I don’t usually like repeating photos or stories but I recently found the rest of the missing pages from September 2001 Vogue magazine article about the beautiful townhouse belonging to Tonne Goodman and her family. Tonne used to model and has worked at Vogue for many years and also has immpecible taste. I love her […]

When I mentioned in a previous post that the Sundance Channel was going to be airing the Loïc Prigent documentary Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton, I had no idea they had a whole week of fashion films and documentaries lined up to coincide with Fashion Week. How exciting! The week will kick off on Monday […]

J. Crew has done it again. This time in Rome. Do you think the catalog team suggests beautiful cities in which to shoot so they can get a nice vacation out of the deal? If I worked there, I would! As usual, the clothes are just as beautiful as the city. Makes me wish that […]

I know you all love the design posts but you’re going to have to sit through a few fashion related posts since it’s fashion week and that’s all anyone can think about in New York. Who cares if there is a recession and no one can afford to buy anything new, we can all look […]

New York is a buzz right now in preparation for Fashion Week which begins tomorrow so what better way to start things off than by letting you know about a new book that peaks into the homes of some of the most talented fashion designers. Dressing the Home: The Private Spaces of Top Fashion Designers […]

I was going to call this post, Chic Country Kitchen but then I remembered that the husband and wife owner’s Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch don’t care for the connotation that the phrase “country kitchen” infers, especially since theirs is in a loft in downtown New York. Regardless of what they call it, it’s one […]

My post about Lyell got me thinking about other designers that I love and my new obsession with Carmen Ho shoes. According to her website, Carmen Ho was born in Hawaii, raised in Hong Kong and educated at MIT where she earned a degree in business and architecture. It was a love of structure that […]

One of the best things about living in New York, is the access we have to so many talented young designers. One of my favorites is Lyell by Emma Fletcher. The clothes have a vintage feel and remind me of a little bit like Mayle. They both have cute little shops on Elizabeth Street. But […]

I have a list of things I have been meaning to write about but for some reason, I feel very uninspired today. Perhaps it’s because it’s the most depressing time of the year. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read yesterday’s post. I will admit that I am already sick of winter. Right […]

I was checking out Fashion Week Daily as I do everyday and came across the most interesting story below. BURKE’S NEW PERCH: While juggling trips to Milan, Florence, Dubai, Qatar, South Korea, and Paris, where he is attending a few couture shows this week in between business meetings, Robert Burke managed to squeeze in selling […]

Kansas City non-professional interior designing wizard, David Jimenez, has been at it again. This time it’s at his vacation home in Palm Springs where he has gone wild with color and pattern. He also has an amazing new website where you can check out more photos of his interiors and event designs. It’s a good […]

I came across the photo of Peter Som in his office above and thought it was very clever that he had used old Diptyque candle jars to hold his colored pencils. Then I saw he photo of Alexander Wang’s New York apartment in the February issue of Domino and on his desk was an old […]

Right about now, you might be feeling like something the cat dragged in but it’s the perfect time to take stock of 2007 and what you want to accomplish in 2008. For me, 2007 wasn’t the worst year but it certainly wasn’t the best. On the positive, I started my blog and met many amazing […]

I’m away for Christmas now but I thought you might enjoy my photos from my winter trip to Stockholm, Sweden two years ago. Stockholm in winter was certainly not at the top of my travel wish list but I’m glad I went. It was really pretty and everyone was so nice. I also think it’s […]

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,Let your heart be light. From now on, our troubles will be out of sight. Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Make the Yule-tide gay, From now on, our troubles will be miles away. Here we are as in olden days, Happy golden days of yore. Faithful friends who are […]

The New York Times ran a very interesting and thought provoking article today about design trends that have been deemed to be over. Now, I have said time and time again that homes are very personal and as long as you love it who am I to judge. To each is own. If you want […]

I love this photo from Elle Decor. I wish I lived in a fabulous Paris apartment and worked at a desk that looked out to the Eiffel Tower. Sigh. I feel like I’m having an early mid-life crisis. I haven’t been happy at the design firm that I work at for a while now and […]
