“My apartment is pretty calm and restrained. I like a clean white backdrop set off by masses and masses of pink peonies.” -Sofia Coppola
Yesterday I danced the night away to Phoenix at the Apollo theater and it got me thinking – just how cool are Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars? The couple’s old Nolita apartment above is pretty much perfection. They’ve since moved to the West Village, but I think this light-filled loft would suit me just fine. In her House & Garden feature (top image) Sofia noted, “I like to live with an uncluttered backdrop, to keep the focus on art.” A rather smart move when you’ve been collecting the likes of Elizabeth Peyton, Hemlut Newton, and William Klein since your teens. A girl can dream…

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” -F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

This past week I slipped into the Met to check out the new Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibit and found my head spinning. Studded Burberry leather jackets, Elizabeth Hurley’s iconic Versace safety pin gown, countless early designs by Vivienne Westwood…! The whole thing left you yearning to dress a bit edgier. Of course I couldn’t resist the poster above – shredded Chanel never looked so chic.
Exhibit open May 9 – August 14, 2013

I’m dying to see the Simone Shubuck exhibit at the Taylor De Cordoba gallery in Los Angeles. The solo show is the first by the New York-based artist in six years and is charmingly titled, “Do You Like Old Things or New Things That Look Old?” (a question she overheard being posed by a teenage boy). A former floral designer, Shubuck’s work is packed with natural inspiration and her vibrant pencil, paint, and crayon strokes certainly do it justice. File under: things I’d like on my walls.
Exhibit open from April 27 – June 1, 2013.
