Okay. This one is totally dedicated to my inner voyeur. That part of me that walks down the streets of my neighborhood every day and can't help but wonder, 'Who lives in that house? The one with the pink door? And the blue shutters?' Refinery29 indulged that sneaky bit of me today with the amazing studio tour of Nikki Garcia, the San Francisco designer behind the fashion label First Rite.

The tour was shot by photographer Molly DeCoudreaux, and I can't get enough! Nikki's home is just as lovely as her designs–relaxed and approachable yet utterly forward-thinking and sophisticated too. Found objects like feathers and antlers mingle with the tools she uses in her work–bolts of cloth, her sewing machine–with all of it coming together to create a warm and welcoming workspace.

And then there's Nikki herself. Instant BFF status. I loved reading the interview that accompanied these dreamy photos, hearing all about Nikki's favorite places in town, her design approach, and her thoughts on the city I call home: "I love the sense of a community I feel here, and am really inspired by a lot of the people I have met who are making things happen for themselves." My feelings exactly.

  5. Last week, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told lawmakers in Berlin that the bailout plan would leave Greece’s debt as high as 136% of gross domestic product by 2020. That’s even more unbearable than the 120% foreseen in the deal being negotiated.
