Hello, remember me? It feels like forever since I’ve been here. For the past two weeks ago, I’ve been feeling out of sorts, out of sync with myself.

I predict the next couple of weeks are going to pass very quickly. Before I know it it’ll be time to pack up the car and… Continue reading it’s official! | SIMA

I’m not typically drawn to the masculine color scheme of this room at the Chancellor Hotel in San Francisco, but I rather like it. I’d even consider redecorating my bedroom one day in a similar fashion. The pattern on the valance and the stark white bedding add to the room’s preppy charm. PS – I… Continue reading green and navy bedroom | SIMA
