Here’s to a quiet Sunday lounging between the sheets… Especially smitten with the YSL nail duo inspired by his iconic ‘Le Smoking’ jacket. How very chic.

I dream of the day I own a big piece by Brooklyn-based artist Elliott Puckette. She covers wood panels with gesso, stains them with ink, and then etches the most lovely lines — elegant, yet crisp — with a razor blade. Sometimes she draws the lines in chalk first. These days she’s taken to covering the backgrounds in fields of teeny tiny dots. I learned from this great article that she grew up in a rather academic family in the mountains of Tennessee. Most of her four siblings wound up in math-related fields, but she chose art. I’m so very glad she did.

Last week in NY my little brother declared that “instagram is the new twitter” and it made me smile. Apparently he and his friends rarely tweet anymore, just share photos. I think it’s fascinating and as a very visual person myself, kind of wonderful. Last year I had breakfast with instagram co-founder Mikey and it was one of my all time favorite Matchbook interviews. He was so sweet and clearly a wee bit brilliant.
Who are your favorite instagram accounts to follow? I’m constantly “liking” the images of alice_gao, andyspade, annariflebond, annaspiro, blaireadiebee, _frommetoyou, hollisterhovey, thisisglamorous, and waynepate, among others…
