So long, Farwell, Auf Weidersehen goodbye...

Helping prep a farwell party for one of our own at the Tiffany office. Sad to see him go, but excited for his big move to one of my old cities, Seattle. Trust, I have already told him to immediately grab a burger at Dick's, and to stay far away from the Red Door, where late-night drunken desperation creepily lurks behind every corner.

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

Today is national french fry day, otherwise known as "Sophie's Day".... so celebrate by getting your pommes-frites-on peeps

Storm King, Warhorse and Pops

First off, Storm King is amazing, and if you haven't been, you really should make a point to go. It is the best kept secret in the hudson valley-- a huge sculptural park on 500 acres located only an hour away from manhattan... makes for a great day trip and a refreshing break from the chaos of the city. One of my favorite sculptures was titled "wave field" by Maya Lin. This New York Times short video featured the artist when she unveiled her project back in 2008. It really was breathtaking in person.




We also had a chance to take in Warhorse... A play that has recently won countless tonys. Personally, I wasn't blown away by the storyline, but the life-size puppets were incredible. It was tremendous to watch Joey (the main character, a thoroughbred puppet) take on life like form and personality out of disparate artificial parts. And ok, fine, I cried at the end. But to be fair, I cry at anything that involves sadness and animals. Don't even get me started on ASPCA commericals. sarah mclachlan songs + pitiful puppy eyes looking through a cage= cry face. Every. effin. time.

So bizarre

To already have to start designing for holiday when it is litch-er-lee 100 degrees outside. Ba humbug.

Touching Royalty

Not for nothing, but Prince William and I have now officially touched... nevermind that it was through a Tiffany polo trophy. Last week I was given the task of shooting said trophy for all collateral PR projects, and in the process, handled the huge silver beast. And then this past weekend the future king of England put his mitts right where mine have been. So you know, that basically means we are bff now, right ole chap?

Breakfast at Tiffany's...Suite

The St. Regis Hotel recently opened a redesigned Tiffany’s suite in Manhattan that costs $8,500 a night (chump change, right?). The 1700 sq foot suite is mostly white, with hits of our Tiffany blue and garnished with Tiffany's accessories. Additionally the walls are adorned with archival Tiffany photos. I think the real pièce de résistance of the suite though is the blue dining room. Makes me want to wear a fascinator and drink tea all fancy-like.

Busted, Green-Handed

with my favorite summer time treat: Pistachio Gelatio. Could go swimming in a vat of it if it were permissible.

Funny little card spotted in Savannah

Chihuly and TCO

Am excited to be working on our latest event's invitations- a special, intimate gathering at Chihuly's private studio* in Seattle for our top customers. PR requested an invitation that reflected Chihuly's design-- so we are hoping to screen print on translucent plexiglass. Above are a few design directions, using a more modern typographic treatment, but incorporating a lot of Chihuly's vibrant colors.

* I had the pleasure of attending a pre-wedding brunch at the studio back in 2003. It is truly a once in a lifetime experience.

South Bound for the Fourth

Looking forward to a long weekend in Savannah and Charleston with the gang... and of course, milk punch roadies. Tell it tag team!

Shani's Wedding

Attended this past weekend with AM one of my dearest friend's wedding (have known shani since the 7th grade!). Gorgeous unbelievable views at the Trump Soho... the most wonderful night ever. Filled with fantastic southern cooking and endless dancing.

Make sure to go to the love stories page-- and click on "It's Never To Late". LOVE arthur and his big feet.

Boston Bound This Weekend

Excited to get out of the city for a nice long weekend of good cooking and great company.

Day Dreaming with My Imaginary Bottle of 80 SPF

Even though I'm not much of a beach person-- I can't help but dream of staying at this incredible south beach getaway (the Tides), beautifully decorated by Kelly Wearstler. I feel like I can practically hear the soft sounds of Stan Getz intermixed with the occasional rattle of a martini shaker.

We started our revel-making at Boqueria in soho for dinner and drinks-- and then ended our night of buffoonery at Lani Kai. For some reason, taking pictures with a giant palm tree leaf seemed "natural".
