There is exactly two weeks until the Royal Wedding of Prince William to commoner Kate Middleton.  If you are attending or just want to pretend that you are, I suggest picking up this very chic Royal Wedding Kit from Anya Hindmarch. It includes a flag to wave, confetti to throw, and a tattoo to wear, packaged in […]

I love installations and styling but I’m sure that preparing for High Point Market twice a year might make me change my tune.  Hickory Chair creative director Ron Fiore and his team take on the monumental task of styling the entire showroom each spring and fall and always do an amazing job.  Hickory Chair was […]

Spring makes me want to fling open every door and window to let the fresh air inside.  It makes me want to bring the outdoors in and buy flowers everyday.  Most of all, it makes me want to be outside as much as possible.  Well, except when it’s cold and rainy like today but I’ll […]

TRADhome the new online magazine collaboration between Traditional Home and Lonny debuted yesterday.  I am very excited to be included in the premier issue along side Suzanne Kasler, Sarah Richardson and Thom Filicia talking about the decorating rules our mothers taught us that we break.  Also included in the magazine are the 20 New Trad Designers […]

One of the most fun aspects of High Point Market is that many of the designers are on hand to chat with buyers and the press.  I always look forward to catching up with those who don’t live in New York like Atlanta based designer Suzanne Kasler.  Her collection for Hickory Chair was originally based […]

I can’t wait to see Reese Witherspoon’s new film Water for Elephants which is in theatres April 22nd and is based on the book of the same name by Sara Gruen.  She looks gorgeous in the trailer and also in the May 2011 issue of Vogue along side and top of some pretty pachyderms.  Rob […]

When we visited the Theodore Alexander showroom in High Point, we learned that they have an entire Althorp Collection of reproduction furniture.  Althorp is a stately English home in Northamptonshire that is owned by the Spencer family.  While it has over 500 years of history, it is best known as the childhood home of Princess Diana […]

I always thought Chico’s was a store for my mother.  That was until they introduced me to their very chic fashions that anyone can wear.  Many of their pieces are completely on trend and more importantly affordable!  Happy Shopping! The Silk Utility Shirt is perfect to thrown on with jeans and a fabulous necklace.  You […]

I am still editing all my photos from High Point but decided to take a break today.  While catching up on my favorite websites, I was excited to read on Vogue.com that there is a book about to be released about my favorite artist Joan Mitchell. While I absolutely love Joan Mitchell’s abstract paintings, I […]

High Point Market isn’t the only exciting thing happening this week.  It was just announced that Aerin Lauder will launch her own lifestyle brand named what else but AERIN.  The brand would include a cosmetics line to be sold at Estée Lauder counters as well as fashion, accessories, housewares, china, and jewelry much of which […]

One of the best parts of High Point Market is seeing how each showroom interprets the season.  Century Furniture also embraced spring in the their main lobby.  It was inspired by the botanical fern print on the sofa above and grew into “a full blown garden” complete with a fountain.  I absolutely fell in love […]

I took over 700 photos at High Point Market and wasn’t quite sure where to begin.  So I decided to start with the smallest but chicest showroom, BeeLine Home by Bunny Williams.  Unlike many furniture shows, most of the exhibitors at High Point have permanent showrooms.  That means they have real walls in which to […]

I’m back from my whirl wind trip to the High Point Market furniture show and have so much to share.  Before I start my in depth posts, I thought I would give you the highlights.  High Point Market invited a group of bloggers down to tour five showrooms including one of my favorites Hickory Chair […]

We’ve seen the closet of Vivre founder Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti in Domino magazine and all over the internet but not many photos of the rest of the apartment.  I recently came across a few on the blog of the Vintage and Modern blog that had me searching for more.  I’m surprised that one of the American […]

I just picked up the January/February 2011 issue of Australian Vogue Living (we’re a month behind in the States) based on the photo above which also graces the cover.  It turned out it was part of the “home studio” of Barcelona based artist turned interior designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán.  I posted about this spectacular space last […]

If I forget credit a photo, someone will point it out to me right away.  But yet there are entire blogs and tumblr sites that post photos without any information let alone a credit.  It’s very frustrating when you want to know who designed a space or see the rest of the home.  I even […]

I’m off to North Carolina this morning to attend the High Point Market.  For those of you who don’t know, High Point Market is the largest industry trade show held every spring and fall.  There are more than 2,000 exhibitors which means I have packed my comfy shoes in my carry on bag.  (I have […]
