I came across these Hans Silvester photographs recently and was mesmerized by the colors, textures and graphic elements represented on the Ethopian Omo Tribe's bodies. There seems to be a story behind every one of those lines, shapes and botanical head dresses. After seeing these photographs, I thought there would be no better way than to translate the colors and textures into the other areas of our life that most represent the best of color and texture: Outfits & Spaces.

Craving an autumnal retreat in the colorful trees, just me and my love. Dressing up for fancy candlelit dinners for no one but ourselves!

GUEST POST // BREAKFAST ON THE GO by CASEY KEASLER

*Casey is back with another awesome post! Have you downloaded her mix yet? I can't stop listening to it... Thanks again Casey!

Hi there, it's Casey from K.I.D. Collective again. I'm an interior designer and I blog from time to time about my work, what inspires me and the food I love. When Jennifer asked me to put together a post while she's out traveling, I immediately thought about a travel related post (and how she always seems to be on the go) and then the food. We both love the food.  

In my mind, you're either a breakfast person or you aren't, there's no middle ground for this one. I happen to fall in the breakfast loving category. My favorite breakfast is a weekend morning when I can relax with a cup of coffee, catch up on whatever I happen to be reading at the moment and then make breakfast, almost always a few hours after I wake up. I've never been much of a wake up and eat kind of girl.

The rest of the week, when I'm not up a few hours before I head to work, I try to plan ahead and take my own breakfast with me. My favorite is lowfat Greek yogurt, granola, seasonal fresh fruit all topped off with honey. I like putting it in a pint sized mason jar because it's so much nicer eating out of glass than plastic and because the mason jar cap screws on and doesn't ever pop off in my bag. My cousin-in-law, Jora, makes a great granola recipe if you want to make it yourself instead of buying. The recipe card below can be saved or scaled and printed on a 3x5 note card too. Enjoy!

Hi there! Jessica from Destined to Design filling in for the fabulous Jennifer while she's away enjoying NYC. With the leaves falling and the breeze kicking in lately, I'm leaving summer behind for more autumnal hues and styles. I paired a few photos by the incredibly talented Ana Cabaleiro with a couple things I'm coveting this season. Aren't those colors just captivating?
