How I Designed a Luxury Medical Clinic Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci
The client gave me one sentence. “I don’t want it to look like a clinic.” That was the whole brief. So I designed it around the most reverent observer of the human body Western culture has ever produced — Leonardo da Vinci. Renaissance refinement, cognac leather, an engraved Vitruvian Man on glass that does the work of a manifesto. Come inside.
The Brand That Finally Feels Like Home — OLYRA at Viluz Marbella 2026
OLYRA Marbella luxury brands. I walked into Viluz and went quiet. After 17 years as a designer — after every marble, every chandelier, every imported finish Marbella has to offer — that almost never happens. But something about this place was different. The walls were warm. The floor had a texture I had never met before. The lamp glowed instead of shined. And every single thing I touched came from OLYRA — a curated family of ten extraordinary European premium brands, brought together at one estate above Marbella. I am now their representative on the Costa del Sol, and I want to tell you exactly why that matters.

Cute Pastel Outfit Combinations and Ideas to Wear Pastel
Pastels is one of the major trends this season, but many women (including myself) find wearing pastels a challenge. They can wash you out, look too ‘sweet’ or take you back to your children’s years!

Mediterranean Blue Interiors: Why the Warmest Trend of 2026 Happens to Be a Cool Colour
There is a particular quality of light on the Costa del Sol in early morning — before the heat arrives, when the sky is still the colour of washed indigo and the sea holds its breath. It is not a cold blue. It is mineral, layered, alive. It has warmth underneath it. That quality is precisely what the most interesting interiors of 2026 are chasing — and it is what separates Mediterranean blue from every other take on this colour that has dominated the design conversation this year.

After years of quiet beige minimalism, the rooms setting the conversation are saturated, layered, and deliberately expressive. Interior designer Svetlana Dubova explores what’s driving the move toward jewel tones, colour drenching, and maximalist luxury — and how to execute bold colour at a level that feels intentional, not chaotic.

I’m Sandy! I am a lifestyle and fashion blogger, an obsessed photo-taker of my kids, a bubble tea lover, a shopaholic, and I love being busy.
This blog is my little slice of the interweb to share outfits (women’s fashion and mommy + me outfits), good shopping deals, recipes, show my progress on home decor (it’s a never-ending project, right?), talk about motherhood, and show daily inspirations.
