Aerin Lauder’s New Digs

How chic are Aerin Lauder’s new headquarters? They were decorated by Jacques Grange (no big deal…) and are pretty much beyond. Can’t wait for her collection to launch!

My favorite room.

Do you have a favorite room? This old London bedroom of Rita Konig’s is among my very favorite. I am all about the floral/plaid mix. English country with a modern twist, don’t you think? I can’t wait to own a home so I can cover the walls in Cole & Son wallpaper. A girl can dream…

Darling Deborah

I was so pleased to stumble across the New York Design Center’s publication, Array. This month’s cover features one of my personal heros, Deborah Needleman of the WSJ Magazine. The former editor-in-chief of our beloved Domino, Deborah pretty much sets the bar for the editorial world. Everything she publishes (she also edits the WSJ’s Off Duty section…) is fresh, smart, and inspiring. Needless to say, meeting her at High Point Market this past fall was a serious pinch-me-moment. She was, naturally, every bit as kind and witty as I’d imagined.

P.S. How could I forget her books? Domino: The Book of Decorating and The Perfectly Imperfect Home — must haves for the neo-trad bookshelf!

Robert Kime Fabrics

While perusing Rita Konig’s lovely new site today I was reminded how much I adore the fabrics of Robert Kime. Aren’t these prints lovely? Yes, I think so too.

P.S. His ikats are equally divine.

Home for the Holidays

A collection of cozy things for the home this holiday season. Thinking I’ll be giving these as gifts! :)

1) Wilkinson Door Mat – the rounded inner corners add an extra chic twist! 2) Cedar Ball Topiary – flanking your front door! 3) Sumba Pillow – great rectangular shape, it’s eco-friendly and it’s on sale! 4) Eileen French Press – dying over the gold! 4) Candlestick Phone – my husband would love this vintage inspired phone! 5) Thoroughbread Alpaca Throw – this cozy throw is equestrian at its best!
