MOROCCO / minimalist mountain MAISON

GOLD / mussel ashtray by LINDSEY ADELMAN
I am never one to promote smoking, but as someone who is married to a smoker (*sigh*) I am always looking for ways to make the smoking more pleasurable -- for me. One way is to insist on using beautiful ashtrays, and this one by renowned Brooklyn-based glass...
MODERN / Bleu Nature
There is virtually nothing from this collection by BLEU NATURE that I do not love. Literally. The mix of nature (wood, mostly, and skins) and industrial materials (plexi, hammered metal, mirrors) live harmoniously in things like side tables, wall sconces,...
NOSEY / Wang @ the CFDA’s
There are so many good things happening with this photo of CFDA Womenswear Design Of The Year nominated Alexander Wang (he didn't win, sadly) with uber-model Anna Ewers and SNL character 'Mango' as portrayed by Chris Katan (one of my all-time...

WANT / knuckle ring set by MARGIELA
I think I would feel very organized with this set of four gold knuckle buster rings by MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA. Or at least, very armed and dangerous.Gold Knucklebuster Ring Set of Four by MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA, $490Available here: ssense.com
OBSESSED / WAW! clutch by Sarah’s Bag
What a lot of intricate work on such a teeny tiny clutch. I mean, the rainbow comic bubble and the WAW! in all caps are attention-grabbing enough. It's the mini white flowers on red that put this crazy clutch over the top. WAW clutch by SARAH'S BAG, $858 ...

Your dreams of watching a classic cinematic 'oeuvre' while lounging on a bed in your PJ's in a chic downtown parisian department store can finally come true. From June 30th - July 18th, the BHV Marais will be playing classic films in the historic store's...
COOL / inflatable loungers by IMAISDE
Finally an inflatable lounger that has style and does not involve beer logos or cup holders. Designed by Spain based out-of-the-box-thinkers imaisde (which is, I believe, the phonetic way of spelling 'Amazed'?), this collection of 3 different inflatable...
MYKONOS / Cavo Tagoo
For pure Mykonos luxury in every sense - hotel, pool, gastronomic, design - Cavo Tagoo is unsurpassed. Nestled into the hillside on the far end of Mykonos town, away from all of the noise from party-goers and night crawlers, Tagoo is the beacon of the island's...

PARIS / Bistrot d’Henri
