There’s something truly magical about escaping a bustle of a big city and relaxing in a secluded cabin in the middle of the woods, but what if we told you can take the cabin with you anywhere you go? That’s exactly the idea behind LumiPod, a revolutionary mobile living unit that offers ultimate comfort and unique design.

LumiPod was created by the French company Lumicane, and the idea behind is simple, yet pretty inventive. Instead of camping or sleeping in an RV, LumiPod allows you to spend your time in nature inside a small prefabricated home, with all the amenities your heart desires.

LumiPod’s official website describes it as “a real cocoon of simplicity, settled in the middle of nature to welcome city dwellers willing to relax away from the concrete jungle.” Built-in Lumicane windows allow you to fully immerse in nature because they offer authentic flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.

LumiPods currently come in three different sizes, ranging from tiny ones that fit the size of a hotel room to bigger models for family stays. In addition to the curved window that offers beautiful panoramic views, each one comes with privacy curtains, a bathroom, wardrobe, and technical room. Their interior design pretty much mimics classic luxury hotel rooms, because they aim to provide you with the same kind of comfort while you’re fully surrounded by nature.

The fashion world recently bid farewell to visionary designer Virgil Abloh, after his tragic passing to a rare type of cancer at the age of 41. The late designer spent the last decade breaking new ground in the fashion world, and here are three moments that defined his short, but illustrious career.

Kanye West’s Creative Director

Abloh met Kanye West while interring for Fendi in Rome and they had an instant connection. Abloh assumed the role of the creative director of West’s creative agency Donda in 2011 and kept collaborating with the famous rapper in the years to come.

Founding Off-White

By the time 2012 rolled around, Abloh already had so many connections in the fashion world that he could easily start his own brand. His luxury streetwear brand Off-White was born, and he went on to collaborate with everyone from Nike and Levi’s to Jimmy Choo and Converse in the upcoming years.

Louis Vuitton’s Artistic Director

After finding incredible success with Off-White, Abloh was put in charge of another luxury brand. He was appointed as the artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear line in 2018 and served in this position until his death. He made history as the first African-American to be appointed as the artistic director at this luxury fashion house.

Best Ways to Embrace Natural Décor Elements This Holiday Season

Christmas is almost two months away, but it’s never too early to start preparing for the holiday season. Natural and organic influences are one of the biggest holiday home décor trends of 2021, and here are some useful tips for welcoming this trend into your home.

Real Christmas Tree

The first step of welcoming natural elements into your home is to buy a real Christmas tree instead of a plastic one. Make sure to take proper care of it because you’ll be able to plant it after the holidays are over if it’s still in a good shape.

Natural Tones

If you want your Christmas tree to have an organic feel, decorations in natural tones are the way to go. Camel, tan and beige hues are your best bet and they’re going stronger than ever this year. They may not seem like the most obvious choice because they’re missing all the dazzle that Christmas is associated with, but they actually offer a softer take on the classic gold hues.

DIY Decorations

You don’t have to break a bank to buy Christmas decorations in natural tones because you can easily make them yourself, with everything from pine cones to dried citrus fruits. If you’re running out of time, you can always buy natural ornaments on Etsy or from local art and crafts vendors.

There’s something truly magical about photos of fall foliage. But after looking through hundreds of them, sometimes it can be a struggle to see the difference. If you want your seasonal photos to look unique and truly pop out, here are some creative photography ideas you should try out.

Amazing Reflections

Taking fall foliage photos in the middle of the woods is all fun and games, but they’ll look much better if there’s a river or a lake nearby. Water surfaces will take your photos to the next level, because they allow you to capture reflections and practice long exposures along the way.

Just Look Up

If you find yourself surrounded by tall trees during your photography sessions, don’t forget to look up every once in a while. You’ll end up taking amazing photos of trees towering above you and reaching high to the sky.

Capture the Details

Most people focus on the bigger picture when it comes to fall foliage, but your photos can look equally amazing if you pay extra attention to the details. Try taking photos of trees on the ground, bare tree trunks, and tree textures, and see if you can discover some interesting compositions and patterns along the way.

If you have a soft spot for retro designs with a funky feel, then Miracle Eye is about to become your new favorite fashion brand. This family-owned business specializes in vintage and handmade designs that will win you over with their vibrant colors, quirky patterns, and groovy vibe.

Blintz prides herself in starting a brand that’s sustainable and waste-free, and they work with vintage deadstock recycled fabrics whenever possible. Miracle Eye is also entirely family-ran, and she wouldn’t be able to do it without her mother, who is a professional seamstress.

Miracle Eye’s offer is pretty versatile and it includes all types of clothing from dresses to accessories. They even introduced a home collection, featuring stained glass art, blankets, prints, and more.

It’s officially fall, which means it’s time to decorate your home for the new season. Fall’s all about coziness, colorful leaves, pumpkin-scented things, and warmth. These are the four trends you’ll be seeing everywhere this season. It’s time to get to decorating with these fall decor trends.

Rich, Moody Colors

As it gets colder outside, it’s time to get into moodier, darker colors like black, gray, red, and burnt orange. Incorporating fall colors with neutrals is a great way to add a seasonal touch to your existing decor. Look for throw pillows and blankets in darker shades to add to your living room.

Leafy Patterns

Pumpkins have been done over and over again, so instead try leafy patterns, which are a modern update. The botanical designs work well with kitchen accessories, wall art, and pillow covers.

Artificial Dried Grass

Bring nature inside with artificial dried grasses and flowers. This mess-free solution looks just as amazing as the real thing, but it lasts a lot longer. Get ones in autumn colors and with natural textures.

Cozy Comforts

String lights, autumn-scented candles, and woven throws are small additions that will make your home so much cozier and festive for the cold weather ahead.
