Vogue Living

Vogue Living Australia is one of my favorite interior and design magazines.  The latest issue came in the mail yesterday making Vinnie, the mailman who delivers to our store, the man of my day!  Was happy to spot this great interview with the Editor in Chief, David Clark on The Design Files today.

Happy Weekend

Have fun and climb a tree this weekend!  When was the last time that you did?

Friday's Fabulous Woman: Arundhati Roy

Arundhati Roy is an Indian novelist, storyteller and political commentator.  Smart and passionate, she is the author of one of my all time favorite books, The God of Smaller Things.  From the first sentence, she weaves words into fascinating color saturated pictures. I can't recommend it highly enough. Just thinking about it, makes me want to read it again.

The first paragraph of the book:
"May in Ayemenem is a hot, brooding month.  The days are long and humid. The river shrinks and black crows gorge on bright mangos in still, dustgreen trees. Red bananas ripen. Jackfruits burst. Dissolute bluebottles hum vacuously in the fruity air. Then they stun themselves against clear windowpanes and die, fatly baffled in the sun."

As seen in O mag

How exciting! Peggy Lipton photographed in O magazine July 2010 wearing the gorgeous Ayala Bar necklace that hangs in our store.  Don't you just love the Boule peasant blouse she is wearing!
