I received a lot of responses to the post on Etiqueta Negra store post. Seems many of you have been to the store in Buenos Aires and really loved it. You may also enjoy a peek inside the Buenos Aires country home of the owners Paula Cahen D’Anvers and Federico Alvarez Castillo that was published […]

I’m in love….with a boutique…and you will be too when you see it! The popular Argentinian brand Etiqueta Negra quietly opened on Lafayette Street this winter without the fanfare that it clearly deserves. The clothing that can be described as classic is made from the finest fabrics and is of the highest quality which makes […]

After seeing photos of Wijlre Castle in the Netherlands, I’m going to have to add a castle to my dream list of homes. The grounds are breathtakingly beautiful and very inspiring! The owners are avid art collectors and I’m sure it’s no coincidence that they made their home 12 miles outside of Maastricht, the site […]

If it turns out to be sunny this weekend, I will be baking myself to a golden glow in order to build up my tan again. But just in case it rains for the 30th day in a row, my alternate plan is to see Cheri at the Paris Theatre. I have a weakness for […]

I saw this Samuel Weekender bag from Club Monaco on Vogue’s Most Wanted feature today and thought it looked a little familiar. It has a similar style to the Hermes Plume bag but costs a couple thousand dollars less. If you buy it, you can use the money you saved on a trip to Paris! […]

I can’t help but think how cute and chic bicycle riders look in New York and Europe. It makes me want to buy a bike but since I live uptown where the traffic is heavier, I’d probably be flattened by a bus or a cab the minute I took off! I’ll leave the pedaling to […]

There is nothing I love more than a good sample sale, especially one that I don’t have to leave my house to attend! The Lauren Moffatt online sample sale starts today and lasts through June 27th. A lot of the spring and resort dresses that I feel in love with earlier this year are now […]

Elizabeth Street is my favorite Street in New York and now that Haus Interior has opened up, I have one more reason to love it! Haus Interior is owned by Nina Freudenberger, an architect and interior designer with amazing personal taste who is bringing that same chic style to her new shop. Run don’t walk […]

Now that the calendar officially says summer, I’m all about summer related posts! I’m hoping my new adage, “if you post it, it will come” will bring about warm and sunny weather and what better way to begin that with surfing! Not real surfing mind you but decorating with surf boards. Seems it’s very popular […]

You know there is something wacky going on with the weather when it’s sunny and beautiful in England and cold and rainy in New York. Hamish Bowles has even provided photographic proof on his Vogue/Style.com blog, The Hamishphere. Seems he was visiting The Temple, a Palladian folly, that belongs to the British interior designer Veere […]

A few years ago, I found a bunch of old photos by father had taken on a few road trips in the 1960’s. They were a great square shape but had curled up over the years so I had them professionally scanned in and reprinted. Now they hang in my apartment where I enjoy looking […]

Say what you will about interior designer Kelly Wearstler but the woman has talent and I can bet that her new book, Hue, will be just as popular as her previous ones when it’s published in November. Hue will include photos of her much talked about new home in Beverly Hills, as well as her […]

There is rain forecasted again for this weekend and I can tell you that New Yorkers have just about had it with the weather. But instead of building an ark and collecting the animals two by two, there are a few other good weekend options that are perfect for escaping the deluge. Just make sure […]

I first met Monelle Totah, the vice president of design for Williams-Sonoma Home at the new store opening party last October and was immediately interested in her job. The product development aspect sounded so interesting and quite frankly like a dream job that few know about or even realize is an option when they are […]

The title of the first work above by Andrew Kuo is Late Hangover And/Or This is Why I Don’t Like Mirrors on February 17, 2009 and could pretty much sum up how I am feeling this morning! Just kidding! I really don’t feel that bad. Probably because they ran out of champagne too early. The […]

I didn’t have time to write a big post today because I’m off to get ready for the Whitney Art Party tonight. I can’t wait to stalk Bradley Cooper…I mean check out all the great art up for auction! Anyone who loves art should think about joining The Whitney Contemporaries. They host a lot of […]

The first time I saw style scribe Stefano Tonchi’s apartment on Studio Annetta, I was smitten. Seems Suzy found the place featured in Spanish Architectural Digest which everyone keeps telling me I need to start buying and now its also just been featured on The Selby. I’ve combined the best photos from each and now […]

Did you know that William Sofield and Thomas O’Brien opened Aero together? It was there that William Sofield met Tom Ford who tapped the interior designer to help revamp the Gucci boutiques and later designed the Tom Ford boutique on Madison Avenue after opening his own firm, Studio Sofield. Sofield and O’Brien used to both […]

When I started my blog, it was really an online inspiration album of tear sheets of all the interiors that I loved and wanted to save for myself. Since then, it’s become a whole lot more. Now, when I post something I always have to think about how it will be received or if my […]

I don’t remember what I was looking for but somehow stumbled upon a small snippet that announced that Thomas O’Brien is coming out with a book. It will be titled American Modern and will be published by Harry N. Abrams sometime in 2010. I hope it’s true because I am sure it will be full […]
