Jason Wu for Canvas Collaboration

When I first heard about the collaboration between fashion designer Jason Wu and the home brand Canvas, I was a little surprised.  Jason Wu seems so glamorous and uptown while Canvas is a more rustic British brand.  But the results I saw on Vogue.com this morning are beyond beautiful.  I love the nod to Jacques Adnet with the brass accents and thin legs and the lace pillow needs to be in every fashionable girl's home.  I personally still need some side tables for my apartment so those might be what I purchase from this collection. The prices don't seem to be too crazy either. It's clear that even though it didn't seem to make sense at first, Jason Wu and Canvas are a perfect pairing.

Soane UK Visits the USA

I loved Soane Britain the minute I saw their bespoke English furniture catalog but it's always hard to order from a company when you can't see their products in person.  Which is why I am excited to announce that Soane has just opened a pop up shop in the 1stdibs space at the NYDC building.  They will be in town through May 20th and will be selling every piece off the floor so they don't have to ship it back to the UK.  It was such a treat to tour the space and meet the founder of Soane, Lulu Lytle, and her team who could not be nicer.  I especially love nautical inspired pieces and their lighting collection which is wired for the US.  They are also looking for a permanent space in New york but until then, I highly you suggest you check them out before they go back across the pond.

High Point Spring 2011: BeeLine Home

I took over 700 photos at High Point Market and wasn't quite sure where to begin.  So I decided to start with the smallest but chicest showroom, BeeLine Home by Bunny Williams.  Unlike many furniture shows, most of the exhibitors at High Point have permanent showrooms.  That means they have real walls in which to create a gorgeous backdrop to their fabulous furniture and accessories.  In Bunny's case, she decided to bring the outdoors in by blowing up a photograph of a hedgerow and having it made into wallpaper.  The green was so so refreshing and of course, a compliment to the spring temperatures in High Point.  Actually, it felt a little more like summer at 80 degrees but I certainly wasn't complaining!  All of the mirrors in the first room brought in even more light and the comfy upholstery and drinks cabinet in the second room made you want to stay there all day. I am especially excited that Bunny is carrying a reproduction of Albert Hadley's famous etegere and I completely feel in love with the green leather upholstered Star Chair.  Just another example of green is good!
