Let's Get Vintage

I've been dying to see a movie in the theater and it just seems like nothing worthy of mention has been out recently. Vogue Online ran a piece on vintage "tearjerkers" to watch and a few peeked my interest, including Le Boucher and Splendor in the Grass (above). Time to get vintage, I suppose.

Leaving you all with this Warhol Screenprint of Mick Jagger as a weekend commencement piece. The signed print is via Puccio Gallery in New York. If you're a fan of Mick and the gang, be sure to watch Crossfire Hurricane, the Rolling Stones documentary on HBO.  

Office Inspiration: Grégoire's Gem

  One of the perks of now working at an interior design firm is the sheer joy of being surrounded by tangible inspiration all day long. I am deeply affected by the landscapes in which I live and work in, and my new work environment makes me truly happy. Instead of the interior rigidness of a financial institution, I am now surrounded by a flood of rich fabrics and textiles, architects drafting elaborate blueprints, a sea of French antiques, and, a library full of auction and design catalogues. Thus, I bring you my latest obsession. If I could jump in to this landscape, I would. The images come from the French design publication Côté Sud and depict the most idyllic residence on the French Riviera. The vacation home belongs to Grégoire Gardette, legendary photographer, designer, publisher and graphic designer. Now all I need is a new white bikini, my Bain de Soleil and a tall glass of Pellegrino - dreamy! In addition to salivating over the serene scenes above, be sure to view Grégoire's portfolio, here: http://gregoiregardette.com/fr-en/

On View: Slim at the Staley Wise Gallery

All knowing of my obsession, I was tipped off by the Mother of the Bride at an engagement party Saturday evening, that the Staley Wise Gallery is showcasing photos of my beloved Slim's work. Until June 28th, the gallery presents a collection of rare signed Slim Aarons photographs, many of them never seen before. New York friends, I do hope you will go!
