winter fire


John Galliano for Dior. (nytimes/Valerio Mezzannoti credit) I love the cool grey and blue moments with the most luscious red. This is the image of the powerful woman I lately have remembered I am. (Thanks to "The Vassar Girl" video on YouTube for reminding me.)

This also reminds me of my new nail polish that I bought the other day. Lacquer "Too Red" from RGB . Love love lacquer.


And my favorite winter spot for a happy hour Mai Tai and pork buns and a warm window seat. Chinatown Brasserie.

Best of Snow Boots

Without a questions AQUATALIA make the best snow boots ever. Amazing style and quality fabrication and they are all entirely waterproof. Saves my life in winter and always get compliments on my Aquatalia boots. Even if they weren't weatherproof, I would wear these every day.

From tall sleek black styles...





To more trendy...

cabinet knob and backplate

this stunner backplate with crystal knob on black, matte, modern cab doors? loving. they call it victorian, but stylistically definitely has that turkish or otherwise moorish vibe.
