Gettin’ Jotty Wit It…

Don't forget to take note with an old school leather journal It's a new decade and the perfect time to not forget where we've been and how it has taken us on the road we walk today. Ok, it's a little heavy but New Year Day should be a bit thoughtful. So pencils up, my lovelies! We've become so digitized that the old school art of the written word has become a distant chore. Our entire life can run amuck with a low battery (hello iPhone, I'm talking to you) or the ‘wrong' light to read from our screen.   How crazy is that? Write an inspirational word, a note, some scribble-scrabble, a doodle, or even a diary entry in

Chai Chic! Designer Dreidels by Jonathan Adler

A modern dreidel to drool over It's been a while since we last brought you the modern menorah and it's not for lack of trying. Chanukah may be the Festival of Lights, but it's pretty dim on the design side. All we want for Chanukah are decorative objects that offer the same design aesthetic as any other item in our home. There should be a bit of whimsy for the children, but not goofy. It should incorporate tradition and modernity. It should be more than "descent enough" for Chanukah. It must be gorgeous enough to stand on its own design merits. Well, after sifting through a slew of tchotchkes, we finally turned up something cute. Jonathan Adler's mod enamel driedels

On the Road: Authentic western looks are more romance than reality…

Road trip shopping in Montana and Wyoming for iconic western fashion… Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam… Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, except when it comes to the fashion that’s cloudy all day! City slicker fashion peeps have a romantic and idolized view of Western clothing. We assume that the fabulous fringe, perfectly worn in cowboy boots, dusty dark jeans, and delicately beaded belts are an easy find in any shop in a town where lodgepole pine outweighs cement or old time shoot ‘em up references still apply. Well, reality doesn’t always play as well as Ralph Lauren’s stylized vision of the Wild West when it comes to fashion. I should know about authentic western fashion

How to Be a Chic Parisianista Tip #2: Wear Nice Underwear

“I don’t always wear underwear. When I’m in the heat, especially, I can’t wear it. Like, if I’m wearing a flower dress, why do I have to wear underwear?” --Naomi Campbell, supermodel. The How To Be A Chic Parisianista Series | 7 Steps to French Chic Maybe not wearing underwear with flower dresses in the heat is an English thing, but the French seem to have the opposite approach: wear it come rain or shine, hot or cold – no questions asked.
