I swear I’m going to wrap up my coverage of the New York International Gift Fair soon but I couldn’t only post about the vintage vendors.  One of my absolute favorite booths was Waylande Gregory, and not just because they borrowed their furniture from Flair, my favorite store in New York.  I love that their […]

One of my dreams is to meet artist Jeremiah Goodman and watch him work.  Since that hasn’t happened in person yet, I’m glad I can see photos of him sketching and painting.  Usually his work is on the smaller scale but the Swedish retailer Acne commissioned him to create three large canvas murals for their […]

I picked up the September issue of Vogue yesterday and although it’s a little heavy on Fashion’s Night Out coverage, there was one fabulous feature that stopped me in my tracks.  The finally finished townhouse of Delphine and Reed Krakoff is breathtaking and worth buying the issue just so you can drool over it.  I […]

One of my favorite summer things that I mentioned in my feature on Tory Burch’s blog is Estee Lauder Self Tanner so it was fun to see all of Aerin Lauder’s favorite things in T Magazine today.  I love the bar in her apartment above but what I am dying over are the custom make up bags […]

I was honored when Tory Burch asked me to submit my 10 Favorites for Summer.  You can check out my choices on her blog.  Thanks Tory!

Vintage and vintage-inspired accessories and furniture were something that I saw a lot of at the New York International Gift Fair.  No one seemed to do it as well as Vagabond Vintage. The company has been in business for over 20 years and I loved pretty much everything I saw from them.  They mix reproductions […]

I can’t think of a better way to follow up a post about Bunny Williams than to announce that the 38th Annual Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse has finally found a home!  The venue is “a magnificent and newly-renovated limestone mansion” at 106 East 71st Street on the Upper East Side.  The full list of designers […]

Living in New York affords the wonderful opportunity to attend so many lovely events and last night was no exception.  Bunny Williams opened up her beautiful and spacious office to a group of editors and bloggers for cocktails and a sneak peek at some of her upcoming endeavors.  Her BeeLine Home Collection II will debut […]

One of the other big themes I noticed while I was touring the New York International Gift Fair were numbers.  They were printed on everything from pillows to storage boxes.  I thought they looked really fresh and fun.  Another popular item I noticed that you can see in some of these examples are wire baskets […]

I saw a cute crown that Jenna Lyons had in her office and since then I’ve been thinking about them as a decorative accent.  I was happy to then see them in many booths at the New York International Gift Fair yesterday. I think I may definitely have to buy one of the gorgeous versions from Vagabond […]

It seemed like animals of all types were on parade at this New York International Gift Fair but none were more prominent than elephants. I especially loved the cute ones at Waylande Gregory above.    The circus elephants at Design Legacy were adorable! I think this is a napkin ring at Dransfield & Ross. A […]

Horses seemed to be a theme at the New York International Gift Fair this year.  I kept seeing them and mostly in the booths that had a vintage feel.  The handsome horse above is from Bliss Studio. Horses at Go Home Horse at Go Home Rocking Horses at Blue Ocean Traders Horse Head at Blue […]

The Two’s Company booth at the New York International Gift Fair is always crowded but worth braving for the fabulous styling.  Since I recently posted about Equestrian Chic, I absolutely loved their equestrian themed accessories!  If you can’t find the vintage versions, it’s nice to know you can get the same look at Two’s Company!  […]

Since the Jonathan Adler booth is the first one that greets me as I tour the Accent on Design section of the New York International Gift Fair, I figured it would be a good place to start my coverage.  They have a lot of new pillows, games and tableware that will definitely make you smile. […]

I attended the New York International Gift Fair today and now I’m not sure I’ll be able to walk tomorrow! I spent seven hours touring the Javitz Center and Pier 94.  It’s exhausting and I don’t know how the people who actually have to place orders do it. But it is exciting and fun to see all […]

Just because I’m excited for autumn, it doesn’t mean that I’m not trying to enjoy summer’s fleeting days.  I think these photos and quote sum up the end of the season.  Bon Weekend! “When summer gathers up her robes of glory, and like a dream of beauty glides away.” – Sarah Helen Power Whitman   […]

As you are well aware, I love any type of marketing or magazine features that involve gorgeous interiors and exteriors.  The new fall campaign from the Madrid fashion house of Loewe (pronounced Low-eh-veh) has just that and is making me swoon.  There is something about the shots that remind me of the film I Am […]
