Design Inspiration – Sugar Paper, Los Angeles
Posted on March 2, 2016April 30, 2016

Design Inspiration – Sugar Paper, Los Angeles

I’m a big fan of Sugar Paper’s letter-press stationary.  I must visit their store whenever I’m in Los Angeles. Before I said “arrivederci” to my Hollywood screenwriting career, my Los Angeles trips were a blur of pitches, general meetings, and being stuck in horrendous traffic. During my last trip, I was able to slow down … Continue reading Design Inspiration – Sugar Paper, Los Angeles

My Ten Year Anniversary.

My Ten Year Anniversary.

I’m not sure why I started blogging ten years ago today. The blogging world has changed a great deal since my first post POST.    Back then nobody was making money from blogging.  It was way to communicate, connect, and create.

Life in Rome – This Time I am Ready for Ferragosto

First, I’ve just returned to Rome from a business trip to the States and the Caribbean.  Below are some random observations: Los Angeles traffic continues to get worse. How is this possible. Target is great. J.Crew.  What is happening? I’ve been a fan since the 80s. Something is amiss. Why is Ben and Jennifer’s former … Continue reading Life in Rome – This Time I am Ready for Ferragosto

Bigger Is Not Always Better – Peter Dunham’s West Hollywood Home

Meeting Peter Dunham was one of the highlights of Kathryn M. Ireland’s Design Workshop.  I have adored his textiles and design for ages and was excited to see his showroom. He was lovely. I think it’s very interesting that he downsized.  When I lived in Los Angeles, most of my peers in entertainment were all … Continue reading Bigger Is Not Always Better – Peter Dunham’s West Hollywood Home

Stylish Simplicity – Eres Bikini (and a short rant)

Today’s edition of Stylish Simplicity highlights the ERES bikini. Work it J.Lo  Photo. Vogue June 2012 This French brand has some of the most beautiful bathing suits on the planet… classic and well made.
