My second year of visiting the wicked interior design fair SALONE DEL MOBILE and it already feels like a tradition. All those great color combinations, carefully considered shapes and new materials really get my creativity roaring. And on top all this great design is presented in one of Italy’s most beautiful cities. There’s just nothing better than being surrounded by great art all day long with only short breaks for great Italien coffee or an afternoon Aperitivo.

A couple of weeks of sweet island life is definitely how i am now going to escape the European winter every year. After visiting a couple of places that we already knew from our 2011 Bali trip, we decided to rather spent our time on the Gili islands, 3 tiny beauties between Bali and Lombok of which each offers a unique experience of island life. My absolute favorite Gili Air is known for its laidback vibe, yoga and the beautiful turquoise water surrounding it. Natural materials are used everywhere in daily life from bamboo houses to banana leave dishes and there is simply no better view than waking up underneath palm trees.

Yes! Finally managed myself a stopover in one of the cities that i always wanted to visit in Southeast Asia: Singapore is a melting pot between East and West, tradition and innovation, established arts and futuristic design. It is a paradise for everyone who loves stylish rooftop bars, busy hipster streets, urban art and modern interior design. I discovered so many inspiring patterns, color shades and artsy details wandering around the city, that i would have loved to just keep exploring this urban jungle for a little longer. But every beauty comes at a price and Singapore’s is paid in excessive amounts of the quite strong Singapore Dollar. So bye bye you beauty of the East, 3 days is all the time we had.

One of the best things about the series overload in recent years, beside of course the great variety of shows to keep you busy 24/7, is the fact that opening credits are back en vogue. If you resist the temptation of skipping them (ok it really is okay to skip GoT once in a while) you might find that some of them are a cinematographic masterpiece themselves, not so much just introducing characters but generating a mood horizon and managing viewer expectations. The opening credit creators of Dexter and American Gods did a hell of a great job, but my favorite opening is the creepy as f*** True Blood theme by Digital Kitchen already forecasting the dark theme of the TV show.
