This picture of Sweetiepie Restaurant in NYC as posted by Material Girls is just fantastic, non? Must get there soon. While they feature a full menu, I'd skip straight to dessert. See more pictures here.
Horst P. Horst
This photo was on the cover of a small mailer/catalogue sent out by Saks Fifth Avenue in 1983 pairing fragrances with select Horst P. Horst photos. If you don't know Horst, he was a prominent 20th century photographer whose subjects included Vogue fashion shoots and celebrities including Coco Chanel, Wallis Simpson and Greta Garbo. His high-contrast compositions are breathtaking and no one documented the deco age better than Horst. Well, let me tell you. When I received this little booklet in 1983, I was thrilled because it was perfect for my high school art class; each dramatic photo lent itself perfectly to a b&w charcoal rendition. I think I might still have the booklet in storage but I haven't been able to locate online my favorite Horst photo of a dark haired, long locked model's profile next to a marble horse bust; the intricacies of her draped Missoni shawl took me forever to get exact. Luckily, I still have the original charcoal I created: I had gifted it to my aunt, who very graciously gave it back to me for sentimental reasons. Thanks, Auntie Jo!
Rooms We Love
Love love love this Martha Stewart dining room. Robins Egg Blue, dark wood and a deco-inspired vibe. I want it now. Buy here.
Bon Voyage!
Well, here it is: my first post! After 6 months of considering starting a blog, I have finally put a stake in the ground. For a commitment-phobe, this quite a big deal. Hopefully you will like what I post here. This is meant to be a spot where I can compile all of my favorite things and anything that catches my eye. Leave a message and let me know what you think, I'd love to hear from you. I hope you will enjoy visiting as much as I will enjoy creating this for you.
