Decor Inspiration: Living with Color & Art {Devon Radziwill Downtonw NY Loft}

A traditional loft located in what used to be a manufacturing building, where elements from the original building where rpeserved—exposed brick walls, high ceilings, wood beams; is brought back to life with contemporary art and modern books as a means of introducing color into the apartment!

This is not totally my style but love to see how art and accessories can totally change the mood of a place! what is your take, do you like it?

Food/Drink: Mimosa IcePops

Mimosas ice pops? Seriously? That was enough   to get my attention, but when I saw this recipe feature on because I'm addicted and learned that you only actually freeze them in as little as 7 minutes... I was literally sold! I am talking about Zoku pop maker... have you heard about it?  Have you try it?  Do you owe one?

I wish I would have gotten one during summer...but I guess I have Fall Sunday morning to look forward .... eating some mimosa ice pops!

Here is the recipe {that you can also do using your freezer}


INGREDIENTS {Makes 6 Pops}

For the orange juice/champagne layers:
2 ounces champagne
8 ounces orange juice

For the strawberry layer:
½ cup fresh strawberries
3 tablespoons orange juice

MAKE THE ORANGE-CHAMPAGNE BASE
Stir the orange juice and champagne together until combined.

MAKE THE STRAWBERRY LAYER
Puree strawberries and 3 tablespoons of orange juice in blender until smooth.

ASSEMBLE THE POPS

1. Remove Zoku Quick Pop Maker from the freezer.
2. Insert sticks and pour about ¾ ounce of orange-champagne base into each cavity; allow layer to freeze completely.
3. Pour ½ ounce strawberry puree into each cavity directly on top of the orange-champagne layer; allow layer to freeze completely.
4. Pour another layer of the orange-champagne base up to fill line in each cavity (approximately ¾ ounce per pop); allow layer to freeze completely.
5. Remove the pops with the Super Tool. Repeat with remaining pops.
