Same content,  but a jolly new host over at Wordpress.  Au revoir tumblr.  You’ve served me well dear sir and I thank you.

A page torn from the KS playbook: above is a water color by Bella Foster as seen in this 2010 agenda.

It’s that time of the year…

This popped in my inbox today and I thought it was actually quite clever.  The copywriters at Neiman Marcus have quite outdone themselves.

As a magazine editor I’m always trying to make the latest product round-up timely and new.  I think this catchy moniker hits the nail on the head.

“Our 90 best gifts, edited for you, perfect for the out-of-the-ordinary people on your list.”

I’ll take one of each!  Latest styles from Old Soul New Heart

Maybe the only reason to go to Las Vegas.  I just heard about the Neon Museum and can’t get enough.  It’s a museum completely dedicated to collecting and preserving the old neon signs - the classic Vegas art form.  They have more than 150 in the collection.

Take note, you must make an appointment before going!

Saw this today on The Moment Blog and can’t get this rug out of my mind.  I know something’s good when it sticks in my head for more than a day!

Here’s an image from the new collection of rugs by Barber Osgerby for the Rug Company.  I’m sure if I found out the price, that would help me forget about it.  Until then…

I heart kate spade for so many reasons. Here is just one: drop needle tight.

As seen on Danny Seo’s lovely eco minded blog, Daily Danny.  He spent a night at the Crosby Street Hotel that recently opened in Soho.  Read here about his experience -  hard beds, oh my!  But, i do say, it does look attractive.

Isn’t this hotel room grand?

And here’s a selection of the many other rooms in the hotel as featured in New York Magazine.

Jamie Drake’s awesome “temporary” apartment graced the pages of the Home & Garden section of today’s NY Times.  The bedrooms are flawless.

Which do you prefer - the green or blue?

No electrician required: paper flower chandeliers by the talented Lena Corwin.

As seen on InStyle.com - Dell has partnered with OPI Nail Lacquers on custom laptop shades designed after your favorite polishes.

What’s next, do I dare ask?

Have you all read the new online lifestyle magazine Lonny yet?  If you haven’t check it out here at Lonnymag.com.

It helps fill that void that domino left behind.  I’m feeling hopeful for the magazine industry now.  An homage to London and NY, editor-in-chief Michelle Adams named the publication LONNY.

Fashion forward organic tea towels from Flowie!

Positano, I heart you already.  I’ll be here in 12 days for my luna de miel!

Over on Design*Sponge, I spied this chic idea for a bulletin board.  Hung in the home of Casey Green, you can’t help but take a closer look.  It’s an old door!  Albeit one with great architectural details. What a great find.  And I’m a sucker for anything painted black. Sharp.
