Gone With The Wind
my new jewelry “book” on my family’s antique trunk from Germany I recently found this gorgeous oversized “Gone With The Wind” book I would have purchased had I not known it also served as a keepsake box.  Double lined, it’s perfect for all of my costume jewelry.  And, of course, it looks beautiful on any nightstand, dresser, or bedside table - it’s...

Carolyne Roehm Interiors Is there anything quite as peaceful and beautiful as a holiday table?  There are so many different styles and creative opportunities one can take when setting the table during the holidays for family and friends.  After feeling inspired by my mother’s own beautiful table this evening, I began to search the web for some other inspiring settings.  Below are some of...

Yves Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2011

Talk of Texas : Britt Maren
Britt Maren I finally received my January 2011 issue of VOGUE in the mail over the weekend - and freaked out.  I realized that I hadn’t THOROUGHLY read the December issue and as bad as I wanted to begin reading the newest issue, I knew I would NEVER finish the previous if I even began to open it.  Finishing up some of the articles I’d previously skipped over, I came across Fashion...

i love chic parties.
Though many parts of VOGUE’s new website still irk me (the FIXED HEADER FOR ONE), I have sent countless complaints and it looks like I’m going to have to get over it.  However, they BY FAR, have the most amazing society photographs on the entire web and I absolutely LOVE their VOGUE reel.  Clever they are!  The latest installment of the new Dior store opening party is...
