I've written about Etos before but they have recently renovated their space and it's definitely worth another look. The store is owned by Mercedes Desios and Alberto Villalobos who met while they were students at the New York School of Interior Design. They share not only a store but an interior design business and the chicest sense of style. Mercedes is Italian and Alberto is Colombian and it seems like they are always flying off somewhere exotic to source for the shop and holiday. They are not only talented but honestly two of the nicest people I've ever met. Their travels mean the shop is an eclectic mix of antiques, accessories and new pieces. I especially love the pre-Colombian bowls that Alberto brings back from visiting his family. I hope you'll stop by the next time you're downtown.

I apologize for the lack of a post yesterday but I was busy helping my friends Mercedes Desios and Alberto Villalobos of the chic boutique Etos with their table for the annual Lenox Hill Neighborhood House benefit gala. Their table was entitled "Unapologetically Extravagant" and with butterflies from Deyrolle and a 17th century wooden pyramid filled with flowers from Fleurs Bella, it lived up to its name! My contribution consisted mostly standing around eating macaroons!
The evening honored the incomparable interior designer Albert Hadley who was introduced by his long time friend Bunny Williams. I was excited to be able to congratulate Newell Turner in person on his new post as editor-in-chief of House Beautiful. My dinner companions included the lovely designer Jonathan Rosen and Kristin Davis' hair stylist from the Sex and the City movie, Michael, whose last name I need to find out. He regaled us with stories from Marrakech but unfortunately no movie secrets. I look forward to posting more photos of the other wonderful tables from the event later but right now I'm off to a drapery installation. A decorator's work is never done!
