Jelly Jelly …not the bean jellyfish the one that stings!!!



So this past weekend, I went to a catamaran boat trip in Miami for my cousin’s birthday celebration. Between raining showers and sunny moments, the Jellyfish was not shy at all to show up for the party and we sort of got close, too close if you ask me... 



My left leg, has a new pattern, is something between the so popular snake skin and a really bad rash.

It is completely swollen and irritated after an allergic reaction from the poison which probably wasn’t that bad because, I am still here writing my blog; but as I mention before, anything can inspire a creative person, so here we are again.


These are the best picks of nature inspired jellyfish items I found, enjoy!

  "Sea Beuty" by Philppe Cramer




Jellyfish are found in every ocean, from the surface to the deep sea. Large, often colorful, jellyfish are common in coastal zones worldwide. Jellyfish do not have specialized digestive, respiratory, circulatory systems, a brain or central nervous system. Jellyfish are also harvested for their collagen, which can be used for a variety of applications. Once again, nature is gifting us with its extraordinary beauty and endlessly inspiring art in so many ways.

On the menu Dragon fruit on the board a new color scheme...



If you wonder what inspires an Interior Designer...wonder no longer...anything...



Native to Mexico, Central America, and South America, dragon fruit is also called pitaya or dragon crystal.  It is the fruit of several cactus species. 



They blooms only at night; the large white fragrant flowers of the typical cactus flower shape are among those called "moonflower" or "Queen of the Night". 




Sweet pitayas have a creamy pulp and a delicate aroma. 



It is also grown as an Ornamental plant, used in gardens as a flowering vine, and a house plant indoors.


They have a slightly reminiscent of watermelon; it has some uses in folk medicine.


Plain and simple, look at that image and tell if nature is not inspiring.



Well at my house, they are going to be part of diner tonight with panko herb crusted lobster in a sweet reduce wine house…DELISH!!!

Created in 1979 Melissa has fascinated girls across many continents. Over 50 million pairs of Melissa plastic shoes were manufactured in the last 25 years and 20 million pairs of the Melissa shoe have walked their way to 80 different countries, leading the way in smart style and must have footwear fashion.



Since it’s launched, Melissa has never stopped reinventing itself. From furniture to jewelry, the global influenced by leading designers who needs no introductions such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Gaetano Pesce, Vivienne Westwood, J. Maskrey, Brothers Fernando and Humberto Campana has created a vanguard concept in the footwear market.

  
Melissa is part of objects of desire, objects of sustainable, living comfortable, incredible works of structural design, and sweet smelling.   


And here is how Melissa the bubble gum scents plastic shoes are changing the world.  



By using mono-materials and an exclusive thermoplastic technology, Grendene is leading the way for sustainable practice for design, fashion, and manufacturing. All Melissa overstock styles are recycled into next season’s collection; the plastic shoes are created with a zero waste philosophy.

One of the great assets, Melflex retains these amazing properties when it’s recycled.  




During my backpacking trip to Europe last summer, I walked my "Melissa" to the core where I literally couldn’t walk anymore.  



I chose the zigzag model shoe by the Campana Brothers, very light and incredibly comfortable… melissa took all the steps with me for fifteen days. Three countries and 8 cities later, we have been through great adventures and the most amazing sites we ever seen.  



Spain, France, and Italy with its unique meshes and perforations Melissa zigzag was the perfect pick for hot summer walks.  



The Prado Museum in Madrid, Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Vieux Port de Marseille in Marseille, English Way in Nice, Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco, Duomo Cathedral in Milan, Louvre Museum in Paris and my Melissa steered me to all.




The memories of the most amazing experience of my life will be kept in my heart forever. Memories I shared with my Melissa.
