray one!

pedro guerrero

I'm a big architecture nerd and love the photography of Pedro Guerrero who photographed Frank Lloyd Wright (pictured above) for 20 years (and then Alexander Calder - a favorite sculptor). He passed away last week at the age of 95 and I wanted to share some of his photographs with you.

lately

The past two weeks have been such an amazing whirlwind–it feels nice to be back to my normal routine. Here's a little recap of what I've been up to according to my instagram feed (follow @anyeske)!

business cards for the blog from Cotton Paperie / meeting Brad Goreski on FNO with Mackenzie

scenes from Blogshop NYC (lots of confetti!) / I had so much fun helping everyone!

a great gallery wall at Kate Spade in Soho / my new iPhone case I designed + polka dot tee (similar)

Kazunori Hamana Ceramics

I love following Anthology magazine's blog - they always find the most unique things, like these ceramics by by Japanese artist Kazunori Hamana. I love their simplicity in shape and color palette and their geometric patterns.

fall style

Lately, I've started feeling more confident in my personal style. I feel like I know what I'm comfortable in and what looks good on me, which includes a lot of simple, classic pieces that can be worn season after season. As fall approaches, I'm finding myself drawn to investing in timeless pieces I know will last a long time versus trend-driven pieces.
