Lake Flato home in Marfa, Texas in Architectural Digest
So here’s a kind of crazy story. Couple A buys land outside Marfa, Texas, and enlists Lake Flato architects to design a rammed earth home for them. That’s cool, but not the crazy part. They ultimately do not build the house, and sell the land to Couple B. Couple B, rather than starting over with their own architect, go ahead with building the Lake Flato house originally designed for Couple A. Over 3 million pounds of Texas soil were involved. To see the full slide show and read the pretty interesting (to me) story, go here....

Profile of Shilpa Yarlagadda in the FT/How To Spend It
Aged just 24, Shilpa Yarlagadda has a resumé and an address book that most take decades to accrue. Four years ago, sitting in her Harvard dorm room, she co-founded , a jewellery company with a single product – the Duet Pinky Ring. A spiral design with two stones – representing a “pinky promise” for women to support one another – it was worn by Emma Watson, Nicole Kidman and Shailene Woodley on various red carpets before Shiffon even had a proper website.

Rolex + Mission Blue in Alexa
The Azores, a dreamy chain of nine volcanic islands in the Atlantic off the coast of Portugal, has long been a destination for nature lovers, wellness buffs, scuba divers and surfers. Among other reasons, they journey to this picture-perfect archipelago for its insanely rich deep-sea ecosystem of more than 25 types of dolphins and whales, hundreds of species of fish and coral gardens galore. The site was also just designated a “Hope Spot” by Mission Blue, an organization founded in 2009 by Rolex Testimonee Sylvia Earle (who is also a partner in Rolex’s Perpetual Planet initiative), which aims to create a global...

Michael Graves former apartment in Mansion/The Wall Street Journal
“I walked into lime green walls and a black and pink kitchen” says Eilyn Jimenez, founder and creative director of Sire design, of the 1,100-square-foot 1-bedroom 2-bath condominium her clients, a Canadian couple, had purchased in Miami. The previous owner of the 12th floor apartment, with expansive views of South Beach, was Michael Graves, the pre-eminent architect who also happened to design the entire building (but is possibly best known for his incredibly popular designs for Target). Her clients had done little to change it except paint the walls to the point where, Ms. Jimenez jokes, “it looked like Crayola vomited...
