The Way We Live: A Writer's Coastal Home

While photographing Kristen Philipkoski of Stylenik modeling her Cass Clutch, I couldn't resist taking a few photographs of her home.  I suspected that it would be a cool space and was hoping to capture it on camera, which thankfully,  she allowed.  Tucked on a hillside in Pacifica, ocean views, crisp air and sea scents surround her cozy abode from every angle.  Layered with textiles, colors and patterns, her home is styled much as she is:  with a sophisticated, yet whimsical retro flair.  

She recently featured The Cass Clutch on her blog, which was a definite honor for me as its designer.  Kristen writes about luxury fashion, design and lifestyle.  She's a regular contributor to Forbes, has written for Refinery 29, Racked and 7x7, and also reported on science and technology for Wired and Gizmodo.  She has a flawless way with words, with California fashion and, quite obviously, with interior decorating.  

Take a look at her home:

Many thanks, Kristen, for sharing your home with Cocoon Home readers and me.
