I went to a fabulous, quickie lunch today with my friend Charlotte at Ed’s Lobster Bar down the street from my office. She’s leaving today for a work trip to Israel and Egypt and I wanted to catch her before she left. She was wearing the most beautiful necklace that I noticed when we sat […]

At the risk of giving away Brooke’s birthday present I wanted to post about NeckLush. I saw this product on DailyCandy as a part of a curated online shop I believe and was really taken with not only their patterns but also their patent pending style. I like the tribal and organic pattern choices and […]

I love that it’s a shovel […]

I also like the ones below – little clusters of bubbles are clearly becoming a trend in my interests – I also love the green […]

I was reading Elle Decor at the gym yesterday and came across this beautiful rug company they were highlighting, Fort Street Studio. I love that they use the look of watercolors in their rugs – would alleviate spill guilt…not at all. It just looks like a wine ring! Stripe’s Edge – very cool. Beautiful colors […]

I remember doing a lot of puzzles as a child and they were always fun and challenging. I think my dad used them as a way to teach us patience but I’m still figuring out what the lessons he teaches us are for so who knows. After I graduated from college I went up to […]

I recently was turned onto the Brooklyn-based company, Design Glut, while trying to find a birthday gift for a client who just happens to be a CEO of a publicly traded company. I came across their Dow Jones Hanky and immediately thought to myself, “too soon?” Since I track the company’s stock closely I know […]
