Having an Oscar Party? Make it an award winning evening with these perfect pieces 

that will earn you the Best Hostess Award!

You can't have too much glitter when referring

to Tinsel-Town.  Giusto Manetti's 23K Gold and edible Flakes will add pizazz to desserts, cocktails, and tabletops. At Dean and Deluca

Wanderlust Wednesday

With all of this cold weather, I'm itching to get out of Dodge. How about you?  I've been dreaming about my favorite place in the U.S.

 - The Post Ranch Inn - in Big Sur.

Have you been?  It is my romantic hideaway, and my husband and I use to go the same time every year in October.  It's only in the 50's now, but I would love to be cuddling in front of the fire there today.  Come dream with me.

Getting there is special. We drive from

San Francisco or San Jose.  The drive is spectacular..especially the 17 Mile Dr.

The smell of the Cypress, pine and ocean

is intoxicating. I suggest renting a convertible.

Trendy Tot Tuesday

Enough Talk About Women's 

Fashion Week!

Even more fun are the kids previews happening

all over the world.  Here, my edits of what's

trending for kids.

News from Diane Von Furstenberg and The Gap.

Child Mode Magazine announces

the new collection and collaboration will be available

at the Gap in April 2013. How fun!

Roberto Cavalli

For the most fashion forward kids, Cavalli

does not disappoint.  He has used the classic

animal print for Winter 2012 and Spring 2013.

Maya Romanoff Monday

Hopefully, 2013 will be the year I begin a major renovation of my home. I have been keeping a Style File, a binder of images and sources, for years now. The "wall covering" section is what excites me the most.  I know for sure that the handcrafted work of Maya Romanoff  will be covering the walls of at least one room in my new design.  Here: some of my fave images and installations of this very talented artist.
