The Imperfect Pairing

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Without an ounce of a sommelier’s wisdom, I’m having a mini-wine tasting tonight.  Which in reality, is a glorified name for an evening with girlfriends and an excuse for bottle of wine each.

In hindsight, I wish I’d ordered these tags from Papermash, that are so sweetly tongue in cheek and perfect for someone like myself, who orders riesling with steak and finds this completely unoffensive.

To my parents, who can celebrate today that many years after beginning their adventure, they are still as, if not more so, adoring and admiring of each other.

Thank you for setting a high standard.

Love, love.

If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be.

Sicily, solo, sunning, silence.

C’est la Vivienne

Monday, March 1st, 2010

A collaboration between Cole and Son Wallpapers and the bold, glam and eternally edgy, Vivienne Westwood, has me back to hoping that other  fashion retailers will translate their apparel to interiors.

Though I couldn’t quite embrace the rumpled tartan plaid wall designs, I thought the cutout lace and dogtooth, derived from her signature pieces, could make just as strong of a statement in a foyer to a home as they do, while worn to make a first impression.

Dear J. Crew and Diane Von Furstenberg, My wardrobe loves you. My walls are waiting.
