inIt has taken some time, but finally we have begun to settle here in Astana. Take a full tour of our new home!
2nd Stop: Kitchen From Doorway, the water cooler in the corner is our drinking water as tap water is off limits here...
View From Kitchen Balcony: Day, the Gotham-like structure is the "Triumph" Apartment building, modeled on the "Seven-sisters" Building in Russia...
Sitting/Dining Room From 2nd Sofa, notice the massive dinning table for 8 that is not even currently extended...this is hopefully going...
More to come… Up next: My studio space!

inOne of the featured trends for Spring ’11 fashion collections has been ice cream colours (like these pieces from Michael Kors, Christopher Kane, Luella and Marios Schwab). These lovely pastel shades make the perfect palette for Spring weddings and can be painted into every aspect, from the dresses and reception decorations to flowers. Have a look at these sweet images!

Having just re-watched the movie “UP!” recently (my top two hankie movie), I suddenly felt inspired by balloons. There is something about these floaty, bouncy objects that seems to fill people with instant child-like wonder. It made me interested in how these colorful lovelies may have floated into the wedding dreams of others.
What can make a happy occasion even happier? Balloons!
For further inspiration, read Graeme King’s love poem, “Balloon”.
