WARSAW

I've been Warsaw all over the internet but was most intrigued when I was able to check it out up close and personal at the Art Star Craft Bazaar and Art for the Cash Poor in Philly. I love the worn look and the heavy duty construction. Nice.

Link of the Day

Just the other day I was asked if I have a five year plan. You can guess my answer since I was excited to see this book on YMIB, how timely? I can totally create a to do list, but a five year plan...sheesh. I mean I know where I want to be and what I want to be doing but haven't quite planned out every detail of getting there. So for all of you who do not yet have a five year plan let's try to get one done before the next week is over. Be sure to check out the 5 Year Plan article on YMIB.

Alma de Cuba

My favorite restaurant in Philadelphia is Alma de Cuba. The Cuban fusion dishes are to die for and the mojitos are yum. My favorite entree is the vaca frita ("fried cow") which is so tender and flavorful and the beans, rice and avocado come together to create delicious mix of flavors. Roasted peppers stuffed with crabmeat as an appetizer, and a huge side of plantains make the entire meal perfect. P.S. they used to have this incredible coconut lobster ceviche that was an Alma de Cuba favorite. Why the chef removed it from the menu is a huge mystery to me!!!!

MWM in Sao Paulo

Speaking of Brazil the very talented artist MWM went to Sao Paulo to create a solo exhibition of mural art from scratch. He arrived in the Brazilian city with no materials and no plan, yet was able to create this amazing body of work. Check out more photos on his site. Also visit this link to see another artist I adore with a similar aesthetic. And another related link I think you'll dig.

Lore

Wonderful collection from Brazilian label, Lore. Check out more Brazilian designers on Rio Moda Hype, a collection of the movers and shakers in Brazilian fashion design and beyond. Not only do you get to see the clothing, but also the sketches of how the line evolved. Loves it!
