We have a huge girl crush on Sofia Coppola. She’s got an effortlessly sexy style and we admire her attention to detail!
We’ve picked some high, some low, some new and some old. It’s our day dream of what she might pack in her bag for a summer holiday in Italy.
Heidi Slimane, genius designer, genius photographer…..check out his first west coast show before it comes down the 29th of January, for info on the exhibit click Heidi Slimane @ MOCA. It’s at the MOCA Pacific Design Center which is smack in the middle of West Hollywood and very easy to drop by. Lunchtime art!
These ladies really rocked the red carpet tonight! Congrats to everyone….
We’re plotting and planning our time in NYC for February fashion week festivities and we know we’re not prepared being from LA and all we need coats! We’ve got the classic black (Jil Sander we’ll have for the rest of our lives…) checked off the list but need something a bit less heavy and more playful. Here are a few under consideration. Carven, Carven, Carven Carven…we’re in LOVE!
Oscar De La Renta and Andre Leon Talley talk about the influence of Spanish dress on fashion. I can’t wait to get myself back to NYC and visit the Queen Sophia Spanish Institute, a great excuse to get my butt uptown while I am in the city for most of February. These two seem like genuine friends they’re charming and make me happy to be in fashion!
Taking stock of the year past and celebrating the year not yet lived deserves a special moment. Champagne is always a part of it for me. I also have an everyday policy of always having a good if not great bottle of champagne chilled in my refrigerator at home. The idea behind this is that I never know what day will be the day that deserves to be celebrated, it’s also an optimistic way for me to open the refrigerator after a particularly punishing day and instantly change my attitude. When I see the bottle reserved for the next great celebration it reminds me that tomorrow might just be that day even if today wasn’t. There have been big and small celebrations for me over the years since I’ve begun to stock a chilled bottle. The most memorable was when I headed home before a celebration on the eve of the 2008 election results. En route I realized that Obama would win and that if nothing else i was about to witness a great deal of change while getting to participate in the most energized election of my lifetime. It brought America back together again. Lucky me, I had a bottle of Dom chilled. It was grabbed and shared when Obama won as we toasted what might be possible.
HAVE A VERY HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE & the best 2012 that the world has to offer!
Two great places to snag some small batch and mainstream champers.
I’m going to begin posting at least one art / fashion / home / architecture book a week. I’m constantly inspired and wanting for more, and this is a great reason to dive into what I like to call mini-courses on a subject. Published but a few great companies from around the world and procured from museum stores they make a house a home and give your mind a chance to dream.
This week is Architecture from the 20th century by Assoline, for me this is actually a travel guide after getting the chance to visit a few landmark 20th century American homes over the last few years, it’s a new passion and really lets you see how the geniuses that shaped our world lived and worked.
