Mexico City, One Color At A Time

My fav cooking show is "Mexico One Plate At A Time" with host Rick Bayless. As you might guess it takes place mostly in Mexico, and partially his home in Chicago Illinois. I have a fond fascination with Mexico but have never really been past the border for more than an hr. So this tv show is my guilty pleasure-always funny and makes me feel like I'm there tasting the food and taking in the scenery. 

The latest destination was in Mexico City where they tried Chicheron aka fried cheese and fish enchiladas. NomNomNom. 

I looked up a few places in Mexico City and just fell head over heels for the colors schemes used for everyday items decor, marketplaces, textiles...so I decided to share what I found. 
fuchsia, citron, lime, aqua, orange, red the list goes on. 

ENJOY!

City Life Home - one cool furniture store

I discovered City Life Home last year, how? I don't remember, what matters it that I found it right? Promise me that you will make it a point to visit them if you are looking for hip, new furniture and home accessories. My friend recently purchased a sofa which is a few photos down for her boyfriend who has been sofa phobic or just lazy. Either way, they love it and so do I because I can sit down on it when I come over. My friend whom works for Nordstrom and is an Anthro-holic described City Life Home as being "The Anthropology of Furniture stores".
They have many different brands and designers including my favs:
Jonathan Adler
Voluspa
Bliss Living
Just to name a few...
