What is this place?

My eye is constantly 'on' as I travel this world - looking for new color combinations, textures, and patterns (side note: I have a major love for found patterns so there will be many).  Over the course of 12 years I have been to over 50 countries and 200 cities to look for new trends in fashion and interiors as a trend forecaster.  My eye has been trained to look for the unexpected or the unusual and continues to keep changing to this day.  This blog is an additional place to show my perspective on how I see the world.  Follow along here or on Instagram (@abbeylcook) and check in often....I have a lot of inspiration to share.  Also, unless stated all photos have been taken by me.
