The New Architectural Digest

I had the pleasure of attending a lunch at the Condé Nast Building today for an exclusive preview of the new Architectural Digest. Margaret Russell walked a small group of us through the new features that debut in the March 2011 issue. I can tell you without a doubt that you are going to love it! The magazine hasn't changed so much that long time subscribers will be unhappy but it has been freshened up enough to now appeal to a broader audience. I was especially excited to see the Fifth Avenue apartment of eccentric fashion iconDaphne Guinness by Daniel Romualdez and the Paris home of Pierre Passebon, antiquaire and partner of Jacques Grange. There is also a gorgeous Mississippi home designed by Richard Keith Langham and the cover shot of room designed by Michael Smith could not look more chic. I hope the March issue of Architectural Digest finds its way to your mailbox or local newsstand soon!

July in Provence

0 comments

I am swooning over the photos of Marion Cotillard in the July 2010 issue of Vogue! Mario Testino shot the stunning French star and Oscar winner in La Bastide de Marie in the South of France and both Marion and Provence look stunning! Makes me want to book a trip immediately. To see more, check out the behind the scenes video online or pick up the new issue of Vogue! C'est magnifique!

Gone to the Dogs

Seems like Harper's Bazaar has decided to shoot their cover stars every month in fabulous homes. I'm certainly not complaining. It's better than a boring backdrop and in the case of the June 2010 issue with Katherine Heigl, they added some pretty pooches too! I hope my issue comes today!

Weekend Reading

0 comments

Someone recently asked me why I don't subscribe to magazines. My answer is that there is nothing worse than seeing a magazine on the newsstand before your subscription copy has arrived. That's why I have two copies of every Domino ever published. And before anyone asks, no you can't have any of them. The point of my story is that I was super excited to find the June 2010 issue of ELLE DECOR on the newsstand last night! My love of this magazine is not a secret but I have to say that this issue is really one of the best in a long time. It's meatier and full of fun articles including the "Top 5 Designers to Watch" and I can't give away the whole list but I can tell you that my dear friend Grant K. Gibson was among them! So exciting and well deserved!

The other fun feature is J. Crew creative director Jenna Lyons "12 Things she can't live without." I won't give away all of her answers but like me, she hasn't met a sequin or sparkle that she hasn't liked and I'm beyond jealous that she also owns a 1969 Mercedes 280SE! Could she get any more perfect?! Love her and ELLE DECOR this month! Bon Weekend!

Lady of the Manor

0 comments

I read fashion magazines for the fashions of course but what I really love is when they are shot at fabulous locations. I assume the manor home that plays backdrop to Gwyneth Paltrow in the May 2010 issue of Harper's Bazaar is in England but unfortunately it wasn't credited. It's a bit hard to focus on the clothes when the interiors are this stunning! Enjoy!
