Art Collector Crush

When I grow up, I want to be like Eileen Harris Norton. The activist art collector has sparked conversations about race and gender in the contemporary art world for the past thirty years and hasn’t stopped. Recently, I came across these photos of Norton’s home and my crush went up a notch (who knew it was possible?). I can’t stop daydreaming about the way Norton lives with her art. Talk about home goals!

Today is International Women’s Day and I’m taking a moment to reflect on all the wonderful women in my life. Thank you for being fierce warriors, pillars of support and sources of inspiration. Together we can change the world. Let’s make it happen ladies!

A Cozy Sueno

The sun finally made an appearance today, but it’s still chilly out. I’ll be battling another cold weekend with a warm Sueño blanket. These handmade dreams combine Mexican sarapes and a super soft sherpa fabric to create the ultimate cozy feel. Nothing like a colorful throw to keep away the February frost. Stay warm friends!

Rainy Days

The Los Angeles sky was once again filled with clouds and rain today. These gloomy days always remind me of family and cozy interiors. In an attempt to battle away the grey, I’m sharing some of my favorite photos from Jeet Sohal’s Hancock Park home. The jeweler bravely uses color and a ton of style to fill her family digs. To see more of photos of Sohal’s home head on over to C Magazine.

Can you believe we’ve already said goodbye to January 2019? I’m trying to wrap my mind around the idea that February is waiting with open arms. Apparently, time flies when you are having fun!

Over the past year, Hermosa Journal has grown in different creative directions while continuing to focus on beauty, diversity and representation. After some time soul searching, regrouping and setting goals, Hermosa is back!

The aim remains the same: creating a space that celebrates a beautifully diverse life. Thank you for joining me on this journey.
