Looking good, launch T minus 2000.

for the love of the scrub

Hi, been working on new StyleMaker website. It should be ready real soon. Just giving it a final scrub. Which reminds me, must have call-out, Savon de Marseille; verbena or lavender. The other kind of scrub.

fun in the photo booth

Love this image. Fun. Fun. Fun. Aren't photo booths like twenty-five cents? I guess this photo wouldn't have the same affect if done in Costco. If you want her darling wardrobe. By OUMA at Etsy.

Ah, lighthouses, the days before sonar and GPS. For more info.

desktop memo

Here is some place to put those very important thoughts.

bold and beautiful

Wonderful revival of 1930s florals; punchy vibrant colors with a contemporary spin. Mirabel Collection, by Romo Fabrics. This George Sherlock linen covered sofa really pops with strawberry and azure pattern drapes.  

weather channel says buy a trench

Love the look of a classic trench. There is something mysterious about the garment. I lean towards the belted version. I just realized there is only one tailored trench. Here's my biased sample of what's out there today. Prices ranging from $44 to $419. Clockwise from top left: Belted Harrison Trench, JCrew Sunshower Trench, LandsEnd Microfiber Raincoat, LandsEnd Shaw Trench; blue label, Ralph Lauren Standing Collar Trench, Target

choose a carpet already

Textile designer and artist Madeline Weinrib makes it very difficult to make a decision. Every single one of her carpets, say pick-me. You may take as much time as you need eliminating choices from rows and rows and piles of carpets on the sixth floor at ABC Carpet. She happens to be the great grand daughter of the founder. Keep in mind, it helps who you know.

out of the closet

Great discovery through the style files feature today. Not your run-of-the-mill wire hanger. These is a works of art. Made in Italy, by designer Katrin Arens; known for her pieces/furnishings made from reclaimed materials. Hangers, available in small, medium and large sizes.
