Buon weekend!
(I’m going to dream about the bedrooms. I know it.)
I don’t even drink coffee or have an espresso maker, yet I would love to own these cups. Stylish, simple, elegant… I adore them

Speaking of Fuksas, the world renowned architects recently renovated the flagship Benetton store in Rome. I haven’t stepped into a Benetton since college but I’m very curious about this building.
On Thursday morning I decided during my jog, at the last minute, to pass by the garden to see if it was opened yet.
It was.
If you plan to be in Rome any time before June 16th, I highly recommend a visit to the Roseto Comunale/Municipal Rose Garden.
The hours are 8:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. It’s located right across the street from Circo Massimo. There is only a six week window to enjoy these stunning flowers from all over the world.
Buon Weekend!
The design and fashion blogosphere is buzzing this week about the debut of DOMAINE Magazine.
This online publication was created by the same women, Katherine Power and Hillary Kerr, behind another favorite, WHO, WHAT, WHERE.
Sara Ruffin Costello’s, former creative director at DOMINO, living room.
This site is fantastic. There are articles about home décor, fashion, and yes, even recipes (bacon mac and cheese).
Plus, it’s interactive. You can leave comments. Love it.
I enjoyed the article about interior designers Jeffrey Alan Marks and Ross Cassidy. I’ve never met Jeffrey but Ross is a sweetheart. I’m not saying that just because he complimented my skirt in L.A. last year. Ross was very kind to pose in his red pants so I could Tweet the photo to my friend, Erica, a noted Red Pants Pathologist.
Looking forward to checking out the rest of DOMAINE.
Buon Weekend!
It’s time to hit the courts.
There are a lot of things I enjoy about playing tennis. It’s fun, it’s outdoors, it’s a sport you can play for life, and the clothes.
I’m dead serious. From a very young age, I’ve LOVED tennis outfits. I like to keep my clothes simple, no lace or crazy patterns. I’m there to play a sport not to go clubbing.
Below are some of my favorite old school photos. It’s interesting, you could wear any of these clothes now (perhaps not the headbands) and they would look contemporary even though they are from the 70′s and the 80′s. Classic.
Hubbell! “The Way We Were” 1973
The late great Arthur Ashe.
Carrie Fisher in “Shampoo” 1975
Frenchman, Yannick Noah. Big crush on him back in the early ’80s.
Bjorn Borg, from Sweden, my other big crush.
Steffi Graf, in the 80′s.
John McEnroe in ’79 looking salty. As usual.

Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova. Good friends off the courts but had one of the best sports rivalries in history.

It’s a Ponte Weekend in Italy.
While most of my friends are out of town, I’m using this weekend to catch up on work and to get organized for next month.
I would love to spend some time in the country this weekend. Instead, I will go to the park.
Fountain, Villa Borghese Park
One of my favorite parks is Villa Borghese. If you are visiting Rome, it’s a great place to go for some peace and quiet.
Buon weekend a tutti!
I was reading LONNY magazine last weekend when I came across the gorgeous work of Brittany Asch.
Asch has a great eye and her use of color is inspiring. Looking at these arrangements makes me swoon. Truly beautiful work.
Buon (and bello) Weekend!
