lustful luggage stands

There are luggage stands, and then fabric-covered luggage stands by Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler. These stopped me in my tracks. Have a look here.

Easter Chic

I loved seeing this fun collaboration for Easter Baskets from Amanda Brooks and Atelier Vime. My husband and I were so lucky to have met the creators behind Atelier Vime in Paris. Anthony and Benoit graciously opened up their beautiful flat in Saint-Germain-des-Prés to us and shared remarkable stories about their business and mission to preserve the wicker weaving craft. We flew back home with a few of their pieces and ever since I’ve had my eye on more of their lighting.

See more of this fun basket collection on Amanda’s site here.

It’s safe to say that most projects by Jeffrey Bilhuber stop me in my tracks. This Jackson Hole project is most certainly one of them. In part, because I love seeing his work translate to a mountain landscape, and, having a tiny cabin of our own, it serves as major inspiration. The painted floors by Bob Christian mixed with layers of textiles, antiques and rustic textures create an atmosphere that is luxe, special, yet uncontrived. View more of the project, here.

Be MINE

Love Day is beckoning and thus, I am sharing with you some of my favorite romantic gifts for the one you LOVE. What’s better than art, jewels, flowers and hand-painted tabletop pieces??! Not much, in my book…See below:

This gorgeous black & white print with its old-school mood by photographer Sara Ferguson is top of my list. It reminds me of an old photograph of my Father and his sailing buddies from the 70s. Nostalgic, cool and beautiful. I personally have a strong affinity to black and white photography. Shop via Anyon Atelier, @anyonatelier

Because we cannot forget about the jewels!! Chic colorful candy around your neck?! Yes, please. Feast your eyes on this piece with its baguette shaped semi-precious gemstones. Tourmalines, garnets, aquamarines, peridots, citrines, and amethysts! Available via Tiina Smith Jewelry, @tiinasmithjewelry

Printmaker, potter, gardener — Frances Palmer is a celebrated artist with an incredible book recently launched. Step into her world with the most delicious imagery of her florals, pottery and life in her studio. I find myself revisiting this book all the time… Shop via Moda Operandi, @francespalmer

Literally the gift that keeps on giving. Phoebe’s farm-grown florals are BEYOND. Surprise your sweetheart with a subscription to her Spring Bouquet offering. Six sensational weeks of her florals? HEAVEN on earth. Shop via Weatherlow Florals, @weatherlowflorals

Having just gobbled up a set of these for myself, I can say they are even better in person. Carolina Irving (and her daughters!) are up to it again with hand-painted pieces that are practical and romantic. Shop via Carolina Irving and Daughters, @carolinairvinganddaughters

I swear by these notebooks, and really anything from Sloane Stationery in the UK. I go to them for gifting and bound albums I personalize. Ask for Nathalie and she will help bring your bespoke wishes to life. Excellent price points, too! Shop via Sloane Stationery, @sloanestationery
