Custom Style

diane — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:37:34 +0000

A mark of quality and care that we feel deeply for, is the personalization of ones favorite essentials. Whether it be luggage, napkins, towels, slippers, engraved silver items or blankets for nestling into… the simple joy of ones pride in comforting homely items evokes a sense of pride in ones belongings and is a pleasing effort. Given our modern day requirements of efficiency and effectiveness, we are delighted to learn of Johnathan Adler customized items which one may order in a few moments online. Small items make thoughtfully darling gifts, and larger throws are an easy and pleasant addition to any cosy retreat.

We also love the monogrammed candles available at Pottery Barn,

Many thanks to Adore Home online magazine for featuring an article by yours truly in its fabulous New York issue, out now. Following my recent buying trip, I’ve shared some of my favourite spots to visit while in the Big Apple. Adore Home is celebrating its first birthday this issue too, so a big hip hooray is definitely in order!

Estate Sales

People always ask me if I get home sick and what I miss most. The obvious of course… Friends & family, The D&D building, Ruben sandwiches.But something I really miss is rummaging around a good Estate sale. My friend Sarah and I would study the Friday New York Times Estate Sale/ Yard Sale listings and strategically outline our plan of attack. It’s very important to arrive early to the sale that you think will be a winner, and proceed to the next one on your list. Some of my most treasured finds are from these sales, and somehow the hunt is part of what makes them special.

Santa baby…

There have been some really beautiful holiday gift guides and wish lists out in blog-land over the past week (Shelter, Chinoiserie Chic, StyleBeat, Elements of Style, to name a few) and I’ve been feasting my eyes on all the fabulous and stylish gifts that have been picked out.

Here are a few of my last minute suggestions for gifts for the stylish ladies in your life (or for yourself, of course)… let’s hope Santa reads blogs!

Lonny does it again

diane — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 16:07:48 +0000

Lonny just keeps getting better! Just when you thought they’d outdone themselves and couldn’t possibly get any better, they bring out their new issue and I find myself wow-ed all over again.

The Lonny Holiday Issue was published this weekend and it was a feast for the eyes. Not only was it packed full of delicious photography of to-die-for interiors, this issue resonated with me on another level as it featured one of my dearest friends.

I met David Hoey, the magic behind the eye-popping window dressing at Bergdorf Goodman in NYC many years ago, and I must say that I think of him as a brother! It was fabulous to David’s artistic and stylish flair to be recognised and celebrated in the article, which was so brilliantly presented by the Lonny team. I only wish I was in NYC to see the Bergdorf Goodman windows with my own eyes!

Congratulations to David and all at Lonny on the magnificent article and great Holiday Issue!

You know you want to….

Traditi-onny

Traditional Home magazine, the stalwart of classic American home design magazines, and Lonny, the fresh and fabulous e-magazine, have joined forces to create a new online publication: Trad Home.

Trad Home will be launched online in May 2011 and we can’t wait to see how Lonny’s Michelle Adams and Patrick Cline & the Trad Home team work their magic. No doubt it will be a huge success – with such impeccable parentage, how could it not be?!

Let it snow…

diane — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 06:57:12 +0000

Even though it’s the middle of summer in Australia, I can’t help but associate the holiday season with snow and wintery scenes…. Ice skating at the Rockerfeller Centre, the hush of city streets blanketed in snow, roaring fires and cosying up in cashmere… what’s not to like? For those of you in the northern hemisphere and in the midst of winter right now, we’re thinking of you!

We’re loving these pretty images from the Tiffany& Co. ad campaign which sum up the romance of the season perfectly.
