Friday Favorite: Aerin’s Fall Collection

Fall Table

Aerin Lauder’s new collection has just been unveiled at Bergdorf Goodman on the 7th Floor and we’re loving her choice of autumn palette – warm chocolate shagreen, rich golden leaves, marbleized clay and touches of lavender and opal – the perfect mix to transition into fall.  If you haven’t seen the floor in person, you really should but if you don’t live in the tri-state area, this wonderful tour by Quintessence will give you an idea of how beautifully the designs work with each other yet stand out on their own.  We fell hard for the following pieces and think they would work as perfect layering accents (well, maybe not the $4,000 chandelier!) to celebrate the coming season.

Beautiful Blogs

… to Stacey from Quintessence and Ridgely from Ridgely’s Radar for hosting a festive get-together (aptly named #JingleTweet) last week at the amazing showroom of Audiocom in Norwalk.

Tweet, Tweet!

Not only did this dynamic duo deck the halls with Christmas carols and It’s a Wonderful Life, they gift-wrapped 25 presents to be given away as door prizes.

Presents with Presence

Best of all, we got to hob nob with local bloggers like May December and Summer is a Verb and meet darling designers like Sam Allen!  For more on this fun event, visit our hostesses with the mostest (see links below.)

P.S.  A big thank you to our computer guy, David, who was able to get us a new computer while on vacation in Florida… Now that’s service!

Inspirations

Shut… The… Front… Door!

Aren’t these wreaths and garlands fabulous?  In the words of Rachel Zoe, we die!  In the midst of trees and tabletops, the front door sometimes gets second billing… but not with these seasonal beauties.  Can you guess the blogger behind each door?
