We were lucky enough to be invited by Rain Phoenix and The Paper Cranes Band (@papercranesband) to participate in an amazing art project “I. You. We. Three” She has championed an amazing 4 week stay downtown here in Los Angeles for a celebration of art and love. GO SEE IT. Quinn will be up still this week, and the party is tonight.

We are working away but dreaming of last summers holiday in Lewes, England.

Who doesn’t needs a bit more of slow motion hot man to start off 2012….

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!

I’ve been lucky enough to spend the last few days in Amagansett with some of my best friends. It’s so nice to see a different world for a few days, the photos below are from a geocaching tromp through the woods yesterday. It was like making our way through a Harry Potter book. X G

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. Living Architecture

Fathom has been wonderful enough to publish my travels on their amazing travel site. It’s so fun to collect and write about all the wonderful people and places that I came across. Check out their site and the story.
