Carlos Páez Vilaró | Inspiring Interiors - Aurora Artist Carlos Páez Vilaró was born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1923.He purchased a sea-front property on eastern Uruguay's scenic, then-desolate Punta Ballena, in 1958, building a small, wooden lodge that over time became "Casapueblo" ("House-Village"). The sprawling compound, a whitewashed cement structure reminiscent of Mykonos, was built in stages by the artist to resemble the mud nests created by the region's native hornero birds, and became his home, atelier and museum. Though he resided in Casapueblo - his "living sculpture" - by 1968, Páez Vilaró continued to add on the structure at his desire, at times adding a room for a particular guest. So, the first photograph here is his creation "Casapueblo" in Uruguay. The following photographs are of his house called Bengala (after the Bengal Tiger) in Tigre, Buenos Aires in Argentina. In the circular living room the light coming from the roof reflects on the bronze artwork above the fireplace. This is the domed ceiling in the living room.
Camden Fridge Decorating with blues and white | Inspiring Interiors - Aurora A very, very Happy New Year to all of you! Have you made your resolutions yet? I haven´t. I have never, ever made a New Year resolution. On this first day of our brand new year I´d like to show you a selection of rooms in blues and white and maybe a touch of another colour. I have posted this pic before, but it´s worthy of showing up many times. Ok, Alec, I think these slipcovers are cute, but why, oh why didn´t you iron them before taking this picture? Love these iron twin beds. Light blue in this and next pics spells summer, and beach, and sunshine. What do you think about the lampshade having the same stripes as the pillows? Stripes, dots and flowers. Love the arch of the window. I like the blue and white vases and jars but those chinese figurines scare me. Orange and blue?

Chinese New Year London's Chinese New Year celebrations are the largest outside Asia. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people descend on the West End to wish each other "Kung Hei Fat Choi" (or Happy New Year). Chinese New Year 2015, the Year of the Goat, falls on 19 February. Chinese New Year festivities in central London take place in Trafalgar Square, Chinatown and Shaftesbury Avenue. Highlights of the event include a lively parade and a main stage in Trafalgar Square featuring visiting artists from China. Lion teams, performances from local artists and traditional food and craft stalls can be found in various locations. There are plenty of activities and celebrations to get involved in. Chinese New Year is a huge festival among Chinese communities in London and across the world. Based on the lunar and solar calendars, the actual date of Chinese New Year varies, but always falls between late January and mid-February.
The Sexiest Scent of All | Maria's Farm Country Kitchen - Aurora by guest blogger Maya Rodale, author of smart and sassy romance novels I used to have a signature scent: It was Chanel No. 22 (the younger, lighter version of Chanel No. 5, whose ads now feature Brad Pitt). My daily spritz of perfume was such a part of moi that on the one day I forgot it, I popped into Sephora on my way to work for a free spritz, lest I feel incomplete. These days, I only use unscented products, but I still spend a lot of time thinking about scent. In real life, though, we often cover up that magical, powerful scent with Black Raspberry Vanilla shampoo, Coconut Lime Verbena conditioner, Honey Autumn Apple soap, and Spring Breeze–scented deodorant, none of which is likely to contain actual black raspberry, vanilla, lime, autumn apples, or spring breezes. Skin moisturized with vanilla-scented lotion doesn’t taste like vanilla; rather, it has a chemical aftertaste that is decidedly not sexy. Instead, I use actual sugar and actual coconut oil.
The Notting Hill Carnival Ecology Center - Aurora Canalway Cavalcade Canalway Cavalcade is a major event organised by IWA each year since 1983. It takes place over the early May Bank Holiday weekend, and combines a boat rally with a trade show and a wide range of activities and entertainments, and claims the title of London's premier waterway event. In 2010 over 150 boats booked into the event – a record number. There were 70 stalls selling everything from herbs and potted plants to helmsman’s courses, distributed from the eastern end of the South Towpath, along the length of Warwick Crescent (for the first time), and all along the Paddington Towpath to Sheldon Square. All caterers were assembled on the Stone Wharf and provided hog roast baps and baguettes, Lebanese specialities and cakes. The Real Ale bar traded briskly throughout the weekend. Bathed in glorious sunshine throughout Saturday, everyone said they were having a good time and later, in spite of the icy wind and rain, on Sunday and Monday too.
