1) Set small patterns against large ones, limit your palette
and include one solid piece.
2) Pick a color theme, look for variations in pattern,
balance large scale with an allover print, solids in theme colors anchor the
look.
3) Find one item that is multicolored and pair them with
other pieces that pick up the colors of that scheme. Keep furniture pieces
basic and solid to act as a canvas.
4) If you limit your palette to a couple of vibrant hues and
play them off of a neutral background, a playful mix of prints looks cohesive while
effectively moving your eye around the space.
5) A monochromatic palette against a neutral background
makes it impossible to mess up.

On his love of racing and his wife Jillian sharing his
passion: “I think she kind of wishes she hadn’t allowed me to start racing
because it’s become a full-time business and occupation outside of, and on top
of, everything else I’m doing. She got the new Porsche 911 Targa as an
anniversary present and now says, ‘I completely understand why you love cars
and the rush of it!’ If you’re in a performance car there’s definitely a
sensation that you get that is indescribable.”

Joan Alexandra Molinsky (June 8, 1933 – September 4, 2014),
known as Joan Rivers, was an American actress, comedian, writer, producer, and
television host noted for her often controversial comedic persona — where she
was alternately self-deprecating or sharply acerbic, especially toward
celebrities and politicians.
Rivers came to prominence in 1965 as a guest on The Tonight
Show. Hosted by her mentor, Johnny Carson, the show established Rivers' comedic
style. In 1986, with her own rival program, The Late Show with Joan Rivers,
Rivers became the first woman to host a late night network television talk
show. She subsequently hosted The Joan Rivers Show (1989-1993), winning a
Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Talk Show Host.
On his love for the outdoors: "I will always be most
comfortable in the outdoors. I grew up in the Ozarks—something resembling Mark
Twain country. The woods, rivers, bluffs, lakes, and caves have all left an
indelible mark on me. And I'm quite reverential when it comes to a tree. On my
forearm, I had tattooed '94.9m (311.4ft)'—the height of the largest
sequoia."
On his passion for bikes and motorcycles: "I first rode
at age 7 on my cousin's Honda Mini Trail 50. I tried to jump it and ran it into
my grandmother's car. He was severely pissed off. My first bike was a Kawi 150
enduro. I won it at age 12 in a contest for selling the most pecan log rolls
door to door after school. I crashed it four weeks later."
“I try to carve out time for a solo ride in every country I
travel to, from the Highlands of Scotland to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco to
the belly of India. I haven’t even come close to fulfilling my list—yet. . . .
But, in the traffic of L.A. with a helmet on, I’m just another asshole on the
road.”

Kristen Stewart gets locked up in Chanel for the cover of
Elle magazine’s September 2014 fashion issue, on newsstands nationwide August
19.
On her growing career: “Never at any point have I sat down
and plotted how I should proceed from here on. As soon as you start thinking
about your career as a trajectory—like, as if you’re going to miss out on some
wave or momentum—then you’re never doing anything for yourself anyway. Then
you’re truly, actually, specifically working for the public. You’re turning
yourself into a bag of chips.”

Marrakech in May is unseasonably tagine-hot. Hapless
tourists are being felled by sunstroke merely from sauntering across the city’s
pulsing medina square, which is all but abandoned by the native food and
trinket traders, snake-charmers, and storytellers who will throng it in the
desert cool of evening.
But in the oasis sanctuary of the Ksar Char-Bagh, all is
balmy dolce far niente. A luxe spa hostelry built in imitation of a castle-like
fort in the middle of the Palmeraie, it has crenellated towers that hide a
private dipping pool and afford views down to a central marbled courtyard
modeled on Granada’s Moorish Alhambra, and across the palm groves to the
distant Atlas Mountains. Guests are lounging poolside in the shade of an allée
of date palms, seemingly oblivious of the Academy Award–winning deity in their
midst, who is the focus of the Vogue cover shoot in full fluster around them.

After completing fashion design studies in Rome, followed by
years working as a designer in Barcelona, Scottish born Ann McCreath took a
three-month break doing aid work in Kenya. Finding it fascinating, she stayed
on for 3 years, before deciding to go back to her profession and do trade
instead of aid.
So in 1996 With a desire to help create jobs in rural areas
and make unique, high quality products for retail Ann launched her own fashion
house under the name “KikoRomeo”, which means “Adam’s apple” in Kiswahili..
Hoping Kenyans would take pride in African-inspired contemporary fashion, and
promote their economy through buying locally made fashion, she set about making
ethically sound products with inputs from community artisans and women’s
groups, which she retailed through her own shop. Since then KikoRomeo has
continued to offer ready-made garments, cut to international fashion trends,
using African made fabrics, often with handcrafted details.
