Sasha Bikoff is a NYC based interior design with a great talent to mix materials, colors and styles and create very personalized, interesting interiors. I love this Prima Ballerina's home tour here and the rest of her work. The spaces she designs are really colorful and fun with an art-deco and European mid-century highlights- I love them!

Tempted to see all interior design related places in London, I went to visit Alfies Antique Market
in Edgware Road last week and I have to say it was pretty cool. I was expecting big and busy entrence but instead I found it hidden in a side street, inconspicuous and calm.You recognize being in the right place by the antiques looking at you from the windows. And when you are already inside, there is the whole new world materializing in front of you.
Everything from the floor to the ceiling is screaming vintage and the place and even people working there seem like from different times. I really loved the place, because of so many wonderful things you can find there: furnitures, lamps, chandeliers, kitchen trays, silver and gold cutlery, original vintage perfume bottles, glasses, buckets, frames, jewelery, vases, sculptures etc etc.
There is a lot of original sofas, armchairs, coffee tables but also a lot of affordable decorative stuff you would just love to have at home. I fell in love with the set of purple armchairs from the 50s and a dark pink sofa, that I unfortunately couldn't capture on pictures because of the place policy!
If you have few spare hours I'd definitely recommend a trip to see and maybe buy some home decor!
Here are few pictures I took thanks to the kindness of the shopkeepers that let me!
Lovely loupe with a chess board print!
Crystal sugar-bowl ans millions of vases!
I want a mirror like that in my bedroom!

I finally managed to go and see the Great Gatsby yesterday. My sister saw it about a week ago and went on and on about how great the movie was and couldn't stop listening to the soundtrack. And I know why now. Going to cinema I was kind of scared that it will disappoint me. I couldn't be more wrong. This movie is a masterpiece. Starting with great actors (Leonardo DiCaprio is obviously always great and Carey Mulligan did a great job playing Daisy). The story is based in the 20s in New York and everything is shown in such a wonderful, beautiful way you fell in love instantly. Music has so much to do with that, it's amazing how they managed to make hip-hop matches the 20s spirit. Baz Luhrmann is a genius. With the great story, great music, great actors and great costumes, comes great scenography. We can thank the director's wife, the designer Catherine Martin for taking us back in time. I mean like: Oh my god I wanna live in the 20s kind of way. The interiors in the movie are incredible, full of gold and splendor, art-deco details and patterns, marble, polished wood and crystal chandeliers.
I am so in love with everything.
That is what I call a party.
I love this couch!
How beautiful is this living room?
