SIMPLY SUMMER

Nothing shouts summer like the texture of rattan, wicker, seagrass or for that matter natural wovens of any kind. Whatever that object may be, a straw hat, a rattan chair, a woven tote or a wicker chaise - it is always fresh, crisp and ever so graphically textural. These things forever evoke memories of long summer days and sultry summer nights. I hope you all are planning to spend a long, languid weekend  at the beach, on the lake or wasting the day away in a hammock on a mountain porch sipping a summery cocktail in a warm breeze for this 4th of July weekend!

WHITE ON WHITE

With Memorial Day right around the corner and summer upon us, I'm thinking about white, and more specifically white on white. Sensual, sculptural, quiet and calming - white on white is a "forever" classic in my world. Crisp, cool, collected and always elegant, you can't go wrong. Whether it's an all white ensemble or an all white interior, the end result is CHIC!
