I would have preferred to be recognized for one of my lovingly researched and written blog posts but I am still honored to be included in The Washington Post’s Blog Watch today. I think the reason everyone is so excited about the April issue of Domino is party due to the fact that there aren’t […]

Daffodilsby William Wordsworth I wandered lonely as a cloud, That floats on high o’er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They […]

In my quest for photo shoot perfection this weekend, I made a trek to the Flower District for some fresh blooms and branches. The prices aren’t necessarily cheaper than the corner deli but the flowers are flown in daily and are much fresher and healthier. And in my case, any savings were negated by the […]

I don’t think the April issue is on the newsstand yet, although that won’t prevent me from checking anyway, but Domino has sneak peak online of cover girl Drew Barrymore’s office that was decorated by Ruthie Sommers. It is chock full of family photos and quirky vignettes and looks as down to earth as Drew […]

I hate trends and I never follow them but I’ve made an exception for yellow. It all started innocently enough too. First, I just needed to have some head shots taken which the talented Porter Hovey agreed to take. Woo hoo! Then I needed some scouting photos of my apartment to send to a few […]

I know other people have posted some of these photos already but I really like Tinsley Mortimer’s new apartment and couldn’t resist. Especially since she’s a fellow New Yorker. I also just realized that I haven’t profiled any interiors this week and was afraid my readers might stage a revolt soon. First, I have to […]

It’s still chilly in New York but it’s been sunny the last few days so there is a sense of excitement in the air that Spring is just around the corner. I love Autumn but there is something about Spring that makes it my favorite season. Maybe it’s because my birthday is in April or […]

I just had a facial from La Mer today at Bergdorf Goodman. Talk about decadent! It was amazing! And my facialist Michelle couldn’t have been nicer. She told me about how she left a corporate recruiting job to go back to school full time to become an aesthetician and how much she loves her job […]

As long as I’m discussing crushes, I should mention that I have a weird crush on Anthony Bourdain. I know you think I’m crazy. He’s too old. He drinks too much. He smokes too much. Probably does too many drugs. But he makes me laugh. And isn’t that what every woman wants. A man with […]

My post about David Netto had me pondering relationships. The Vogue article pronounced that opposites really did attract but in the case of David and Ione, I think we could all see that it would never last. They were much too different and David finally married a woman he knew from his childhood days. But […]

I was in Soho last weekend working on a project and I popped into BDDW and was amazed not only at the beautifully handcrafted furniture but also the wonderful vintage pieces dispersed throughout the store. You can get a feeling of what it was like in the photos. Each piece of furniture is handmade in […]

I’ve managed to contract the plague that is going around New York right now so I’m too busy chugging cough syrup and watching the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice to write anything coherent. Until I recover, I’m leaving you with some lovely photos of stylist Lili Diallo’s Brooklyn loft. I think this is a […]

I have California on the brain this week so after posting Kaufmann House designed by Richard Neutra, I thought it might be fun to see how David Netto‘s style progressed after he moved from New York apartment to a Richard Neutra house in Los Angeles. Above is David and his wife, Elizabeth and their daughter […]

US Weekly has a sneak preview of the April cover of Domino magazine featuring Drew Barrymore in this week’s issue…and you thought they were just good for useless celebrity gossip. I will definitely be stalking my local newsstand until it arrives!

My last post about J. Crew using Kaufmann House in Palm Springs as a backdrop for their latest catalog shoot had me going back for more. Designed in 1946 by Richard Neutra, it is a wonderful example of mid-century modern architecture. The house was commissioned by Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. who also commissioned Frank Lloyd […]

I’ve been wanting to visit Palm Springs for a while and now I’m even more inspired after seeing the photos of Kaufmann House, the backdrop to J. Crew’s spring collection. Kaufmann House was commissioned by Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr., the same man who commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to build Fallingwater. It was designed by Richard […]

I heard Alexandra Von Furstenberg was launching a line of furniture a few months ago but couldn’t find any information until now. For the few of you who don’t know, Ms. Von Furstenberg is one of the Miller sisters and was formerly married to Diane Von Furstenberg’s son. She is well bred and well traveled […]
