Sri You!

I dream about going to Sri Lanka. It is one of the places in my bucket list.

Since Sri Lanka is now stable and safe(conflict primarily in the north). My dream itinerary will have me roaming the south for adventure (elephant safaris), history (colonial fort towns, old Buddhist temples), rain forests (and mountains and tea plantations), and gorgeous beaches.

They say ,for the best weather and the calmest seas, go between December and April.

Where to stay:

The Wallawwa

The Kandy House
the eight-room hotel that was once the 1800s home of a ruling family

Dilmah's Tea trail
a hotel of four colonial bungalows that used to house estate managers

Amanwella

Amangalla
*my pick ;)*



Unesco Heritage Sites to Visit:
Medieval Capital of Polonnaruwa

Golden Temple of Dambulla

Old Town of Galle
Royal City of Kandy
Ancient City of Sigiriya

More places to Visit:
Pinnawela Elepant Orphanage
Peradeniya Royal Botanic Gardens
Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic
Udawalawe National Park
Mirissa Hills


Taprobane Island

Lazy Sunday

I am drooling over this lovely piece of furniture above - it's the Zinnia Daybed from Celerie Kemble. See more here at Lane Venture.

Restoration Hardware

Looking at interiors is like porn for me. I love the everything in this photo especially the red brick wall that adds a bit of warmth to the room.

Have a great Sunny Sunday!

Sometimes retail therapy helps

I've been wanting this bag from Su-Shi for the longest time. It's a young Spanish brand created by the designer Susana Torrubia. All the bags and accessories are handmade one by one following traditional procedures, with real leather and ecological treatments. The Old Skool bag is such a great alternative to the Mulberry Alexa.Did i forget to mention it's cheaper too? Channeling the same vibe but not really FAKE.

Just ordered one for myself. I can't wait to get it. Hopefully, I get it in time for my birthday since it's a pre-order. Mental note: Patience is a virtue and rewards are ten-fold ;p

Particular Hue of Blue

I love the vibe sparkling blue pools have. It makes me want to slip in and cool my skin especially during these hot summer days.

The beautiful pool is from the above is from the East Hampton home of Aerin Lauder Zinterhofer (granddaughter of Estee) . Isn't it serene? The cabana, with it's multiple sets of floor to ceiling french doors is the perfect size.

This magical shot is should be an addition to my "keeper" file.

Have a great dreamy Sunday!
