hat

i've been looking for a straw fedora / panama hat. this one is quite perfect.

parfume!

i saw and smelled this scent at vert...the iris pallida is apparently quite a rare flower...thus the $200 price tag on the l'artisan parfumer item.

20x200

this is a pretty great site for buying art ... www.20x200.com

$13 million

i've seen this house before in elle decor, and i've even posted photos of it in the past ... now the house is for sale and i just couldn't resist putting the mls photos up.

paintings

i like everyday objects and so i like these paintings by Robert Chunn.

so and so, for so and so, by so and so

the (fill in the designer) by (target, top shop, h&m, etc.) trend is like a gorgeously decorated cupcake that actually tastes quite stale once eaten. however, they're fun to know about and discuss ... 1. rogan for target for barney's co-op 2. pierre hardy for gap 3. marimekko for h&m

nom de plume

i'm thinking i should assume a pseudonym. i was reminded of the german artist VALIE EXPORT in a lecture last night... and i just adore her alias. maybe because i am an export of the valley.
