We had an ice storm last night, and school was cancelled for the second day in a row.  Hopefully we can get out and about this afternoon.  Carol and I have been entertaining ourselves watching Lost on Itunes.  Here is a pic of my girls staying warm in front of the fire…..

DIY Jeans

I'm wearing my DIY 501's today.  I was able to sew all of the patches on by opening the seams on the side with a seam ripper.  I sewed leather patches on with my old Elna machine and a leather needle–it was quite fun.  I'm wearing my jeans with my Dries sandals, Christopher Ross Lion [...]

Vicente Rey

I've been obsessed lately with images of Vicente Rey's shoes… I can't find much information on him other than he is a Spaniard living in Paris making exquisite handmade shoes.

Fantastic Plastic

I have had several e-mails regarding the black Louis XV type chairs that always appear in photos on both my blog and Jane's. These are the Fantastic Plastic chairs by Studio JSPR.  They are dipped in rubber so they can be used either indoors or out.  I have used my pair both inside and out, [...]

I Can’t Get Enough Of…..

6a0105364db45b970c010536e47731970b-800wi

The girls and I don't have a TV, but one of our favorite guilty pleasures is to watch re-runs of Top Design on Itunes.  We love Kelly Wearstler's wacky, over the top outfits.  I've been a fan of Kelly's for years.  All of my Kelly books are dog-eared and I love her boutique in Bergdorf. [...]
