at home { Maria Baibakova }
Maria Baibakova’s Miami penthouse is easily mistaken for an up-to-the-minute contemporary art gallery. Born in Moscow and raised in New Jersey, Maria is the founder of BAIBAKOV art projects, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering an understanding of global contemporary art in Russia and to support the presence of Russian contemporary art in the rest of the world. With two undergraduate degrees, a Harvard Master’s degree underway, and a newly appointed role as Strategic Director for Art Space, she has certainly accomplished - and evidently collected - a lot in her 27 years.

in print { Hermès, a sporting life }
This Hermès spring / summer 2013 ad campaign shot by Nathanial Goldberg and featuring Norwegian model Iselin Steiro has me yearning for summer (or perhaps a Lago di Como getaway). The fashion house has also released a series of four stop-motion films celebrating sport in the way Hermès knows best; quirky, fun and stylish, they’re an absolute must-see.

at home { Christine Dovey }
An eclectic mix of pastels, animal prints and gold, it’s hard to believe a family of four lives in this Oakville, Ontario home. As a whole, it is perhaps a bit too girly for my taste, but the perfectly curated vignettes and touches of antique bronzes are what won me over. A reflection of careful and patient treasure hunting and an end result that has inspired me to scour local vintage shops for my own gems this weekend.
