Bespoke Chanel Silk Scarf Chandelier by Suzan Fellman

I really love this Chanel scarf chandelier by Suzan Fellman but again if someone tried to take my scarf for this project....hmmm.  The chandelier is "draped with genuine pearls and gold-plated vintage beads and chain." Each shade is made from an authentic vintage Chanel silk scarf and is attached to a gold-plated ceiling plate.


There are also Chanel and YSL chairs, upholstered "with specially selected, vintage scarf squares with waterjet-cut Lucite legs."  Each chair is designed around the three vintage designer scarves that comprise it, so no two are ever alike.

Globe-Trotter® Centenary 13" vanity case, $800.00

The other night I was window shopping online at J. Crew and stumbled upon the Globe-Trotter® collection. Yellow luggage. Even more, it has that vintage suitcase look. ♥ Imagine, never ever confusing your luggage at the baggage claim.  Not fighting over a piece and trying to convince a former cabin mate that the generic black bag is yours and not theirs.


Which brings me back to my current love - yellow luggage. Since it is yellow, yes it'll get dirty quicker. As a result, that is why there are a lot of black bags rolling around. But odds are, for this particular set of luggage, which roughly equates to taking a family of four on vacation (including tax and gratuity), you should to be traveling on a private plane. Just saying. Therefore, luggage is not mishandled and stays smudge free. Otherwise you run a high risk of being detained after making a because of the conveyor belt marking on your precious luggage. Just is case, it also comes in black.

Globe-Trotter® Centenary 21" trolley case, $1,350.00

Gaia Repossi, Karl Lagerfeld, and Eugenie Niarchos
It might come as a surprise that I am not a jewelry fanatic. It takes a lot to get my heart pumping. In fact, II share this with you because I only recently stumbled upon Repossi. It is an Italian jewelry company founded in 1920 and is currently the official jeweler to Prince Rainier III of Monaco. The brand has headquarters in Milan, Paris, and Monte Carlo. And I pretty much in love.


Three years ago at the age of 20, Gaia Repossi became the artistic director. To be fair, if my great-grandfather started an international jewelry company, I would become the artistic director as soon as I finished my anthropology studies at the Sorbonne. At least that's what Gaia did. In 2007, she along with childhood friend Eugenie Niarchos (granddaughter of Stavros Niarchos) launched the Czarina collection, signed by Ere by Repossi, with the hope of expanding into a more youthful market. Last October, the duo launched the Nérée by Repossi collection with a fête at the Hôtel Ritz Paris; guests included Karl Lagerfeld, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Mary-Kate Olsen, Shala Monroque, all three Traina sisters, Margherita Missoni, Andrea Casiraghi, Tatiana Santo Domingo, and Loulou de la Falaise. But enough of the history and posse, on to the goods. My definite favorites are the earrings that "hook onto the ear—no piercing necessary—and decorate the whole lobe" and the full finger rings.

Alexis Mabille for CoutureLab

As you know, I have a serious thing for bow ties so it should come as no surprise that I just happen to love Alexis Mabille. His designs really want me to go into my craft room and get to sewing, but I have cast off making any more bow ties since my wedding.

Drew Berrymore

It seems that I've had a deep fascination (read: fixation) with Giuseppe Zanotti shoes lately.
