Recently, my husband and I took a leap and built a home in Mexico, which, as you can imagine, needed to be furnished. We have an understanding about communal purchases: he has very little say regarding décor issues, and lots of input on anything technical. I am all about comfort and style. He analyzes every stitch expecting maximum structural integrity at the best possible price. But when it came time … Read More
Today I had lunch with my 89 year old friend, Roslyn Harte. Roz is still on top of her game as she celebrates her 58th year in the Lingerie Industry. A pint size design legend with an outsize heart of gold, she is not one to mince words and is a force to be reckoned with. It’s never a good idea to get in her cross-hairs. After we attended … Read More

There was always one egg, created personally by my … Read More
Lace has informed my perspective for as long as I can remember. For me, it is an artistic and poetic expression. I see it in so many aspects of everyday life; the spokes of a bicycle wheel, the bare branches of a tree etched against a winter sky, an intricately woven wrought iron fence, lingering lines left on frozen ice from a skater’s blades, shadows flickering in candlelight across a … Read More
There is a clear message in the air today, as spring emerges despite the March gloom. The sun surfaced late yesterday afternoon with that translucent light that presages warmer days. It’s a feeling of rejuvenation. Looking at the new spring Maison Lejaby line recently, this seems especially prescient. The venerable Lingerie Company has re-surfaced this season with a new management and production team supporting its growth. I was particularly entranced … Read More
With all due respect for T.S. Eliot, I do not agree that “April is the Cruelest Month”. If he had been living anywhere in the Northeastern United States, he would have, most assuredly, considered March before penning those famous lines in his modern masterpiece, The Wasteland. It’s snowing here again, an icy, wet wintry mix skimming the freezing mark and causing havoc on the roads. Never mind that one … Read More
