Before we take a trip to Austin in the morning to see our 10-day-old niece, Evie, I thought I would end the week with a sweet find for all of the mothers out there. Dear little Evie is just the the most precious little baby (Aunty Kylie’s unbiased opinion) and mom and daughter seem to […]

I was excited about this episode tonight because our Project Runway judges had to decide who the third designer would be to go to Fashion Week. Was Bryant Park calling Chris or Rami’s name? It was a surprisingly tough decision because both designers showed so much creativity — even more than usual.

Our Project Runwayers selected […]

Let’s take a trip to Thailand. My sister and brother-in-law are on a year long travel adventure around the world and they have already covered 29 countries. Are you jealous yet? Don’t worry, I have been for the past 9 months. Recently they stayed at the quirkiest hotel I’ve ever seen…and it’s in Bangkok of […]

I would love to live in Victory Ford’s apartment on Lipstick Jungle. Victory, played by the beautiful Lindsay Price, is a fashion designer on NBC’s new hit show. Lipstick Jungle’s set designers better watch out because I want to move in right now. Her apartment has so much personality, created by a mix of antiques, […]

While yesterday was the day of red roses, I wondered how many people were daring enough to give their loved one a bouquet of calla lilies, orchids, or gardenias (I definitely dropped some hints to my husband). Next time you want to send a bouquet, you could take it one step further by giving them […]

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. Since historically this is the day when people profess their love to one another, I thought we’d talk about the old-fashioned love letter. It’s a lost art. Those words on paper that just make your heart ache have been replaced by emails and text messages. While I am just as addicted […]

The artist in me just loved this challenge. This week on Project Runway the designers were taken to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to seek out inspiration from the Greek and Roman Sculpture courtyard, the European Painting wing, or the Temple of Dendur. Our Runwayers then had to design a look that was inspired by […]

Nature is beauty. Beauty is nature. And that’s exactly what the work of Nancy Bauch from White Forest Pottery reflects. I don’t need to say another word…

I first heard about Nancy through Bluelines (Blueprint magazine - we’ll miss you!) and was completely mesmerized by the organic quality of the gold weave bowl. That’s exactly what […]
