A discovery that I had to share with my readers:

original literature-inspired illustrations by New York City based designer Evan Robertson. Check out his etsy website here for the full collection. Each illustration is 13"x19" and only $24. 

I'd love to see Robertson's take on two of my favorite lines from Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise: 

"They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered."

or

"I don't want to repeat my innocence. I want to pleasure of losing it again."

Two lovely guest bedrooms. Both dominated by whites and soft blues. And both with a center nightstand. Which do you prefer? I lean towards the first, though I love the slipcovered chairs at the foot of the beds in the second.

Just finished Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray and I highly recommend it. Wilde writes with wit and humor and is a pleasure to read. The novel is full of memorable quotes...

"It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances." - Wilde's amazing creation, Lord Henry

au revoir, 2009

This 19 year old beauty from Russia is simply stunning. I love her look - and she is currently one of my favorite girls to see on the runway.
