ColorFULL in New York!!

Color and cubism come together to create this eye popping Shelter Island home! Architects Stamberg Aferiat + Associates designed this house to blur the line between art and architecture. The obvious retro vibe inside and out also adds to the playfulness of the house. I know not everyone loves this much color (or even half this much color) but it's great to see a home that looks like it was a BLAST to create!

A Model's Home!!

Tamzin Greenhill wasn't always an interior designer (well, she was in her heart). Tamzin got her start with modeling, then tried owning a lingerie boutique only to ultimately land on her true love, interior design. She is not afraid to mix colors, prints, furniture styles, big art, little art and funky in betweens all in the same room and her New York home is proof of that. Love, love, love it so!(all photos from Elle Decor)

Bergdorf Goodman ~111 Years of Extraordinary

When I walk into Bergdorf's, I often breathe a heavy, happy sigh.  That store just makes me happy.  When I was in fashion, styling to be exact, I often dreamed of what it would be like to style their breathtaking catalogs.  To me, that was the epitome of refinement and fashion represented in the most beautiful visual context.

Presently wrapped in their iconic purple ribbon, Bergdorf Goodman is ready to celebrate in a BIG way.  One hundred and eleven years signifies: 1 store, 1 city, 1 experience.  David Hoey and the visual merchandising team were very busy creating windows that not only take you down memory lane, but celebrate the exclusive merchandise made for this special occasion.  As always, the eye candy was intoxicating!

There are MANY exclusive items that have been created by top designers, all wanting to pay homage to "the great 1".  Included is the book Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf Goodman, full of stories and anecdotes from fashion luminaries to long time employees.

I was in the other day, and while I am always excited, everything just felt a little extra special.  BG is really pulling out all the stops.  Between the people watching and the celebratory installations, I was mesmerized.

I couldn't help myself ~
