Whoranging in the French Quarter

darlings, i'm back!

new orleans was hot and sticky, boozy and tasty, and filled with haute spirits and nonstop dancin'. every day, i strolled through afternoon thunderstorms, cruised the french quarter for fresh pralines, and shimmied with the bands on frenchmen street.

and my brother travis got married!

if you've never been, you've got to go. give NOLA your loving support. it's a beautiful city.

see more of my new orleans adventures on instagram (and, yes...it includes an alligator!).

And I'm Off!

kittens, i'm packing my parasol and cha cha heels and heading to new orleans! i'll be back early next week.

hopefully, i'll be able to squeeze in a little WHORANGE time. if not, please join me on instgram where i'll be chronicalling my journeys through the french quarter and swanky swamps.

big hugs and happy lovin'. i miss you already!

Honeycomb Housing

these colorful honeycombs are the winning design entry for a low-income housing project along the izola bay in slovenia. the clever design also provides solar shading and natural ventelation.

of course, i want 1st dibs on an orange one.
