I’ve been doing a little bit of blog hopping today and I found the site of Alena Hennessy. She designs cute, simple prints that have a whimsical feel. I like her whole site because you can see Alena’s simple design style throughout. Products range from tapestries to paintings to clothing, each one [...]

One of my favorite stores in New York City is M&J Trimming, located on Sixth Ave., between 37th and 38th Streets. If you can’t make it to the store, their site is www.mjtrim.com. The website is good, but the store is one of the most user-friendly stores I have encountered in the city. [...]

I’ve been noticing the ads for Guess clothing on the sides of lots of emails lately, so I went to their site to check out some more of the ad photos. I do have a special place in my heart for Guess because it was the first brand of clothing that I became obsessed [...]
Louis Ghost Chairs

In our new house, I want to use the Philippe Starck ghost chairs at my dining room table. I noticed these chairs this past spring in several decor magazines and think that the ironic mix of the traditional Louis XV shape with the transparent polycarbonate material will complete the look I am going for.

Last week was an exciting one! I was in Las Vegas with my boyfriend for the final table of the World Series of Poker. I got to enjoy some fun parties, hang out at the company’s rental home, and drink a glass of Dom Perignon (which was given to me by a stranger…) [...]

While in Las Vegas this year for the World Series of Poker, I was excited to see the championship bracelets, which were made by the watch company Corum for the first time this year. The winner of the WSOP Main Event won a bracelet made of 136 grams of white gold and 120 diamonds. [...]

Target’s newest designer line is Libertine. The Target website says the line will be for sale starting on July 15th, but I saw a few of the pieces yesterday in a store. The clothes were very cute and had a flirty classic look.
Libertine is a unique brand. Johnson Hartig reassembles vintage pieces [...]
Rao’s

I had heard of Rao’s in New York City not because of the food, but because it is almost impossible to get a reservation there. Now that I am in Las Vegas with my boyfriend, he made us a reservation at the new Rao’s location in Caesar’s Palace. The outside looks like the [...]

Yesterday, while shopping in the nearby town of Oxford, MS, I went in the Marimekko boutique there. I had read a little about the brand, but I wanted to learn more, so I checked out their website www.marimekko.com. The Finnish corporation was established in 1951 and designs fabrics, clothing, and other lifestyle products. [...]
