I have had the honor and pleasure of writing a piece for the online Italian magazine Ganzo. My recent trip to Spain aroused my dream of one time living in Europe again and now everyone knows! Please check it out to see what I think are the 5 top things the US does best vs Europe/Italy as well as what I think encompasses what exactly is the European lifestyle. Ganzo Mag

I love love Isabel Marant’s clothing. Her office is just as inspiring as she is. Isabel, if you are out there…I love your red pants, please open a boutique in LA!

Absolutely elegant interiors by Joseph Dirand.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dominique Vorillon, a truly talented photographer, a few weeks ago. His interior photography portfolio is purely inspiring.  Below are a few of my favorite photographs.

Design by Johnston Marklee, NY Times Mag. I love this Cappellini chaise and bright pink throw!

Refinery 29 recently did this fantastic private tour of the fantastic jewelry designer Alexis Bittar’s home in Brooklyn Heights. I am loving it and his cool new store on Abbot Kinney.

That floor lamp is ridiculously cool.

Check out more of his jewelry here.

Have you checked out Jay-Z’s new awesome website, Life + Times? It’s basically this amazing agglomeration of anything that arouses his interest from style, food, art+design, music, sports and technology. Check out Gwyneth Paltrow’s interview with Mr. Carter (Jay-Z) here about his inspiration for Life + Times.

In anticipation of my snowy spring skiing weekend, enjoy the view!

I had a great time last night at the “UNDECORATE” book signing by Christiane Lemieux (founder of DwellStudio) held at Weego Home in Santa Monica. Here are a few of my fav images.

I love these chairs!

Christiane Lemieux and Joshua Young’s apartment in NY. I love the color scheme!

And there are many many more.
