Wishbone Chair

The Wishbone Chair designed by Hans Wegner in 1949 is being offered for the first time in pink as part of project to raise money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Twenty world famous interior designers designed cushions for this iconic chair that will be auctioned off in NYC on October 7. You can also purchase the chair in pink for the next year at SUITE New York and 20% of profits go to the Breast Caner Research Foundation. What a wonderful idea! I'm in the market for a new chair. I'll have to check it out when I'm in NYC next month to visit my best friend who just moved. I have a feeling I'll be spending a lot of time there now that she has moved. There are worse places to visit! HAPPY MONDAY!

Eva Lindh

Beautiful women in beautiful interiors. Stylist Eva Lindh nails it with the most surreal photos.

La Villa

As if I need another reason to go back to Paris soon(er than later), this very pink and beautiful designed restaurant, La Villa, just opened close to the Arc de Triomphe. Described as "Paris bistro-something more like the 1960's Hollywood mansion" it is "almost as if we were writing a film script. The story evolves through the different spaces." I just love the pink uplighting and the glass hallway. Oh Paris!

This is art....

This says it all. I'm speechless.

(I can't find the artist right now to credit him, but I'll update that soon.)

Maison du Marcaron

Such a beautiful store! And yummy looking Macroons! This super white French chic designed store is in San Pedro, Mexico. Lovely.

Fireworks

Well it's fireworks day. I'm watching fireworks from the top of Queen Anne in Seattle. Happy 4th!!!

Sex and Kristin

Kristin Davis looked so good in her pink strapless dress at the Sex & The City 2 Movie. I'm so excited to see the movie. Just two more days!!!!!!

Blog & Pretty Pictures

A nice little blog I discovered yesterday from a commercial interior designer. She has some great ideas and lots of visuals. Here are some of my favorite pictures from her posts. His House, Her Help.

(Great use of the print I blogged about yesterday.)

Anthony Burrill

Anthony Burrill. Genius. I especially like this video. Not sure what it's about or why it was made but it's definitely art. Anthony Burrill was one who made the print saying "Work Hard & Be Nice To People." Words I live by every day. Have a Daisy Daisy day!

May=Peonies!

I spent a lovely Sunday at the Seattle farmers market, Pike Place, to enjoy the Cheese Festival. That's right, a whole festival for cheese! Although I enjoyed the cheese immensely, the real surprise was that the first of the Peonies had arrived. I love love love Peonies! Here is the dozen stems I got, in shades of pink sitting on my bookshelf at home next to my "Keep Calm..." poster. And here are some more images of beautiful ponies for you to enjoy. Happy Sunday.

SJP

Holy OMG! This has got to be the most beautiful picture of SJP I have ever seen. The dress. The space. Gorgeous! Just gorgeous!

Dallas Penthouse

Wouldn't it be nice to be a wealthy socialite. Maybe I've been watching too much Gossip Girl and dreaming of a high fashion, high design life. This socialite in Dallas got lucky when her father bought her a penthouse at the W Hotel and had Jan Showers & Associates design it. I love straight forward modern feel but with all the girly touches. You can tell that a girl lives here, but it's not over girly. A very lucky girl, indeed.

Parottfish Dress

The party is over. Time to plan the next one! I wish I could get paid for throwing parties for myself! Last Friday I had a birthday party, hosted by my good friend but planned by the both of us. Hopefully somebody was taking pictures because even though I brought my camera, I didn't take any. Oops! This is the lovely dress I was wearing that evening. The Parottfish Dress by Nanette Lepore. It perfectly matched the color theme of the evening. I had so much fun wearing it too. I love when clothes are just fun to wear!
