A Thriftique Find

Thriftique - definition: a fabulous find at a thrift store/antique store

My latest thriftique find: this art deco collar necklace. As everyone knows, I’m obsessed with big jewelry and any gold-black combo. So, this find was a perfect fit for only $30!

Paging Mr. Adler

I had the fabulous pleasure of meeting designer/interior decorator, Jonathan Adler, on December 2nd. Jonathan is known for being a judge on Bravo’s Top Design show, decorating Barbie’s life-size house for her 50th celebration and his incredible line of ceramic décor. I have been a huge fan of his for a couple of years now and love his obsession with color. See below for his book, My Prescription for Anti-Depressive Living – in it he shows that he isn’t at all scared of combining color with pattern. Plus, he is married to his partner of 15 years, the eccentric Simon Doonan (creative director of Barney’s), who is equally talented. I look forward to seeing what Jonathan (and Simon) creates in the future!

DL: I'm in love!

Fabulous alert: Douglas Little (of D.L. & Co. candles) has designed several amazingly cool laptops for Dell computers. So, what’s the best way to promote and launch your latest hit? Of course, he turned to Bergdorf Goodman where he designed several store windows to match the different laptop looks for the launch of the line. He’s so dramatic with his dark colors, velvet draped everywhere and a 1920’s feel. If you may recall, D.L. & Co. designed an area at the fashion show we attended last year (see older posting) and it was one of the highlights of the night. See below for photos of his laptops, BG store window displays and D.L. & Co. candle.
