Thankfully, Barney’s new lookbook, Table Mates, pairs beautiful table settings with baubles, jewels and gems – everyone knows bit of bling is just the thing that makes a party memorable!  The best part is that there’s something for everyone in these pages, from a stylish black and white look (very Rachel Zoe) to a modern rustic mix perfect for a chic country home.

Personalities, The Latest Buzz

Let’s Go Shopping… Again!

We were in Chicago this past weekend and came across Nakamol, a fabulous jewelry store just opposite the Art Institute on South Michigan Avenue.  With a moto that beauty doesn’t always have to come at a high price, this native of Thailand has a passion for gemstones and their range of unique colors and textures.  More than just jewelry, each piece that Nakamol designs is a beautiful work of (affordable!) art.
